Bright Ain't Right - NitPix

[@DikPix]

This video is shit and you are shit. I make better content.

[@peneloperayner8594]

DikPix which one do I SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT..?

[@omarsolis3311]

WAT IS GOING ON HERE

[@horaciosi]

This shtick is starting to get really old

[@imblacksoimslow5731]

DikPix that was cool blooded 😂it wasn't all shit he had a point when he said the movie was about will smith I agree with that part

[@kmaximusconnor3665]

I prefer ShitBrix but thats just me

[@ChardBothamYT]

I'd offer my opinions on Bright but some British guy told me not to watch it

[@AcrimoniousMirth]

ChardBotham another British guy seconds that!

[@clashpanda120]

And this fella

[@samanthathepinkjaguar4606]

And now a British woman supports the idea too.

[@PanicGiraffe]

You perfectly put into words the problem with Will Smith’s performance. It’s so shocking when he’s a huge dick in the cruiser and then again when the chief says no one else will ride with him because of how he plays this character so charmingly. It’s like what happened to Johnny Depp, Robert De Niro and plenty of other once great actors, after a storied career all their performances have melded together into these homogenous approximations of characters that roughly fit the mold of any Hollywood protagonist they’ll be cast as. Almost by design, these washed up actors get themselves into this position where they don’t have to think about or put effort into their job anymore by just throwing all their past work into a blender and vomiting it up on screen in a sad attempt to remind audiences of what they were once capable of.

[@Nitpix]

Bro do you wanna write for me because that was absolute fire.

[@joekaparkour]

Yo, I was thinking the same thing! (That it's fire)

[@nimeshajayatunge4007]

Alternate title: Bright is Shite

[@VanishMe]

Movie was meh at best. The universe it played in was super interesting however. Should have been a Series with a lot more depth and better characters and development.

[@nathanbruce1992]

Agreed

[@RowanBuchananroabie]

Agreed. An amazing world, given an "eh" story. Will Smith just plays Will Smith and it's so boring to watch him anymore. He's not a bad actor, but his characters are all identical these days. Evil elf cult was the worst part, though. It could have been better and more without all of that.

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

I actually thought it was gonna be a series which sucks that it hasn't happened

[@RowanBuchananroabie]

Yeah, same. It would have been better as a series rather than a movie, too.

[@venkatkimidi2954]

Will Smith did pretty well in Concussion. Also, if you like the world of this movie you should probably try Shadowrun.

[@SaltyCalhoun]

[@gandalfthewizard882]

I liked the idea of this film a lot, I really wish it was done right.

[@Binks182]

When I first heard the premise I was excited to see it. Then the reviews came out I was like ohhhhhh ohhh nooo.

[@tomaibetter]

If you are looking for a good fantasy cop story. Can I recommend the Rivers of London book series. It's written by an old doctor who writer, with every book focuses on an actual mystery and follows the rules set by UK police and the limitations of magic. With characters who are very human and a good amount of depth.

[@finn-3976]

ToMaiBetter couldn't agree more, dying rn waiting for the next book

[@dragoniraflameblade]

Thank you!

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Still shocked this isn't a tv show yet, it's perfect .... If the BBC or ch4 picked this up would be cool.

[@24FramesOfNick]

Damn that's such a simple and amazing title

[@zacroffs]

I hear people saying that it was in an interesting world, but the world didn’t hold up to any scrutiny. The idea of that world was incredible, but the writers made it play out in the least innovative and safest way possible - the world is exactly the same as ours, never having been changed in the slightest by the fact that magic is real, orcs are real and elves are real. It felt like the week before the movie started an elf town and and orc town had fallen from the sky, and everyone was pretending nothing happened.

[@Bman846]

Zachary Roff-Smith In that world, humans have gotten used to the existence of magical creatures because they coexisted for thousands of years. That's very different than if elf town and orc town suddenly dropped out of the sky.

