Review of Bright (2017) by Jody S — 02 Jan 2018
Bright is a movie I very much want to like, but ultimately ends up being a miss. Orcs and elves, faeries and dragons, the mention of dwarves, and of course magic wands, but all set in the modern day! What's not to like? Well, for starters, the duration.
.. A two hour movie simply isn't enough time to introduce all of the complexities of this alternate Earth AND do justice to the story being told. I felt absolutely no connection to any of the characters, and without spoiling anything, there are a number of scenes that should have elicited emotions.
After finishing the movie, I find myself completely unsatisfied. I want to explore the world more, learn about the backstory of the war against the dark lord, find out what other fantastical things are mundane, see the dwarves that were alluded to.
Knowing that I won't get that chance leaves me wanting, and not in the good way.
