The poor writing made Smith's acting horrendous. A decent actor can elevate the material, but to a point. This movie is cringe worthy, not even laughably bad.

Listen, you saw the trailer, you know what this is. It's not winning any awards (maybe however they made Will Smith the fresh prince again)

If you take it for the campy action flick it is. You'll enjoy it. Decent fight scenes. Fun motorbike chase.

If you are looking for "high film" this isn't that.The plot has a few holes, but most action films do.

Sure the script needs some help, but let me tell you Smith does an absolute great job at being Junior. Honestly, he evokes emotion and na?veté so well and since the VFX is actually well done (90% of the time) you actually sense the humanity in this CG character (mainly because of Smith's performance). Winstead and Wong are solid co-stars. Each bringing their own thing to the table. Kinda felt like they could've been utilized better (including Smith), but I'm chalking that up to the script too. Smith really does shine twice, but the script really doesn't help elevate the concept. But besides the script being the problem. The action sequences were good, cinematography was cool, the interaction between Junior and Winstead and older Smith was entertaining. There's a few lines that Junior says to Winstead that made me laugh out loud. He's not the young wisecracking Smith, but he's this naive and almost innocent, yet confident Smith that makes the delivery that much better. Sure there are a few gripes and small issues, but it was overall fairly entertaining. I'd check it out. I saw it in 3D 60fps and it actually looked really good since it was shot in 3D. Probably not necessary, but I'll be seeing it in 2D 24fps to see if it helped or hurt it.
