Will Smith

[Engine]

I cannot understand why so many people love "Independence Day". I think it is a dreadful film. So much flagwaving in it.

How many of those box office record movies will be remembered 20 years from now? Every great actor has appeared in at least one iconic film role. Will has not had that role yet (In "Ali" he was great, but the movie was crap).

The only blockbuster movies of his that I've ever liked is "I Am Legend" and "I,Robot" and even they had so much potential, yet failed to deliver on their "film classic" promise. Another movie of his I liked was "Six Degrees of Seperation".

Smith has delivered many likable performances, but has appeared in crap. "Independence Day" is one of the most overrated movies ever.

show me an actor who can switch being extremely serious to extremely funny like he's turning the tap on and off for fun in summer

you can not deny that his acting talent is through the roof

some of the movies he starred in may not have been good BUT whatever has his name on it goes straight to #1 and more importantly he always puts in a great performance

let's not forget his music career which stretches back to the 80s with numerous multi platinum albums ...

will smith is probably the only other man who could've said "i could sell out madison square gardens masturbating"

Anthony Hopkins
Denzel Washington
Hugh Jackman

And I don't mind Will Smith, but I don't find him that great.

As I mentioned earlier - Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington, Edward Norton, Christian Bales...These are men who have proven to be outstanding actors in a wide range of roles.

Am I the only person on earth who thinks that this guy is overrated? There is no doubt that he is the most bankable actor in Hollywood today. I even think he is a pretty good actor. But, geez he can appear in some tripe movies.
Choose some good projects Will!!!

You call being in 8 connective movies that were #1 at the box office, plus block buster after block buster over-rated?

Deadset!

i'm a bigger fan of denzel than will smith ... but what movie was denzel funny in?

 

[Eskimo Sharkie]

He was fantastic in "The Pursuit of Happyness".

Denzel is hilarious in just about all of his movies. One of the few black actors who has not reverted to stereotypical "its funny cause I am yelling and talking like a gangsta" humour like so many others (Smith included).

Granted he has not been in too many comedies, but he has always managed to make me laugh in his films. Remember the Titans and American Gangster had some particularly funny stuff in them.

Will Smith is also a brilliant actor. I don't know why everyone hated the ending of I Am Legend so much, I thought it was good, and smith was superb. As he is in most of his movies (mind you I never liked the pursuit of happiness. Smith got a massive head over that one)

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

wow ... you found remember the titans hilarious? LOL

 

[Tommy Smith]

Remember the Titans was the gayest, most cliched movie of all-time.

Yet ashamedly it was also mildly entertaining.

 

[Danish]

wow ... you found remember the titans hilarious? LOL

Parts of it, yes.

Partly because of a cleverly scripted line, and others due to the content of the film.

It was certainly a cliched film but given that the main story line is factual (the school going undefeated, not the side stories about players becoming best mates etc) its not really its fault.

Agreed. Those men, too, are sensational.

I thought some of the stuff he said to Ethan Hawke in "Training Day" was hilarious.

OK, he's not a comedic actor per se. But he's incredible imo. He brings a natural quality to all his roles that I have scarcely seen before. Big Denzel fan.

If anything, Will Smith is underrated. He is consistently overlooked for awards despite never turning in a bad performance. Even in less than stellar movies he shines. I Am Legend would have downright sucked if it weren't for his performance. He's up there with DiCaprio is the most criminally overlooked actor.

I agree on DiCaprio. He's a very, very good actor. His work recently has been brilliant - Blood Diamond, The Departed, the one with Russel Crowe (I forget its name; political thriller).

Will Smith is good, but his choice of roles sometimes makes me cringe. I mean everyone goes on about The Pursuit of Happyness and, whilst he was great in it, I thought the film was bland, generic and so very cliched. And I'm hearing Seven Pounds is similar.

But he's a great actor.

Having said that, I could never buy him as a bad guy a la Denzel in Training Day.

Denzel is an odd one, for me. I like most of his films - but as far as range goes, he's not blessed with a great deal of it. He generally plays the same role in most everything he does.
