Why did Will Smith fall off?

[HookersandIceCream]

He has to force himself to be the lead and or rewritten so that the script is tailored to him. Suicide script was a mess but he forced his wack ass character to be a focal point.

Even in bright he has to a human that can wield a wand

 

[Luke Cage]

can't wait for bright 2, the first broke netflix records. What was this thread about again?

 

[Shadow King]

Isn’t he still one of the highest grossing actors?

I think he went out of his lane too much

He should have did mission impossible 2

He can still do few good movies but he was best at being an action star

How? He's either the noble hero or the gifted reluctant who becomes a noble hero.

 

[Shadow King]

After Earth (2013) - flop
Winter's Tale (2014) - flop
Focus (2015) - flop
Concussion (2015) - flop
Suicide Squad (2016) - not flop
Collateral Beauty (2016) - flop
Bright (2017) - not flop(good in terms of streams)​

Nah

 

[ImGucci]

Oh yea I forgot about Idris Elba, he's taken a lot of Will's roles also.

Movies like seven pounds, the concussion movie, etc

People are denying he fel off?

Maybe that’s the wrong word. Too negative. He’s a legend. Hollywood Royalty. But it seems like he’s peaked.

Commercially he’s had more misses than hits recently. And the reviews aren’t strong either.

Bright was a return to form I must say.

Happens to most actors. Look at DeNiro. He’s made some garbage but his position is solidified.

It’s like Kanye West. Legend. Classics. Likely be performing in arenas forever. But sure he may have seen better commercial and critical days.

This i can agree with.

 

[RTF]

A lot of it is perception. He was the most bankable actor in Hollywood at one point. Anything short of #1 people will say you fell off.

 

[Cynic]

Will didnt want it


He left the kiddie shyt long ago

He's after prestige, iconic roles now


and the occasional bag

I don't know why though... Hollywood won't let him get that until he's damn near decrepit.


Tom Cruise don't give one iota of a f*ck about that critical acclaim bullish!t

Can we get an example of an Actor that was a star in their 20's that never "fell off" at 50?

This ish has worked against him, tbh.
Will has an ego it seems, n option of last rewrite for his projects hasn't helped the overall picture quality.

He needs a great script, with a brilliant director n to check his ego at the door. These conditions met, he'd have another classic.

I wish he'd work with Ryan Coogler tbh.

He had to do those roles eventually. He can't be the hotshot action hero forever.

Trying to erase the ghost of Fresh Prince.

Or he just wants the challenge.

I think it's the latter honestly.

Denzel and Bruce Eillis are still doing a variation of it that requires less movement
