In recent years, more and more superheroes wearing uniforms have appeared on the big screen. Most of these uniformed heroes have labels produced by Marvel, watching the comic characters of their rivals become popular, DC I finally couldn't help it, and cooperated with Warner to launch a new comic hero movie "Green Lantern". I am not a fan of American comics, and I don't know the popularity and status of the character in American comics. However, it is not difficult to see from the production cost of Warner that the producer has great ambitions for this film. In the post-Harry Potter era, Warner wanted to build another money-making machine. The popularity of the comics adaptation naturally made Warner focus on the various characters under DC, and "Green Lantern" became a touchstone. But the box office and word-of-mouth that the movie finally gained was disappointing. Based on the many movies adapted from the American comics I have seen, I have summarized a general plot line of the American comics movie, that is, one main line and two branch lines. The main line plot is about how the hero defeats the BOSS and saves the earth. The two branch line plots are the feelings of the hero respectively. Entanglement and spiritual growth. The film tells the story of Howl Jordan learned how to overcome fear and finally defeat the Phantom Demon during the process of becoming the Green Lantern. Although the plot is a bit clichéd, it is difficult to pick out faults from it, and this kind of plot arrangement is most in line with the appetite of the old and American audiences. We can't expect every American comic film to be able to make the "Dark Knight" style. In fact, the real shortcoming of "Green Lantern" lies in the character of Ryan Reynolds as Howe Jordan. It is not that Reynolds's acting skills are not good. It is just that the hero of Green Lantern is too facial and it is difficult to dig into this character. With a little personality, a large part of the success of Marvel's "Iron Man" is due to Tony Stark's unruly character, and the actor Robert Downey Jr. is also a representative of this kind of character. The success of "Spider-Man" is also due to the emotional shaping of the protagonist Peter Parker, indecision, bookishness.... These were all well presented to the audience by Tobey Maguire. On the other hand, the character of Howe Jordan in this film, apart from sunshine, handsome, brave and justice, we can no longer find other characteristics of this character. The success of Iron Man and Spiderman is not because the audience feels that they are more powerful by playing the boss. , But because they are a living person under the mask of a hero. And under the Green Lantern's mask is a completely artistic and fantasy character. Perhaps this is a common crux of the current comic hero movies. The single plot routine and the protagonist who lacks a rich personality have become the death of a beautiful comic. As a movie fan, I hope to see more comic movies like "The Dark Knight", but in fact not every comic is suitable for this dark style. In terms of how to solve the problem of American comics, Marvel has its own ideas. Unique strategy. Judging from the superhero movies produced by Marvel in recent years, the heroes of Marvel are no longer fighting alone. Every comic hero movie it releases will contain rich eggs and details to suggest the existence of other superheroes. , Such as the Hawkeye who showed a small face in Thor this year. These easter eggs and details are often very eye-catching. For many old American audiences who are familiar with comics, they even actively look for these details during the process of watching movies, thus sharing the boredom caused by the cliché plot to a certain extent. . On the other hand, the characters under DC are almost all fighting alone, and the results are often not satisfactory (except for the series of "Batman Prequel" by Nolan Great God). In fact, Marvel has made superheroes fight in groups from the beginning. Habits, from FOX’s "X-Men" to "Fantastic Four", there is another advantage of doing so, that is, once a hero in the team is particularly popular, it can be taken out to shoot rumours, such as Wolverine. Next year, Marvel will launch the strongest team hero movie "Avengers". I wonder if DC is also about to move now, and the long-awaited "Justice League" that has been confused by comics is also about to come out. Regarding the various problems that currently exist in Meiman’s changing movies, the producers are more likely to make some tactical adjustments from the distribution strategy, but if the actual problems are not solved, if things go on like this, Meiman is likely to be like the American action movies of the year. The same goes up and down.
