"It's a great idea" is the best feedback when you pitch a movie, and terrible feedback after you've made the whole thing
Say what you want about Onward not being as memorable as the other Pixar classics, but it at least put a bit more effort with its modern take on fantasy elements, creatures and world building than this film did. Also, I like Zootopia and MFKZ better 🙄
What pisses me off is that we never get to see the Dark Lord!
This…this was a glorious breakdown. Also, I fully agree how Zootopia is a far better movie than this. “Are you afraid of me?” Still goosebumps, man.
Yeah, i don't think there'll be a movie that does this message better than Zootopia
That scene alone is better than the entire Bright movie
I disagree Zootopia is a horrible movie, that’s way worse then bright.
The whole "Changed character age and forgot to rewrite lines" reminds me of unfortunate writing left in Genshin Impact
Character was changed from adult to kid, yet they left in a line with other NPC crushing on them
Personal Trivia: When I first saw this movie and the scene were the cops revealed that they planned to kill the protagonists I thought it was so out of nowhere I assumed that I must have missed some crucial scenes earlier.
I love hearing your complete and honest thoughts. This movie deserves a burning and tearing, and thanks for giving it to them, Raisor/DJ.
Not if TH-cam’s bots have anything to say about it… -_-
Agreed.
Objectively abysmal, the fact that this movie used orcs as a stand-in for African Americans is enough to make me lose my lunch.
In my experience any story that uses the relationship between fantasy races as a direct allegory for real-world racism will almost certainly fuck it up somehow. It usually just makes a bad mix of uncomfortable implications and lazy worldbuilding.
Another, travesty is that blacks only play villains in a film, like, New Jack City, where everybody's black, except, for, a throwaway part by Judd Nelson, which leads us to, yet, another, travesty, no studio would greenlight a, big-budget, film, without, white actors, (at that time).
@@hithedragon7842 Correct, absolutely wretched writing.
...The movie had black people in it, you dumb bastard.
How can it have Orcs as a stand-in for people who are in the movie?
@@TimedRevolver Not, especially, well, apparently.
Never saw this film, but I loved it when you compared its world building and themes to that of "Zootopia" (one of my top favorite Disney films). And speaking of Disney, I'm not sure if you've heard of this show, but if you're looking for something with fantasy creatures in a modern setting that tackles prejudice themes, I highly recommend "Gargoyles."
Gargoyles has to be in the Top 5 most underated animated shows of all time.
Not really zooTopia is trash. And it is worse then bright.
The concept is fine, but the world-building is dumb. The fantasy races should have came from another world and intrigued into our modern society.
Execution absolutely obliterates concepts.
The magical creatures of this movie are like a seasoning placed very sparingly on a would be great steak, if it was cooked right.
I am an aspiring cartoonist myself and my project touches upon the subject about humans not being allowed to know about magic. At first, the audience doesn’t know but as the story goes, the reason is made clear. Don’t want to spoil too much so that better get to work.
Well could you give me the links to your art profiles so I can check your stuff out?
///SPOILERS\\\: The ending to Trollhunter: Rise of The Titans was the worst ending to a franchise I've ever seen. Everything that happen, all the villains' defeats, the characters' relationships, everything they learned was all just erased from history. I love the franchise and most of the movie, but the ending ruined the franchise for me. Now whenever I rewatch each show I'll know that every moment doesn't matter since it's all gonna be deleted from existence later.
The ending contradicts itself too, like how the show keeps stating that the amulet chose Jim because he's the one to safe the world. But then the amulet choses Toby at the end because he was there first. What potential could Merlin possibly see in Toby? What's also weird is that Jim purposely introduced Strickler to his mother even though he was evil at this point. Strickler along with Bular, Angor Rot, Gunmar, Morgana and the Arcane Order won't hesitate the kill Toby as the trollhunter. Jim just gave his beat friend the worst burden he could have!
