The fledgling Zack Snyder took Warner's sample fee to shoot a short "Spartan Warriors". The short film won $60 million from Warner with its gorgeous visual effects, and the film also became a dark horse at the box office that year. , earning $200 million in the United States. Interestingly, Zack Snyder did not stick to this visual style, and presented different styles of aesthetic visual effects in the subsequent "Watchmen", "Legend of the Guardians" and "Zhubian", and the story also The story is unconventional and always brings something new to the audience. "God of War" was created by the producer of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and the director of "Invasion of Brain Cells" Tasim Sin. There are no traces of parody in Three Hundred Warriors, and there is no innovation, let alone the audio-visual experience. The film is a mess.
Movies about people and ghosts usually become classics due to their strong dramatic conflicts and majestic visual effects. Even in the era when special effects were not developed, "The Seventh Seal", "The Exorcist" and "Four Hundred Years of Horror" Such classic films have presented a unique charm. With the rapid development of special effects, the themes of gods and ghosts have continued to emerge in recent years. Films such as "The Mummy", "Van Hesing", "Underworld", "Clash of the Gods" and "Thor" have given full play to the advantages of special effects landscapes, allowing such films The film played a strong commercial selling point. However, with the development of special effects, many producers have ignored the inherent nature of film art, mistakenly thinking that the gorgeous and extravagant visual landscape alone can be exchanged for the box office. However, with the passage of time, the movie has long since bid farewell to the era of spending a few minutes watching Western scenery with a steel jumper. Small tricks don't work in this day and age.
What is horrifying is that "God of War" has neither special effects nor dramatic tension. The whole movie looks like ants in the paper smashing. The rough rockery and poor costume props make people entertained by the movie Form creates prejudice. The war between humans and gods and ghosts is also very nonsensical. There is no praise for the great spirit of mankind in the film, and it also lacks the due story logic. The male protagonist was first forced to kill the city management officer, and then recruited by the central government. Dull, lengthy, boring, and difficult to justify are the identity tags of this film. To make matters worse, due to the lack of logic in the story, there is no necessary connection between man and God, and the development of the whole story is very messy.
What is even more disturbing is that the film is not only weak in production and director, but also very weak in actors. The biggest player in the film may be Mickey Rourke, the burly man who has played more brash, savage roles after his "Wrestler" fame, but this time the king is seriously lacking in character. John Hurt is an old drama character who has cooperated with many big directors. He played soy sauce twice before and after the film, which has no promotion for the plot. The prophet, played by Freida Pinto, is a pure tool, defying the danger of being roasted, she constantly enlightens the hero, both psychologically and physically. With a popular face, Henry Cavill has shown his expertise as a top-notch actor. His hypnotism was at its peak.
The style of "God of War" fell into a deep imitation of "Three Hundred Spartans", but left the screen full of blackness and botched scenes without aesthetics, and the story was told in a mess. What the audience sees is just a second-hand rotten film with no stereoscopic effect, which leaves no impression except for a piece of scum.
