After thinking about it, I still decided to give it two stars. If this is an independent film and not a sequel, I might have given a passing score, but the pearls are first. Sorry
Here's a breakdown of what I think are the pitfalls:
1. The plot is messy, with multiple useless storylines.
(1) The little girl who made the mecha, the opening scene has been revolving around her and the self-made mecha "boxer". But I saw that her role was only to [make this mascot], and her production talent was just a passing brush. The few machines that turned waste into treasure did not have any bright or creative places to make a big move. Sister Jing Tian transformed a boxer into a welder, but 666 had to fly. So the role of this skill is to prevent her from being expelled? It really is not afraid to learn the craft and travel all over the world, Lan Xiang should be here to sponsor.
(2) The childish emotional entanglements of teenagers. The Russian blonde girl's inexplicable disgust for little girls led me to think that the two of them would become a pair of mecha comrades in arms, and finally reconciled and friendship sublimated (isn't that the case in the routine). As a result, the director said: nonono, the pattern Tucson broke the milk and covered it. We just unknowingly go on hate and inexplicable understanding, and then no longer have any contact...? ? ? ? Black question mark face, who can tell me what this bridge is used for? In order to add drama to the Russian girl? Not only this, but every student's camera lens is like a waste pen, showing neither the inner conflict of the external character nor the running-in and progress.
(3) What is the use of the setting of the novice training base? Continuing from the previous one, these melon-eating teenagers have absolutely no talent and skills that can become the key force in fighting against bosses, and the teaching of the black and white instructors is also useless. Why set up such a base? Wouldn't it make any difference if it turned into a group of fighters driving mechas?
(4) The redundant love triangle seems to exist only to force two jokes.
2. The story has no tension to make people sleepy.
The selling point of this kind of movie is "burning", but how to make the audience see the blood throbbing? It doesn't mean that you smash too many houses or talk too loudly. To be honest, some movies made me tremble unconsciously, such as "Pacific Rim 1", the mecha with a heavy mission to go on an expedition accompanied by god-like bgm; such as the decisive battle of Minas Tirith in "The Lord of the Rings 3"; such as "World" Hold your breath to evade the droids in The Great War. The intense sense of oppression and the tense atmosphere broke out in an instant, and the audience was excited. And when the movie was 1/3, I was already drowsy, and I went to wash my face and came back to force myself to continue watching. The villain's conspiracy in the movie has no hints and signs at all, it just pops out like that, and the audience has absolutely no expectation of these actions and the pleasure of participating in solving the case. It's really boring to watch the protagonists play each other's house.
3. The characterization is a failure. It is not easy to have a person in a movie that the audience likes. I'm sorry for whoever hung up on them, and my heart didn't waver, but when Mazi died, I cursed wtf in my heart? Even the mecha was hung in the plane without being allowed to wear it. Sure enough, the tradition of the front protagonist's quick lunch has not changed. The only thing that impresses me is the lame scientist, his eyes are very playful.
4. Eat melons except mecha. The last move, Fei Xian + Tathagata's palm, shocked my forehead, and the grass and mud horses roared past. Since a mecha can kill this guy, are all countries with heavy weapons eating melons across the sea, and even Japan's own Self-Defense Forces are hiding underground, right? A problem that can be solved by a single missile actually took a city apart and four expensive mechas to solve. I was really touched.
5. A lot of people have said about mecha modeling, fighting scenes, special effects, Jing Tian’s acting skills and her Sino-British dialogue, so I agree here.
Please stop thinking that mainland audiences are all fools. If there are special effects and big productions and two more oriental faces, we will definitely buy it. Looking at the ratings of this movie, don't you feel the taste?
p.s: I'm going to go to the first eye wash again.
