Angrily comment on "Men in Black 4" "Men in Black 4" is the worst movie I have seen in the whole summer. This is not to say that it is bad, but it lives up to the expectations of this classic IP. . That's right, it is a qualified commercial sci-fi film from various perspectives. It uses various Easter eggs and layouts with a unique style of men in black to let the audience quickly enter this world view, the arrangement of various comedy elements, etc. Yes, but the key point is that it is a film with an IP on its back. The Men in Black series can be said to be one of my favorite American sci-fi series since I was a child. It is not serious and can even be labeled as a comedy, and it does not lose its depth. It allows the audience to feel the world view from the small. While being grand, he can deeply realize his own insignificance is the unique charm of the world of men in black. Since the art test, a question I have often thought about is how to find a balance between the artistry and commercialization of a cultural product. Art can't be self-promotion of enclosures, and it can't be vulgar fast food. The Men in Black series solved this problem very well, and I still can't forget the "world in the closet" where Agent K kicked open the locker room door and let J know that he was just a bigger creature after laughing at the whole movie. "That's it, I also remember the scene at the end of the second part where the alien creatures used our entire world to play a pinball game. These made me feel my own insignificance and the vastness of the world. These are the most important things for the man in black. Instead of the red button on the car and the memory eraser that emits blue light, it is a pity that "Men in Black 4" perfectly inherited the skin of the previous work, and then threw the core somewhere. You may say that aside from these, "Men in Black 4" is still a qualified movie, and it is even friendly to newcomers, but the problem is that it is not successful from a movie point of view. The first is the collapse of the characters in the whole story. Except for the male and female protagonists, almost all of them are props to promote the plot, or they are the ones that are used and thrown away. Special mention is made of the strongest "villain" double star in the early stage of the film, the director even I didn't even bother to explain how they came to Earth, and threw them into the movie in a daze. The various show operations in the early stage, and the protagonist's various heavy weapons took turns to go into battle without any damage. I just let the agent who jumped out of nowhere use high-voltage electricity to kill it, and even the ashes are left behind, and I can't wash it off. I really doubt whether the director has experience with scumbags, or is ruthless. Speaking of the protagonist, a black face and a white face are the usual combination of many comedy movies. The partners of JK and K in the previous work can be said to be very classic, but in this one, you will find that the screenwriter seems to have been trying to make the heroine a black face. The character seems reasonable and crazy Crazy round the field, and how to make H, the strongest agent in the London branch, be the funny white-faced screenwriter, there is simply no motivation to round up, so let this character fend for itself and become mentally ill, which is a bit frustrating. The audience was amazed. Then there are all kinds of blunt elements added in this film. In order to make this film together with the elements of men in black, the director even directly asked the protagonist to pick up a car in the parking lot and press the red button, not to mention other elements. Big mess, want to open the Chinese market? Well, we will broadcast in Chinese on the London branch station, and put a Chinese star on the big screen to fill nearly half of the screen; want racial equality? Well, we've swapped Will Smith out but we can have another black actor as a partner and have her play that serious role; gender equality? Well, let's let the protagonist not forget to add "black women" when facing the big boss and being forced to the cliff. The end result is that this movie is like a hodgepodge of bluntly thrown on the dining table. Feeling bursting. Well, there are too many scoldings, and I don't know how to end it. In short, I will give a four out of ten [weak]
