"Raging Behemoth" has already won the box office of 353 million yuan. The terrible thing is that until "Avengers 3: Infinity War" released on May 11, this period is almost a blank period for popcorn blockbusters. Giving "Raging Behemoth" a good opportunity, the box office trend is relatively optimistic.
However, the popularity of movies is not always positively correlated with word of mouth.
"Raging Behemoth" is just the kind of ordinary commercial movie that has no sense of existence. It is neither excellent nor heinous.
It is a real brainless movie.
No brain refers to its plot.
The production team seems to know very well what they are trying to do. They did not work hard on the plot, and strived for depth and criticality. They wrote scripts that couldn't be more routine. The characters could not be labelled, and they even forced their IQ to go offline.
Dashi Johnson plays a primatologist in the film, who rescued a gorilla with albinism, George, during a capture and poaching operation. The relationship between the two goes beyond the limit of species, and they are close like friends.
The evil capitalism made some entrepreneurs ignorant of their conscience and graduated with weapons, and accidentally contaminated several animals with their research, including George.
In the movie, three bottles of research objects were packed in the same box and returned to Earth because the spacecraft was blown up. How did they fly to different places and hit the United States at the same time, and all animals inhaled the gas.
This kind of beginning is basically regarded as a kind of reminder to let the audience put down their IQ to watch the movie.
I even wonder if it would be more interesting to switch to human inhalation, but this movie does not have such ambitions.
Orangutans, wolves and crocodiles after eating this "super serum" have become taller and mighty like Captain America, more aggressive, and can combine the advantages of other species to make changes. Alligators look like pigs, and wolves can Fly, the orangutan has enhanced its self-repair function.
The U.S. military appears in the movie as it used to be like scraps in science fiction films. It is blindly confident in itself and will only bombard wildly. If it can't be solved in the end, it wants to throw a bomb to wipe out half of Chicago.
The last thing that saves the world can only be the common American personal heroism.
Although Dashi Johnson's character is set as a scientist, his origin is a well-trained soldier, and he personally tells people not to have the stereotype of "well-developed limbs and simple mind".
Having a Rock Johnson is equivalent to Captain America having the mind of Iron Man. He must be invincible in the world. All you have to do is to lie down and watch how he saves the world.
After saving the world, we still need to sublimate. Don't be disappointed in human nature.
But in the movie, the character of Dashi Johnson's disappointment with humanity is that he doesn't date beautiful women and is angry after finding out that he has been cheated.
I express my real name to express my disappointment with the screenwriter. Like us, young people with secondary illnesses like us are disappointed in human nature because they want to destroy the world, okay?
Let's talk about the coolness of "Raging Behemoth".
It is very exciting and memorable different from "Ready Player One" in that it reaches a visual climax in those few seconds.
Coincidentally, "Raging Behemoth" is also a movie based on the game of the same name. This game basically has no plot at all. The gameplay is to control three giant beasts to destroy high-rise buildings and avoid the attacks of human troops.
The three monsters in the film are not as tall as the monsters in the "Pacific Rim" series, but they are based on the familiar animals-orangutans, wolves, and crocodiles. It is easy to inspire fear in people's hearts.
Believe it or not, think about the destruction of New York City by somehow alien monsters in "Avengers".
The visual impact of this film is well done, with a lot of bloody and violent scenes, directly smashing airplanes, swallowing living people in blood, and tanks in the hands like toys.
It is said that flying a plane is very cliché, but it is indeed a tried and true trick.
The trick of "Raging Behemoth" lies in this. Knowing that literary drama is a shortcoming, so try to minimize the presence of this part and maximize the visual effects. The story of the B-level film, the scenes of the A-level film, the word-of-mouth and box office results It will not be too ugly.
With the copyright of many movies in its hands, Warner Bros. has also learned a trick to bury easter eggs in the movie to increase the fun, such as ridiculing the "Negan" played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Oh no, government agent. Is it from the Justice League?
Well, although he is not a member of the Justice League, Morgan is the man who played Batman's father, and also starred in the DC comic book "Watchmen".
Taken together, "Raging Behemoth" is such a futile, good or bad popcorn movie.
If "Number One" is a top commercial movie, and "Pacific Rim 2" is a garbage commercial movie, then "Raging Behemoth" is the balance in the middle-it can't be an ordinary commercial movie, whether you watch it or not, it Earn his box office right there.
I just don’t know if the "Godzilla vs. King Kong" co-produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, will the two classic monster IP fight each other be such an ordinary movie?
