2010-2014 is the most spectacular 5 years in contemporary Hollywood history, and it is known as an IP serial car accident. The car accident started with "Centurion" PK "Ninth Eagle Regiment", and then the infamous Tasim Xin appeared in two bursts-"The God of War" PK "War of the Gods & Wrath of the Gods" , "Snow White: Mirror and Mirror" PK "Snow White and the Hunter"-indirectly caused the bankruptcy of the film department of Relativity Media many years later, and finally ended in "Hercules" PK "Son of Zeus: Hercules". This huge disaster represents the post-economic crisis era, the low originality, the crazy waste of resources caused by major studios tending to be conservative, and a few years later, on the other side of the earth, there is also a crazy IP plundering and transformation war. But the methods are lower and the subject matter is more boring.
Since this historic crash, the selection of Hollywood movies has obviously been affected: the youth pseudo-science fiction theme has begun to flourish and flourish-by 2016 it has been able to die down; the open and honest crashes have also begun to learn to avoid gears and skip tickets. It's-Warner and Andy Serkins jointly developed "The Book of the Jungle" under Baby Dee's fake tigers and scared to see you next year. However, did the survivors at the scene of the car accident have the strength to get up and drag racing?
Global, who made a lot of money last year, thinks it's okay.
From the perspective of the rate of return, the performance of "Snow White and the Hunter", which has an investment of 170 million US dollars and less than 400 million in the world, has passed the test. Compared with other car accidents in the same period, except for the magic mirror blind dog eyes I thought that Kristen Stewart would have better than Charlize Theron, and at least constructed a world view that is not so familiar to the disgusting, and the special effects production is also very artistic. But a few years later, the influence of the scandal that Snow White’s involvement in married director Rupert Sanders is still difficult to erase. With the priceless remuneration, it is conceivable that the sequel will decisively discard this. There is no fairy tale shadow anymore.
On the surface, the effect of swapping one (facial paralysis patient) for three (shadow queen) is obviously very worthwhile. It is a pity that no matter how good the foundation is, the right material and the right craftsman must be used to build a good-looking tent, otherwise it is just a pile of construction waste.
"Hunter: Winter War" is such a pile of garbage.
the first heroine of the previous game (not actually) left the scene, Chris Hemsworth's hunter role was inevitably formally corrected, becoming the main perspective of the story and the adhesion of characters and events. mixture. Charlize Theron’s evil queen Ravenna is the second main character to return, but at best it is a supporting role, much lighter than the promotional material, and fortunately not the same as the rest of the movie. So absurd and funny.
Did not choose to create a complete prequel and sequel, French director Cedric Sacco (previous work and assistant director of "Maleficent") and two screenwriters Craig Messing and Evan Spilioto ProLogis decided to make some different changes to this live-action fairy tale adaptation of the film, using the jump in time, so that those who are not familiar with the previous film can also get a relatively complete viewing experience. At the beginning of the film, the narration led by Liam Neeson took on this role to a large extent, introducing the character setting that has a weird connection with "Frozen", and other bad movie bridges.
Even if the translated name of "Hunter" on the other side of the earth has turned into a seemingly more dazzling, but actually more earthy "God of Hunting", the less experienced screenwriter and director once again proved that a large-scale production of a knife must have considerable experience in making movies. In order to have fun. The plot of the movie is horribly simple, almost at the level of the middle-aged school skit, and the number of scenes is even more horribly condensed. Of course, the movie also has some details worth watching, and the overall visual effect is also very pleasing to the eye, especially the climax passages are processed quite beautifully. But for a magical blockbuster with ideas, the exquisite appearance is far from enough. The characters must act logically and motivationally, and cannot be simply reduced to an entertainment tool like a low-level RPG game. We see that even the protagonist and the group of people in the movie are not able to find a sufficient reason to join this adventure, let alone the characters on the corners.
Good movies are never made up of famous actors. Otherwise, they will fall victim to political correctness just like the black hunter (Sope Dirisu) who has a high sense of existence but is useless in this film.
Cedric Sacco has extensive experience in visual effects, but unfortunately this part of experience cannot be transformed into the ability to tell stories. And this also means that his first choice in this film is the presentation of visual effects. Indeed, the cold scenery and the magical atmosphere created by CGI look quite gorgeous, and three-time Oscar Costume Design Award winner Colin Atwood also presented a luxurious costume feast for the film. The assistant Tim Burton's many years of senior designers have made the two queens look new and dazzling from image to temperament. However, all of these visual styles cannot be based on this unreliable and complex story. In "Winter War", you can see all kinds of foreign products: the art style of Disney animation, the character setting of "Game of Thrones" and even "The Hunger Games", and the action design of "The Hobbit". It is difficult to find a completely independent idea in this film-most of them are "borrowed" from other excellent fairy tale/fantasy adventure movies, and then remixed.
The reason why "Hunter: Winter War" is so unsatisfactory is largely because it lacks imagination, inspiration or excitement at all, and it is embarrassing everywhere. But this is not to say that it is not worth mentioning at all. If you are looking for some fairy tales for teenagers that are slightly more mature than the highly entertaining Dibaobao brand candy, and don't mind a bunch of 30+ or even 40+ uncles and aunts talking about love, you can naturally feast on it.
But if you want to see the three Oscar-level, best contemporary actresses in the same scene, please hurry up to thank Bumin-Charlize Theron (41) has "Mad Max: Fury Road", Amy Lee Blunt (33) has "Edge of Tomorrow", and Jessica Chastain (39) has more dramas of different styles waiting for you. Why waste on such shallow characters and stories.
As for one of Hollywood's hottest actors (33), it can't save this bone-chilling chill -
Come on, 33-year-old man and 39-year-old woman are childhood sweethearts raised by 33-year-old and 41-year-old sisters? Is this a weird ethical drama?
If it really is, maybe it's more reasonable.
