Seven Pounds

Pros: Touching tale, clever screenplay
Cons: Drags a little in the second half

While Will Smith has been racking up $20 million a movie in recent times, I’ve been more inclined to avoid them. With the exception of his portrayal of Mohammed Ali in 2001, I don’t feel that he’s done anything to justify his bloated ...

Pros: Some good acting
Cons: One of the flat-out worst plots I've seen in years

One common trick filmmakers use is to withhold information, in order to give the film more drive or suspense or meaning.  And even though it's a gimmick, sometimes it works.  It may not be the most vital thing in the plot being hidden, but it ...

Pros: A beautiful story, with a wonderful message and terrific performances.
Cons: Unravels extremely slowly.

It moved so slowly at first, I nearly turned it off.  But I'm glad I stuck with it, as I ended up really enjoying it.  And now that it's over, and as I continue to think about it, I find myself liking it more and more.  I'm referring to ...

Pros: Great theme, Adequate acting and plot revelation
Cons: Obvious characters and story, PACING, Formulaic execution

Will Smith is regularly regarded as a great actor, a significant box office draw and a generally decent guy. Fans of movies can count on Will Smith for two things nowadays: a summer blockbuster and a Christmas drama. We had "Hancock" (reviewed at: ...

Pros: Cast, characters, intriguing story
Cons: Weird plot elements, too sentimental for some

Will Smith stars as a depressed IRS man (and former rocket scientist. No, really!) who interferes in the lives of seemingly unrelated strangers, even striking up a relationship with one client he is investigating, a beautiful young woman with a failing ...

Pros: A great movie to watch with someone you love.
Cons: Bad wig alert!!!!

Seven Pounds (2008) is a beautiful acutely affecting movie that you don't want to miss.  I had heard some bad buzz about this film being too slow and overly confusing but it just wasn't true.  I thought they way the story was cut together made ...

Pros: Original idea, Will Smith did a great job.
Cons: Could have been directed better.

Seven Pounds cast includes Will Smith, Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson. Written by Grant Nieporte and directed by Gabriele Muccino, it was released in December 2008. The title of the film created alot curiousity as it does not ...

Pros: A true classic that forces you to truly look at your life.
Cons: That it ended

I will NOT give any spoiler info. I want to make sure that if you purchase this movie I will not ruin the movie. My wife and I were excited to see Seven Pounds, we rented it and sat down with the family and gleefully put the DVD in. The beginning ...

Pros: A quality movie, well thought out.
Cons: I thought Barry Pepper was wrongly cast.

I am of late becoming a Will Smith fan. Although I liked his earlier movies like men in black, and independance day I was still seeing a little of the fresh prince era. I have seen his more recent movies like I am legend, and the persuit of happiness of ...

Pros: Gives you every emotion and is a good sad story.
Cons: You don't find out the point until the very end

This movie had me sucked in. This character Ben Thomas seems to truely care about people as he watches them from a distance but he is mean to people when he confronts them so it had me totally puzzled on what was going on but drew me in. Of course you don't find out what he's doing till half way through the movie and then it all makes sense. After I saw My Sisters Keeper, me and all my girlfriends were in the mood for crying so I told them they had to watch this movie. Only one of my friends and I cried although the others were choked up but we watched it in the middle of the day whereas the first time I watched it at night which I think helped. I also used to text before this movie while I was driving but something hit me after watching this that real accidents occur this way and I have not texted while driving since. Overall, I would give this movie an 8 out of 10 or an A-. If you like Will Smith, this is a good performance from him as well.
