	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Bright' is the best Netflix original movie to date, and it absolutely deserves to be seen on the big screen (...) Ambitious, yet astonishingly well-executed"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The worst movie of 2017 (...) A movie that's part 'Training Day', part 'Lord of the Rings', and all miserable (...) There’s boring, there’s bad, and then there’s 'Bright' (...) Profoundly awful"	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A genre mashup awkward enough to make 'Cowboys & Aliens' look like a stroke of genius (...) 'Bright' spends less time imagining its world than it does having people bicker in all-too-familiar ways"	NEG
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Congratulations, Netflix! You can make a visually grotesque, dreadfully dull and hopelessly convoluted would-be franchise action movie just as well as the stereotypical Hollywood machine!"	NEG
United States	Jordan Hoffman Vanity Fair	"As loud and dumb as 'Suicide Squad' (...) This movie is an absolute wreck (...) A disaster like this (...) is not likely to gain Netflix the mainstream film-industry acceptance it craves."	NEG
United States	David Griffin IGN	"Will Smith and Joel Edgerton are a compelling duo I’d love to see again in a sequel (...) A fun ride"	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"A dreadful, misguided, ridiculous idea (...) At least in this form and execution (...) [It] should come with a glossary of terms or a graphic novel to unmuddle itself"	NEG
United States	Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"Even star’s irrepressible charisma can’t compete with muddy production design, poorly-conceived characters and a profoundly stupid racial metaphor"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Ultimately, the biggest problem with 'Bright' is that it squeezes nudity, profanity and blood into the kind of dopey adventure that should be aimed more at adolescents - right down to its simplistic lessons about tolerance."	NEG
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"For all its flaws, 'Bright' is still a headlong leap into a bracingly different new world. Cinema could do with more of that (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"[An] overcooked genre mash-up (...) [It] feels like the non-brainwave of a random plot generator (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