[@linagonzalez6080]

The rapid transition from the normal All Star to the ear rape All Star genuinely scared me

[@w3ghe711]

"a good time no alcohol required" Jeremy Jahns

[@MrAlbinoGhost]

I rather enjoyed the movie in spite of its flaws since I'm a sucker for urban fantasy, but I'm not gonna pretend it's great. It's mindless, mostly entertaining fun set in an interesting universe with lots of potential should they return to it with a better script.

[@LeWaggleton]

I am more or less in your camp, @Simon.

[@kieakewii]

Same but people think they are film critics and that art isn’t subjective. Not coming for Nitpix

[@21Dazzler]

This.

[@hannahwyatt4830]

Is it horrible that i started to dislike the girl elf as she started to talk more towards the end Like she was a good character for the small fragile sacred girl who finds comfort in a the orc and will and she didnt talk which added more to that pure character that was a game changer and had amazing power then she ruined it by talking

[@bobeldeztroyer4114]

Wow Bright is just a worse version of Zootopia

[@sernoddicusthegallant6986]

honestly it just sounds like a really, really, really shit shadowrun adaptation

[@lenonel3286]

Needed some r34-friendly characters

[@BobChillison]

Yadidya Greenberg it's essentially suicide squad 2

[@sacb0y]

I don't like the zootopia comparison, doesn't work beyond the prejudice angle but the characters are treated completely differently. I personally like Bright more than Zootopia.

[@nathanbruce1992]

BobEldeztroyer: Dude it’s pretty awesome if you view it from a cyberpunk angle and leave your preconceptions that it’s trying to say “racism is bad.” Honestly, it is what you make of it. I went in expecting nothing and literally had never heard about it and while it was a little bad plot wise, I felt it was one of the only faithful cyberpunk world adaptions

[@danieloconnor1819]

When you post my skin clears up but then at the end when I'm finished being entertained your criticisms sink in and they stress me out so much that I break out into hives. Thanks :)

[@MrGreaves]

Wait. Thinking about Netflix films... Death Note... no, no! It’s too bad to revisit.. too bad.. unless you’re NitPix... help us, NitPix... you’re our only hope.. to rip the shit out of Netflix’s Death Note.

[@ThePonderer]

Also, does Lord of the Rings exist in this universe? Is it like a historical document or is it just considered a horribly racist piece of historical fiction?

[@jordanm9014]

background music choice 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@setobikouta2310]

[@peneloperayner8594]

Also, will Smith's character's last name is ward... like shield or one letter away from fucking WAND

[@BK-ku1zt]

WHAT A TWIST

[@gaphic]

Apparently rikki tikki tavi was written as a small child and then aged up. And the script. Was not changed. So yeah, she’s LITERALLY a child in a 20-something body

[@IsabellaSara-ii5rs]

I feel like bright is one of those films that you watch cause Netflix is pushing it, you think it’s kinda boring and repetitive the completely forget. But it definitely could have been good if they didn’t make a generic action film starring Will Smith, who only ever plays himself

[@moneykenny119]

fantastic use of instrumentals. I heard I wonder and Diablo and am very pleased

[@geckomaniac3801]

you and ralphthemoviemaker are probably my favourite reviewers on this site.

[@medes5597]

Red Letter Media > any other KZbin reviewers

[@tehFozzeY]

Terry Beardmore Yeah both of those rip off Plinkett basically

[@Rhinee]

Damn how can you go from making end of watch, to suicide squad, and then to bright. That’s one hell of a downward slope

[@metalmugen]

Bright is fine tho. Better than Suicide Squad. It's a film you watch once, you get entertained and then you kinda forget it.

[@iliftthingsupandputthemdow4364]

Rhine I live in East LA and have lived in south as well, end of watch is massively exaggerated. Gunfights are not carried out throughout a neighborhood in real life. If the cops find these punks they are fucked. Just the other day on the helicopter loudspeakers they were telling some dude down my street to come out or they were going to go in with swat. Said the dudes name and blocked off the street at both sides.