There was also an episode where Jim actually had a second chance to never find the amulet and he regretted it in the end. Even though Draal becomes the trollhunter, he still couldn't save the world. Jim's last words in the past (it was actually an illusion) was "Amulet or not, I am the trollhunter." Now he goes back to the past again and lets Toby become the trollhunter?! Draal couldn't even save the world, what chance does Toby have?!
I try to make myself forget about the ending but I can't. This ending really upset me. Rant over.
EXACTLY!
Why didn't douxie just put him in a magic crystal and then take him to a healing pool or alien hospital or whatever. Just ignore it.
Max Landis said he wanted this to be his Star Wars, and he's right in a way. It's his Rise of Skywalker.
At least we got an explanation in Tales of Arcadia, the world of magic chooses to keep themselves separate due to what happened with King Arthur and Gunmar
Whenever people like you are honest about the things you talk about.
You earn my respect, such a great video my man.💖
Also, I want to be a writer for animation and seeing ideas wasted makes me want to do them better even more!
P.S. the yacht joke got me hard.😂
I thought the exact same thing near the end of the movie : Why wasn't Jakoby the bright?
But then I remembered "Oh yeah, cos Will Smith is in this movie, and we gotta make sure he's a "kick-ass winning main character" in the end" 🙄Which is also why I didn't like the ending to I am Legend. The alternative ending was much more deep and meaningful than the ending they went with which was basically "Muh I blow bad guys up and save the world"
I’m currently taking a writing class at my college and a particular interesting book on it I’m reading talks about how authors get caught up in following rules rather than their own principles. I kind of feel the creator was not following his principles, but rather the rules of the formula that some may believe exist in genres like this. He may have wanted to make an epic like Star Wars, but many think it has be done a specific way with the subjects it tackles like the racism allegory’s. The bright have to be clearly shown as the victim’s in a way the audience will understand in the writers perspective rather than hoping the audience will understand a subtle message. Does that make sense?
Wow. This movie rivals Don't Worry Darling for the amount of wasted potential.
Olivia Wilde owes men an apology for hating on those that are actually good instead of defending those that aren’t including but not limited to Max Landis.
An absolutely inspired opinion.
@@kieranstark7213 Additionally, his, father's, incorrigibly-monstrous.
Oh my God, I Fricking hated that movie!😫
@@silashurd3597 Captain Kirk, absolutely wasted.
15:44 I never expected a vanoss joke, but the fact it fits so well makes it really well-placed.
Also, something I’ve noticed about these movies tackling racism in a “metaphorical” scenario (if that makes sense) is that they always act like *nothing* has been done to combat the discrimination in the past or that there is no “fight” over it. Like has no orc tried to actually fight for orc rights, or orc equality?
Also why must these movies make everyone just blatantly racist other than the plot and metaphor demanding it? Most people wouldn’t care or simply keep their opinions to themselves; usually they come out subtle, meant to degrade without feeling like a direct insult. It’d hit harder having one guy be the openly racist one, while others hold him back or tell him to stand down, or maybe they just stand around and let him do his thing because they don’t want to be seen supporting either side (maybe they’re racist themselves).
At least with zootopia, despite its flaws, gave reason on why people were becoming openly racist; predators were “reverting to their primal ways”, and people were scared that they would be victims of another predator snapping. It made sense.
Lastly, these movies often fail in telling their message cause they go for the “metaphor” route. Ironically their message doesn’t work because it ends up equating discriminated people to the discriminated race in the movie (often aliens or magic beings as seen here), so it’s basically saying that they’re not human (even if you include the “they should be treated equally” message). *Yikes*
The whole "wands make people blow up" reminds me of core crystals from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If you touch one you'll either awaken a Blade or be injured by the backlash, possibly fatally. The way this is introduced is better, we are shown the risk and why someone might take the risk.
I know how you feel regarding seeing a story you really like done poorly. For the longest time, I have wanted to write stories of my own regarding transformations, either into animals or the opposite sex. Animal transformation stories have plenty of good examples, but gender transformation are more difficult to find quality products. Not impossible, such as body swap films like Freaky, but definitely rare. Still, I watch them and I take what i like and I learn from what I don't like, and maybe one day I'll be able to write my own. So keep at it, Raisor!
