As a lighting entertainment that once gained fame as the "Despicable Me" series, although it still builds a visually impeccable fairy tale world for the new version of the animation "Green Haired Grinch", under the strong Christmas atmosphere, the movie The emptiness of the plot and the paleness of the characters make a journey that should have been full of quirks and become both conventional and inferior.

The "Christmas Geek" starring Kim Carrey is in the front, which is an adaptation of a film that was not successful enough. After a lapse of eighteen years, the "Green Haired Grinch" has not been able to come out of the blue. But better than blue, on the contrary, the new work hardly comes up with any ideas that can be eye-catching. Even in terms of characters, the animated image of the new version of Grinch is more acceptable than the real-life image in "Christmas Monsters" at first glance. , But it's hard to compare the deep impression given to this role by Kim Carey in the past.

In the creation of "Green Haired Grinch", it is not difficult to see that the film has adapted the idea of ​​"Despicable Me". Faced with the same proposition that bad guys turn from bad to good, the movie seems to turn Gru into Green. Odd, turning the little yellow man into a puppy and a fat deer, but the character given to Grinch in the movie does not have much real soul. Whether he is withdrawn or his transformation, it gives people the most intuitive feeling. That is, it only completed the task according to the script set by the plot. The sudden change of personality makes it difficult for people to bring emotions into it, and it lacks the depth it deserves.

There is no fascinating worldview that can go beyond the imagination. This is another particularly serious problem in the movie apart from the characters. The world created by this film for the audience is a utopia in which everyone is perfect except Grinch’s gloom. The overly ideal presentation makes the film lack the most basic dramatic tension from beginning to end, which directly leads to The problem is that everything shown in the movie appears to be so mediocre, making it essentially an uninspired Christmas story. In the end, what can please is only the momentary favor of school-age children.

The core of love, the excellent production, and the friendly exit of the Minions before the opening, all make "Green Haired Grinch" an animation suitable for children, but under the mediocre plot, this too sweet Christmas candy , But there is a big distance from a family work that is really suitable for all ages.
