Will Smith


I have always been a big fan of Will Smith, but when i think about it, i'm not really sure why. I always really WANT to like all of his films, but a lot of times, i get disappointed with how the storyline ends up playing out. I think what i like about him is his spirit and friendliness on-screen--his ability to make you think 'man, what a cool guy. i would definitely hang out with Will.' But the truth is, a lot of the movies he does just end up declining towards the end. The most recent example i have of this is Hancock, which i just saw for the first time tonight. I thought that the plot had great potential, and Will started off really well (scratch that--he stayed consistent the entire time) but the storyline just went in a different--and more disappointing--direction than i expected.

Dont get me wrong--i still think he's totally awesome, and i dont think any of his movies are BAD per say, its just that i always feel a little bit let down. The circle that i end up falling into is getting really excited for the next thing he does and then being disappointed when he wasnt as awesome as i wanted him to be.
