Leave one star to impress childhood

For the 01 film, for me, memories and feelings accounted for most of the emotions of watching this film.

I had nothing to do today and relived this movie.

The film I watched in my childhood has become blurred in my memory, and the only impression left is the handsome figure of Jet Li. But when the movie started, Jet Li’s drooping hair and large suits were not as handsome as remembered, just like watching this movie from the current perspective, it is no longer as "perfect" as before.

Yes, looking at this movie with current eyes, not only is it not "perfect", it also has many shortcomings. So but from a movie perspective, I probably gave this movie to Samsung.

There are many grooves in the plot of the movie. For example, watching the police perform the death sentence and killing people, but there is no response (seriously I think the beginning part of the plot is meaningless, and it is so mysterious). Everyone in France speaks English; most of the bad guys No guns were used at the time; bad policemen slaughtered in public and did not respond; they were too plain to the heroine who was infected with drugs, and many places were too casual with explanations. In the end, Jet Li broke into the police station without weapons and so on.

But I want to come to Dragon Kiss is not a movie that attracts audiences with plot logic. I think the director has set a good position from the beginning, just want to make a good-looking action movie. And this goal has indeed been achieved. And it happened to meet the Chinese element of Jet Li, and the "mysterious" Chinese acupuncture technology was added, which gave this film a bright spot. Although this acupuncture technology seems to be too omnipotent, almost to the point of sensationalism, it is not Preventing it from becoming another attraction beside Jet Li's actions, especially the final setting of "Dragon Kiss", although it was fabricated, but seeing the bad guys "dead tragically" in this way, for the audience, there are still some Kind of pleasant feeling.

On the other hand, Jet Li's "action" did not disappoint the director, because as an audience, Jet Li's actions have never disappointed. Although Jet Li’s actions in this film are not as gorgeous and unrestrained as Huang Feihong’s, they are simple and neat, and are more in line with his identity as a police officer. Although the film is not “good-looking” in the fights of the big scenes (I always feel that the design of these big scenes) Too deliberate, but underperformance.) But overall, the viewing is still very strong.

Finally, I will talk about acting skills. The roles Jet Li has played (especially in Hollywood) are generally that kind of cold feeling. I personally think that this is related to Jet Li’s appearance. Jet Li looks very heroic and cool. Therefore, most of Jet Li's roles are also like this: policeman, killer and so on. This movie is the same. Jet Li has never laughed in this film, of course, this is related to the character and plot (if you are framed, can you laugh when you are chased and killed all the time?), but the lack of expression does not mean poor acting skills , Of course, can’t be said as good. Because the film itself does not give Jet Li too much room for acting (the flaws in the plot make it difficult for the actors to have emotional input, plus this is an action movie in itself), Jet Li is able to show his super police It is already qualified to show the goodness of the heart while being capable.

Finally, as the third well-known Chinese movie star to break into Hollywood, Jet Li has continued to break new ground in foreign countries. I think this is worthy of our admiration.

But as far as film reviews are concerned, feelings should not be too much to influence the evaluation of movies. I only use this extra star this time, dedicated to my childhood impressions, dedicated to Jet Li, and also dedicated to my first film review.
