Jackie Chan is still Brother Long, but the country is no longer

This is a story of "Dragon Head" (the thief group headed by Jackie Chan) saving "Dragon Head" (the dragon head in the zodiac of Yuanmingyuan). Watching the big brother Jackie Chan roll down the mountain from the active crater at an illegal speed, holding the dragon head with all his heart, I really admire the professionalism of this man in his sixties. As the last big scene of this film, the volcano seems to indicate that Jackie Chan's eldest brother, who is known for his real guns and live ammunition, has been ruthlessly submerged by nature.

In this film, there are three impressive scenes. The first two scenes are the French manor labyrinth and the search for the "Indestructible" battleship of the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the Russian girl "Laura". These two bridge segments recreate Jackie Chan's classic funny kung fu films, the framing is eye-catching, and the burden is also new. In the labyrinth of the manor, the line said by the eldest brother who chose the escape route amused many people. He commanded the French dog in Chinese and did not cause any harm to the dog during the escape process, showing Jackie Chan's loving side. Later, when the group took "Laura" to the deserted island to find her great-great-great-grandfather's "Indestructible" battleship, they met the five buddies who had forged a beam before, plus a group of pirates. Work hard and contribute to the funniest part of the film. As for the third impressive scene, everyone carefully looked at the end credits... I think this is because there are too few impressive jokes in the feature film, so let's find a way to console.

In the various trailers released by the official, the high-tech equipment is so eye-catching that many viewers call this big production the Chinese version of "Mission Impossible". Of course, Jackie Chan also positioned "Zodiac" as the "Chinese Zodiac" A movie comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster. Unfortunately, the whole game has been lost from the equipment. Shortly after the opening of the main feature, there is a section of making fake animal heads. Is it a tribute to the "mask maker" in "Mission Impossible 4"? In addition, other equipment is basically invented by his apprentice, the equipment engineer of "Mission Impossible 4". Oh yes, only the roller skating outfit with wheels all over the body at the beginning of the main film is a bit new, but the audience's attention was taken away by Zhang Lanxin's long legs.

Americans are very savvy when it comes to filmmaking. They invented a new type of film: the commercial blockbuster. In the golden age of Jackie Chan, it has not yet appeared, and now it is everywhere. This kind of film based on computer special effects and large scenes can obviously allow the audience to obtain a high-quality audio-visual experience, so it is worth spending money on the cinema. Obviously, in "The Zodiac", Jackie Chan did put in 12 points of energy, and it was very hard to go to heaven and earth, but for the audience, the camera was not very good, so that this Chinese blockbuster, and the American blockbuster. In comparison, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Times have changed, and while high-tech movies have gradually become mainstream, our aesthetics of appreciating things have also changed. Real knives and real guns have become a thing of the past. Just like the slaughter of the British and French forces, if they entered the Yuanmingyuan with knives and guns, they might not be able to take away even the glass slag in front of 40,000 people with real knives and real guns, let alone the head of the beast. But the foreigners are all using machine guns and cannons, and we still think of rushing forward to beat him without leaving a piece of armor, so we can only turn the magic into a rotten rhythm.

    Brother, you are really old. You pay more and more attention to preaching and forget that the movie itself is storytelling. This movie is better than Wang's Feast, but it is really incomparable than Mission Impossible 4.
