I would love to give 4 stars

Last night I packed the best two rows of seats in the cinema with my friends and watched the long-awaited movie. However, the result is quite disappointing... In anticipation of this movie, I really want to give 4 stars, but my reason tells me that at most 3 stars!
Plot:
Plot is the soul of a movie. In recent years, there have been very few movies with good plots, all of them are boring like "The Banquet" and "The Promise". I don't know what the mainland directors think. They seem to think that a 3-year-old child's story can be made into a movie. Same. Now the atmosphere is like this: the plot is not important, the scene is important! Really? fart! The plot of "King of Kung Fu" is said to be based on Journey to the West, but after reading it, it really has nothing to do with Journey to the West. Before and after, the plot couldn't be simpler, just for the sake of a stick, to find the owner, and to destroy the bad guy. The plot of a 3-year-old child like this really makes me speechless... It is worth mentioning that in the plot, the screenwriter also came to a time-travel, hehe, I've watched a lot of time-travel texts recently. ! !
Performance:
It seems that Jason's performance in the film is the most natural one. I feel that there is a trend now that the actors in the movies in Europe and the United States really need to be more skillful, and the performance will not leave any traces. People are not performing, but completely dissolved in the film. And look, Liu Yifei, and the god of war in Jade Border, are all so face-to-face. Their performances seem to remind the audience all the time: you are watching a movie now!
In addition to Jason, Jackie Chan's performance is second. After all, he is Jackie Chan's eldest brother. After working abroad for so many years, his performance skills have improved a lot. In the whole film, Big Brother Long's expression is also very natural. The only flaw is that in the tavern when Jason first came to the ancient times, the conversation was a little bit face-off. Overall, Jackie Chan's performance is still worth watching.
Forget about Jet Li's performance, although I like him very much.
scene:
Although it is the only selling point of this movie, I think this kind of scene is an insult to us who are used to seeing the big scenes of "The Mummy", "King Kong" and "Transformers"! ! Is this scene more dramatic? The beauty of martial arts is not as good as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the scenes of group fights are not as good as "Golden Armor", so is there any scene in this movie? have! ! As the propaganda said, Jackie Chan and Jet Li's century is absolutely! This is also the only thing in the whole movie that makes me nod: finally hit it! ! However, I have to sigh: Yuan Heping, Jiang Lang is done! The actions are still the same. In other films directed by him, you can see those actions, there is nothing new. However, Jackie Chan's Tiger Fist is still very powerful, coupled with the sound effects, it's really good, that's why I nod my head here.
Clothing:
I still like Liu Yifei very much, but why is it a black suit! What a sin, it's not that Yanzi is black, so the person who plays Yanzi is also black? This is the logic of kindergarten, everyone is an adult, okay? You put on white clothes for her, approved her long hair, and said she was a swallow. There shouldn't be any opinions from the audience, right? ! The Yujiang God of War and his Xiao Luoluo's clothes are also so standard, and they have long been tired of seeing them. Looking at the costume movies in recent years, the costumes of the large rebel troops are so similar. However, it is also quite embarrassing for stylists. It is indeed more difficult to do. China has a history of 5,000 years, so long...
Jason, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Li Bingbing's clothes are okay, but they are not used to Yujiang God of War and Ronaldinho. Luo, or Liu Yifei was spoiled by someone else! !

To sum up, comrades and sisters, if you still have a lot of money in your pocket, you can take a look at it. It's entertainment, but don't hold the mentality of watching "The Comet Hits the Earth", "The Mummy" and "King Kong".

  • Lu Yan: A musician can have Kung Fu, or the poet who paints pictures with words and makes emperors weep, this too is Kung Fu.

  • The Silent Monk: Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn The Way, then find your own way.
