Bright is Urban Fantasy, which is a rather rare genre for feature length films. It's not a great movie but it's a lot better than you'd think if you just listen to critics.

Bright was a truly horrendous movie. Everything about it was terrible. The writing was beyond bad, the performances were weak, even Will Smith was just a bad R-rated version of previous performances. One of the worst movies I have seen in a few years.

  Like objectively it’s a bad movie but my inner shadowrun playing 15 year old loved it.

I respectfully disagree. I love both urban fantasy and Shadowrun and was really looking forward to the movie as it should have been practically made for me. And I found it unredeemably terrible.

It was Shadowrun lite, which is awesome. Now that they have a movie that rates well with normies, they can go deeper and expand (and probably even make a series out of it). A lot of settings that are actually interesting only really work as long-form episodes--Babylon 5 or Angel for example would've been a garbage movie. Bright was essentially a large pilot. I'd be really interested in seeing what the production side of the house is learning.

  why? Shadowrun was garbage too. Go back and read the novels some time. There's a reason why Shadowrun consistently failed to get an audience throughout its entire lifetime, even back in FASA days.
