Amusingly enough, it's probably because it's faithful to the comic book. Both the Men in Black and RIPD were originally indie buddy-cop comics with broadly similar themes.



Though I'm betting Ryan can deliver better deadpan comedy than Will Smith can.

I enjoy The Rock's action films. He's funny enough to deliver a witty line now and then, otherwise he's a more modern Ahnuld Replacement and serves well in that roll.

Erm am i watching the same trailer? It looks flipping GASH! It also somehow comes off as looking incredibly low budget despite obviously having tens of millions of dollars worth of CGI.

Comparing Ryan Reynolds to Will Smith is just pointless, Will smith is a fantastic actor. Ryan Reynolds has the permanent smirk of a rapist who's got off on a technicality and the comic timing of Tommy Wiseau. He's got sweet washboard abs though.

Will smith still acts like he is some incredibly tough gangster and plays that way.

Have you seen Men in Black or Independence day? He's just really charming and possesses a deft comic touch, not to mention his various plaudits for more serious roles. Are you sure you aren't confusing him for Ice Cube? That's pretty racist dude.

Srsly tho,

Bad Boys I+II are seriously sucky and if that's your experience of Smith i can see where you're coming from.

When he was supposed to act like that, Yeah he was good, But he is horrible in drama.

So they're basically taking Dead Like Me and turning it into an action flick.

Whatever. I'd rather watch Ellen Muth than Ryan Renolds.

Now Breo has a point I definitely agree with, more Dead Like Me is a 100% good thing.

Gash is bad.
Well..
It means something else but it's easier to say it just means bad... also cleaner to say as well...
