June 8, 201312 yr Member Movie had to be at least 9 hours long!!!!! Great concept, but Will Smith has got to stop casting himself in movies where acting is required. And he and Jada were all over the production/creative process of the movie. Hell, even some of Jada's relatives had a piece in it. Too bad because it could have been a winner! The action is strictly limited to the trailer, so do yourself a favor and go on over to YT and watch it a few times. You're welcome!!!!!

I never saw BE, and I wouldn't be able to compare anyhow as all of my energy was used trying to stay awake. However, not sure what some have against the Smith family outside of their casting choices in projects. They are a family business just like any other family in Hollywood.
June 8, 201312 yr Member I think it's some of the same complaints some had about Tom Cruise before his big meltdown. Just sort of looking down on high, not connecting well with the public. Battlefield Earth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(film)

I still love Will, but he sort of lost me when he said he turned down Django Unchained because he wasn't the lead. Well, maybe he should have done Django instead of after Earth. A lot of people seem to have a problem with him casting Jaden in this movie.
