Never heard anyone call him a GOAT so I'ma say properly rated as a very good actor but his filmography is mediocre compared to other dudes.

He super limited in range.

Also Pursuit is only ok. Same with I Am Legend
 
I am legend/hitch/purusit of happyness was peak will smith imo. When that comes after his biggest roles than i would say he is properly rated legend.
 
He was nominated for an oscar 2x

Once as Ali but lost to Denzel (training day)

Other time his Pursuit of Happiness role lost to Forrest Wittaker as Idi Amin


He gotta play a bad guy one time
 
Overrated.

I've been done with Super Will since Hancock.

Until he plays a villain or a true antagonist, I don't care with he does in film.
 
For everyone who wants Will Smith to change up the flow a lil bit mane...

Do you think he could be believable in an “Denzel training day” type role? I’m just using that as a benchmark because I’ve seen it brought up as to why he’s not as revered as the goat.
 
I think its proper. Dude has a really good range. He can be hilarious, can hit you right in the feels, can be intimidating. Mostly picks great roles to appear in. Definitely has his share of duds, but for the most part i enjoy the films hes in.
 
I don't think Will reached his full potential because of some of the movies he chose. I can not properly rate him, but he is not on the level of Denzel and Sam.
 
Properly rated as an entertainment star. Hopefully the movie where he was supposed to play the Williams sisters’ dad doesn’t have any more issues and comes out right cuz that could really change how I’ve viewed his acting recently. I haven’t been a fan of most his movies lately but he’s still a blockbuster star and better actor than most but no Denzel. I think Jamie foxx might be a better actor maybe. Will chooses movies like Nas picks beats kind of. Ali is probably his best acting and movie. Bad boys is peak will being will. Focus and six degrees are solid sleepers.
