Adults don’t understand the heart of a child

I rate this film from an adult perspective, so I dare not say objectively, I can only show that it is very subjective in advance. If viewed from the perspective of a child under the age of eight, this movie is comparable to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", yes, it is comparable. Children like to watch movies with simpler and more crude plots. Adults, because of their more complicated growth experience, speak awkwardly, and naturally don't like movies with stubbornness. The tragedy is that this movie is just a muscle. If you can't think of the end at the beginning, you might have to go to the hospital to check whether your brain is healthy.

The mystery of the mysterious island is that it is not at all mysterious. There is a beautiful tree house, an ancient city, and a few enlarged versions of animals, followed by Johnson's shaking muscles, and Tiehan's tender self-playing and singing. This film made a joke with an adult. It tells that this movie is a movie about mystery. So, when you can't find the mystery in it, it smiles: Look, you were deceived? At this time, you will know how to smile, it is indeed very mysterious, otherwise, why would you buy tickets to enter the venue and compete with the little kids for seats.

The movie basically has no plot, everything goes straight forward, it gives you a sense of superiority in IQ all the time, and makes you feel strong from time to time that even if you change my filming, you will not be so bad. The lines are blunt, the characters are boring, the 3D is not amazing, and even the monsters are so uncreative. But do children feel this way? Do they feel that monsters larger than humans are so stylish, and that they can ride flying bees so loving, does the mysterious island really exist?

Children's world is small, and no amount of fairy tales can fill their undeveloped heart. All colorful fantasy pictures will bring novelty to them, such as this unexpected movie.

It’s different if we changed. We watched too many cartoons, too many action films, too many sci-fi films, too many 3D films, too many Cameron. For everything in a movie, someone with a heart can even tell which movie it comes from, which movie it resembles, which scenes it draws from, and so on. Our hearts have been filled with all kinds of novelty or boring in the process of growing up, and become a pyramid. Unless something new and strange appears, it is difficult to add another brick to the pyramid.

Then again, the starring of a movie is Dawn Johnson, and most people should be more vigilant. This movie is probably not much better without watching it. A movie starring a third-rate actor, lost for a while in the cast lineup, and it is even harder to say as a whole.

Therefore, watching movies is risky and you must be cautious when buying tickets. If you are unhappy, don't be polite.
