Anticlimactic, too hasty - is there really no generals in Shu?

The film review of "Shazam of Thunder" is full of "five-star generals" who are "I am a comic fan and I am reasonable". As an ordinary neutral and evil viewer of DC & Marvel, he said that the degree of anticlimactic the film is outrageous . The mainland version of "Deadpool 2: I Love My Family" can slap this movie with the main theme of "one person gains justice, chickens and dogs rise to the sky", but it is not very family friendly.

Let’s talk about the protagonist first. The background character of the superhero is very perfect - the original family that is bad to a certain extent; the confusion and intelligence of the teenage years (as seen in the clip of locking the police to find clues about the mother, but once failed); Rebellious character and self-reconciliation (fleeing from the adoptive family several times, but finally seeing the gap between the biological mother and knowing the truth and finally hugging his friends, acknowledging them in his heart, and becoming a family). Simply the best for a superhero. The foreshadowing and commitment in the early stage make people look forward to the next story, but I forgot that expectation is often the beginning of disappointment......

Let's talk about the opposition. After all, there is only so much time in the movie, the masked villain is not enough to be a reason to be disgusted (at least I am not disgusted). Although I did not become the chosen child, I opened the door to another dimension with my own wisdom and suddenly possessed seven evil babies. It can be proved that this villain is also a chosen person, and can stand up. The final "jealousy makes him separate from the wall" is also in line with his low self-esteem since childhood. The opposite of the poor and hateful hero, there is nothing wrong with it. But why did I finally show Yang Wei... Let's talk about it next.

1. Overly simple action scenes: You have no experience in being a superhero at the beginning, right? I came out of the theater and reminisced about the whole battle process. The only thing that impressed me the most was the actual combat application of the Batman replica darts that foreshadowed in the first half of the plot... What's the matter, is there no general in Shu? A "Shazam" with a spark and lightning runs through the entire movie, superheroes all rely on switching upper and lowercase?

2. The evil forces of the dark style, the seven deadly sins that use the villain's weakness to try to destroy mankind will only attack indiscriminately: arrogance, jealousy, greed, laziness, anger, gluttony, lust, and the seven demons, except for jealousy. In the villain's body, what are the other six doing when it comes to the final battle? Shake the Ferris wheel? Destroy the playground equipment? All such good materials were wasted, and such big gimmicks turned out to be pure terrorists...

3. Cultivation of immortals should also follow the Basic Law: this item can only be regarded as personal likes and dislikes. One ability is divided into six people (that's what I know in the comics, although I haven't seen it), it's really unpleasant, but you can shoot it, but you can't force it, Lu Dongbin's reincarnation is still black in "Journey to the East" After that, let's save him together and become a team called Eight Immortals. Personally, I think it is better to put the delivery of abilities in the second part, and leave a small easter egg at the end of the first part, so that it won't seem too rushed. Let those of us who haven't read comics have some room for buffering, and it won't appear that our friends who know comics are collectively over-excited, and it will not make this easter egg so mediocre that it can't be called an easter egg. Ordinary movies are usually released at the end— -Tell you, there is a second part, called "The villain is not dead, but he can take revenge".

A good superhero movie, the first half made me dream back to 17, the second part forced me to wake up, and you paid for yourself to be madly exported by others like a fool, it is really sad......
