      make fun of your mother B

      It is a miracle that this drama can pass the trial. Did Donnie Yen act in the whole process? Anyway, I can't see the acting skills at all, but I can't blame the actors. Zhang Zilin is so beautiful that she can be made into an infertile advertising model with special effects. The special effects are like a mixture of 20 student works by the teacher. How much shit do you have to think about the shape of the devil of the world? Is it because there is a ready-made model in the software, so it is...

      a bit noisy

      Sitting in a cinema in Shaoyang City, I feel like I am in a vegetable market. The surrounding adults and children made me feel dazed for a while. There was also a lot of noise on the screen, which forced me to focus on the goodness of the movie.

      The idea of ​​the film is to add a lot of modern elements to the old story. Seeing the shadow of Hollywood, how ugly the followers of the Bull Demon King are, it is all due to the imitation of "The Lord of the Rings"; Sun Wukong also imitates...

      Subversion and weakening of the theme

      As a Lunar New Year film, Havoc in Heaven has assembled a super-strong cast, presented stunning special effects, and brought an ancient magical story back to the screen, which is quite a feat. In today's fast-paced society, magic is the most breathtaking thing for the audience. Also the most popular. However, Chinese fantasy movies are not as down-to-earth as foreign Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Not long ago, if Di Renjie's god, the Dragon King, was placed in a magical background, it...

      Hello Wukong, Wukong is cheap.

      When I saw the trailer, I saw Lao Sun as the first choice movie area for the New Year. After all, this is the first live-action movie to put the famous episode of Havoc in Heaven on the big screen, and Donnie Yen only needs Body language without the need for expressions.

      The impression I got in 120 minutes was that I didn't seem to see any shots without special effects. It was a live-action movie with huge special effects, rather it was a 3D animation with real people inserted into...

      "Havoc in Heaven": subverting the classics in a Hollywood way

      If we can't create classics, we will subvert the classics. Yes or not, it can't change this is an era that lacks originality. It can subvert the classics, and sometimes it is like flattering the audience. It is not good to accidentally shoot on the horse's leg. Havoc in Heaven is an oriental mythology movie that uses subversive methods and special effects to attract money in the Spring Festival stalls with overwhelming entertainment demand.

        In recent years, there have been more and...

      In fact, you don't deserve one star, but I like that line very much - Sun Wukong said to Erlang Shen: I have wanted to intervene in you for a long time! Well, director Zheng Baorui, the movie is like this, and he still has the face to say that Zhou Xingchi's "Conquering the Devil" is too subversive, isn't he afraid of being inserted for a long...

      Wukong said to his master, "It's cold in the sky, fly around and wear more clothes", and the final battle of the King Kong Balrog... The lines and special effects are all thunderous points. The screenwriter is clever but mistaken, and wants to use postmodern jokes to package classics , it turned out to be a lump of mud, and the plot could not be stretched at all, just like watching the "Journey to the West" version of "Su Qi'er", a completely bad...

      The shape design of the five thunders is very angry and funny. The little brother of the Bull Demon King probably came from the Burning Legion or the Walking Dead. It must be more and more inconsistent. The Huaguo Mountain is stronger. There is an extra actor wearing After wearing a panda headgear, he came out to act as a monster. Does Nima still have a field manager to take care of...

    Evaluation action

    The film deliberately designed a lot of pictures of traveling and advancing in the clouds. The feeling of flying in the sky undoubtedly strengthens the audience's new experience. The sense of design and completion are good, and it has a completely different taste from Western-style magic movies. Some local adjustments have been made on the premise of maintaining the main line of the original work. The biggest change is the...
