The majority of Audiences are not comfortable with the image of a strong caring Black father and a son who loves and respects him.



The movie was kinda bland though. :yeshrug:

how much they cost to make though :pachaha:

Sixth Sense: 40 million
Unbreakable: 75 million
Signs:72 Million
The Village:60 Million
Lady in the Water: 70 Million
The Happening:48 Million
The Last Airbender:150 Million

=515 Million Total overall Budget on 7 Films in the last 14 years


With an over 2 Billion gross worldwide and that's not counting Home Video sales and TV distribution rights, I think this shows M. Knight is very consistent at the box office. We will see how he holds up with "After Earth".

Here is one of the best articles I read about M. Knight's whole career of ups and down. He even made some points I did earlier:

(M. Knight was hailed as the Next Spielberg and Hitchcock by critics and journalist at one point)

The twist to this movie is that Jaden and Will are really in a virtual reality game competition on how to live in a earth with no humans and everything trying to kill you. They eventually surpass everyones high score,take off their helmets and are greeted and congratulated by Fred Savage. But to further his writting and directing skills,he has a bigger twist as the movie reveals itself as Wizard 2 right before the credits roll. fukking amazing

So the Will Smith apologists are saying 1 of 2 things....

1) Movie is getting bad reviews because Will Smith is black. Like Will Smith being black all of the sudden matters when it didn't before.

2) M. Knight is responsible. Even though by every indication this is Will Smith's movie, Will Smith's idea, Will Smith's chosen screen writer, and Will Smith who approached M. Knight and begged him to direct HIS story. Will Smith Seduced M. Night Shyamalan With 'After Earth' Pitch - Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV.com

It's getting bad reviews because of 'cism? I guess Hangover 3 is as well. I mean, it's not like these movies looked like ass from their trailers or anything :shaq2:

I saw the flick last night. I enjoyed it. I really dont understand the hate its getting. I really just cant see it. It aint justified. I didnt go in expecting some next level shyt like The Matrix or Inception. I was expecting a good summer popcorn flick....and thats what it was. The gawd Will didnt disappoint. :salute:

Just know that he produces the movies he's in so he has a huge hand in the script - keep that in mind. He aint lettin no fukkery go down.
The movie is real straightforward. Aint no twist at the end! But I didnt stay for the closing credits. Haha To me it was a father and son, coming of age story. This was definitely Jaden's movie if you cant tell. He carried it well. Some of the dialogue was a little heavy handed and had a cheesy moment or two but that happenns in every flick. I would like to see a prequel on Will's character about his ghosting and about the daughter.
Again, I thought it was dope. Go see this shyt. I dont listen to other folks reviews no way. I judge for myself.

My car gets 11mpg Breh, what's more American than that?

I need to save my $$$$$$ to fill that tank. So any help I can get to avoid steaming heaps of shyt like this movie is appreciated. Especially when Will and his son are getting bloated salaries by passing off this fukkery to American's as entertainment. Stop making shytty movies and I'll stop listening to critics. It's as simple as that. I'm tired of being tricked into sitting through and paying for half assed concepts.

Thank you to the critics for saving me the $55 ($5 worth of gas) I would have spent going to the movies to see this shyt.

Also, I thought Transformers 2 and 3 was CRAP. The first one was ok due to nostalgia. I'm guessing the people who are feeling this movie probably also thought the critics got Transformers 2 and 3 wrong. Am I right?
