i wasn't as impressed as i was hoping i'd be with bright, but it wasn't a disaster like the critics would have you believe. it was a little weak allegorically. but i don't think you can apply that much weight to what felt to me like an action / comedy. my main problem was, suspension of disbelief can only take you so far when the big baddies kill entire leagues of special forces, but the handful of regular-joe heroes are much more formidable.
i dunno. soundtrack was decent, makeup and wardrobe were great, dialogue wasn't horrible, even with all the throwaway lines (kinda felt like will smith from the "independence day" era, which i prefer), and the action / choreography was enjoyable. plus, the universe has a lot of room for expansion, and it seems like series material i would probably enjoy. overall, not bad for a netflix movie. i'll definitely look out for the sequel.
