Why is that, Vic? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (Someone's gotta ask!)
I seem to recall something about 10 years ago - an interview or article maybe - where Will Smith said some craziness about how AIDs was created by white people to kill off the black race - some real interesting ridiculous views on something... I remember boycotting him for a while after that, and Its been a long time...

Nothing like that. I just don't care for him. I enjoy many actors and artists who hold views I disagree with, like Tom Cruise. Will Smith just annoys me.

I share your philosophy on that - I didn't get too worked up over the Mel Gibson stuff, or Cruise.
My wife and I watch old re-runs of The Fresh Prince w/ Will Smith all the time - he's come a long ways since then!

I gotta admit I'm not a big Will Smith fan, and he definitely wouldn't have been my first choice for the movie, but I love the story so I had to go see it.
I didn't care much for the Wild Wild West remake, that Will was in, but I've always enjoyed ID4, he's not really the star in that one though, just one of them.

I liked the movie, but I saw an interview with Smith after I saw the movie and thought WOW he is an idot! But the movie didn't suck at all. I give it a 3.5 out of 5

It was, without a doubt, one of my favorite 'new' movies of all time. The original Omega Man is one of my all-time top five, or so. I enjoyed the nods to the Omega Man, as well as the credit gibven to the writers of the Omega Man script. Did I mention that I loved the film? We saw it opening night, and the audience was mostly kids. When it was over, maybe half the audeince gave it a standing ovation. The kid behind me said it was the best film he ever saw. My main problem? .223 on deer? Come on, guns are free, at his point in time. Where was the socom II? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My Wife dug it, a lot.
I must admit, I was not looking forward to seeing Will. Arnold had been 'cast' when they first started the script, maybe 15 years ago. I had been waiting for the film all this time. When he was attached to the project, I just couldnt see him filling Heston's shoes. To give him credit, he pulled it off.
My rating? 6 out of 5.

i can see carrying an M4 around. plenty of them and plenty of ammo available. but with badguys lurking in the shadows, i think i would have carried the SAW. there was a glimpse of one in his gun locker.
