Vampire Darren Mountain: It's a mountain-breaking work, and the axe is not well polished!

There is too much resentment between the "Vampire Darren Mountain" and the "Little Wizard Harry Potter". Darren Mountain, the author of Dracula, and JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, are both famous by the same expert. Then, Harry Potter, who took the lead in launching an offensive in 1997, took the lead and seized all the limelight. The "vampire" who came out a few years later can only look at the "little wizard" and sigh.
In fact, this series of novels is also quite exciting. In December 2001, "Vampire" finally won the Sheffield Children's Book Award. One year later, the "Vampire" rose to fame. As a result, within a year, I traveled through the rivers and lakes, traveled to nearly 30 countries and regions, wherever he went, he repeatedly appeared on the bestseller lists. Bestseller list etc. In addition, the readers who love "Vampire" are not only children. A survey shows that 40% of them are young people over the age of 20 or older people (which can also be regarded as fulfilling the author's wish-working hard to build a generation gap. Build a bridge), among them, in Japan, women in their 20s and 30s make up a large proportion of those who like him.
In this series, I have read 1-4. The plot of the first one is relatively flat compared to the latter, but in the latter steps, the climax is repeated, full of whimsical ideas; compared with Harry Potter, Darren Mountain joins With more emotional entanglements and clues, it is richer than Harry Potter's single-line slayer legend. At the same time, it reads a kind of Chinese martial arts charm, adding the meaning of chivalrous tenderness and heroic struggle. In short, each has its own merits!
However, speaking of this movie, from the publicity campaign to the final fan response, the expected results were not achieved. Even as the first one, this axe is really not very profitable! ~The
opening title is great: a teenager lying in an underground coffin and playing a game console! The design of this scene is very eye-catching. The performance of the circus of the strange man in the middle is also bizarre, but the final fighting scene is inevitably suspected of being a dog! Don’t say whether the game is not exciting, the scene is not grand, and the action design is too ugly! The four actors moved their hands and feet at random for ten minutes, and the only climax of this movie ended in a bland and unremarkable way! Wouldn't it be necessary to walk out of the cinema before getting up HIGH? The investment in this movie is not small, but where did the money go?
In the original book, when STEVEN did not appear as the leader of the Gorefiend until the old one (I forgot the first one), I was shocked: it was him! However, the movie puts out the original big suspense in the first episode like a street stall. I really want to ask WHY? Is it to give this little actor more chances to show his face? (It turns out that the money used for the best climax was spent on the actor's pay!!!) With
such a low box office return, I don't know if this unfavorable axe can open a way for the next few sequels. . . . . Don't just die!

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant quotes

  • Darren Shan: Just because I'm a vampire doesn't mean I'm bloodthirsty. It's not about what you are. It's about who you are.

  • Darren Shan: [leaving his family for the second time] Will it work, hypnotizing them?

    Larten Crepsley: It works on the memories but not on the emotions. Not really. They'll always feel that you're still alive somehow.

    Darren Shan: Well, that's good, right?

    Larten Crepsley: Is it?
