It can be both dude. He can have done a lot of good acting and ****ing mailed it the **** in on this one. But don’t mind me. Go ahead and over generalize. It’s where we are as a society today - totally binary. Everyone is either Daniel Day Lewis or ****ing garbage. Nuance is so last millennium. ****. |

Will Smith as himself is fairly entertaining. It works for him a lot of the time.
Of the ones listed, I have seen I Am Legend, Enemy of the State, and Pursuit of Happiness. It's just Will Smith as Will Smith if he were put in those circumstances. It was fine. It worked for Men In Black and I Robot too. Will Smith as himself isn't the worst thing in the world but he is not a character actor. |

The recent rash of remakes clearly proves that Walt's influence on his beloved company is about gone.
His motto was keep moving forward. Instead, we get guaranteed cash grab remakes. The only good remake was Cinderella and that is because Kenneth Branagh focused on making a movie and not agendas. |

Thats more about the state of the industry as a whole more than anything. People rarely go to the movies on something they have never heard of anymore.
Disney is in the business of making tentpoles and keeping shareholders happy. Not to be risky and edgy.

I don't need an edgy Disney. Just give me a Disney that wants to continue to strive for new ideas. Remaking animated classics is just lackluster. Especially when the new movies really don't add anything worthwhile. |

Yea I would agree. But these things are making money. Unlike stuff like Wrinkle in Time.

Disney is making new movies all the time. Frozen, Moana, Coco, Wreck it Ralph, plus many more are all new ideas and characters. Whether they add in anything worthwhile is subjective but they are certainly constantly creating new movies and exploring emotions on a level that many movies can’t even touch. As for the remakes, they aren’t mailing them in. They are well made and keep people interested in the stories. I’m sure most people who enjoyed them growing up will enjoy the remakes, and now they get to experience them with their kids and Disney doesn’t have to rely on parents only to show these movies to kids. One thing to remember is that these movies make nothing in terms of dollars compared to what the parks make each year. Disney parks and resorts made $20 billion just last year. The movies are not about the cash grab. They are about keeping people interested in Disney as a whole and keeping the parks from becoming stale. The parks have countless attractions, themes, and resorts that are all tied directly to older characters. Those have to stay appealing and the remakes help with that. |
