Near Perfect
One person wrote: "King Richard is a really good film, not great, but really good. Will Smith is excellent and wouldn't surprise me to see him getting a few acting nominations for this one. The world needs more like the Williams family."
Rotten Tomatoes Score
Another person wrote: "If King Richard doesn't win an Oscar I will hate this world even more than I already do right now... What a movie DAMN."
Glowing
One Twitter used announced: "King Richard is a reminder to those that needed reminding that Will Smith is one of if not THE actor of his generation. Sports movies are at their best when they're not really about sports at all, it's about what goes into it, the people, the sacrifice, the heart!"
Oscar Contender
One fan said: "King Richard – got to be up there with one of the best films I've seen. Venus and Serena really did and had it all… Their journey, coaching and above all, their dad Richard was so encapsulating to view."
Crowd Pleaser
One fan wrote: "Just seen King Richard. What an amazing film. Richard Williams predicted the rise of the sisters before they were even born. Awe inspiring movie..Excellent!!!"
True Movie Star
Another Twitter user said: "King Richard has a few scenes where Will Smith goes full on inspirational mode like in The Pursuit of Happyness. May as well give him the Oscar and make up for past mistakes (insane he lost it in 2007 Ryan Gosling was the only other worthy contender)."
Can't Dislike It
And this person wrote: "King Richard – surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I was worried that, given the Williams' sisters involvement – it would pull its punches with Richard, and tbf it did, but not as much as I expected it to. I have issues with the "American Dream" as it's neatly sold here...1."
