Nothing but three

The first and second episodes of this series are so beautiful. The plot twists and turns wonderful, the climax is repeated, the actors' performances are full of vitality, the special effects are shocking and natural, and they completely make people enter another time and space to enjoy the excitement and joy of adventure.
This third episode suddenly It changed in time, the script was naive, the characters were messy, the performance was not tacit, the special effects were exaggerated and abrupt and unnatural, except for the Shangri-La with only one shot (this scene is really good, why not shoot for a while...), I think The other sets have failed extremely.
Let’s talk about the plot first, probably because China’s historical heritage is relatively complete, and we have a more complete background knowledge of the past than ancient Egypt, so when we see that it seems to be an alluding to Qin Shihuang When Jet Li was manipulating the five elements in a small house with an Egyptian style in his eyes, he couldn't tell the thunder. Maybe foreigners didn't understand it and could watch it lively. We guessed that the sense of identity was not strong. Then it became sandwiched between the movie and reality. The embarrassing audience between them has no sense of substitution. During the
filming, there were too many shaking shots, and the fighting scene may be obviously different from the previous two due to the addition of too many Asian actors, and it has become a typical failure of the combination of local and foreign. And the performance of the characters is very bad, there are many people, and none of them performed well, which is impressive, not as good as those snowmen.
We are all too familiar with Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li, and we can see the sense of substitution in their roles. There will be problems, especially for Jet Li, the blockbuster films made in recent years, and this all feel that the characters look weird, maybe they are old, plus the familiar and failed modeling, There is no sense of oppression or mystery in the real image of the Dragon Emperor.
Well, the heroine has appeared. To be honest, Rachel Weisz is really wise not to play the role. The aunt who came up is quite awkward. There is no spark, and the sense of estrangement in the performance is very strong. I feel that each is acting in its own way, and the lines are not right.
Huang Qiusheng, Liang Luoshi, Meng Guangmei, one by one, they appeared one by one, and they were chaotic, especially Meng Guangmei, who was quite amazing when he first appeared, but unfortunately they didn't have any roles. A complete passer-by, but ended up dying with Huang Qiusheng. Although her spirit is commendable, it is a pity that there is no foreshadowing in front of her. It seems that this behavior of hers makes people unable to react and accept it for a while. It is estimated that she has no sympathy, so she died in vain. .
Liang Luoshi is very beautiful. I don't know if it will appear in the next episode. If the current plot develops, there is still great hope.
I always feel that the two male protagonists are like brothers, not like father and son. The age of the actors may not match. , In addition, in the performance, one pretended to be tender and the other pretended to be mature, which brought the age of the two closer, and there was no plot or lines to express their father-son relationship, plus a mother who changed her attitude and expression very quickly, this family The acting is far-fetched.
My favorite scene in the whole film is the Shangri-La scene. Although there is only one shot, it is very beautiful and completely amazed me. It is the same as Jonathan's idea. If you live here, you will live for a thousand or two thousand years. no problem…

    After the rumbling thunder rolled halfway through, I really don't know why I have to watch it and give it up
