this ambitious, yet astonishingly well-executed Netflix tentpole directly benefits from the way Ayer's gritty, streetwise sensibility grounds Landis' gift for creating an elaborate comic-book mythology
there is a whiff of an interesting idea in there, but it is buried in tedious scenes lacking clear direction, endless generic (and poorly lit) shoot-outs, and cringeworthy sequences of allegedly witty banter. This movie is an absolute wreck
Bright is a movie that spends far too much time explaining itself --and, often, re-explaining itself-- that the actual story, when we finally get to it, is not much more than empty gunshots and blood splatter with a faerie tale twist
"Bright" tries to create a unique and dynamic world with the juxtaposition of harsh police life, crime and modern life contrasted with this imaginary magical realm, but it's contrived, unconvincing and most of all calamitously preposterous
