Have not seen the movie, but it looked pretty predictable, which is what I heard was a problem with the movie. Here's my best guest.

Will Smith is an assassin for the government, he tries to quit, they try to kill him. While he's running away he gets chased by another elite assassin. Turns out the assassin is a younger version of himself. Will Smith's old assassin friend who moved up the chain stole his DNA and created a younger version of their best assassin, I'm going to guess he "adopted" the clone and his is father. Will Smith struggles with killing himself. For whatever reason Will Smith has a HBB as a former girlfriend assassin. Will Smith manages to turn his younger self against his dad and join up with him. The Clone has the chance to kill his dad for lying to him, but Will Smith will be like nah, no more killing for you, you have to live the life I never had. Will and his HBB raise the kid as their own. The end.

No because he makes very bubble gum easy to watch and understand movies marketed to dumb people that dont want to watch multiple artistic angles taking place in the same story.
I don't know why but I was flipping channels years back when Harrison Ford was doing that last awful Indy movie, both were on some Nickelodeon award fukery or something, and Will Smith introduced Harrison Ford and got his name wrong, called him Woody Harrilson.

I hadn't been paying real close attention, was probably gaming with the TV on as backnoise, but I stopped and paid attention to that. I just found it so incredibly offensive and felt bad for Harrison Ford, being an old guy and having to do with stupid kid's show chit and then having this young jackass like Will Smith, whose career will never rival Harrison Ford's, probably intentionally disrespect him like that.

Never liked him after that and prior his schtick kind of wore thin with me, around the time of Wild Wild West and all the racist jokes in that one, I was kind of done with the guy.

I've seen the trailers for Gemini Man and I figured it'd do poorly. Here's the thing: When you are watching a movie and you know Tom Cruise actually did the stunts and Tom Cruise does some fuked up **** like hang on the side of an airplane taking off -- THAT is intense and gets your attention. However, when you watch a CGI de-aged Will Smith shoot a CGI grenade out of the air and bounce it around like a game of pool to do ridiculously impossibly computer-generated "bad ass" things, you don't ****ing care. Who gives a fuk. It's CGI, most CGI programers/developers nowadays don't understand physics or gravity well and it all just looks fake and unimpressive.

Gemini Man looked like a fake CGI mess with non-stop this old guy who is in real life a primadonna cuck. Not for me.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

I'm gonna be honest. I thought he did a good job as the genie in the new Aladdin.

Obviously not as good as the GOAT Robin Williams, but it wasn't the disaster I anticipated and I actually enjoyed him in it.

So Aladdin was a good movie then? How does it compare to the animated original?

Not as good obviously, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Aladdin brah is good, Jasmin is hnnnnnng, and Will Smith brings some lulz. Most of the changes work ok. Jafar was the biggest miss. Not sure what in the hell they were thinking there.

7/10. Would watch again.

It was a cool concept but honestly the trailer looked janky. Uncanny valley on both the young will smith and all the stunts.

He spent too much time in the media spotlight (not movie related) and so when a movie was released, I just viewed it as "just another Will Smith thing". Had he stayed out of the spotlight and not try to Dwayne Johnson motivational speak everything, people would've been like "oh hey he's releasing a movie!!".

Movies just suck in general these days. I’m sure joker is good, but other than that there hasn’t been a good movie in the last few years.

No one seems to be bringing up focus. That movie was the most similar to his better movies in the 90’s, 00’s. Not a masterpiece by any means, but he played his character well, it was entertaining, and you’ve got Margot Robbie in her prime.

He's like a 50 year old woman that is still trying to stay relevant

The guy has done all sorts of movies in the past decade and all have flopped big time. This should be a sign that its time to give up on acting.

Especially the stunts where he acts like a straight male and enjoying fukking a HBB.

And I actually love Tom Cruise movies, except The Mummy one, that was absolute horsechit. Can't wait for the new Top Gun.

Yeah they blamed After Earth on him like it wasn't his terrible-acting son that completely ruined what could have been an awesome movie.
