This article is transferred from the public number: the thing about a cup

Three years ago, the classic game "Jumanji" was revived, and the movie "Jumanji: Battle for the Jungle" starring Dwayne Johnson was finally released

With an excellent cast and post-processing, it won an astonishing $9.60 box office nationwide.

When it was released in China, it beat "Predecessor 3" and counterattacked "Star Wars 8", and the satisfaction rate on Rotten Tomatoes was as high as 87%

Three years later, the movie is back again, this time bringing us Jumanji 2: Rematch

1

see the first

In the first installment, four high schools were sucked into the game and turned into different characters.

Everyone enters a game character that is diametrically opposed to their real-life counterpart.

Skinny nerd turned into a muscular hunk

Introverted female scholar turned boy killer

Basketball staple turned skinny zoologist

The heartthrob school flower has become a middle-aged and fat uncle

Different characters will have different skills and weaknesses

Everyone can only return to real life by completing the game characters and defeating the final boss.

look at the second

In the second part, a few friends went from high school to college.

However, after returning to reality, the nerd Spencer became more and more inferior, and wanted to feel the feeling of "Dr. Yongshi" again in his heart.

On Christmas Eve, the group of four had an appointment to have dinner together, but Spencer did not attend the appointment because of his inner entanglement.

So they found Spencer's home and met Spencer's grandfather Eddie and his friend Milo.

After arriving, they found that Spencer had entered the Yumanji game console again, so in order to save him who disappeared, the other three decided to regroup again and return to the game adventure world.

Unlike the previous one, this time, Grandpa Eddie and Milo were also involved in the game world.

And everyone also has a random character

Grandpa Eddie turned into Dr. Yong Shi

Milo became a black zoologist

The main basketball player turned into a middle-aged uncle

The female scholar is still the boy killer

A new character has also been added, the goddess stealing light, and the most amazing thing is that the heartthrob school flower has become a horse this time...

In addition to the innovation in characters, "Jumanji 2" is also richer in the setting of scene levels, and it is no longer a single "jungle battle"

but was divided into

gobi desert

western town

Fenglin Pontoon Bridge

Iceberg Fortress

The design of various NPC animals in each scene, including mandrills, ostriches, pythons, hyenas and other beasts, is nearly 100% restored.

If such a movie is only for the viewing effect and the pleasure of popcorn, it is very good

3 Ruthless Tucao

1. Chicken soup is inexplicable

The main spiritual core of the film is:

save love

restore friendship

Illuminate family

Tucao ①: save love

Spencer returned to the game because of low self-esteem want to find the original feeling ,,,, like middle-aged man went to Wei. Like brother regain their confidence on later, low self-esteem will be the first time since after entering the game, is this the second time to go won't it? ? ?

Tucao ②: Regain friendship

In the movie, Grandpa and Milo parted ways because Milo sold the shop without authorization 15 years ago.

In the first half of the film, the conflict between the two people has become too much.

Then Milo confided to Grandpa

Grandpa knows: Milo is dying

Then we made up. There is an old saying in China: When a person is about to die, his words are good. Milo didn't come back to find his grandfather for 15 years. , The cup really doesn't understand the point of "friendship" in it.

Tucao ③: Illuminate family affection

The film is 2 hours long. What is really related to family love is the embrace between Spencer and grandpa at the beginning , and the "video game" between Spencer and grandpa at the end . Sorry, I didn't see it either. .

Summarize the advantages and disadvantages

1. Advantages

The second part compared to the first part

The plot is richer

Characters are more diverse

The special effects are more shocking

The joke is more prominent

2. Disadvantages

Landslide at the Core of Thought: Praise of Growth in Part 1, Chaos at the Core in Part 2

The point of laughter is out of tune with the plot: it's funny

Epilogue

It is true that there are not many sequels that can be made better and better in the film industry, because the spiritual height and innovation of the previous work are difficult to break through or even balance in the sequel. In order to make the sequel also fresh, the director needs to restore it at 50%+ At the same time, adding new things is undoubtedly the most challenging

It is worth mentioning that the last egg

It can be seen that the game has been opened again, but this time, the creatures in the game world have entered real life.

As a popcorn movie, "Jumanji" is indeed very good. Although there are still so many slots in the second part, I still look forward to the surprise and joy of the third step.

    (5.0/10) did the same thing again. The former loser alliance quartet (not all of them) also made some sense to get some education through the game. This time, the two old men were forced to arrange it. This kind of film is very suitable for commercial theaters and their consumers, and it is worth watching but not worth pondering.

    I laughed the loudest in the whole theater... It’s so rare that there are movies that are adapted from classics that make people love so much.
