Blockbuster, no need to pursue too much

This movie has been lying on the computer for almost a year, and finally turned it out to have a look.
I heard that the evaluation of it before is also diverse and mixed. The most common are the deletion of many plots in the movie theater, the bloated, and the lens is suspected of demeaning China.
I've seen it. Fortunately, I downloaded the uncut version, so I can see it all.
Although watching a blockbuster like this on a computer does not have the thrilling tension of a movie theater, because the rhythm of this movie is very tight, it feels a little breathless when watching it.
It was gone in two hours.
I haven't watched the "blockbuster" for a long time, and when I watched it, I didn't even hope that it would be perfect. I watched it purely for the best sound and light effects of blockbuster films.
The atmosphere is still very good. The shooting scene is dazzling, and a little flaw is found from time to time, and it is immediately attracted by the next bigger and fierce scene.
The most impressive thing in the whole film is that I saw Brother Atang running desperately. Apart from nervousness, he was secretly pitiful. He didn't have the cool motorcycle in the second part to drive.
I have to admit that the handsome and cool Tomoko was old, his posture was slightly fattened, and his wrinkles were deep. But understandable.
Who has not been old since ancient times? I have seen that Mission Impossible III is so old, how can I demand that Brother Tom is always young, cool, handsome and suave?
The agent has been working for so long, and there is a time when he hopes to return to the truth. Therefore, he got married and spared his life for his love.
MaggieQ still feels like a vase here, with few lines, just a helper for Brother Tom. The red dress was not good-looking at all exposed, and the appearance was relatively old and skinny, which made me feel pity.
Those shots in China, to be honest, I personally still feel a bit demeaning the image of China.
It's not because of the underwear drying on the balcony, but the Chinese people photographed are all dressed like people in the 7th and 80s. They are all gray and blue, which is a great contrast to the beautiful night view of Shanghai.
And most of the plot takes place in Xitang, giving people the impression that China is like that. Although Xitang represents China's unique water village characteristics, Shanghai is not. Anyway, Shanghai is also an international metropolis.
I don't know that China is like this in the eyes of foreigners from time to time.
I thought the director of this movie was Wu Yusen, I guess he didn't shoot these plots.
Watching blockbuster movies, I am always extra tolerant. As long as the storyline says that there are no obvious loopholes in the past, it’s ok. The key is to make the scenes up to the blockbuster level.
In this one, it can be regarded as done.
Therefore, I will not think too much about unsatisfactory places. I will be satisfied with the senses and the spirit will be adjusted.
I still know in my heart that this movie may not remember anything for a while, but the first two movies will always remember the movements of Tom's hanging down, and the Wu's violent aesthetics of pigeons flying in the gunfight.
The classic ones belong to the first two. This one is just for fun.
