Enjoyed it! Went in with low expectations based on less-then-glowing reviews which perhaps helped but regardless.... two teen girls absolutely loved it, nice movie for family. Only big disapointment was Charlize Theron who I haven't seen for such a long time and this role was less then... meaty.

I enjoyed it too. I didn't know what to expect, the trailers didn't look that inviting, but I liked it in the end. Not quite Big Willy Weekend material but very watchable all the same.

I didn't like the downer part near the end. And the twist was telegraphed the first time he & she locked eyes (too much time spent on that).
Peter Berg used too much panning around in circles for stomach comfort. And repeated eye contact in more than one scene between him & her - too obvious.
But over all, interesting concept.
My dad was an extra in the scene on Hollywood Blvd during the big fight, when she lifted the big truck. He said that took 3 days to film. He is one of 500 extras on that set.

very cool about your dad Kona!

I agree about the downer and I also figured something was up early in the movie.

they should advertise this as a drama with little comedy...I went in thinking it was comedy with little drama...I think that is why it got some bad reviews.

Could have been better but still a enjoyable. I see a part 2 if this makes money

All the original previews made it look like a comedy then about a week before it opened the ads changed... they were much darker and dramatic, not a single drop of humour.

All the components were there for a great movie but it was like they (the writers, director and Theron) were just putting in the time and had something more important to get to. LOL I would go see a sequel in a second though, hard to find movies that will entertain dh and I as well as our teen dds these days.

You guys are giving it better reviews than the critics did. It must be pretty good! Plus Will Smith is such an incredible draw at the theater.

I agree, I cant remember a Will Smith movie I hated. I am not a fan of MIB, not sure why but if it's on and DH is watching I will still sit and watch, I have adored Will since Fresh Prince

I liked it. I am not a fan of the typical Batman/super hero movies. I thought Will Smith was good and it was funny.

Hmm, now I'm on the fence, haha. I had no intention of seeing this, but I think you all might have changed my mind...

I remember when I had DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's album that had "Parent's just don't understand"

I loved that song. I've been a Will Smith fan for a loooong time.

I can't say I liked or disliked it. What I did not like and dd agrees - the filming.... hard to watch - felt roller coastery - story - not so great - kinda in the same vein of writers as for I AM Legend.... Walked out not quite feeling satisfied - but if it were on tv on a winter Saturday afternoon - I'd watch it

I liked it. Yes the whole explanation about the super powers was weird and rushed. But I adore Will Smith and it was fun seeing him as unlikeable, yet still so enjoyable! I also loved Jason Bateman's character and his sunny, positive outlook. It was a fun movie!
