- mickerdoo5d agoA masterclass from Smith and Bernthal. The girls felt really on, too. Incredible drive to a completed goal. Wish there had been more Serena.

- jackmeatAugust 29, 2025My quick rating - 7.4/10. Another Best Picture nominee for #Oscars2022, which you can check out on Amazon by clicking the poster below. Now halfway through the lineup this year, we have the story of the Williams sisters' grandiose after being coached by their father, Richard, played perfectly by Will Smith. He is also nominated for best actor and is very deserving. I found it a nice change of pace watching a biopic that deals with a subject I have grown up watching as well. If you weren't paying attention throughout on ESPN, Richard was a very overbearing father who basically decided that his two daughters were going to be the biggest stars in tennis. So he set out to personally train them to be good enough to then move on to professional training. But everything was always on his terms on how things happened, which led to hitting some humor at times, while other times drama. His eccentric ways were what defined his kids to become the superstars they are now. In a way, this almost let the door open for a sequel, not really for Richard Williams, but to continue the story as to what happened with Serena, since the main focus here is on Venus. The family interactions are all well filmed and completely believable throughout, which should entertain the masses, including those that really don't care about tennis. The story itself is very basic, so there aren't any twists and turns. Just a solid film about true human emotion that tells how these two superstars were raised, and might give some insight into how it all actually happened.
- HakihikoJune 21, 2025Driven and Inspiring "King Richard" delivers a compelling and heartfelt portrayal of determination, family, and the pursuit of greatness. Centered around Richard Williams, the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, the film manages to inspire without becoming overly sentimental. Will Smith offers a powerful and layered performance, capturing both Richard's fierce ambition and his deeply rooted love for his daughters. The film does a great job highlighting the challenges the family faced and the unshakeable belief Richard had in his unconventional plan. The pacing works well, the cinematography is solid, and the emotional moments hit with genuine impact. It's not just a sports biopic-it's a story about resilience, vision, and support. Overall, "King Richard" is an engaging and motivational film that shines thanks to its performances and strong direction.
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025It takes a lot of fire and dedication to be the best. "King Richard" shows that commitment to excellence inspired by a sports dad. Will Smith, as Richard Williams, delivers a formidable performance that makes the film worth watching.
