Just rushed to pass

The film satisfactorily fulfilled people's expectations for it, that is, it clearly explained the life and history of the popular character Wolverine in the X-Men, but unfortunately the qualification of the film ends here. It can also be seen that the director is actually very ambitious. He really wants to show a bigger story to the audience after finishing his job, but his final level is not proportional to his ambition. If this kind of prequel work can also be regarded as a sequel of some kind, then this film should be regarded as a poor sequel in the "X-Men" series.
The film has fallen into a strange rhythm from beginning to end. Most of the plots are advancing rapidly at a speed that does not distinguish between priorities. It seems that the director wants to tell the audience everything, but there is something about everything. It was too late to say it, so while the movie was getting faster and faster and getting out of control, some of the more important plots were inexplicably omitted. For example, the encounter and love between the heroine and the heroine are not explained at all, so that based on my previous experience of watching movies, this kind of more abruptly appearing characters will often disappear relatively quickly, so when the heroine is attacked, I really I thought she should "get a lunch box", but when she finally appeared again, I really felt that I was played by the director, and I was played by a relatively crude trick. The degree of depression can be imagined.
Driven by such an out-of-control rhythm, it seems that many characters in the film are too late to portray them carefully. Not to mention the explanation of some necessary mental activities, but some characters even have their names basically flashed by. Although some supporting characters do not need to be described too much, the protagonist should not be too brief. The heroes and heroines in the film, as well as the main villains, are basically portrayed to the point, not to mention the more detailed psychological description. There are even few decent lines. It seems that all the scenes are rushing forward desperately so that they can finish their work. In that case, why should you go in such a big circle?
At the beginning of the film, a series of quick shots narrated the life experience of the Wolverine brothers in a simple and smooth manner. It is very clear and can be considered as detailed and appropriate. It is a pity that such a concise and sound shot is only one part of the movie. .
Finally, let’s talk about the special effects of this film. To be honest, it’s not too bad, but not very good. It is even slightly inferior to the previous "X-Men". I don't know if the director deliberately pursued such an effect. Some special effects scenes look like colorful comics, and the traces of the collage of characters are obvious. There is also the steel claws of Wolverine. It looks like a freshly installed aluminum alloy window frame. It is bright and lovely. It really doesn't have the sharp texture of the previous movie. From this point, we can also see the film’s suspicion of rushing to work.
Although the film has a lot of faults, but the opening sentence, the film is basically qualified, presumably the box office situation of the year should also pass? Otherwise, no one would want to make a sequel.
