Coincidentally, in the past few days a year ago, the cinema in the early morning was almost as crowded as a New Year's Eve.
A person who has never seen a movie might think that this art is so cheap that you don't even need a ticket. But he didn't know that this was because of the release of "Avengers 4".
The cheapest midnight premiere costs more than 100 RMB.
It was a night when even the seats in the corners were so hot that no one could get a ticket. The highest ticket price for an IMAX was even fired to more than 1,000 yuan.
Over the past few years, I don’t think superheroes thought that an epidemic would make the global cinema chain press the pause button. And when disaster strikes, they can't save even a single fan like a superhero.
This may be the difference between film and life.
The widow sister took off her black tights and turned into an artistic young woman, and indifferently discussed the nature of marriage; Nini took off her iron armor and became playmates with animals, and went through the sea on a big boat just to make a vow; Captain America put away her muscles He grew a beard and became a lawyer, dedicated to defending the justice that belongs to his son; Mr. Hai completely abandoned his Miao Miao hammer, picked up M4 and grabbed a job with Liam Neeson.
That's right, even the strongest Avengers in the Avengers have fallen.
When watching "Shocking Rescue", I really had the illusion that Hai Zong summoned the Meow Hammer or Storm Tomahawk at any time, a big move to kill the Asan Army in seconds.
Sometimes reality is just that, and you have to accept it. I am afraid it is difficult for us to wait for these four people to appear in a movie at the same time. It may be a gimmick under the guise of feelings many years later, but the irony is that if you take a closer look, whether it is for marriage, for animals, for sons or for love The hostages, these four people actually act like an alternative "Justice League" in different parallel universes.
Perhaps, this is how DC and Marvel finally reconcile. And "Shocking Rescue" didn't add much color because of Mr. Hai's love to join.
People who watch this movie with high hopes will be disappointed, because it is not just a popcorn work that is completely similar to Liam Neeson's rescue series, but also Mr. Hai, who is constantly stripping and showing his muscles. It was also wrapped tightly.
Whether it's a T-shirt, shirt or battle suit, the meat will not be exposed, not even a beer belly. The audience who came with the purpose of sucking muscles can leave.
The only thing that makes "Shocking Rescue" stand out is the tension created by the skillful scene scheduling.
Players who have played first-person shooting games should know that "first-person" is the most immersive shooting method, and "Hardcore Henry" became popular because of this.
Looking at many scenes of "Shocking Rescue", I have the illusion of playing "Call of Duty" by myself, which is grafted into the grand story framework of hostage rescue and spiritual redemption, which makes this first-person narrative a little more morally exciting.
But will the image of Tyler, the mercenary played by Mr. Hai, become more plump and three-dimensional because of the collision with the little hostage?
Nope, he's no different from every GI in the movie who unfortunately suffers from PTSD.
Even in the matter of saving hostages, Mr. Hai and Liam Neeson are fundamentally different. The act of saving to make up for the loss of a child will only be slightly selfish under the aura driven by family affection.
And the movie martial arts has superfluous design for Taylor with many situations and difficulties that normal people can't complete, which makes Taylor, who has entered Longtan alone, somewhat virtualized and super-English.
Maybe because he is Mr. Hai, many people think that "cool" is over, and there is no need to nitpick.
But looking at the widow sister of 8.5 and the US team of 8.7, I am unwilling.
This superfluous design makes Taylor have to walk between the images of Uncle Liam and John Wick.
Fans are also caught in a contradiction: should he expect the result of whether he can save the hostages, or is he immersed in the process of counting how many enemies he has killed from start to finish?
This loophole is fatal for "Shocking Rescue".
If placed in the era of "First Blood" or even "The Expendables", the audience may applaud, but today, "Shocking Rescue" seems a bit nondescript.
Because it is neither sci-fi enough to the virtual world of "Speed Pursuit", nor realistic enough to the real dilemma of "Hurricane Rescue". Just like the super-English "Fast and Furious", only the mediocrity at both ends of the first mouse is waiting for it.
The extra gangster infighting, the extra vengeful heroine, the extra Asan Army Corps, except for Mr. Hai, everything else in "Shocking Rescue" is superfluous. There are many ways to seek death, but Taylor chose the one that was the most difficult but the most profitable for him.
The era that belongs to the old people of the Avengers is over, and those superheroes who are all-powerful finally have to take off their uniforms and get laid off to re-employ. As a slashed youth, Thor, the answer sheet handed over this time is obviously not high enough.
Maybe our expectations are high, or maybe his play is narrow.
But I hope we can all dive headfirst into a mediocre film like the Indian boy at the end of the film, and when it comes to the surface, we see the film we want to see, the person.
