The story I want to tell comes from a contract in the kingdom of darkness. Johnny, a young speeding boy, signed a life-and-death contract with the devil in order to save his terminally ill father. Johnny, who grew up in contradictions and self-blame, has become the greatest speeding star because of the "favor" of the devil. He is omnipotent and invincible, and honor and love are close at hand. But the striking of the dark clock broke everything he had about humanity, and it was time to fulfill the contract. The Demon King wants Johnny to exterminate all the "chaotic demons" who have committed delusions in the demon world and redeem the life and death contract. Next, the show begins...
dazzling stunts, sultry beauties, simple plot, manga adaptation. It should be said that this is a movie with a low comprehensive index. Although the subject of supernatural horror has always been pleasing, it is also the most controversial. The imaginary world becomes simple because there is no reference, but people's boiling expectations make the style difficult to grasp. Before this film, the success of comics and games of the same genre made it even more difficult to break through.
From the 34 points (out of 100) given by the comprehensive media in the United States, it is not difficult to see the cruelty of dreams and reality. A skull with four strings of flames, a Harley driving a serious speeding evil spirit, a cool and handsome leather underwear, and a purgatory fuse that suffocates the devil. What do you remember from watching the movie? Too empty plot is the biggest barrier for comic adaptation movies, and the common problem of gorgeousness but no content is difficult to overcome. Even the big star Nicholas Cage can't be changed. Cage's appearance is not surprising. The film montage makes the young Johnny and the adult Johnny seamlessly connect. The boy turns into a man at the speed of light. At first glance, Cage is in the film. Zhong seems to be much younger, and we take a closer look at the unbearable surprise that the wig that turned out to be "woven" in front of his forehead brought us. In the film, Cage's performance is always diligent, his eyes are still melancholy, and his mood is unchanged, worrying about the country and the people. He has mobilized everyone's enthusiasm five times and three times, but he has always been no match for the lack of goodness in the plot. I don't know if Hollywood underestimated the audience's IQ, or Cage's statement was wrong. One night, nothing but darkness is left.
In fact, in the film, we were also baptized by a real surprise. There are some tricks in the appearance of Wuxin Demon, Sand Demon, Water Demon, and Wind Demon. The excited mood is slightly joyful. I never thought of the few friends who appeared in the scenery. , The director's expression is neat and tidy, but it's annoying that he doesn't use the place. No matter what, you have to shake off the evil spirit's tricks and show off! As a result, even the very common people's mentality of the audience could not be satisfied.
Generally speaking, the least disappointing thing in a Hollywood commercial film is an emotional scene, but unfortunately, the hero and heroine in this film do not have the feelings of longing in their hearts, at most they are good colleagues. Eva Mendes isn't quite as good as she was in Rivals. There are very few women in this drama dominated by men, so you can imagine how lucky you are to be the heroine who plays a big role. If you catch it, you will enjoy the beauty of falling pie from the sky. , screwed up.
Some people say that the final ending is an interpretation of human nature. From the initial wandering about feelings and life to the sober and resolute choice to face it, it is the transformation of the protagonist from passive acceptance of identity to active attack. I agree, but it would be more comprehensive if you add the following, an arrangement that lays the groundwork for a sequel, foreshadows the appearance of new characters, and buys time for another chapter.
Although "Ghost Rider" has shown many unsatisfactory performances, the strong visual impact is still a feast for the eyes. As a small audience, while we are sighing that the stunt is unparalleled, we only hope that the content will be more attentive and not rippling.
It's late at night, so here we are.