What makes the line “Fairy Lives Don’t Matter” sound worse is that, out of context, it would sound like a slurred slogan against LGBTQ+ individuals. Think about it. Folks in the community already have been called that, so using that term in a movie that’s supposed to cover prejudice is pretty sus, and in general a terrible line. Who thought this was a good idea? Also why…..Just…..Why?
1:06:20 This movie is worse than the thing I wrote as an actual 13 year old, Eocene World, Jurassic world but with different prehistoric creatures, and that was 11 pages long and had an interspecies relationship between a titanoboa and a US sergeant. No I don't know whether I was on drugs when I wrote that.
Wow, i forgot how bad this movie was, and honestly, there's a lot they could easily have fixed if they could get enough thought into it. Like the dark lord example, maybe the reason everyone is so unhinged about him is that maybe moments before his defeat, he caused this massive cataclysmic event that eradicated a good portion of the races in this world (to explain why the lack of variety) and the amount of people who can use magic are reduced tremendously Hence, why everything looks like LA.
The inferni could have been a part of the shield of light but later detached themselves from it to bring back the dark lord in order to undo the damage in the world and return magic by anything means necessary
I would have had the magical races come through a temporal tear to escape a catalysmic disaster. This occurs in the past like the 60s or the 90s. Like in Alien Nation, where they arrive in a spaceship. They are a slave race. Essentially space refugees. These would be magic refugees. In this new realm magic does not work. However instead of finding a wand, the evil elves want to make a magic wand again that would give them power in this world.
27:05 don't you just love it whenever people pull the whole card where they call someone 'racist' or 'sexist' or what other unholy term that exists for disagreeing with them on something
1:11:11 I never knew I wanted an animated reenactment where Oscar slaps Marty in front of Gloria and says this!
Fun fact: There was suppose to be a sequel to this film, but that incident single-handedly canceled it. The only thing we got was an anime prequel.
Basically they tried to combine the world of Harry Potter with the allegory of Roger Rabbit. What a waste of a concept.
BTW, I've had a sci-fy story in mind since I was 12, I'm 31 now and recently I decided to turn it into a novel since I know I can never make a movie or show out of it. May I suggest the same for your urban fantasy story?
Maybe that's the first step to turn it into a show.
Yeah
There is something that you can see on it's called Hilda a show that's about a girl who lives in the woods where she sees creatures monsters even legends then she's moved into a modern city full of people and the fact that The Munsters would even come into the city and she has to deal with it and then leader of the show it improves more showing it no resets enough Google show you must watch the movie ill finish the whole story together
Watching Will Smith bash the fairy to death haunts me. Its like walking outside to see your neighbor bashing a squirrel to death for pissing them off. Apart from that, I didn't have much gripes with the film when i watched it, I thought it was fine but i also would have liked Jakoby to be the bright and think most your criticism is fair.
Also I find that the decision to make the predators the victims in zootopia is a major flaw rather than a minor one considering they clearly have all the meaningful influential power and even a history of genocide against the herbivores that's so recent they still make reference to it casually. Its pathetic how hard the creators tried to make the predators the persecuted ones and we all know its just because people like cats and dogs which ironically shows the species bias we have against the animals who are the real victims. Not really a good reference for 'how to do this type of movie correctly' but better than Beastars.
Hey Raisor. A show about Mankind knowing about magic and magic creatures in the modern day exists. It's called Hilda.
Yeah
that has nothing to do with this video
@@jessicapinkman-hd4bw It does? Because Raisor said he wants to see a movie or show where that actually happens?
Yeah, Bright was just awful. Didn’t like it one bit.
On the other hand, I loved Trollhunters, I thought it was a good show (until the movie came along). But besides that, I thought the show and the other spin-offs, 3 Below and Wizards, was pretty good.
