In view of this, I want to risk being dusted by the majority of DC, and first express a clear point:
"X Task Force" is a failed movie.
Well, I said it.
Why did you come to this conclusion?
Needless to say word of mouth. Five days after its release, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes of "X Task Force" has fallen to 26%, which is the same as DC's shameful work "Green Lantern".
There are many comments that film critics are deliberately discrediting DC movies. Do you think the audience rating is as high as 71%? This is the voice of the fans!
That's right.
However, if you make a horizontal comparison, 71% of the audience's praise rating is equal to the worst "Invincible Hulk" in the Marvel Universe series. Even the criticized masterpiece "Reunion 2" by the opposite Marvel last year, the audience praised as high as 84%.
Several well-received works of Marvel, including "Reunion 1", "Mei Team 2", "Mei Team 3", "Guardians of the Galaxy"...the audience rating is above 90%.
In summary, at least in my opinion, the word-of-mouth failure of Task Force X is an indisputable fact.
In terms of the box office, "Task Force X" scored $135 million in the box office during its first weekend, breaking the North American record for the opening of August. This also seems to be a dazzling performance.
However, in the same horizontal comparison, the opening box office of "Suicide Squad X" is $30 million less than that of "Batman vs. Superman" at the beginning of the year. Moreover, like "Bat Super", which has the same reputation, "Task Force X" is facing a serious shortage of box office stamina.
(The final North American box office of "Bat Super" was lost to "Deadpool". Using the Chinese IP analogy, it is probably the big movie "Monkey Goku vs. Nezha", which means that the box office lost to "Legend of Lei Zhenzi"...)
Also That is to say, the "squad" may not be able to hit the street at the box office, but it is inevitable that it will not be able to achieve the expected box office results like "Bat Super" because of the impact of such serious bad reviews.
I actually used such a long space to explain my conclusion... It seems that I am still very afraid of being sprayed.
The following is the text:
What is the problem with the movie "Suicide Squad"?
----------The following content is entirely out of my personal perception of being unprofessional and slightly spoiled-----------
In my opinion, "Task Force X" (hereinafter referred to as "Squad") is not "bad", it is just extremely "mediocre". The concrete manifestation is that the whole viewing process makes me feel very boring.
Objectively speaking, "Squad" tells a complete story that everyone can understand. However, the character's emotions and the promotion of the storyline are very blunt, there are no brilliant smiles and ignition points, and no tension can be created throughout the process.
If there is no expectation for the film, then I might say that the film is "qualified"; but because the "Squad" has established a very high expectation value before the film is released, the final quality of the film will inevitably make people feel "disappointed".
From the perspective of the movie itself, there are big problems with the characters and story of "Squad".
The characters should have been the selling point of the film. A group of charismatic villains are forced to do dirty work for the government. In the process of completing the task, there will be infighting with no bottom line. It is exciting to think about it.
As a result, after watching the movie, I found out that this is a bad guy. This is obviously a group of obedient students. The whole movie does not show where they are so bad.
For example, one of the main characters, the death shooter, is a mercenary who kills after receiving the money, and he is born into a loving father. I thought I was watching "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
The emotional advancement of the characters is also very nonsensical. A group of big wicked people suddenly fell in love with each other after not staying together for long.
Halfway through the fight, we went to the bar to have a drink and chat for a while, and then decided to save the world. Not convincing at all.
Another problem is that due to too many characters, the film needs to introduce each character and show their characteristics in addition to storytelling.
The opposite Marvel used several movies to do the work, and "Squad" tried to "one in place." The end result is not only makes the movie seem fragmented and chaotic, but also fails to show the interaction between the characters. Characters such as the Boomerang Captain and Katana, who have a weak sense of existence, almost failed to show their abilities.
By the way, there are clowns. I almost forgot to say clowns depending on me...
Master Leto’s clown should have been one of the most anticipated characters in the film. As a result, in "Squad", his sense of existence has been so low that all his scenes have been deleted, and it will not have any impact on the whole plot.
Master Leto actually played the ghostly clown quite well. It's a pity that in "Squad", the clown has become an adjunct to the clown girl's role. Every time he appears he is basically "Harry, Harry, I love you, go home with the ugly man"... the
ugly man is mixed up like this, It's really heartbreaking...
Harley Quinn is indeed the highlight of the film. But this is basically taking advantage of the personality: crazy and amorous, coupled with the interpretation of the character actress Margot Robbie, it is difficult to think of it. However, don't forget, there is another female character in the film: Carla Delevingne's interpretation of the enchanting witch.
This Carla Delevingne, previously the most popular supermodel in Britain, participated in two Victoria's Secret underwear shows. In "Squad", she also sells good meat.
Unfortunately, the two heavyweight sexy actresses both sold meat and failed to save the movie. It's actually quite sad.
Let me talk about the story of this film.
"Squad" director David Aye said in an interview with "Empire" magazine before: "In the past, those superhero movies were always fighting against alien robot villains from inexplicable planets. They set a countdown. Before the weapon destroys the earth. But seriously, who the fuck cares?"
Congratulations, Aye, you made a superhero movie that no one fucking cares about yourself. Because the final battle of "Squad" was against the inexplicable witch villain, before she built a big machine to destroy the earth.
Moreover, the two witch brothers and sisters with great skills, facing a group of pistols and baseball bats, they fought hand-to-hand for a long time, and they were both killed by bombs...
Uh, are you serious? ...
In the same interview, Aye also said that "Task Force X" is a story about struggle, alienation and rebirth at the same time.
Hong Kong Zhen, I didn't see it at all.
The movie does highlight the struggle of the team members. For example, the death shooter has been thinking about his daughter, and the Balrog has been regretting that he has killed his family out of control.
But these wicked people have never been alienated. As mentioned above, it didn't take long to stay together and they fell in love with each other.
Rebirth is even more blind.
The death shooter finally decided to risk his life to save the world. His reason was: I want my daughter to feel that her father is not a bastard who only does bad things.
My psychological activity at the time was: What the hell...
If you have this kind of awareness to be a model daddy, then don’t be a killer...
Even if you say that I want to protect the world in which my daughter lives, it’s more convincing. .
In the end, the Balrog chose to sacrifice himself in order to do the boss. The reason he went to fight was: I have lost a family, and I don't want to lose another one.
My psychological activity at the time was: What the hell...
You guys will become family members after two days of knowing each other? Will your deceased family be happy to hear that...
Generally speaking, I know that the movie wants to show the changes in the protagonists, but the reasons for these changes are really so young and unconvincing.
Therefore, the main line of the whole movie is: villains appear in the world, a group of villains who are superficially sinful but actually good young men are forced by the government to fight bosses. The world will be a better tomorrow...
Uh, are you serious? ……
-----------The dividing line at the end----------
No matter how dissatisfied or disdainful DC fans are to the movie's evaluation, the disappointment of "Squad" is already The fact that cannot be refuted.
Regardless of the reason, the current situation of "Squad" is really sad. Because the successive failures of "Bat Super" and "Squad" will definitely have an impact on the future development of the DC movie universe.
If next year's "Justice League" and "Wonder Woman" hit the street again, DC's prospects are really worrying.
This is something we don't want to see.
I don't know what else to say...I sincerely hope that Warner can make good use of DC's many great IPs in the next movies.
If the DC Cinematic Universe really fails to do it, Marvel next door will probably feel very lonely.
So, please, add some oil...