[@RileyHarrisVFX]

End of watch, Fury, Suicide Squad, Bright... fuck me, you’re not wrong

[@tetryst]

It seems like most of his complaints about Bright stem from him assuming it was trying to be something that it wasn't. I assume NitPix is just flat out not familiar with Shadowrun or anything in that vein of cyberpunk fantasy. Suicide Squad, on the other hand, was studio garbage that only exists because Margot Robbie wants to pretend she's not working in pornography.

[@truereligionfiend738]

The Mexicans wanted to get the wand so the leader could walk again for his gf or wife

[@MrGreaves]

Omg 😂😂 loved this one. 5:15 was a highlight for the funniest moment in this channel so far for me. This is a video to remember, like all of your content.

[@M6nst6r6]

The good thing about this movie, that it's bring us step closer to Shadowrun the Movie or Shadowrun the series!!

[@zfbananas]

I'd be interested hearing your thoughts on the actual Landis script (easily Googleable if you add 'PDF' to your search) and how much of the film's faults can be attributed to Ayer.

[@cram2979]

You, sir, have the best background music of any KZbinr.

[@anaclara.4486]

i laughed so much at 01:45

[@riat9]

Ana Clara Mourão yes great ear destruction

[@kornilious]

Your videos make my day.

[@jaredspence3020]

I loved Bright but I also loved this critique. Someone once told me that not every meal I eat is going to be a 5 star meal and that it's ok. So while I agree with most of this video, Bright was one my favourite films from last year

[@murdergiraffe19]

Is that Glass Animals I hear?!

[@cool64378]

Why is nobody talking about this?!

[@jerrybroad]

My god!!! I literally just realized that Life Itself by Glass Animals is playing in the background at 7:20. New level of love for NitPix.

[@jordanroos1634]

I always enjoy watching your videos. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@cesarf.g.9996]

That "Everything I am" Kanye song in the background is super soothing.

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

Will smith can't act, he's just charismatic. But then again movies that try to sheohorn racsim just doesn't work because the director never knows what to do with it, even Lakeview Terrace and Babel are more subtle than this.

[@jameer7565]

TheLakabanzaichrg He can't act? What about pursuit of happiness?

What do you know about Gardner that's diferent from will smith?.

[@johnphillips6994]

Listen man, I get that this movie isn't Emmy-deserving shit dude. But at the same time, its not supposed to be, the movie in itself makes fun of all the ideals that you ragged on it for having. A sexualized pixie girl?? HOW?? She had on coveralls and a long sleeve shirt, not only that but she was constantly shown killing people to defend herself. Not only this, but you say: "Don't give me that shit, that she was drained after reviving Jakoby from the dead, just don't give me that shit, after we've seen her use the wand to kill many people", OK, YES! She did kill many people during the night, which I would imagine would take a lot out on her energy (in this magical world), then she follows all of the running and fighting with A FUCKING RESURRECTION, and you don't think: "yeah maybe that'd tire a person out in this FICTIONAL MOVIE. And that's just Tikka! Oh my God Jakoby! "I really liked his character but I feel like he was given really dull and cheesy lines, but the actor really gave it his best for being under so much makeup", the whole point of his cheesy, teeth gritting lines was exactly what you pointed out earlier in that, HES A FISH OUT OF WATER, first Orc police officer in L.A and his partner hates his guts because he made one almost fatal mistake. His lines are awkward because HE'S awkward, that's the joke. Not only that but later in the movie it makes it funnier when he can make a quip back to Ward that was almost as funny as Ward's lines. It's IRONY. And Ward? Yes, I will agree it seems like a hollow character at some instances, like it's just Will Smith, but that being said I don't think that means there absolutely is NOT a character to Ward; one that makes him funny, slightly unapproachable, and wise. He's constantly mean to Jakoby because he has a daughter and a wife to come back to and support and that, in its entirety, is the whole reason he doesn't want Jakoby in his car, because it will make more flak for him. As for the "Killing hundreds of poor mexicans; way to go, GREAT POLICE WORK" What would you have liked them to do? In that scenario, any single cop in the US would say they'd pull their gun and run out of ammunition before letting someone with a weapon close to them. And it's not like it's all gun violence either, for fuck's sake the TASERED A DUDE TO GET HIM TO STOP FOLLOWING THEM, then they pepper-sprayed three dudes in the club that were trying to kill them, Jakoby CQC'd like 15 people in the whole movie and they were constantly trying to get away from action. I don't know what you wanted them to do in this situation because it seems like in this scenario, the played it flawlessly. As for the bad guys always knowing where they are, I could chock that all up to the neighborhoods all being connected by spotters and things like the sort (as you see in one of the scenes) but that is one of the only things I legitimately think was forced, that and Tikka speaking English with thirty minutes to spare in the movie, and the fact that the villain elf gets shot but magically gets back up with no reasoning. I just personally think you are being way too hard on this movie that doesn't even want to take itself seriously let alone be criticized by its lack of seriousness. I get wanting a movie to have every detail thought of, and played out/ executed perfectly, but i also get the movies like bright, who were self contained, fun movies to watch with no real hard core goal to achieve. THATS FUN SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES A MOVIE CAN HAVE NO GOAL. -Peace

