The director Liu Weiqiang and the main actor Dan really wanted to recreate a different Chen Zhen, they worked hard, and the effect was mediocre.
Surprisingly, there are several action scenes in the opening and middle sections. Brother Dan's fast, accurate and ruthless mixed fighting style is very wonderfully displayed under Liu Weiqiang's camera language and clever editing. It was the last battle that was more unsuccessful. Whether it was a battle against a hundred enemies or a boss showdown, there was a big gap between it and Jet Li's action classic "Fighting Heroes". Competing with the comics of the small universe, I don't understand this very much. I believe that Dan will regret it, probably because of the lack of a sufficient opponent.

In terms of performance, Dan has made progress, his aura has become more and more invincible, and his posing skills are even incomparable to Spider-Man.
Shu Qi is so-so, and sings a few songs well, but as an undercover agent, she is really a bit disrespectful.
There are two bright spots: Brother Qiusheng and Huang Bo. The performances of these two people are obviously higher than others, and they are more brilliant. But still not used to them speaking Mandarin.

There are also a lot of flaws in the script, so I won't say more. It is finally a sincere work. I hope to see the second part of the more sincere Spider-Man version of Chen Zhen.

    It is said that without Chen Jia, Donnie Yen and Liu Weiqiang often quarreled. With the chairman of the Hong Kong Awards, this work is well controlled. The theme is clear and direct, and the completion of the film is very consistent with the positioning. Although the "world peace" and other shots lack logic and are full of thunder, the original requirements of commercial films are not perfect in the essence of the film.