Great video Raisor. And yes, I agree that it’s sad to see such a cool concept go to waste. Also racism is an important topic to talk about its good to see films and tv shows talk about it. But it’s not so good to talk about it if you show the topic in the same way Bright did. And yeah it hard to believe that a PG rated film that can be universally watched by anyone can cover a more mature topic that a R-18 rated film for adults. Also I really hope Disney gives us a Zootopia sequel at some point. I’ll gladly take over a goddamm Frozen sequel.
"It felt sort of like forts watching Indiana Jones or even Star Wars"
EXCUSE ME?!?! I MAY NOT WATCHED INDIANA JONES, BUT I DID WATCHED "STAR WARS" AND THIS AIN'T IT, CHIEF!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NOT EVEN CLOSE
(Also Jesus, Raisor!! I've never seen you hating this movie so much, specially with a longer review!!! 😂😂😂 Now that's dedication 👍 Not even l could've done it in those minutes.... Btw, l just loved this quote "Just because they are bright, doesn't mean they're bullet proof", l just found it ironically funny 😅)
friendly reminder Max Landis father is also a not a good person who got innocents killed
Two, severely execrable miscreants.
Including the film producers also.
@@thecinematicmind Apparently, all remained anonymous.
“Man, someone should really make a show about that, huh?”
Challenge accepted. ;). I’ve have an urban fantasy series (with elements of sci fi) in the back of my mind since high school. I’d like to make it into an animated series one day but for now I’m turning it into a book.
Oh. My. God. I thought Shark Tale or After Earth was the worst films Will Smith has ever been in. But this didn't just take the cake, it stole it, ran out of the bakery and shouted preachy phrases at the top of it's lungs.
Bright is probably the biggest waste of potential I've seen out of all of the movies I've ever seen, not just in the fantasy genre, but in filmmaking as a whole. Fortunately there's a lot of great alternatives with a similar concept. From books like Lazarus, Mystic Bayou and Anita Blake to shows like Haven and True Blood. It's a shame that such a cool premise got caught up in a dumpster fire of a film.
I didn't hate this movie. wasn't the best, that's for sure. but it's something I sort of put on when I'm bored and don't care what I'm watching
film was so bad he talked about another one just to keep some sanity
Me just casually waiting another year for the Kid Cosmic season 2 review
15:44 I wasn’t expecting to hear wildcat & vanoss in this review 😂😭
Oh my God, these new videos have no business being this good😄
Wow, I almost forgot this film existed.
Wow, this film looks terrible.
I actually have ideas for a similar concept that mixes fantasy and scifi elements in a cop/crime plot but after seeing the review and seeing how much the filmmakers f*cked up the execution, I'm kind of paranoid to even attempt to make my story come to life because I'm worried I would screw up.
It would make more sense if different factions had their own wands. Like orcs have their own same with elves humans etc. And that wand could be the strongest or if all the wands collided you become a god
Undertale
@@SpecialofferFrombeyondtheveil yeah and undertale is awesome
I see what Moore is talking about. When you watch or read something that's poorly written you think to yourself "Hm how can I do this better or improve upon it". And listening to people's criticisms also helps.
Wow. They really dropped the ball. From space. All the way down to the ground. Maybe even deeper from the resulting crater. They have a dragon in the background of a shot? There could’ve been something neat there! Heck, a unicorn! A pegasus! Heck, get some talking animals! Two legs, four legs, it doesn’t even matter! DO SOMETHING UNIQUE!!!
Why stop there, this would have killed the dinosaurs, if they, weren't, already, dead.
@@matthewdaley746 what, the ball from space?
@@bubbles46853-ep9if Precisely, exact, identical, one.
Watched the 300 video right before this video came out. The contrast between a great movie and a movie like this is astonishing.
Unquestionably, just different wavelengths.
1:11:31 the nine realms joke caught me off guard lmao
such a good video. i never gave this movie much though since it was so meh, but you do an excellent job of detailing explicitly what makes this movie bad. amazing job once again.
So what movie do you hate more: this or that German Tarzan movie?
