Gently leave memories, magic is immortal

Today, I went to the cinema with my friends for the second time. To be honest, I was not very satisfied after watching it two days ago. After all, the first two are there, and it is inevitable that there will be no sense of surprise before. But after the second brush, my opinion has changed a lot.
Overall, I feel that the story is not as good as I imagined, and the setting of the character conflict does not look like a final chapter, not even as good as the second Pharaoh's brother. The event of "Big Cousin" grabbing the gold medal started abruptly and ended abruptly. This series is not like a trilogy in the traditional sense, where the crisis is escalating and the conflict is constantly magnifying, because the conflict events in the three episodes are independent of each other except for the characters, so the weakening of the event handling is also normal. After all, the 97-minute film length is still It is necessary to take care of the ending of the numerous character relationships in the film, so there is no more space to create a bigger event. Although it is a disadvantage, on second thought, who cares? People who haven't seen the first and second movies have no problem going to the cinema, but the difference is that the feeling of reluctance and memory may be missing.
The film's laughter and special effects let us see sincerity. During the viewing process, there was a lot of laughter, the heavy taste sparks of the ape man and the British fat female security guard, the warm kiss of Riley and the capuchin monkey, Hugh Jackman's unscrupulous self-defeating and "The Last Day of Pompeii" and other hilarious grooves made everyone People can't help but laugh. (The part of the three lions vaguely seems to be satirizing the rhythm of the "Three Meow Army") The intensity of laughter is much higher than the first two episodes, and the arrangement is reasonable and natural. Maybe this is also the writer's attempt to remedy the sense of surprise. Bar. In terms of special effects, the film has also made great progress. The constellation performance in the opening is extremely gorgeous and eye-catching. After that, Roosevelt and Riley competed for the gold medal with the "big cousin" in the painting. I saw the creativity of the production. The full, constant back and forth of stairs and walls of different gravity is impressive, and it feels like the special effects team is looking for new visual breakthroughs for this episode.
Although the story is mediocre, I really like the way the ending is handled. On behalf of everyone, Teddy decided to keep the little pharaoh and the plaque by his parents' side, fulfilling the family's long-cherished wish with sacrifice, which was also the original purpose of the plaque. I'm sure it wasn't just Larry who was upset when Teddy said that. The Hun King gave his last words in English. The capuchin monkey no longer slapped his face but said goodbye with a kiss. Teddy's last "smile, the sun rises" made people sigh in this sad morning. In the blink of an eye, three years later, the British Museum held a temporary joint exhibition in this old place. It was still the familiar Disco Party, and the director of McAfee finally witnessed the miracle (even here did not forget to be funny, the female security guard and the ape-man). BGM not worthy of the Titanic is a waste!). The camera finally stopped in the gaze of the former security guard Larry standing in front of the museum. As for what happened after that, it was left to the audience's imagination. This kind of treatment seems to gently leave the memory of this legend in our minds, and it also leaves us a world where magic is immortal.
Unconsciously, this series has been with us for 8 years, and we may not think that he has any special highlights, especially the last one. But the end is always unfinished, and the sadness of this ending has left many people who walked out of the cinema feeling disappointed. We hope that the magic will not die, and that this series will continue to be filmed. As a movie belonging to the popcorn series, his temperament is different from the excitement of super blockbusters like Marvel, but the light happiness brought by the lightheartedness and warmth. So in the end, when I saw these old friends get together again for a new adventure, the previous nitpicking suddenly seemed irrelevant. So those who say it doesn't look good may be asking too much, or looking for the wrong location.
The actors in the film are not picky either. Everyone uses their superb acting skills to make the museums seem to be really resurrected, making us yearn for that incredible world at night.
Finally, I would like to thank Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney, two old people who still brought joy to everyone on the screen until the end of their lives, and brought us this wonderful curtain call.
