Originally, I only knew of a song "Zodiac" sung by Leehom Wang (to be honest, the song is not very good), but I accidentally found a biography about Bai Luna, the title of the book is probably "Learn to be China" People", when I saw the movie she participated in, I suddenly got interested and wanted to make up for the old man's movie. I spent half an evening watching it, and briefly explained my understanding and opinions.
Because the positioning is comedy and action, the general action scenes explode, the laughs are properly laid, the characters are portrayed, and the inner emotional twists and turns are in place, and it is basically OK. Unfortunately, most of the film only achieves the first point.
Fighting is still the strong point of Cheng Laozi. The fighting scenes in the whole film are also very open, and they are full of Jackie Chan's characteristics: relying on the environment and equipment to create various parkour-like scenes, it is really enjoyable to watch. In the last clip, he doesn't seem to need a substitute to play all kinds of falls and falls in person. You must know that he is over half a hundred years old. This kind of professionalism and status quo is often represented by someone who can't memorize lines for martial arts and can't recite crazy pictures. The fresh meat actors are in stark contrast. Helpless, fighting alone is not enough to support a film. The biggest problem in the whole film is the inner transformation of the protagonist, which can only be described as inexplicable. Imagine an international thief who enters the sky and enters the ground seven times. A person who studied ancient cultural relics was persuaded by a few words. The following series of factories saving people and volcanic looting seemed extremely pale, forcing the main theme and the main theme. There is nothing wrong with the main melody, and patriotism should indeed be our number one basic quality, but what the movie shows is too rigid and forced to inject, thus losing the character portrayal of the character. At the same time, the acting skills of several actors can't bear to look directly. The heroine, the second and the third can all be described as appalling. In addition, the script did not do some detailed characterizations of the hearts of the supporting characters, resulting in the characters' tone is all a piece of paper. Can't stand up at all. It can be seen that the director also wants to arrange all the characters of the thief team to the family relationship, but the result is self-defeating, the whole process is particularly chaotic, optional.
In fact, the rhythm was pretty good at the beginning, chasing on the mountain road, stealing from the ancient castle, and although the scenes on the jungle side started to take a detour, they were also for the protagonist in the main line to find treasures. , the turning point is on the way back, COCO preached, the gold bars fell, a super thief who was mercenary and disappeared without a trace suddenly realized the righteousness of the family and the country, and kept the last gold bar, and then suddenly changed the taste. It's enough to fight.... Such a hard injury is really unsatisfactory.
The conclusion is that the fighting is enjoyable, the scenes are okay, the plot is nonsense, the acting skills are average, the characters are basically not portrayed, and finally the main theme is forced. Overall, for Jackie Chan's sake, I can barely give 3 stars.
