when I was a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger when I was very young, I remember buying a pirated VCD of Predator, remember that Arnold's translation is "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Liga"
I was told that this time Rodriguez was making a remake of the first Arnold version of Predator, but in fact the two have nothing to do with each other except that they both take place in the rainforest. When I first saw Robert Roderiguez's Predators, I thought it was directed by him, but after watching it, I guessed that it wasn't directed by him at all...I knew I didn't expect so much from
Arnold, I'll give you a spoiler, Arnold In the film, he played the head of the special forces, went to the tropical rainforest to destroy the guerrillas and rescued the hostages. After encountering some bloody scenes, he finally completed the task. It turned out that someone was following him. This person is more powerful, advanced technology and invisible. heat.
After his teammates died one after another, Schwarzenegger roared to attract the alien, and then the latter fought with Arnold, who was covered in mud to avoid the heat, and Arnold used the trap he had made before, very lacking in chivalry. He mutilated the alien who had been crushing him, and then he ran up to the dying alien to ask who you are in English. The latter blew himself up, and Arnold hid in a bunker and was rescued by a helicopter.

The name of Rodriguez is hung, everyone should know about him, if you don’t know, you can go to google and download his previous director 's film. By the way, looking forward to the next "Machete", he himself is a guy who is good at bloody violence and black humor. To be honest, I have never seen any scary or tense films he directed. I thought he was directing this film, and I had high expectations.
First of all, having a guy who plays pianist play the role that Arnold played back then made me want to see if the transition was a success.
Also, I'd like to see how Rodriguez inserts his humor into a film that's dominated by tension and horror, and by the way how he transcends the former.
As a result, I don't think the film is tense and has nothing to do with the first Predator film other than the final battle and the fact that the whole film is in the rainforest. There isn't much funny in the film. In contrast, the only bright spot is that I am quite satisfied with the male lead, whether it's his hoarse voice or his manners and his muscles after taking off his clothes.
So the actor's transformation is quite successful, while the director is relatively unsuccessful...
But I won't say this absolutely. Now bloody things, scary things, and any visual things are changing with each passing day. I watched Arnold when I was a child. It’s been almost 10 years since the movie was released on VCD. I was only 2 years old when it came out. Back then, I was scared to death when I played Doom, and a few years later when I played Quake, I was scared to death, but now everyone’s taste And the requirements are very high. A friend of mine who didn’t watch movies a lot watched this movie, but he couldn’t eat, sleep, or sleep... So for me, the immunity to violence, blood, and horror movies is extremely high. I think this film should be:
1. Thoroughly R-rated, find an Italian or French actress to play the heroine, the clothes are torn from the beginning and one breast is exposed to play the whole movie, every role If you die, you must spray at least a bucket of blood, and the camera must have a long shot, not cut. After death, the corpse must be viewed from multiple angles, and the special effects makeup must be realistic. Grabbing the head and tearing out the entire spine is so old-fashioned... It seems like it's been there in AVP. Because it's time to peel off the skin like in Silent Hill (but it's slow, you can't swipe and the person in your hand becomes a piece of meat in one second), you have to take it slow... uh, this way I'm going to be a little perverted... In short, you know what I mean, this film is going to capture any woman who claims to be not afraid of horror movies, she has to cover her eyes and say: ah... don't... gosh~~ fuck! ! ! ! And have something new...not the ones that everyone has seen countless times...for example, you take a laser cannon and smash people's stomachs, or blow up a pile of rotten meat, whether you How real and how good the special effects are, everyone has already seen it in Saving Private Ryan...
Actually, my girlfriend eats chips while watching this... So, visually, it fails, especially when the Japanese yakuza played by the fake Zhang Hanyu takes a knife and heads up, the two run, brush, close-up The monster behind him who looked like Zhang Hanyu collapsed with a bang, and then there was a painful expression on Zhang Hanyu's face, bang, and also fell, no blood, no broken limbs, no screams, nothing... Just take another black and white shot... This bloody level can only be regarded as PG... Occasionally there is a corpse, which is brushed, swept over in 2 or 3 seconds, and then filmed dozens of actors' fearful or disgusting expressions Seconds...what the fuck...can Predators scare people like this? Anyway, you can cut off half of your head like Kill Bill... (even if the half of your head exposed on the top of your head is obviously pasted)
2. The details should be clear, the aliens described in the Predator series They are very powerful, but they have never communicated verbally, so the audience doesn't know their habits, and these monsters don't communicate with each other. They don't sympathize with the weak. If they see others lying on the ground, he will definitely kill them, but when the enemy is far away, he will take them. The laser cannonballs always fail, and he also fights with knives. That is to say, sometimes they are also very chivalrous... But after repeating this, the Predators that make people unknowingly exist are real. Yes, it only makes everyone feel that it is a lack of background settings, a kind of props for the arrangement of the plot. In addition to reducing the number of supporting roles, their appearance is to reflect the awesomeness of the characters... Sometimes they can be shot hundreds of times without dying, and they can be stabbed by a dagger. Sometimes they can be accompanied by a Japanese devil with a Japanese knife They died together, but then they were blown up by a grenade and beaten by an axe for nearly a hundred times and nothing happened... As a monster with a highly developed intelligence, Predator has no teamwork and communication, no habits (I It means that in this film, in AVP, they are very samurai spirit and also talk about the team, at least they will scream when their teammates die, unlike this film, it is completely 1v1 and then dies one last...)
As for The one who played Morpheus in The Matrix plays a crazy old human Predator who has been mixed for 10 years here. His appearance is even more inexplicable, and he did nothing but provide food and ammunition to the characters in the film. … ･･･
In addition, although the weapons in the film are all fake, some things are still questionable. For example, the male protagonist has a shotgun with a reloading drum similar to AA12. The bullets are infinite, as if the range is infinite... The people in the front didn't step on the traps, but the people behind them all hit the traps. For example, the US Special Headquarters who died before could kill 100 people in the traps left behind. The degree of automation and high lethality is just fine. Compared with the role of a Black Hawk helicopter, is this really made by one person with a knife? And he didn't get stabbed to death by himself... For a rational audience like me, seeing this is just a snort of disdain, and it doesn't make people feel that the jungle is in danger...
Most importantly, Predator is in the minority When he showed up, he was either standing still or slow and stupid, obviously wearing too heavy clothes, and whenever he was invisible or perceived by humans, he always flew around like a ninja... Watching the two bulky Predators fight in the film makes it feel like two clumsy bears frolicking on the ground.
The quality of the details has always been the ultimate manifestation of a director's strength. The director of this film is obviously a bad person. It's better to let the filmmaker make it...
Of course, it may also be related to investment...
———————— ——————
In short, I recommend you to go to the cinema to watch it, and then tell me if you think this film is tense, exciting, or bloody, this film is not 3D, so if you are in China, you can wait for it to be downloaded. Download it and watch it. I watched it in the cinema and felt that there was nothing worth watching on the big screen.
The two biggest surprises for me in the whole movie are:
1. I saw the trailer of Resident Evil 4 before the movie started, and there is a new movie to look forward to
. 2. The protagonist Brody should be able to get rid of the impression of a little white face from now on, although it is estimated that he does not. How many more opportunities will there be to make action films, and there may be many people who criticize him for not calling him to star in this film, but I personally think that his role in this film is quite successful... just a little more beard
