Will Smith underestimated by so many

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2008)

I will start off by pointing out i loved this film. True it may not be as good as the book and the CGI may be used where it does not need to be (the bad guys are human so use actors not CGI!) but i still loved every second of it. Now the main reason for this is... Will Smith. He has now got to be one of the best actors in the world. Forget films like bad boys (which i loved) which he can do in his sleep this is acting at the highest level. Much like in the film Ali you totally forget who Will Smith (the person) is during the film and he becomes the character as much as any man playing another can. In Ali thats who i thought i was watching, Ali. In this i felt Dr. Robert Nevilles pain, his loneliness and i was so lost in Smiths acting that all thought of the fresh prince etc, were totally forgotten. I will concede that not everyone will love this film as much as i did but if after watching you still feel Will Smith is a pop star actor and not of the standard of the top names then you really are not switched on. He is totally different but he is now at the same level as a Mr Denzel Washington in totally becoming the character he plays. Think i am mad? Watch this and Ali, Mr Smith will make my point for me.
