Bright is a textbook example of a great high-concept idea being crushed by poor execution and a lead performance that never leaves second gear. While the world-building and Orc character designs are fantastic and unique, the story itself is a muddled mess of half-baked metaphors and "Will Smith being Will Smith" tropes. It’s a visually dingy, tonally confused film that wastes a massive budget on a story that feels like it never made it past the first draft. If you’re looking for a fresh take on fantasy, this isn't it.
