I recently got to see this movie and I still think this movie was very under appreciated. I think it's a pretty good movie, it's original and the story was pretty good. Not sure why it didn't do so well at least as far as word of mouth. It did make over $600 million though. It's a Will Smith movie that came out during the 4th. He's the 4th of July kid after all.
Like I said I think the story was pretty original. With out giving too much away, it's a movie about a modern day super hero. Only he is not a very well liked one. He isn't a criminal....not really, he just screws things up in the way he tried to help. As seen in the trailer. He throws a whale back into the sea only to hit a boat in the distance. It's basically about a man finding his was and learning about who he is. I think that's what most people had a problem with the most. They were expecting an action movie and instead they got more of a coming into their own type movie.
Visually it was shot really well. I enjoyed the camera work and the special effects looked great and still holds up very well, not that it's all that old, 2008. It's worth a watch for sure but not in the must watch category but it is very close to it.
Entertainment - 6/10
Visuals - 7/10
Story - 7/10