[@seanboland4671]

"your show says nothing and it says that nothing badly" every show/movie or anything always has some message/purpose. A movie that's clearly an allegory to racism is gonna take itself seriously in 2019. It's not trying to not take itself seriously, it's trying to come off as relatable and easy to watch. But what ends up happening when you do that is you lose all nuance and it becomes a run of the mill action flick that we see 40 times a year. The fact that it has nothing to say doesn't mean you can't criticize it. If they weren't taking themselves seriously they would've tackled a problem that isn't such a hot potato at the moment.

[@izabellaalmeidap]

YES glass animals in the background!

I really enjoyed this movie and I completely agree with you. But when I see it, it reminds me when I first watched it and got a crippling migraine out of nowhere... I threw up all night that night... Second worst thing I've been through... The first was a panic attack so bad it almost killed me. I'm still messed up from that...

1:48 HEADPHONE USER WARNING. It's too late for me, save yourself

[@GeorgiosD90]

Great movie! If there is something not right, then it is you

[@alyssearceneaux4781]

I enjoyed Bright but I really think you hit the nail on the head with most of this. I think perhaps Bright would have been done better as a show a la The Wire. As a show they wouldn’t be able to cast Will Smith and we could have a less known actor who could have disappeared into the role better. The long con and possible multiple seasons would have allowed more a fully developed world, more fleshed out characters, and multiple plots, like the struggles of minority communities that you mentioned. Perhaps Bright 2 will learn from the failings of the first but probably not.

[@Aramishhh]

[@Coltranized]

"But at least the film told us racism is bad." I laughed a good portion of this video, but that last line really got me hysterically laughing for at least a minute.

[@boybutch]

You should do To the Bone!! It is a lot like 13 reasons why but with EDs, and there are so many things wrong with it. I would love to see what you think about it. Love the channel btw!!

[@jacknapier9042]

What would you say is wrong with it? I found 13 reasons to justify, even romanticizes suicide, and to the bone really showed how ED rips lives apart.

