While the film gathers reviews and earnings from ticket sales, Will Smith is promoting the movie quite vigorously. Appearing in several interviews and promotional events, Smith is indeed trying to make good with people after the 2022 Oscar slap incident.

Will Smith Names 2 Movies That Were Most Fun For Him

Starring in a plethora of interviews and events, Will Smith was naturally bombarded with a ton of questions about the actor’s personal as well as his professional life. With Smith having an extensive career in Hollywood, he has had several great movies to his name.

From films like The Pursuit of Happyness to Men in Black, Smith has done action, comedy, as well as, emotional films. In a recent interview with IndieWire, Smith sat for a little chat about his favorite movies and the ones that he loved working on.

While talking about the extensive filmography that Smith has done over the years, the topic of ‘most fun on set’ came up. In his answer, the Men in Black actor named two movies that were the most fun to work on, and surprisingly, none of them were Suicide Squad!

I think among the most fun I’ve ever had making a movie is like ‘Bad Boys’ and ‘Aladdin’ like just the most fun

Naturally, director Michael Bay and Guy Ritchie are quite fun to work with, but the action and comedy flicks do seem to showcase Will Smith’s unchecked creativity. On the other hand, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was also supposed to be a fun movie but why Smith did not include the film in the list, remains a mystery.

With the most fun that he had on Bad Boys and Aladdin, Will Smith also went down a little further in the memory lane. While talking about the best films that he has ever starred in, Smith had four answers and people seem to agree with his choice.

I think the individual best movie, all around, that I’ve ever made is ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’. Right behind that is the first ‘Men In Black.’ The direction, cinematography, and music…

He further continued,

If I had to put four of them in a time capsule it would be ‘The Pursuit of Happyness,’ the first ‘Men In Black,’ ‘I Am Legend,’ and probably ‘King Richard.’

On the other hand, Bad Boys: Ride or Die was recently released and the reviews are finally here. As Dyatlov said in the first episode of Chernobyl, Bad Boys 4 is “Not great, not terrible”, we also think that the film is average.

To back our claims, here’s some data. Bad Boys: Ride of Ride received a rating of 6.8/10 on IMDB and 66% on Rotten Tomatoes upon its release. To check our full review, click on this green word here.
