Oh I don't know

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2012)

I can and can't see some of the choices made in this.
First off, it's not for me. I can see why people like it and why they made a 3rd one. But I didn't like the cartoon aspect of it.
I have to say this was the best 3D that I've seen by far (Sony Digital). It's still not worth the extra $3 but this was very good vs. the crappy 3D I've seen in the past.
Production values were first rate. Tommy Lee Jones was in good form. And, for some reason, I really liked the actor playing Griffin (who saw the future). Boris was good. Story was okay but am getting tired of alien invasions from the past couple years.
Apparently I have been vastly outvoted by the general public for the past twenty years, but I am not a fan of Will Smith. Just don't like him. I like James Brolin but I thought he was poor in this. Even with the joke of "city miles", I could not buy him as a 29-year-old.
And the jokes. Most were bad and stale. A couple good ones but few and far between. They started a joke about a black man in 1969 but didn't do anything with it for the 2nd half of the movie. And on top of it they tried to sell me an African-American Colonial in 1969 without a second look (vs. bigotry at that time). I know they needed it for the story, but really!?
Another side element was that Will Smith couldn't be close to James Brolin. Why? I dunno. But it was a warning. Then it was forgotten. Voila!
But, all in all, better than I expected.
