People who say "it'd be boring if it's an orthodox epic movie" must be farting without thinking, even before American shows like "Game of Thrones" came out, that was totally untenable . Looking at it today, making King Arthur a two-hour orthodox epic movie with a certain amount of fantasy and good looks is by no means easy, but by no means impossible.
The film is rather an alternative England theme with King Arthur symbols and symbolism. Let's take a look at who is sitting at the round table, there are black friends, there are yellow-skinned Asians, and there are native whites. Well, the mainstream people of color are all here, everyone gathers in England, even in London, in this city that has been the representative of Britain since ancient times, was equally canonized by the great King Arthur of England, including the rebellious Vikings People, all these races are vassals of the British, and they all follow the lead of King Arthur! Isn't this the main theme of England? Isn't Arthur's line at the end of the film, "I represent the people of England," not straightforward enough? Shouldn't the movie that made Beckham's star power itself be the main theme? hhh, by the way, where did Gary get into the water? Beckham's acting skills were obviously not on the same level as the professionally trained actors around him, and it was very abrupt. Beckham has a ferocious make-up, but when he opens his mouth, he smells like a civilized person in the upper class, with a standard queen voice, a little bit of ruffian, not a bit of market taste, not barbaric or arrogant at all, not a black man at all. The voice of a small leader of a soldier, and it seems that it has not been dubbed in the later stage, so the voice at the scene is even more weak, like a scholar talking, which is completely inconsistent with his makeup. This pot is covered by Richie's back, because it is inevitable for non-professional actors to have such a situation, and they are inexperienced. It's like there is always a blockbuster where Jing Tian is the heroine and everyone will scold. Just because he is handsome? Fame is not the same as this one.
This film is a hodgepodge. You can see scenes similar to the Ganges of India in London. There are Indians on the streets, there are martial arts gyms opened by Chinese people, and there are gladiatorial arenas like Rome. It reminds me of Linhai under Tsui Hark's lens. Chang'an Street Scenery - a man-made prosperous age. Arthur's father, King Arthur's story looks more like a King Arthur story. Although we all know that Arthur does not exist, is fictional, and is a character fabricated by novelists based on several historical character archetypes, we should try to restore that style. But I don't like this hip-hop Arthur that Guy Ritchie brought. The background of the story is mixed, adapting a story that was originally fabricated so that its credibility is infinitely close to zero, and letting all the unrestrained play is not suitable for every kind of movie, just like the Japanese adaptation of Journey to the West is a mess, and Tang monks are all women. can you accept? Although the role of Votigen is also recorded in history, no matter how you look at the relationship, it seems that Lancelot has been changed to become him. If Lancelot had already been defeated here, Queen Guinevere, the mage in the sequel, wouldn't be cuckolding Arthur. But looking at the box office, it's definitely not a sequel, although I don't know who gave the investors the courage to make them dare to spend 175 million for Guy Ritchie to burn, anyway, never trust Guy Ritchie. And it is said that Warners also ordered 6 in one go? So in the case of the first part being broken and sinking into the sand, are the following ones still counted? If you change the director, then no one dares to take on Guy Ritchie's bizarre style and mess, then the first film is equivalent to nothing, and everything has to start from scratch. If you continue to let Guy Ritchie direct the second film, the box office will only be lower, because audiences who don't like this style will naturally not be able to be fooled to watch the second film. Throughout the history of Gai Dao, the only sequel that has been filmed is Detective 2. The box office is only tens of millions higher than the first one, and the score is even lower than the first one. So in any case, Warners executives signed Guy Ritchie when the proportion of free water in their minds suddenly soared, and should realize that as long as the first part of the series is destroyed, everything is over, and the series will lose money no matter what. I really don't understand Warner's way, and a good hand makes me rotten.
Guinevere used to be a queen, but now she's a mage, so we still have to wait for the second episode to get married. The actor Astrid was 24 years old six years ago. At that time, he played the mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. She was so beautiful that she was not a human being, but a mermaid. At that time, her skin was blemishable, fair and tender. I thought she was really looking for a 17- or 18-year-old actor to play the role, but I found out that she was twenty-three or four years old. Now nearly 30 years old, she is rapidly aging, as if she has overdose on drugs, she is thin and dry, she is not the mermaid of the past, I only felt familiar when I first watched the movie, but I did not expect that she would make me fall in love with me when I was young. The mermaid.... can only say it is a pity
The role of Votigen is too facial. It's not that Jude Law's acting skills are not good, but the setting of this character is too middle-of-the-road and too mediocre. How is it different from the villain in ordinary movies? This pot has to be carried by Gary. Why didn't Vortigen take advantage of King Uther's foreign affairs, which would be the easiest way to destroy him, and he wouldn't have to sacrifice too much himself, just stab him in the back when King Uther was fighting against Mordred. No, not to mention that when he came to power, he had to force the soldiers to be black in order to cooperate with the forces of darkness. It is very hot in summer! Isn't the euphemistic name of the black armored soldier still a middle-2 disease on the brain? Kill your brother to rule the country and rule, you already have a country and a throne, you have to engage in black magic. And your own black magic is useless at all, so why did you show it so many times before the decisive battle? ? It is said that Mordred became a mage and was killed by his father, so wouldn't Arthur always be the king and hegemon to the end? 2333 The soundtrack is the highlight, but it is too modern. Although it is very flammable, it is still not suitable for the theme of Arthur. It makes the original mixed theme even more mixed, and it completely becomes hip-hop Arthur. Some people say that this is the director's ulterior motive, nonsense. ! Of course this tm was not accidentally added by the director! It can only be said that Guy Ritchie understands this movie in this way, and his understanding is not favored by most people, and the box office has explained everything. What is the use of whitewashing the brain powder? The first one in the short comment is really not used to it, what is the theme of "so boring"? ? ? If you don't like history, just say it's boring? ? ? This kind of white lily in Chaoyang District is probably not Shi Lezhi.
In the end, Warners should quickly replace Guy Ritchie, at least this can maximize the stop loss, and let him continue to shoot can only find a dead end, I am afraid that the entire Warners will not be included. You guys should let him go, let him go to film Secret Spy 2! I TM can't wait to watch 2!
UPDATE: It suddenly occurred to me that at least two things about the movie are worth affirming: the special effects are indeed worth 175 million. In addition, the fighting scenes in the film are among the best in the movies I have seen, and it can almost be said that Hollywood has the best action scenes since 2012's "Lincoln the Vampire Slayer". Especially the rotating and jumping shots are simply cool.
