Gettin Jiggy With it....

Ok, call me incredibly lame for the title..Yeah it is pretty damn bad. But I must leave the title up, for I speak of the man they call Big Willy. Yes, today I have to touch upon Will Smith, in particular, his acting in the movie Enemy of the State. Look, he's been in some good movies. I don't think anyone can take that away from him. But there's something about his acting style that really just makes me want to slap him and say, "No Will Smith, you stop that." What can I say, he gets on my freaking nerves. Now, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the film. The plot was fast moving, unpredictable, and definitely had me surprised at each twist and turn. And of course Gene Hackman, as always, was superb as the retired NSA agent who helps Smith's character get out of different jams he encounters. Honestly, the acting overall was good, and this was in my opinion Smith's most well-acted movie. Good, now that that's out of the way, I can rip on him. It's just that every time I see him act, I feel as if I am watching the same progression that I saw in his last movie. We have the joking Will Smith, that likes to have a little fun, but of course an upstanding guy. And then there is the Will Smith that goes into action, he doesn't take any shit, and he will probably have a freakout or too (if you are shaking your head saying WTF just watch I am Legend, Independence Day, or Men in Black). I'm getting a little carried away here I know, I just had to say something. He will have to prove he can be a dynamic actor before he gains more respect from me.
