Funny postmodern myth! Director, your mother told you to go home for dinner!

After watching the newly released Hollywood blockbuster "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" not long ago, I suddenly felt like a mentally retarded, once again being toyed with by such a movie that doesn't think about growth. First of all, the naive plot and the old-fashioned heroism routine (one person liberates all mankind) has made the movie pale and powerless, and then the protagonist, who has no fighting ability in the play, still relies on his own supernatural power and earth-shattering luck to make a move Kill the final boss who seems to be very powerful and cool, and when the bad guys in the play beat the protagonist, they either miss it or encounter an accident. No matter how hard they try, they can't hurt the protagonist in the slightest. I'm really anxious for them. It was promoted under the slogan of "

modern mythology", but the protagonist in the play still went to a place that looked like a virgin forest, and held a broken knife with a group of rabble who were also demigods wearing armor from thousands of years ago. They abused each other. Seeing that the protagonist was about to die from abuse !

Originally, mythology was very strange when it came to modern times, and coupled with that kind of peculiar character depiction, it really made people laugh and cry. Not long after the development of the film, the protagonist's friend revealed his sheep's lower body and revealed his identity as a half-sheep man. He couldn't help but marvel: "Fuck you and a sheep?" ! After that, there will be centaurs... After the appearance of Hades (Pluto)'s wife, I was completely desperate. Because I am very interested in mythology, I have long learned that Hades's wife is young in the book. Beauty, the beauty of the country and the city made Hades not hesitate to make enemies with the gods such as Zeus, but in "Bo", the beauty has become a vulgar black aunt with no temperament and beauty. He scratched his head and made poses, and conquered the half-goat man with a look full of desire. Seeing this, he couldn't help but want to vomit blood. Did the director try to make some funny elements or create this plot to insult the myth?

After going through a series of boring fights that I thought were very thrilling, the protagonist finally completed the task, saw his father he had never met, and finally won the return of the beautiful woman. Embracing each other on the cliff, the camera slowly zooms out. At this time, the trees next to the two can be seen being blown by the sudden strong wind (it looks like the wind from the start of the helicopter), forming an irregular wind blowing shape, the director insisted To create a sense of beauty for the end of the film, but it is so weird, don't you think the hair of the hero and heroine is messy?

Regardless of the plot, background, characters, and ending, this film is lackluster, and I can't help but feel that the current film industry is going backwards. I'm so sorry...
