Let’s talk about some creative restrictions. This film bears It is an important responsibility to pave the way for the Justice League. At the same time, because of the $250 million production cost, the box office of the film itself is also necessary. It can be regarded as a film that can only succeed, not fail. What is the actual effect? Three days after the release, the box office has already earned 420 million U.S. dollars, which is a pretty good result.
For a superhero character, the key point of setting is not what surpasses ordinary people's abilities, but what kind of weaknesses and defects he has. Because only weaknesses and defects can reflect the protagonist's choice under pressure, and then portray a distinct character. Superman has no weaknesses since he was born, so he often had to let Superman weaken as his crisis. But always watching Superman become weak is annoying, and it is difficult to enter the inner world of the protagonist. So the film defines his weakness in sociality. At the same time, because Superman is a good person, he had to lead the theme to the paradox of law and chivalry. It can be said that this is almost the only choice. (Even in the comic "Injustice", this point was chosen to let Superman act as a dictator and challenge the political system.)
Then there is a problem. The original superhero series of comics are for the confrontation of power and power. For the creation, the dimension of conflict is very intuitive. From the audience's default position, to the appearance of the characters to the clothing, this simplification tendency is reflected. However, because the film chose the very abstract conflict between chivalry and the human political system. In order to convince the audience that these superheroes in strange costumes also participate in the regular society and have a rich inner world, it is necessary to create an unusually real sense of society. On the whole, it will make the film more adult and literary. In fact, in order to make a certain gap with the Avengers, this is a good choice, but creators will understand the dilemma between superheroes and social themes. Why does the film have such a long pre-climax? Just to make you believe that this world is real, these heroes are all flesh and blood and weaknesses. Although, I don't think that this method is the best choice, but considering so many creative constraints, making such a finished product is not a failure.
The preparation and debut of Wonder Woman was actually quite successful. Because this hero herself is a hero who easily gives people a sense of excitement, but after the previous flirting dialogue, plus the foreshadowing of the photos, her appearance seems very reasonable. Once Wonder Woman has no sense of disobedience, then when characters such as the Flash, Green Lantern and so on appear on the stage, it will be logical, so this movie actually achieved the important mission of paving the way.
The play was actually pretty good, longer than the rumors, and it was very shocking when the big players faced off. The villain's setting is a bit like Doomsday, but the appearance is much weaker than Doomsday in the comics, so the tension in the duel will be much worse. Luther’s portrayal, in fact, I feel that if you want to change it, you can change it to a bigger one. If he is a super criminal who is designed to force a decisive battle between the two, then the best choice is to make him act crazy in front of him, but the screenwriter did not. , I just gave some simple dialogue. Compared with the behavior, the dialogue is far worse in character shaping, which is why we feel that Luther's portrayal is not true and powerful enough. If you compare Nolan's Batman to the beginning of the second part of the description of the Joker.
In the film, the director really doesn't like to use the whole perspective to explain the spatial relationship, whether it is a dialogue or a battle, so even in a fighting scene, the spatial location is not clear. But the advantage is that it increases the amount of thinking in watching the film, making the lens more attractive to watch. It also fits with the idea that the film as a whole hopes to bring people deep into the inner world. But the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, the entire film feels depressed and makes the eyes very tired, plus the length of the film is up to two and a half hours, it is still a reduction in points.
In terms of overall evaluation, this film is considered to have successfully achieved its commercial goals. I feel that this kind of big investment film is not as good as looking for directors who like innovation and strong taste. It is better to shoot according to commercial plans like this, although many places can have Better processing, but this can ensure that there are fewer errors, and the risk may be relatively small.
Muyu’s completely subjective score is
overall, but the director is not lost. 7
There is a better choice of scripts. 6.5. The
huge creative limit successfully elicited the audience’s follow-up expectations. 8
Great efforts were made to portray Superman’s inner world. The method is a bit clumsy but effective. 7.5
Overall comment: 7.3
The evaluation of this film will be very bipolar. There will be many people who like this film, and there will also be many people who don’t like
it. Actually some of it is out of feelings, and those who don’t like it may not understand the limitations of creation too much.
But in general, the main creation Processing is not the best
