Today, I went to see " Escape Plan 2: Hades ", which has been a sequel for several years and has more Chinese actors. It is reminiscent of " Independence Day 2: Comeback " the year before and this year's "Pacific Rim: Thunder" Restart".
Generally speaking, there are three main points to distinguish bad films:
1. See if there is a sequel that pops up over the years
(like Independence Day 2: Comeback)
2. See if there is any Chinese capital (such as Transformers 4 or Independence Day 2: Comeback)
3. See if there are Anju La Cup Bi, Huang Xiaoming and Jing Tian
(like the Great Wall, Pacific Rim 2 or Independence Day 2: The Comeback)
The show fits all.
Speaking of " Escape Plan" is definitely a classic. The combination of the two old-school tough guys Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone , and although there are not many fighting scenes, there are wonderful wit battles . I probably rewatched the first episode five or six times. When the second episode was previewed, I was overly looking forward to it. Although the governor was missing, Stallone was still there, and there was Dave Bautista, who had a small but impressive role in " Blade Runner 2049 " . At that time, I wanted to say that I must go to the cinema to support it after the release. I didn’t expect to see a negative comment under the message a few days before the release . It turns out that the Internet already has resources, but of course I am not the kind of person who promotes piracy. Everything else is genuine, so I went to the cinema to see how ugly it was .
After watching it, I just want to find a seam to dig in. I don't know where the wonderful wits of the first episode went, and this film can only be viewed as a good film. The plot roughly tells that Huang Xiaoming, Stallone's apprentice, was framed and caught in a high-tech prison 'underworld', so Stallone returned to the arena and found Dave Batista's help, ready to go in and save his disciple. The plot is very simple, and the villains are super easy to guess. Because it is a high-tech prison, the protagonists also rely on hacking to escape from prison. The two tough guys I expect have a pitiful few scenes , probably less than one-third.
( I just want to say: Huang Xiaoming is the protagonist .) He has that handsome face from beginning to end, with an occasional ecstasy smile, that acting is really not good, Dave Bautista is basically that cruel face, anyway Come play hard.
Although Stallone has not many scenes, he seems to have become a spiritual mentor. When Huang Xiaoming is sitting in meditation, the teachings that Stallone has said will continue to ring in his mind. If the actor is replaced by Morgan Freeman, it looks similar to Animal Channel. In one episode, the escape master turned into Zenyatta or Jesus. The setting is also very powerful, but seriously, the beginning of teaching Huang Xiaoming through Go is very novel and unexpectedly brilliant.
Compared with the first episode, this episode has more martial arts clips. Most of these clips are contracted by Huang Xiaoming, but every time the camera shakes so much that I think I'm watching "The Cloverfield File ", maybe I want to say that the camera shakes so much The audience can't tell if there is a substitute (I really can't tell). It is said that Huang Xiaoming taught Stallone to speak dialect at the beginning of the film, and Qingdao dialect played a crucial role later, and I had to sigh at the breadth and depth of China.
At the beginning, Huang Xiaoming showed off his Wing Chun boxing. He hit a wooden stake in a pitch black and numb darkness. When he saw that part, it really hurt. When he finished a set, it was no longer painful. It turned out to be broken. To put it simply, the play is really not good-looking. Although there are many action scenes to support it, the plot lacks a sense of surprise, and the actors also lack character characterization. Most of them are responsible for the role of plot tools. It's ok to watch it as an entertaining movie. After all, there are gun battles, car chases, and martial arts scenes that are smooth but smooth, but if you are like me, you are a viewer who likes to watch wits to give you the illusion that you are very smart. , you will only feel disappointed, compared to "The Incredibles 2 " a few days ago
" Escape Plan 2: Hades " is really ugly and obviously wants to make money in the Chinese market. As for how the filmmakers have the courage to shoot the third episode of "Escape Plan 3: The Devil's Station" , there is a sentence that Mr. Lu Xun said: "How can I be so special? knowledge"
