This is a Will Smith film with a difference, it is not very good, usually I like his films but this one was ratherl and uninspiring to be honest. Norly most of the films he does are entertaining and good value however this one is no where near his normal quality of work. In the film Will Smith stars as Ben Thomas and at the start of the ...  Read the complete review

Seven Pounds released in 2008, stars Will Smith as the lead character (Tim Thomas) and follows the story of how he sets out to change the lives of seven strangers. It is quite hard not give the story away whilst trying to give a honest review of the film so I have stuck to the basics, but if you have seen the advertisements and trailers ...  Read the complete review

This has to be in my top three favourite movies of all time. I honestly thought it was that good. I knew very little about this film before it started, and what I did think I knew was totally incorrect anyway. I thought it was about a man dying of cancer who was going to give all his organs away, so for the first ten minutes of the film to say I ...  Read the complete review

"In seven days, God created the world. And in seven seconds, I shattered mine" Will Smith has come a long way since signing up with American TV Network NBC in 1990 to star in the much-loved sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

I had really wanted to see this film as the trailers made it look intriguing but as I am not a cinema person and I refused to pay full price on DVD for it I waited patiently and finally got it for just £5 on Friday! I am so glad that I finally managed to see it as it really was much better than I was expecting. Will Smith plays the ...  Read the complete review

I have had this on my Lovefilm list for a long time for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I've loved lots of the stuff that Will Smith has done, he is a really accomplished and versatile actor. Secondly, I was completely intrigued by the trailer which didn't give a lot away about the film other than his character having gifts to give and having ...  Read the complete review

I had read some mixed reviews about Seven Pounds, but being a big fan of Will Smith, I thought that I would get the DVD anyway and form my own opinion. I am very glad that I did because both me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the film although it was not obvious that we were going to at first. It's a bit difficult at first to work out ...  Read the complete review

I cannot think of a worse film starring Will Smith that I have ever seen and this was such a disappointment as usually he is the sort of star that can turn an average film into a good one however even he could not save this film. Smith stars as Ben Thomas and the film opens with him phoning the emergency services to report his own ...  Read the complete review

I don't know what I honestly was expecting from this film as the trailers didn't seem to tell me much about the plot itself but I was expecting a lot more than this pile of guano poo. Okay, I might be overreacting here but I didn't really see any redeeming features or qualities that stood out from any other films. It was meant to be a ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film last night as it arrived from my lovefilm rental list, the reason I had put it on my list was that I had seen Will Smith promoting the film in a variety of interviews which made it seem like a very interesting concept. Also, I have a newfound respect for Smith after seeing him in The Pursuit of Happyness and I Am Legend and ...  Read the complete review

I actually watched this on Bluray and luckily I didn't buy it. So I'll quickly run through the confusing plot. An IRS agent called Ben helps seven strangers that he thinks are good people. The reason for this is that whilst texting on his phone he crashed killing his girlfriend/fiancé and seven other strangers that were in a people ...  Read the complete review

Another great film starring Will Smith. I am a big fan of him and he didnt cease to let me down with this film. I was a bit unsure of what was going on at first so you need to take care in paying attention. After 30 minutes i was stuck to my chair and did not say a word through the rest of it. I saw this at the cinema and ...  Read the complete review

Fortunately I already had a few different titles in mind so was able to pop in and out quite quickly, forsaking my usual dithering over what to go for. I chose 'Seven Pounds' as my first title because I'd been recommended it numerous times by numerous people with reasonably ...  Read the complete review
