Desecrate the spirit of the original

Many live-action movie works that have been changed from comics, in fact, most of them will fail, because comics have expressiveness, exaggeration and so on that cannot be achieved with real people. Some works are not successful but they will not be drowned by the saliva of fans. Personally, I think the biggest extent is the character shaping of the characters, the plot, and the most important thing is the theme of the story.

Without further ado, watch this film:

Ah Shu (Du Wenze) (3 points):

In the original comic book, Ah Shu's image is a person who loves racing but has no talent. He is also ugly, so there is no Peach Blossom Land. But there is indeed a kind-hearted, honest, gentleman character to girls. Not shown in the film.

Takumi (Jay Chou) (6 points):

There are many criticisms of Jay Chou's acting skills on the Internet. But personally, I can only say that I didn't make any big mistakes, and I still see the shadow of Takukai in the comics. It was not easy for Jay Chou, who was electrocuted for the first time.

Played by Fujiwarahara (Huang Qiusheng) (0 points)

The 0 points I said are completely objective evaluations for the following reasons.
In the original work, Fujiharadai is a person who is extremely stinky, but
he is very concerned about his son's racing career. Including the day when the AE86 exploded, his father saw that he was
picking up his precious son with a cigarette in his mouth.

The most annoying thing is that the live-action version of Fuji Yuantai hugs a few little sisters and brags about how NB he was back then, and how wretched he was when Xia Shu came to the house.

I remember it was the TV version or OVA, Xia Shu went to Tuohai's house as a guest, Wentai was a gentleman and received Xia Shu, and said how my son caused you trouble, etc. Finally, Tuohai and Xia Shu and Wentai were very happy had a Christmas. A happy family.

Takahashi Ryosuke (Chen Guanxi) plays (8 points)

Edison Chen who got 8 points, but he played cool and played the limelight in it. It is more appropriate to the original work. He is highly sought after by women, and has excellent driving skills. factors are present.
The only shortcoming is that Takahashi Ryosuke in the original has a feeling of a military advisor, and he is a little tired of the state of being invincible all over the world, but seeing the appearance of Takukai has rekindled his love for the origin of racing. And from the original work, he saw that Tuohai had an impossible ability, maybe he sighed that he didn't have this ability and would be surpassed by Tuohai sooner or later. . This is not reflected in the movie version, which is a little regrettable.

Not to mention other actors, just point to a few main characters.
