Five years ago, "Escape from the Golden Cicada" still had a lot of bugs and muddy plots, but it was still fast-paced and well-organized, and it was basically self-explanatory. What's more, "Escape the Golden Cicada" really attracted us not the plot, but the two tough guys who were over 60 years old-Stallone and Schwarzenegger stood on the big screen again, the feeling that they were able to fight side by side against their opponents for the first time.
Themes like "Escape of the Golden Cicada" are neither old nor new. New is the work of a jailbreak master, and many people have filmed the old jailbreak movies. Escape of the Golden Cicada just changed the role of the character. , So that we can be convinced that this character can continue to be jailed and escaped, but it is easy to fall into the loop, for example, "Reaper is here" and "Saw Cry" series, although the parts are different, but the general routines and creativity Still the same, if there is no breakthrough, people will soon feel aesthetic fatigue. "Escape The Golden Cicada 2" has fallen into this sequel law. The internal and external cooperation, the escape method is almost the same as that of the previous game, and it can even overlap with the previous work. But more serious than these, "Escape The Golden Cicada 2" not only does not Solve the problems left over from the previous work, but also wipe out the original advantages.
One of the advantages of "Escape the Golden Cicada" lies in its clarity. It has sufficient fixed-site shots, double close-up shots, mid-to-close shots and dialogues to guide the location, environment, and relationship between the characters in the prison, which establishes a sense of space and makes us easy to be caught. Bring it into the plot and think about how to escape and empathize with the characters.
"Escape from the Golden Cicada 2" does the opposite, using a large number of monotonous mid-range shots. Whether it is literary or martial arts, it always maintains a close-up animation surface. With the fake lines, the audience can easily drift away from the plot.
And these are not only reflected in the prison scenes, but also appear in every place in the movie, forming a movie "I know every word you say, but I don't know what you are talking about", plus Compared with the previous work, there are more loopholes, and it is not surprising that many viewers directly call the plot inexplicable. In addition, the relationship between the characters in "Escape The Golden Cicada 2" also has great problems.
Yusheng is a high-tech talent that is far more successful than a tree, but in the film he has nothing to show off his personality except for developing products that can destroy the world. On the contrary, he blindly panics and compromises, just like a soft meal. The chef in charge of the prison’s food and drink and the boss of the gangster in the prison have just cut through a few pictures, and they have become the tree’s internal response in the prison. They have not seen the efforts made by the characters for them. You must know that Stallone’s role in the previous game is for It can be said that the doctors in the prison of the "Tomb of the Living" have been exhausted, swallowing styptic powder and cutting the thigh.
Such an excessive amount of "Escape The Golden Cicada 2" has a weird emotional gap. Many questions have not been answered, and there is not enough room for the audience to think about it. These missing logic, conflicting personalities, and chaotic close-ups have combined to make up this dog-tailed movie. From the special effects of fifty cents, the stand-in of Huang Xiaoming who is still exposed after editing, it was released in China, and the direct release of the film in the North American market shows the film’s success. Rough and money-bound.
Stallone, the protagonist, became a supporting role for Huang Xiaoming, and Schwarzenegger, the other protagonist, did not play, and a large number of new roles appeared. He had little connection with the previous game, and the budget was greatly reduced. The movie never showed the high intelligence and brain-burning escape of the previous game.
This is not a true sequel to "Escape from the Golden Cicada", it can only be regarded as a bad movie of Hollywood China's special money for selling dog meat on sheep's clothing.
