It is true that age sometimes does not mean anything, and the fun is not related to age. Some people read "Dream of Red Mansions" when they were ten, and they went directly from adolescence to adulthood in reading. Some people still read youth novels when they were thirty or forty, and still stayed in reading. Puberty. "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a full-fledged teen movie. Growth, love, and responsibility satisfy the taste of adolescence. Commercial movies are mainly about youth culture, with a younger consumer group and a summer blockbuster. "The Amazing Spider-Man" does not go beyond the conventional at any point. It is a carefully customized popcorn for teenagers and "adolescent taste" audiences.
Looking for father, hurting relatives, a love, a bad fight, accidentally becoming a superman, the plot is very clichéd, no matter how smoothly speaking, it is inevitable to leave a sleeping point. Does shocking visual performance save mediocre plots? The visual effects have to be supported by content to have a real shocking effect, or else, just the eyeballs are stimulated. This new version has been changed to a purely youth version. The meanings conveyed are all the main theme of the youth, and there is no deep spiritual or unexpected topic in it. It is the same cliché. Movies like "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Batman" are easier to refresh, because there are "freedom" and "resistance" in them. They are easier to cover a wider audience than "The Amazing Spider-Man".
The experience of watching a movie is the result of the stimulus of the story and the visual effects. When the content does not provide anything fresh or shocking, it mainly depends on the visual effects to maintain the enthusiasm of watching. This kind of movie watching is a very bad experience. What a pity. Is it my problem, or is it the movie? The personal experience of watching movies is not long or short, which has created the current threshold of pleasure. The comprehensive stimulation effect of "The Amazing Spider-Man" has never touched this point.
The director Mark Webb previously had a film called "500 Days with Summer", which is an American style. In this film, he played a little bit more on the treatment of love. Is this little refreshing new? His girlfriend's father is a policeman. He doesn't like him. He stops them. The boring love routine is common. No matter how fresh it is, it is vulgar. The setting of the protagonist's character is different from the original version, and it has long been common in hero movies, and there is nothing to play with. The changes in the details are not enough to be subtle enough to enhance the entire movie. It is just using new technology to repackage the old story, sell a little freshness on the surface, and search the box office again. The descendants of the audience push the previous generation, and the new products are aimed at the new generation of audiences. If they are not defective products, they may get an unexpected box office. Sometimes the box office does not mean anything, like the bad costume movies in the mainland, like Hollywood's "Twilight".
I was three minutes late when I entered the theater. After I entered, I didn't wear 3D glasses and it was very clear. I didn't take a close look at the picture. I immediately asked the staff: "Did you make a mistake? This is "Batman", right?" Of course, she was not mistaken. It's just that many passages in the film can be seen without glasses, and there is no ghosting. I came back and looked at the information. It turned out to be 2D shooting, and later converted to 3D. No wonder there are so many cheating shots. Of course, compared with domestic products such as "Painted Skin II", it is much more powerful. Important scenes (such as the final fight) are unambiguous and the visual effects are great. The image effect of Spider-Man turning over and diving in the air, throwing away a few streets where Zhou Xun leaned down and rushed down in "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate".
In the next few years, we will continue to see the second and third parts, if not surprisingly, they will not have much improvement in the story structure. Copy, copy again, this is an old Hollywood tune. If you want to see something really new, don't expect too much of these old "knights". 【Sohu Entertainment】