It really wasn't that bad.
Imo, film critics are a joke. Art is completely subjective, and film making is art.
Fair enough! Movie's awful trash but fair enough!
I do wish you love on your future film/series work you might made in the future, man.. 👍 You have the experience and qualities to do one
Honestly it’s a shame that this movie isn’t good, a world of magical creatures and fantasy in a modern time can work. And I wish there where more creatures and the lore but I guess this film will have to do 😒.
Still, it’s a good to have a movie that has a modern fantasy.
a movie that uses orcs for the stand-in for black people... in a universe where black people also exist. It's like they dragged and dropped fantasy elements onto a contemporary setting without actually doing any worldbuilding at all. For example, a character references the movie shrek. What's the cultural context of that movie in that world? Was it a sort of minstrel show towards orcs? Apparently the alamo happened, and hispanics were involved--what were the circumstances around it in a world where magic exists? Did no fantasy races participate in it? All questions, no answers.
anyway shadowrun did it better, a thousand percent
Fanfic writers! To! Your! KEYBOARDS!!!
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the bit at the end where it's revealed that Layla and Tikka are sisters. It's so dumb because it doesn't add anything to the movie and Layla dies right afterward so it's not like this is set up for the sequel or something. It's so pointless.
Otherwise. Great video. Nice to see a complete and utter takedown of this movie from someone who also considers it his least favorite movie of all time.
Men in Black 5: Bright!
MIB's, The, Poster Child, for, a film, that only got sequels, because, the original, was, unexpectedly profitable, MIB3, being, a, Surprisingly Improved Sequel, doesn't, remotely, change that, there's no question.
Something something fairy lives…. That’s all I got.
This movie slaps very.. VERY… Fuckin HARD!!!! And not In a good Way!!!!
At 12:52 I thought for sure you were going to say he directed Puss in Boots The Last Wish
Where can I find that defense video you keep referring to?
There not gonna link it to prevent harassment toward the creator.
*Suggestion:* Reviews the Movie "Quest for Camelot".
Terrible, film, worse, soundtrack.
Mr. Raisor, ever heard of Bright Samurai Soul movie? Will there be a review about that movie?
Such a fantastic review Raisorblade! 🌟💖
That pfp...
My parents some how thought it was okay?? 😱😱😱
It's sad that Space Nuts a Adult Star Wars Parody is a better Science Fiction Movie than a Million Dollar Netflix Movie with Will Smith.
Raisor, could you make a video about the Trollhunters movie?
wait if shrek exists here then that not only means that dreamworks exists and also raises the same questions you asked but that also means shark tale exists here
I wouldn’t know since I haven’t seen either of the two movies.
Soooo... if I want my story to be set in the future, I can't include real events that happened in the past?
Or real people that existed in this world?🤔🥺
Well, not to brag, but I'm making a graphic novel series where humans and magic coexist in the far futuristic but medivally post-apocalyptic year of 4377
Wasnt this film supposed to get a sequel to it? What happened to tht?
A certain slap, totally.
Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Yes, that’s the reason the sequel got canned.
@@Dr.Oofers Additionally, it, blows, extremely.
I hope you would get a job as an animator by making your own TV show or Movie someday RaisorBlade 😉👍🏾💛💛
It’s like you walked into my brain and transcribed my every thought about this waste of 2 hours of my life. I have sat in one spot staring straight ahead for 2 hours and got more out of that than this film.
I really thought the film was going to prove that the Dark Lord wasn’t a bad guy. He was like Mandela but he was demonized by the elves because history is written by the victors. I thought the elves were going to be the real bad guys, with Ward and Jakoby would dismantling the system. Subsequent films could then study the power vacuum.
You also hit all my thoughts on Zootopia. I remember watching it and thinking “Disney green lit this?” That movie was so effing heavy. There was no way humans could have played that. The cartoon worked because it was able to bring to life real fears. Whereas with humans, even cartoon humans, it would have been parody.
