Let me be more specific: if "The Great Wall" is not directed by Zhang Yimou, but a foreign director no one has heard of', if "The Great Wall" is not performed by Jing Tian and Lu Han, but a newcomer with the same acting skills, if the film uses The background is not the Great Wall we are familiar with, but just an ordinary defensive offensive set for the needs of the story. When the expectations outside these movies have disappeared, returning to the movie itself, "The Great Wall" is really good!
"The Great Wall" is about fighting monsters, while also exploring the theme of "greed". The story has reached a high level in American superhero movies.
So, please put your mind right and go watch the movie! ——"The Great Wall" is a Hollywood popcorn movie with Chinese directors and actors deeply involved.
It's not a Chinese movie! It is a Hollywood movie that promotes Chinese culture! It's not a literary film, it's a commercial film!
So if you want to compare, to other top American popcorn movies, I don't think "The Great Wall" is inferior. There is no need to compare it with "Alive", the Olympic Games, and other Chinese literary films.
I am half a film and television practitioner. Finally, I would like to say:
the threshold for film criticism is too low, but the threshold for Hollywood super production is very high.
Zhang Yimou used his artistic "regression" in exchange for a big step forward in the Chinese film industry! "The Great Wall" is worth it!
I give "The Great Wall" a 9!
