Hi everyone , this is my first review on IMDb ever , so I will keep it to the point.

I saw a lot of negative reviews for this film but I decided to ignore them and watch it and decide for my self , I actually really enjoyed it , loved the idea, mixing fantasy with our modern age, if you enjoy films and want something original , fantasy , drama , action and comedy then watch this film.

This seems to have divided opinion. Is that the mark of a good movie or a terrible one?

You can look at it two ways - as a fantasy cop-buddy movie, and/or as a racial/social allegory. The allegory is laid on with a trowel. You don't need your subtlety glasses and if you ever thought allegory was too subtle for you, this will absolutely prove you wrong.

The fantasy aspect is a little strange. An interesting premise but given the scenario, how come we end up with a world exactly like ours? So dedicated fantasy fans are off to a poor start. Much, much suspension of disbelief required.

As for cliches - they must have scoured the internet to see how many they could squeeze into one movie!

Having said all that, if you can accept all those cliches and shortcomings and just go with the flow, it won't be the worst movie you ever see. Probably.

But it definitely won't be in your Top Ten.

Otherworldly and full of action which is why Will Smith took the part. Joel Edgerton is barely recognizable and the story is sort of predictable but it doesn't take away from the presentation. This is Street Kings for Will Smith. Noomi was a cool villain even though there is more than one. The gentrification was a nice touch since there is magic and sorcery involved it makes sense that there would be different classes of people/species and that it would be very prevalent. The action was relentless and bloody and Smith was a little more level headed and not as over the top as he is in Bad Boys or MIB. It seemed darker than his usual movies which is a good move on his part. Overall I enjoyed this and since a sequel has been announced, I guess I wasn't the only one. Solid action movie and recommend.