Wait what… giant /ogres was supposed to be in the film , how that work ? Are they like working class people but a bit bigger or regular giants/ogres that eat people and no one notice? I wish see them and more creatures than orc and elves 😡
Yep, this is bad.
It's not magic but have you seen Urusei Yatsura or the Demon Girl Next Door.
One thing that I think Winx Club did well is keeping magic on Earth. It would have been so easy to just erase and retcon season 4 out of existance (like they do with Roxy, the fairy pets, character development, the characters aging and becoming adults, etc.) to keep the easy status quo. I mean, they do keep seemingly resetting the girls' ages back to 16 because it's easier to generate plots when they're still students, but magic on Earth never goes away.
Magic was not really allowed on Earth in seasons 1-3 and even kinda at the very beginning of season 4, but once the people of Earth learn about magic, they accept it as part of life. Well, magic did used to exist on Earth, so it was more like reintroducing it to the people, and even that took basically all of season 4 to do. From season 5 onward, no one bats an eye when the girls transform or have magic laser battles or use magic to fix an oil spill and then turn the oil rig into an eco-friendly wind and solar power generator (yes, that happens).
I have a big bone to pick with the show, especially seasons 5-8, but I commend them for not getting rid of magic on Earth.
Always happy to see Rise of the Titans slander, that movie was the worst conclusion to a show since Phantom Planet and managed to one up it with all its bs.
Could you do lego ninjago, I think you might like it, and could get you hooked to another TV show
39:10 I wouldn't be surprised if World War VIII happened in this timeline.
Me and my father put this movie on for like 5 minutes. He turned it off during the scene with the two in the car. Everything in this movie screamed dull and uninspired.
1:52 I didn't know you were a Smash Bros. Lawl watcher!
Did you know that theres an anime spinoff of Bright? Anyone who has ever watched it I wanna know. How was the movie?
On the subject of Rotten Tomatoes being reliable, the critics already review these films on other websites (RT gives links to their reviews on other websites) and weren’t a reason for people to watch films in the first place. Movies are always subjective no matter what anyone says.
Totally underrated keep up the good work man
Can you took about why the sequel of ralph is a Bad sequel and say’s why this sequel It’s just another Bad Disney sequel This can be very interesting and funny.
Disappointment factored in enormously.
Does this mean no more racism within the human race . All just hate on none humans lol
A much better modern fantasy movie on Netflix would Troll 2022.
On a side note. There's a town in Texas called White Settlement. Seriously
I thought bright was set in a modern day medieval fantasy world ?
As someone who wants to create stories for a living the fact so many projects get greenlit when the people behind them have no passion whatsoever drives me crazy, I don't know about you guys but I can tell when the people behind a project (tv show, movie, book, comic book, whatever) did it because they actually believed in it and when they did just for a paycheck, sometimes it takes me a while to perceive that and other times it's blatantly obvious.
I totally agree with you Raisor, Bright is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
a perfect review.
Raisor. Did you know that Bright was actually going to get a sequel? Well it was thankfully cancelled after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on live television.
Yes... Cause I mention that in this video...
Awesome video bro
Want something very much like Bright but done right? Where humans learn about Magic and it doesn't suck? Look up ShadowRun. It's not modern time, it's actually near future Cyberpunk, but in that setting magic came back in 2011 and changed the world. Now we cabals of immortal elves, dragons CEO of giant megacorporation, the Native Americans tribes who reclaimed their lands and formed the Native American Nations....
Main issue, it's a RPG setting, there's no show, no movie. Just an old 1990 promo, a few video games, the novels and the glorious tabletop RPG.
this kind of worldbuilding is just lazy
all they did was take the ordinary world and haphazardly staple on fantasy elements in a purely surface level way
onward had a similar problem and that nearly killed the movie for me
in the end if you really want to have a movie where the normal world and the magical world need to interact with each other either stick with the hidden world option or actually try to explore how it would effect the world.
The orcs in Bright are inferior to the orcs in Warcraft and The Lord of the Rings.