[@boybutch]

I think the first part of to the bone was a good portrayal of eating disorders, I just found the lack of a recovery story to be unrealistic and focuses way too much on her behaviors in the eating disorders. For example, the pattern of her wrapping her fingers around her arm shows the views, "hey look, Ellen is self-conscious of her arms, so why aren't you?" My friend who struggled with an eating disorder said after watching to the bone, she starting doing the same thing. But I think the part that frustrates me the most is how they show a recovery from an eating disorder (or any mental illness) as having an epiphany, and then suddenly getting better, but that is not at all how it is. With any mental illness, an epiphany does not solve anything. Hard work, dedication, and the constant challenging of your negative thoughts is the harsh reality of mental illness, it is something you have to battle constantly. I think the movie would have raised more awareness of overcoming a mental illness or an eating disorder if they had spent more time developing the recovery, showing that "hey, if ellen can do this, so can you."

[@privatehuff]

Earned my sub with this

[@raventrunite6459]

YALL WHEN GLASS ANIMALS STARTED PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND I FLIPPED MY SHIT NGL

[@sacb0y]

Swear it's like people don't get it... People place the social message in the movie in the wrong light. People completely miss concepts like living to stand above the perception of your race leaves you alone excluded from both your race and the others. Like that's a real thing I don't commonly see represented in media, cause it's kind of uncomfortable. People are focused on the movie needing to explore racism and poverty it misses the more realistic messages. I'm glad the movie didn't simply focus on racism between races, it's focusing on living with it, and how a lot of people aren't doing the right thing. leaving people in the cold because they hate cops, hate orcs, even if in both cases that concern is reasonably justified. You can't really call any of the prejudice displayed in the movie "wrong", but you can see how the behavior isn't helping. And sure maybe the plot is a bit generic but if it's setting up to be something bigger and greater I look forward to it. There's massive potential and I think it's ok the story started on a small scale. The way this movie tackled the race issue is a way I'd like to see it tackled more often, it has a better understanding of what's going on than I think most people do, as evidenced by the reviews.

[@lemondelight4181]

Isiac DaGraca 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Isiac DaGraca trying to raise a dark lord is the opposite of small scale lol

[@nathanbruce1992]

Isiac DaGraca: I agree, I feel like we’ve gotten to a point where the majority of people shut off and tune out as soon as race is mentioned. It’s kinda sad

[@TheNSJaws]

Isiac DaGraca This ^ The movie didn't need to explore racism in the all so predictable and preachy way that everyone, even in this comment section, wanted it explored. It actually went step above in maturity (One of the few things done excellently...), and showed that not every issue is addressable by the individuals or that there is always a time to address such issues. It shows a passive acceptance of a grimy situation. It is more realistic in its portrayal, and a bit more cynical. The plot leaves a lot to be desired, yes, but it was a fun watch, the action scenes were good (If you think otherwise, bite me, it's their 1st go at it.), certainly had inconsistencies there too (Marketplace positioning was a bit wonky with the car and everything.), but it's far from bad. Now to address the critique more: As far as 'already seen before', yeah, you'd have a point if there was anything new under the sun in like forever. Get off your high horse, if you don't like action movies and the common tropes they have, just spare yourself the pain of reviewing one, you obviously do not enjoy them or what they have to offer. In other words, relax nigga, it ain't that deep.

[@TheNSJaws]

Nathan Bruce Because most of today's race issues are petty shit that wasn't racist to begin with, but was for some reason escalated to that point. Cry wolf long enough, and when one dies come, nobody will care to come to your aid. Can't blame the people nor creators for not wanting to touch that shit with a 10 foot pole.

Meh film, but im disproportionately intrigued by the world it's set up. The movie as a whole forces one to ask on what level is it allegorical or literal. It's weird but interesting. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Tiika was a strange and empty character... She actually kinda reminds me of Leeloo when she first arrives in the Fifth Element (before she learns English), the only difference is, ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS ACTUALLY ENDS UP CONTRIBUTING AND BEING INTERESTING>

Dj Togusa: I loved that aspect about it, the universe is amazing. Plot and characters were meh

Well, it's ShadowRun, which was always pretty shitty. People just expected it to be a metanarrative about race in the real world, so they didn't treat it like the pulp it was trying to be, making it the target of easily reinforced but ultimately misguided media coverage.
