So apparently "After Earth" is incredible

[ImTheCaptain]

This. Absolute worst move I've ever paid money to watch. Not close.

Dinner for Schmucks was pretty fucking bad

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Is it worse than Wild Wild West? I paid money to see that.

that was satire bro, a commentary on the racism and sexism of the beloved western genre. You just gotta re-watch it with the directors commentary on.

Re dinner w schmucks That's just silly. It wasn't great but nowhere near the levels of these other shitpiles.

So apparently After Earth might just be one big dumb analogy for Scientology

I think that's the 3rd review I've read to make that claim.

I haven't done it yet, but D4S was the first film i almost walked out of. The Happening was really stupid but never approached that level for me.

I bet it will still make money. Will Smith + crappy scifi premise = profit.

Independence Day $817 million
Men in Black $587 million
Men in Black II $441 million
I, Robot $348 million
I Am Legend $585 million
Hancock $624 million
Men in Black III $624 million
(gross box office)

Check it.

So who's gonna be the first Pit poster to go see this? Please report back with all the gruesome details.

Will Smith just killed it on Kimmel's pregame show. He's got to get back to comedy.

Slapping MWP in the face was awesome.

He's funny in real life. He's not funny in movies - not anymore anyway. He can't pick a script to save his life.

 

[DeacHead]

Especially when he helped write it.

Smith's record is pretty clean - only this and WWW are terrible. Shyamalan's track record is cover-your-eyes awful. And if the three sequels do well (and I'm not even gonna lie: I'll be first in line to see BB3) we'll totally forget about this one. The guy is made of Teflon (and I say that as someone who likes him).

 

[GoDeacsGo]

Clicked on this thread fully expecting the first post to be "ly bad"

 

[BostonDeac]

apparently it is doing pretty well overseas, still terrible in the states though

 

[TownieDeac]

@azizansari: Will Smith tried to warn us about the NSA in Enemy of the State, and now we mock Jaden in After Earth? #WhenWillWeLearn

 

[MagicDeac]

He should have won an Oscar for Six Degrees of Separation.

Truth.

 

[greekdeac2011]

He's a great actor - he just takes on the wrong kind of movies, like this one over D'Jango, etc.

And yeah, he needs to get back in to comedy and rapping
