Since the "Harry Potter" series became popular and Warner made a lot of money, major film companies, including Warner themselves, have spared no effort in seeking new blockbuster movies, but most of them are unfinished and rarely successful. By. I didn’t know much about the "Owl Kingdom" before, and only based on the Warner logo and the owl figure, I thought it was a Harry Potter biography developed by Warner. After all, Harry Potter's white owl pet Hyde Wei is impressive.
A story about owls does not overlap with real life, so it is very challenging for the audience to establish the worldview of the film in the story: too fast will cause cognitive difficulties, too slow will cause drowsiness. Unfortunately, during the whole viewing process, the progress of the story is still slightly slower.
In fact, in the process of establishing a worldview, the director chose a more stable method, starting from a story told by a father to a child, and gradually evolved into a legend. But perhaps the director is too conservative. When it comes to narratives involving history, the progress is often slow, and when it comes to adventure, it is too introverted and does not express directly. This kind of too adult storytelling method is still too indirect, and the overall feeling is that it is not. awesome. But the signature violent slow-motion shots in "300 Spartan Warriors" are always intimate, and the owls have a special charm.
The indirectness of the film also brings a very negative impact. Although the role of each owl in the small team is clearly defined in the film, there is no more in-depth description except for the details. The director intentionally or unintentionally omitted this one. Personally, I feel quite regretful that I can write a lot about it.
Such series of films often dig a big pit at the end, and irresponsibly ask the audience to "please listen to the next breakdown if you want to know what is going on". Although there are no lack of such small actions in this film, but in general, it just stays. In the small button stage, it does not have much impact on the overall end of the film story. If the film is commercially weak and the follow-up is hopeless, it will not harm the audience. For this alone, the filmmakers are still quite kind and worthy of tribute.
