It is said that "Percy Jackson and the Sacred Thieves" is a best-selling book in the United States, and it is also a series of best-selling books, known as the next "Harry Potter" series. After watching the movie, what I want to say is: Regardless of whether it is a book or a movie, let's catch up with the "Chronicles of Narnia" series.
Although the film’s story type and cast are completely copied from the "Harry Potter" series to an American version, even the director is the director of the first two parts of the "Harry Potter" series. Chris Columbus, but "Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief" finally turned the whole movie into a copycat "Harry Potter" with its pale and empty story.
As a youth campus genre made out of thin air based on Greek mythology, the film "Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief" is a simple and rude to Greek mythology. In the end, it can only be described as terrible. 'S story: A teenager discovered his extraordinary life experience because of an unexpected call, and he responded to the call and embarked on an adventure journey, and finally grew into a hero.
As a classic story mode of youth growth, the biggest mistake made by "Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief" is that it thinks that if it gets a good cookbook, it thinks it can be a good cook. With the same story mode, "Star Wars" and "Kung Fu Panda" can conquer hundreds of millions of audiences around the world, but this film can only allow the audience to watch the watch impatiently in the cinema, and pray that the two-hour movie can give it at the last moment. Surprise them until they are completely desperate at the moment the subtitles rise.
As a work product produced on the Hollywood assembly line, "Percy Jackson and the Sacred Fire Thief" will be boring even for many domestic audiences who have been ravaged and tested by bad movies. In addition to the lack of narrative skills of the film itself, the Greek mythological setting based on the film's story has also set a not high or low threshold for domestic audiences.
For those who are familiar with Greek mythology, the background of Greek mythology involved in "Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief" is intolerable-elegant and romantic Greek mythology is interpreted by this group of half-size boys Not to mention the hormonal surplus of American high school life, the setting of the whole story is so rough, so that viewers who know a little about Greek mythology feel that there are many loopholes. For those audiences who don’t understand Greek mythology, although the protagonist’s opportunity to take lessons is often used in the movie to quickly popularize the ABC of Greek mythology, this poor basic common sense is not helpful for the audience to understand the world view of the whole story.
For popcorn movies, "simple mind and well-developed limbs" generally means that although they do not have any clever narrative skills and profound themes, they have a strong star lineup or visual special effects. If you use this standard to measure "Percy Jackson and the Sacred Fire Thieves", it only has "simple mind", and it doesn't even catch the tragic comment of "well-developed limbs".
As a fantasy film that focuses on the youth market, the special effects scenes of this film can only be described in general. The two-hour movie does not give any fresh visual creativity. It is entirely a piece of "Lord of the Rings". Copy the special effects picture, and then find a bunch of American high school students COSPLAY "Harry Potter" + "Troy". "Percy Jackson and the Sacred Fire Thieves" is so unpretentious, let alone becoming the successor of the "Harry Potter" series, it is estimated that even the "Chronicles of Narnia" series will not be able to catch up, and it is very likely that it will eventually become another "Dragon Knight" died halfway (if anyone remembers this movie).
