Some thoughts after watching it at school

What I expected was a strong performance from a strong lineup. After watching it, others asked how it was. In order to maintain the status of Jackie Chan, Linger and Bingbing in their hearts, they only said "a little lower than expected". In fact, if there were a different actor, I'd be honest, it's not a good movie.
The sound of the movie in the lecture hall is good. I remember there was a section of a dog barking floating from somewhere in the auditorium, and the audience all looked to that place to find out, and the live effects of the sound effects could be seen. However, there will be popping sounds in some intense places, which can be described as a fly in the ointment.
The plot is confusing. Is it the god of war or the emperor of the world who rules Middle-earth? What does the God of War want so many women to do (the most annoying part is when the God of War is "harassing" a certain woman, the camera is facing behind them, and then when the camera is turned, this woman is horrible to see, making people suspect the evil taste of God of War. God of War turned back: Where were we...)? Why does the white-haired witch fight and kill the swallow as soon as she sees it? Wait, it can be said that no segment can stand up to scrutiny. If the etherealness of a fantasy film can be used to perfunctory the plot, I don’t think fans will buy it.
The scene is good, with a distinctly Chinese flavor to the Western eye.
In terms of characters, Jackie Chan caused the audience to laugh as soon as he appeared on the stage (although that was not a joke), and everyone recognized Jackie Chan's style by psychological habits. Liu Yifei is too mediocre and indistinct, and various scenes that should be sensational and deep are destroyed by the weird Chinese dubbing. Jet Li is okay, Jackie Chan's role is quite the same, so it has not been forgotten. That foreigner is purely for fun, is it an American component for Hollywood? Li Bingbing should be the most impressive, no matter how evil she does (except for shooting Jackie Chan and interrogating the shop owner, there is nothing very sinister in the film), it is hard for people not to like her character. character. The villain is disgusting, especially the heavy eyeshadow... ah, god, kill me.
martial arts. It is much better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the fighting time is long enough and there are enough changes, but it does not have the elegant pleasure of watching Jin Yong. Many people use the so-called Donnie Yen to deny Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I can't agree more. There can be no aesthetic value in real fighting. Artistic and entertaining public things should be promoted. Besides, depending on the real fight, the ones who watched "Fist of the Warriors" and "Dragon Crossing the River" are also better than Donnie Yen.
All in all, this is a movie worth watching. Thinking of Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia" reenactment after the curtain call, Jackie Chan's Lian Po is old, Liu Yifei's gradually mature calm, Li Bingbing's gorgeousness, Yuan Heping's box office guarantee, any one reason is enough. The box office once dominated on May 1st, I don't know how it is now. And the ratings on IMDB are pretty good too, eh.
PS: Someone on BBS praised the benefits of watching movies in school, saying, "It's still fun to watch movies with smart and harsh people." I agree with it myself.
