After seeing it, it's a little bit worse than expected. Liu Weiqiang has not surpassed Chen Jiashang ten years ago, Chen Jiashang has not surpassed himself ten years ago, Donnie Yen only surpassed his TV series "Future of the Fist" starring him in martial arts design, but it is still a long way from Jet Li's "Heroes of Jingwu". .
The most obvious feeling is that the whole play comes down without too many memorable details. It's all too familiar. Chen Zhen, Jingwumen, fighting against Japan, spies, the sick man of East Asia, and even the mask and nickname "Tianshan Hei Xia" worn by Chen Zhen. Does the screenwriter still want to pay tribute to "Black Man" starring Jet Li?
And the sentence "Listen to me, the Chinese are not the sick man of East Asia" doesn't have the power of the original Bruce Lee, nor the fun of kicking the plaque of the sick man of East Asia.
This should not be the problem of director Liu Weiqiang, Chen Jiashang takes a large part of the responsibility. There are already problems in the creation of the script. For example, the theme of hitting the Japanese has been initially set, and the next step is to see Chen Zhen return. The only thing that is new is the scene in the European war, which not only reflects the new ideas, but also sees some very fast martial arts scenes designed by Donnie Yen for himself. This is the best part of this movie.
As for the other content, it is really difficult for people to feel attentively. Some details in the film could not stand up to scrutiny. For example, when Chen Zhen was alert, he was knocked unconscious when two cars surrounded him, and then staged a scene in "The Sound of the Wind". And the most unlucky are the hero Shi Meng and his father, who have traveled thousands of miles from Japan to Shanghai, China, and their ultimate fate is to be killed by Chen Zhen!
Speaking of martial arts directors, Donnie Yen has basically completed the task. But he basically has no rivals in the film, and almost all PKs tend to be one-sided. Even if he fights with the Japanese boss in the end, after he wakes up his force value through a series of memories, he still has the upper hand, as long as he keeps punching hard. This is the same as the last pk Japanese in "Ip Man". In the face of a person who was beaten by you so that you can't fight back, you don't even have the heart to shout!
When a movie that wants to make the audience's blood boil is without shouting and enthusiasm, the movie is almost a failure. Regarding the actor, Shu Qi, let's play as you like. Huang Qiusheng's character basically can't see how much he has helped, but in the end, he commanded his subordinates to kill two Japanese people, which makes people feel very enjoyable; as for Huang Bo, he is still the same, and he can't say whether he likes or dislikes it. However, a few hometown dialects from Shandong fellows are quite standard...
In short, this film only reached the passing line. Chen Zhen really won, but Liu Weiqiang and Chen Jiashang lost together.
