But The Wild Wild West made him a good payday at least. I like Will Smith, but to me he has lost his star power. His lame, safe movie choices, along with his seeming insistence that his son become a movie star, no longer makes me excited about any movie in which he is the star. Jamie Foxx killed it in Django Unchained and Smith never could have pulled it off. |

I believe Will Smith probably tries to go for the safe part, and by safe I mean the part that panders to the widest audience, and keeps him open to the most roles in the future. He will probably never act in a role that may harm future prospects, even if that role could win him an oscar like Django could have. I don't know if I can blame him since he makes a fortune per role.

So i finally got to watch this again tonight. I still maintain its too long. It crescendos right after DiCaprio dies and the house shootout takes places. Everything after is just 20 minutes of filler.

I believe Tarantino mentioned that Django getting caught and then escaping after the shootout was supposed to be the ending but he felt like it should end on a more happy note so he changed the script during shooting to have Django come back and save the girl etc. I agree that it just doesn't quite flow right.

Will Smith needs to learn from Brad Pitt. He was a main lead but not the end all be all in the movie. Everyone will remember the "Killing Nazi's" speech, Trying to talk German and "I want my scalps" forever. It's movie lore now.

Interesting. I really like the movie, but it's the only one of his that to me doesn't flow right at the end like that.
