Under the shroud of the Disney movie "Invincible Destruction King 2", "Agent Bean 3" was quietly released in China.
The "Agent Bean" series is regarded as the theatrical version of "Mr. Bean", but because Mr. Bean can "talk" in it, it does not look as authentic as the TV series. Compared with the ordinary version, the special agent series naturally has some more exciting and thrilling scenes. Although it can be seen that the crew is working hard to do their best in this regard, the production of "Agent Bean 3" is really not "agent". After base camp, we can see the obvious green screen mosaic effect behind them, a scene that seems to transport the audience back to the early 2000s when the water surface CG of "The Incredibles" looked like a layer of blueberry jelly.
The return of the British comedian feels like Jackie Chan and Liam Neeson are coming back to film action scenes, with a sense of mission of "Return of Lian Po". Although he is over 60 years old and is not an action actor, he does not need some special action skills. All kinds of props are enough: "pen bomb", "candy cannonball", wall climbing equipment, The successive appearances of all kinds of equipment seem to make the audience enter a demonstration class of agent equipment, but the display of novel props is no longer a plus point for the agent movie. On the contrary, now in special agent films, the human nature of the protagonist is more sought after. And the lighthearted rhythm, with jokes that the audience can easily guess, also proves that the ambition of "Beanstalk 3" is just a weekend entertainment movie that entertains the public. Therefore, it is not surprising that the plot is full of loopholes and some stupid behaviors made by the villains.
The biggest motif in the film is the conflict between "new technology" and "old skills". The former is represented by the "big data" that Jack Lacey is good at, while the latter represents the traditional spirit of an old-fashioned agent like Bean. This was actually discussed in "Agent Bean 2" (this film was not released in China because the prime minister of a certain country appeared in it) - the conclusion is that Jiang is still old and spicy, from helicopters to armored knights, traditional sports cars When it comes to VR, what is inseparable is the collision of trends and traditions. There's a segment in the film where Mr. Bean uses VR to venture out into the world, perhaps the middle way of the matter today.
Our Rowan Atkinson has a bunch of cute secret agent kids in the movie, but it's a pity that these kids don't play any role in promoting the plot in the movie. But I can also understand the setting of the crew. If you want to make the children team up to fight for no reason, if the effect is good, it can become an inspirational film of "Super Marines", but if the effect is not good, it may become "Famous" "Detective Conan"'s "Youth Detective Group", each character's personality and psychology also need to spend a certain amount of effort to figure out. Therefore, when the roles are vaguely defined and the movie format is not large, these children have become tasteless existences.
At the end of the film, Mr. Bean returned to school to continue his teaching (xun) books (lian) affairs (gong) career (zuo), and the movie ended with a "Mr. Bean"-style laugh. I don't know if Bean will come back to meet the audience in the future. Hopefully, when he returns next time, he can figure out the use of language and take an easy-to-remember pseudonym. As for acting, what more could an audience ask for when this skill has become a unique signature of the actor?
