Bright's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
"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."
The Guardian
"For all its flaws, 'Bright' is still a headlong leap into a bracingly different new world. Cinema could do with more of that."
Collider
"In the end, it's probably a blessing for 'Bright' that it ended up on Netflix, where it can sit in a queue for as long as the audience wants. It's the opposite of must-see."
The Telegraph
"[It's] an overcooked genre mash [...], feels like the non-brainwave of a random plot generator."
The Wrap
"There may be no more unexpected (or damning) faint praise for David Ayer?s new movie 'Bright' than this: It made me wish I was watching 'Suicide Squad' instead."
The Hollywood Reporter
"The finished product, though plenty embarrassing, isn't quite involving enough to merit the kind of pile-on mockery that greeted Ayer's DC Comics abomination 'Suicide Squad'."
Vanity Fair
"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."
Indiewire
"From the director of 'Suicide Squad' and the writer of 'Victor Frankenstein' comes a fresh slice of hell that somehow represents new lows for them both ? a dull and painfully derivative ordeal that often feels like it was made just to put those earlier misfires into perspective."
The Playlist
"'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."
