You set the bar pretty low, counselor: “Not terrible.”

Last year: Aladdin. It is not amazing, but it is not terrible. A reasonable remake.
2017: Bright. Fun movie with some good action sequences.
2015: Concussion. Well done.
2013: Men in Black 3. Fun, with some really good scenes.

Nope. Sorry. MIB3 and Bright were both terrible. I admit i didn’t see concussion. And while Aladdin was not terrible, he was terrible in it.
 
This is not the same use Of the word as the record industry. This is the traditional meaning. “I dropped two large at the craps table.” (I removed it from my own wallet and no longer have it. I dropped it.)

True... in this case it's the traditional meaning.

I just venting about how this word can be used for both adding or removing things.

Google does "feature drops" and it frustrates me every time I read an article about it! :p

Fuqua has done some decent work, and of course, the absolutely brilliant Training Day (that we just recently rewatched). Smith can be terrific, Ali, The Pursuit Of Happyness, showed he's got some acting chops, he can be charming and funny (MIB, Bad Boys), and mix that up with decent action - or even do a great job with some silly, but super fun scifi like ID4. I'm cautiously, very optimistic :)
 
I Am Legend was the last Smith film I remember liking. I didn't even make it far enough into Aladdin to see his genie performance.

I've enjoyed all Will Smith's movies, for different reasons (Aladdin being an exception, but that wasn't his fault).

He can do drama, comedy, action, all of it.

I agree, lately his star is fading, but such is (Once Upon a Time in) Hollywood. ;)

I though the last Bad Boys was decent though, and I did enjoy Gemini Man (my son did not, but he makes movies so he's a bit of a film snob :p)

To me, movies are like food. I'll never know if I like it until I taste it, and I never know if my taste buds will go with the crowd.

I hate how everyone is using the word "drops" this way.

I know it was popularized by the music industry as in an artist "drops" a new album.

But to me the word "drops" means "removed"


Thought the exact same thing, came here to read about why it was cancelled haha
