"Flying Dragon Dragon" has always used the first IMAX 3D martial arts movie as a publicity stunt. What I have always worried about is that this is just a gimmick in the end. Fortunately, the final result greatly exceeded my expectations. Maybe people will still do it after many years. I mention this movie only because it has the meaning of rectifying the name and establishing standards for Chinese 3D movies. This kind of visual effect will not show you any place in the world. Even watching "Transformers 3" and "The Adventures of Tintin", I would take off my glasses to relax my eyes from time to time, but "Flying Dragon" does not give me this opportunity at all. If there is a gap with the highest level of 3D movies represented by "Avatar", it is just that there are still some blunt and dazzling elements in the integration of people and the environment, but in terms of layering, picture impact and lens scheduling, "Longmen" The 3D level of "Flying Armor" is definitely in the forefront of the world, and the first long shot of the film will make people surprised. More importantly, for Chinese audiences, the characters and scenes they are familiar with are presented on the screen. This kind of surprise and pride is completely different from the curiosity of Hollywood blockbusters.
I don’t know what Tsui Hark’s evaluation of his "Di Renjie" is, but many aspects of "Flying Jia of Dragon Gate" can be regarded as a correction based on "Di Renjie". For example, he abandoned the previous one this time. The Korean company instead used nine companies to subcontract the special effects scenes in the film. The action aspect did not use Sammo Hung, who had no achievements in weapons, but invited Won Bin’s team. More importantly, he changed the background from The Temple of Prosperity sank into the chaotic world again, and returned to the most primitive motif of martial arts movies—seeking revenge and hunting for treasure, fighting for supremacy among the heroes. Compare the popular movies like "Sword Rain" and "Martial Arts" in the past two years. With the theme of retreat, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" has the creative intention to rectify the name of a pure martial arts film. It surpasses itself by drawing the ground as a prison with the inherent story mode. This is the Tsui Hark I expected, and such Tsui Hark is also true. It's been a long time. Hi, Tsui Hark, welcome back!
However, the transcendence here does not mean surpassing "New Dragon Inn". In a sense, "New Dragon Inn" cannot be surpassed. The cast of the golden age that cannot be reached is destined to this point. Perhaps taking this into consideration, there are more characters in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" than in "New Dragon Inn", the scenes are more average, the plot is more complicated, the standard group portrait, and every character stands still. As the male number one, Jet Li actually does not have enough room to play here. Basically every major character has subversive performances and reversal settings, and the biggest surprise here is undoubtedly Chen Kun, Yizheng Yixie’s two roles gave him a lot of room to play. In addition, the newly launched Sheng Jian also showed enough domineering, including Li Yuchun, who can’t act, can see that Xu Har’s tailor-made role for her is in It hides the naivety of her acting to the greatest extent. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
