The adaptation of a game to a movie is usually a thankless task, because most of the game's story-even if the plot is very good, can not necessarily be changed into a good movie, or just keep the settings and leave it completely Play casually, and then accept the crazy verbal abuse from the fans of the fundamentalism, such as Resident Evil, or restore it relatively honestly, smash the cost and reluctantly reclaim it, or rush to the street.
The Angry Birds is different. This is a game with almost negligible plot of the original game. The pig snatches the bird's egg, and the angry birds attack the pig's home to take the egg back, plus its own. As a casual game, there are no enthusiastic fans. For the audience, at a glance, "The Angry Birds Movie" is just a full-age animation under the big IP, but there is the big IP of Angry Birds. Enough, after all, there have been countless non-DreamWorks Disney animations that have rushed to the street because they have no background.
The film can be said to complete its mission perfectly, and it tells a story while highly restoring the only elements of the game. Although the core of this story is very simple, I remember that the teacher once told one during my screenwriting class. The routine "the protagonist encounters difficulties, the protagonist overcomes his own shortcomings, the protagonist finally overcomes the difficulties", countless adventure stories are like this, this film is no exception, fortunately this is not annoying.
In the character setting, this film has changed the spherical bird in the game into a state of limbs that can walk upright, and in the following fragments, the birds restored the classic spherical shape-although we I am not a fan of Angry Birds, but I still feel very excited to see such a sincere restoration; the character’s appearance production level is also very high, as a layman, I don’t need to comment in more details, but it is closer than in "Crazy Zoo" Real hair, the birds in this film have a texture close to that of a plush toy. This is definitely more cost-effective, but each has its own advantages. The production level of this film is not top-notch but it is definitely excellent enough.
Due to its own family-friendly positioning, the film is also filled with laughs based on time. Although some translations in some places are too "down-to-earth" to appear a bit low, but the flaws are not concealed, the viewing experience of this film is still It's great, but because it's a movie for all ages, I'm afraid this is the movie with the most children in the cinema recently. I hope you can meet good children when you watch it.
As for adult audiences, there are countless tribute to classic Easter eggs embedded in this film, such as "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "The Shining". If you carefully observe it, you will find many interesting places.
In summary, this film is still a very recommended work in the recent weak movie market. After playing Angry Birds for so long, you may also be curious about the story behind each bird!
I’m watching the pre-watching-post dividing line. The
following content will involve spoilers. It is
recommended to watch the
story after watching the movie. It takes place on an isolated island where there are only birds-but they can’t fly. The only thing that can fly is only. The eagle that exists in the legend, the protagonist Fat Hong is the loneliest of all people. He lives alone by the sea far away from the city. He is very irritable. Sometimes people close to him will be affected by his bad temper. Scared away, no one would care about him over time.
At the beginning of the film, he was delivering a delivery cake, but he encountered various troubles on the way. Not only did he deliver the cake late, but also the squirrel stolen the cake. During the dispute with the recipient, he accidentally broke the family's egg—— The newly hatched premature baby bird recognized him as his father when he first saw him. The family was very angry and took him to court. In the court, Fat Hong still maintained his bad temper and made trouble in the court. As a result, he was sentenced to take an anger management course.
Here, he meets possibly his first, second and third friends, Chuck who runs fast and the bomb that explodes when he is angry-that is, the early game The two birds that appeared on the stage felt that the settings of these two characters refer to the fast silver and the Hulk in Marvel comics. Chuck can do everything very quickly. He can make a big fuss during the time when the police officer checks the speeding ticket. The police station will come back and pull a tuo on the head of the police officer... (I don’t know who will be the fastest with Police Officer Judy)
The bomb can’t control himself. When he gets emotional, it will explode. Friends once held it for him. As a result, his surprise party was blown into a mess.
There is also a classmate who is a big red. Maybe because I haven’t played the Angry Birds game for too long, I don’t know. Anyway, I haven’t seen him in the game. He looks very good. fierce.
It's just such a few weird people plus a stranger teacher-it's just like a bird version of the X-Men!
And one day, a foreign ship broke the tranquility of the island, and a group of green pigs with friendly flags came. Except for the fat infrared people, he was welcomed. On the one hand, it was because of the fat red’s natural personality that made him feel This group of pigs is suspicious. On the other hand, their boat destroyed the home on the Fat Red Sea-a house built entirely by him.
In order to figure out the conspiracy of the pig, Fat Hong and his friends tried to find the eagle that only existed in the legend. They climbed to the top of the legendary mountain, but found that it was not what they thought it was. In the end, everything was left on their own. , But it's too late.
Sure enough, the pigs had evil intentions. They organized a grand party to gather all the birds, and then secretly took all the eggs outside—take them back and eat them! When Pang Hong and his friends realized that it was too late to catch up, watching the pigs go away with all the eggs, the islanders apologized to Pang Hong and hoped that Pang Hong would take the eggs back as their leader.
So this time, Fat Hong in turn taught the other birds to be angry! With this anger, go to Pig Island to retrieve the eggs!
The pig and bird battle on the pig island is the most exciting part of the film. The flightless birds fly in the air with the slingshot brought by the pig! They attacked the Green Pig’s house (really similar to the one seen in the game!) and wanted to get back their eggs!
The ending was naturally a happy ending. Fat Hong, who successfully defeated the pig and snatched the egg, was finally accepted by the islanders. Everyone helped him repair the house and set it in the city center. He was no longer alone. A friend who was originally homeless finally lived with Fat Hong, and the three birds lived a happy life (?) The
story itself is like this, you can guess the follow-up development, but the performance itself is quite good, but The control of the rhythm of some of the scenes is a bit out of balance. The first half of the story is a little bit slow, especially the part of looking for the eagle. Fortunately, the last wonderful pig and bird battle has pulled back a lot of points. With the original game's features and guaranteed visibility, just that section is already worth the fare.
The characters of the protagonists and supporting characters in the film are somewhat thin. Except for the protagonist Fat Infrared, the rest of the characters are basically functional characters, especially in the first half of this year, compared with the excellent supporting characters in "Zoo City". It seems to be particularly prominent, but each animation cannot be required by the standards of Zootopia. At least this film is quite good for the protagonist.
At the beginning, only Fat Red bird was always angry, so he couldn't make friends and was not seen by other birds.
And in the final battle, when all the birds were angry, the critical moment was when he tried to suppress the anger in his heart (the beginning of the film was also exactly the same fragment of his anger, but that time failed, and the scarecrow died. It's miserable) wisely chose a reasonable tactic and defeated the pig.
At least in this routine, the protagonist's growth has been achieved. Although the process has not been experienced enough, this is where the script of the film needs to be improved. After all, due to cost reasons, animations are often better than live-action movies. In addition to reducing the requirements, the animation itself must also be carefully considered for the plot writing of the character transformation.
But speaking of it, after all, this film is only a family animation aimed at all ages. It’s the biggest goal to have fun. In this regard, this film is great, and for those who have played games, it’s very good. The restoration of some of the settings in the game, this aspect is also very satisfying, these are enough.
And there are countless cute birds for you to see, right?
