I’ve been working my way through oscar actor nominees from the last ten years, and I ended up on
King Richard. Normally I don’t like watching Will Smith in straight movies, as he seems to just play himself. It’s will smith…in a suit. It’s will smith…fighting zombies, whatever. But he was pretty good in this. The 3rd act descends into the sport movie it was trying not to be, but the 1st and 2nd acts were pretty good.
The closing credits showing actual historical footage was pretty neat. It was impressive how accurately they got the actors and costumes to replicate the footage we were shown
