Just saw it tonight (can't beat free advanced screening + $10 giftcard), and i thought it was quite good! 9/10! Beginning was hilarious lol, whole theater was cracking up.

Ending got a little lovey dovey, but it wasn't too bad...definitely threw a twist in the middle

Well worth seeing! Definitely suggest it

Good job! (Y)

yea they kept on changing her hair style and eye shadow / makeup. was kind of distracting

i give the movie a 7/10, a perfect ten being so amazing i'm left speechless

it's definitely not his best work, but keep in mind you shouldn't be expecting an oscar winning movie. ALL of his 4th of July movies are supposed to be fun movies with a little bit of "food for thought"; and that's exactly what he delivered. lots of humor + great acting = this movie being a success

another awesome 4th of July weekend movie for sure (Y) and as always, i look forward to next years :D

Yeah, going to see this on Monday, sounds like it's gonna be a good watch, thanks for the review. Although I am looking forward to Dark Knight... Seems they got somewhat out of the boring and horrible Summer release schedule they're used to.

It was alright, nothing special. The opening sequence was the best and there was a part in the story that made you say "Oh snap" but other than that it was alright. Will Smith was the star though, especially what he did with that french kid, and of course those two prison mates :p .

I liked it quite a bit, but it felt like the story was far too packed in and was left practically unexplained at the end. If they make a sequel, which I wouldn't mind at all, I just hope they kind of explain things a little better.

Otherwise, it was very entertaining and funny.

8/10

I saw this yesterday and thought it was awesome. I love Will Smith and pretty much anything he's in. I kinda dig their backstory also. An immortal clan with super powers! Tell me more!

Jason Bateman was also great. I miss him from the great show once known as Arrested Development (in which I recently watched the whole series). And of course, Chalize Theron is smokin' hot.

      yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
