Bright Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Bright uses barely developed magical elements to tell a barely developed story about racism and prejudice in America. On both fronts, it fails.
Newsweek
Emily Gaudette
... the movie delivers a unique if imperfect two-hour distraction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Bright is basically a tired buddy-cop movie dressed up in bizarre trappings.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
Ironically, it's exactly the kind of Z-grade blockbuster that people would typically describe by saying 'Eh, just wait and watch it on Netflix.'
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Bright is a bloated, expensive mess, a Netflix movie with blockbuster aspirations and faerie-sized brains.
The Daily Beast
Karen Han
Bright plays like the kind of movie a kid might make up ("And then this happens! And then this happens!") if they were given a very rough overview of American history and then told to write a script about it.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Finally, high fantasy for the sunglasses-on-the-back-of-the-head set.
Uproxx
Amy Nicholson
You can't spell "law force" without "orc." And you can't spell "David Ayer's twelfth cop movie??" without "Why develop? Is it a dare?"
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
An absolute mess.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
In the end, Bright pulls off the uncommon (and not at all admirable) hat trick of being confusing, boring, and vaguely insulting about the matters it wants to appear smart on.
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
Bills itself as part buddy-cop movie, part lavish fantasy, does neither justice, resulting in lazy nonsense that's too silly to be good and too self-serious to be any fun.
NPR
Chris Klimek
Critics have already lined up to pillory Bright as among the year's worst releases. Don't believe the clickbait.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Bright has some merit, especially if you're into magic wands, explosions, gun fights and Will Smith, but perhaps the most disappointing thing about the film is that it could have been so much more.
Boston Globe
Isaac Feldberg
... ultimately "Bright" simply lacks the screenwriting smarts to capitalize on the social commentary in its setup that it so nakedly attempts to harness.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
This is what it looks like when good ideas go bad. A sequel, naturally, has already been greenlit. Go orc yourself, Hollywood.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
A welter of dissonant intentions, the film fails to seamlessly intertwine its elements of realism and fantasy.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Dungeons and Dragons-style fantasy, with its species-specific stats and attributes, is a pretty suspect well to draw from if you're trying to pull off some kind of modern-day race relations metaphor.
New York Times
Andy Webster
The result is a loud, ungainly hybrid that does not serve police procedurals or fantasy spectaculars very well.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
Bright takes a bunch of gobbledygook from The Lord of the Rings, liquefies it in a blender and pours it liberally over the same "corrupt cop comes to a moral crossroads" blueprint that Ayer has been copying since Training Day.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Potentially a dark harbinger of things to come, Bright isn't only the worst film of 2017, it could be responsible for many of the worst films of 2018 and beyond.
