Why do the masses keep sh*tting on Will Smith's recent career ?

[Ribbs]

because lately he has made shytty movies while turning down good roles

/thread

The same ones that shyt in Will never shyt on B. Willis who has been doing a lot of Straight to DVD movies and pretty much a bunch of co starring movies.... Rarely the headliner

Yeah I did. From The Hateful Eight thread...

As long as the check clears, Sam will do the movie. He makes at least three movies a year since the early 00's. He doesn't care about the script, the cast or what the movie's about he'll do it as long as the ink is dry. Same with Bruce Willis, same with Seagal and as long as the wig is good, same with Woody Harrelson.

Bruce is much older and more stubborn. He got kicked off The Expendables set because he wanted 1 mil a day. He was a hassle to work with on Cop Out too. Haven't heard any reports that say the same for Will.

Of COURSE their going to hate on the most commercially successful black actor of the past 20 years. If the Cosby debacle has taught us ANYTHING it's that no matter how "safe" you might be once you step out of the bubble and do something against the status quo they gonna give you your njgga wake up call.

[QUOTE="Ziggiy]But of course it's nepotism. In Hollywood, where Charlie Sheen, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Ben Stiller, Liza Minnelli, Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Bridges, and Miley Cyrus exist....its JADEN who is now the unholy representation of nepotism in fukking HOLLYWOOD
[/QUOTE]

Jaden played a role made famous by a white actor, OF COURSE they're going to be mad at him. And Nic Cage is the bad movie GOD, so watch it


[QUOTE="Ziggiy]And then it's Scientology, a "religion" that Will has NEVER claimed. But in Hollywood where Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Jason Lee, Nancy Cartwright, Jenna Elfman, Kristie Alley, and Giovanni Ribsi exist...it's WIll who receives the brunt of the criticism and critics make After Earth out to be some sort of Scientology propaganda[/QUOTE]

Really breh? Now you're just grasping for straws.

Will made bad movies, point blank. He also studies Scientology which most either don't understand or just use as a stick in the bicycle wheel. Focus was the only recent movie that didn't have any story about budget (MIB) or Scientology (After Earth) or controversy (Concussion) surrounding it.

 

[Formerly known as...]

I respect Will and like most of his films but some have lacking lately...Focus wasn't great at all overall, After earth

He needed to do Concussion because it isn't his typical style, I think he needs to put himself into different roles....But he must do Bad Boys 3.

because the will smith people liked doesn't exists anymore
he's an old man, not the fresh prince
plus if you're not at the top as a black man you are a disappointment to white people
it's the magical negro syndrome

will smith was the magical negro to these cacs, now the magic is gone and they are upset he can't entertain them the way he use to

 

[FUPA]

be jaden smiths father brehs.

 

[Edub]

It still made almost 4xs the budget though

People pay to see bad movies now a days breh...so box office can't correlate to quality.

be jaden smiths father brehs.

Sad, but some may consider that an indictment.

 

[Edub]

The earliest instance of him getting a mixed critical/audience reception (that I remember) was I Am Legend (because of the ending). Then it happened again with Hancock, another film with a mixed reception. When After Earth came out, it really became open season on him because of that film and his connection to Jaden.

Nah his first dud was Wild Wild West...shyt was bunk, I remember me and a bird I was wit at the time walked out extra early to smash...anyway, ever since then he's been on the slowest decline ever allowed by the movie industry...he still sell heavy though and Europe loves the dude. He's older, what's he supposed to do

 

[Geek Nasty]

I think it's the Scientology rumored connection. They're fair game in the media, espcially since Scientologyis supposed to preach gay revision therapy. Even Tom Cruise who's been hitting home runs for the past 10-15 years still gets shyt on.

 

[Thighmaster B]

He ruins classic songs with shytty rap remakes
He hasn't made a good movie in a decade
He keeps pushing his shytty no talent kids on us

And we are not supposed to shyt on him?
