Supporters are calling out biased reviews about Will Smith starrer Emancipation due to his Oscars Controversy.

After Oscar Drama, Fans Call Out ‘Extremely Bias’ Reviews of Will Smith Starrer &#8216;Emancipation&#8217;

Is the Oscar drama still overshadowing Will Smith? The actor made headlines for
all the wrong reasons despite winning an award this year. After an apology,
therapy, and months of introspection, Smith began coming back into the
limelight. The actor has not only been working on his PR but also promoting his
movie Emancipation.



The Apple TV+ project is the first movie that Smith released since his Oscar
drama. Amidst the criticism he has faced, making this movie successful is super
important. But there lies a question now. Will viewers be able to watch the
movie without being biased?


HOW BIASED REVIEWS FOR WILL SMITH STARRER EMANCIPATION ARE BEING CALLED OUT

For someone that did not want to do a slavery-based movie, Will Smith is working
hard to promote it. The Antoine Fuqua movie
[https://twitter.com/search?q=will%20smith%20emancipation%20review&src=typed_query&f=top]
cost around $120 million to make and has been a much-discussed movie. Although
it is mostly because people are wondering if Smith can make a comeback after all
the drama. A lot was at stake not only for him but also for everyone part of the
movie as they struggled to find a release date amidst the backlash for Smith.
Reviews for the movie have already started pouring all over social media. But it
seems like a lot of the reviews for the movie are biased.

Many don’t seem to be be done with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. As expected,
it is affecting the movie. Smith even touched on the topic once and said how his
mistakes should not cost the rest of the crew

who worked hard. While there are also supporters who are calling out such biased
reviews, one fan suggested how the release should have been postponed after the
Oscar scandal.

The movie is based on the photo of ‘Whipped Peter’ and is inspired by the real
story of slavery. So far, the drama has received rather mixed reviews, even
after filtering the biased ones.
