Another disappointing "Special Forces"

After hitting the streets with two "Special Forces" in a row, Paramount decided to make it, like Transformers, a "soft restart" in a single-player storytelling mode. However, the snake eyes that lead the line make people unable to complain.

First of all, as an action movie, the fight scenes are one of the worst I've seen in years. Leaving aside a few scenes that are too obvious to pose and wear the gang, at the beginning of the gang fight at the dock, facing the encirclement and suppression of dozens of people, a few scenes were quickly passed to tell the audience that they were finished. The only thing that shows they actually beat dozens of people is the lines.

After entering the ninja gang, the scene of the ninja practice appeared for less than 1 minute. There were three tests. The first one put Iko Uwais in charge, and the result was a big reunion; the second demon saw his dead father and did not fight. ; The third one saw three boa constrictors and died of impure heart. Ninjas used to rely on their mouths to escape until now, and Naruto honestly didn't deceive me.

The next few fight scenes are also lackluster. The old lady's fan pose is too obvious. It is obviously a ninja family. In the end, except for a smoke bomb, which is a bit ninja-like, most of the time is the level of gang fights. I'm afraid it's not as good as young and dangerous. blood. The last meal, Tutu Tu, let the python come out to eat the villain, and everyone was happy.

In terms of characters, I don't have much to say about Henry Goulding's casting. He looks like Chow Yun-fat. The greatest significance of the existence of the baroness and the redhead is to remind everyone that this is a GIJoe, and it is really not as impressive as a cobra logo.

Comparing the action scenes and the characters, the plot is quite satisfactory. Except for the fact that both of them have been cultivated by the master since childhood, they have basically remained online. At least the suspense of why the white ghost turned against the water and why the two turned against each other has remained. But the biggest regret is that it didn't explain why Snake Eyes never spoke at the end, I guess it's probably because the helmet has a mute function.

It is said that special forces, like Transformers, are one of the indelible memories of my childhood. I still remember the combination of Commander Cobra and Destro. As a result, after so many years in the movie, I was stunned that the two had never cooperated in the form of a mask + an iron face. Cobra will always be the organization that lives in the legend.

The first special forces movie came out with the residual heat of Transformers. Although the box office was not very good, it was really the best in popcorn in my eyes. Whenever I couldn't find a movie, I opened the special forces and watched it. 15 minutes. It’s the kind of film that no matter where you start and where you end, you won’t have any viewing obstacles, and there are first-class special effects blessings – the shot that melts the Eiffel Tower is definitely no less than in my opinion. Terrorists bombed the White House. Really great popcorn.

The second part basically has no sense of existence. Duke hangs up when he comes up. Snake Eye, who should be the main force, encounters a huge stone with strong personal charm. The special effect of the foundation of life is an existence that disappears from everyone.

As a result, this one came out, alas. GIJoe is still living in the cartoon, don't come out and whip the corpse
