"Wolverine": relatively mediocre hero biographies
/press Malu
If I watched this "X-Men" hero biographies "Wolverine" two years ago, I might give a relatively higher evaluation, but unfortunately since last year After "Iron Man", especially "The Dark Knight", Hollywood has raised the overall quality of comic hero movies by more than one level, and the record box office results in the world have proved that the inner depth of comic heroes is also There is a big market. So for "Wolverine" such a high-profile and large-scale annual comic hero blockbuster, I am a little bit harsh and not asking for full blame. For example, last year, a comic film "The Spirit" that was almost drowned by the spit of audiences and critics, although it was directed by American comic master Frank Miller independently, it is obviously a comic hero movie. If you have the cool appearance of "Sin City" back then, no one is buying it now.
The first half of this heroic biography focuses on shaping the role of "Wolverine", and regardless of the creative opening characters appearing or the layers of paving for the character of "Wolverine", it is still enough to satisfy the fans of "X-Men" expect. The action part of the film is obviously gradual. At least three action scenes in the film are impressive enough, and the passage where Hugh Jackman ran into the barn with his bare butt is definitely a humorous section that is rare in the whole film. But none of these can make "Wolverine" get rid of the "old feeling" of a traditional comic hero movie. Other shortcomings, such as the fact that the supporting roles in the film are mostly superficial, are minor problems.
In my eyes, the three words "Hollywood" are a living body. It must constantly evolve and use various methods to bring forth the new. Even if it turns out that the so-called "new" is just a new bottle of old wine, it must be "new". Hollywood's law of survival. Last year, two series of heroic films were successful-"The Dark Knight" and "Quantum Crisis". The inherent similarity between the two films is worthy of attention. These two films are the evergreens of the hero series, and coincidentally, the previous one of each has achieved a comprehensive innovation of this series of themselves. "Batman: The Mystery of Shadows" brings a dark temperament that the Batman series has never had before. "The Dark Knight" has become more intensified. Its author style has made the film beyond the category of superhero movies; "Casino Royale" is also pioneering The brand-new image of tough guy 007 will carry forward the Hollywood "Docudrama" (Docudrama) style established in the "The Bourne Shadows" series, so that 007 will return to the vision of audiences all over the world. Of course, "Quantum Crisis" will be waiting for it. Money out.
In this sense, "Wolverine" is trying to deepen himself and dig deeper into the character's heart. It stands to reason that the director of the film who has filmed "The Gangster Thug" has the strength to give the film more depth. But no matter how you look at "Wolverine", it ends up being an ordinary Hollywood blockbuster with "more actions, more explosions, and more special effects". Fortunately for the audience, this biography has at least laid a reasonable foundation for its sequel, and it is worth looking forward to for "Wolverine 2". Finally, I must say a digression. I am envious of the fact that there are so many loyal audiences in the United States who love movies. After experiencing the largest leak in Hollywood history, "Wolverine" still achieved an amazing first weekend box office record, which opened the green light for the next sequel, and at the same time, the benign film market cultivated by Hollywood over the past century has won Authentication. I dare not think that if in China, the same thing would happen in "Nanjing! Nanjing! "What will happen to me."
