On November 18, "Wonder Woman 1984" (hereinafter referred to as "Wonder Woman 2"), directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, was officially released.
Before the film was released, there was still a lot of expectations in China, and foreign countries were also making waves.
What is the North American word of mouth of "Wonder Woman 2" officially lifted, the current Rotten Tomatoes freshness is 88%, and the MTC score is 67 points.
It turns out that Hollywood in the United States is still a group of "marketing numbers".
Don't believe it, you will lose if you believe it.
"Wonder Woman 2": Praise it wronged me, scolded it wronged it.
"Wonder Woman 2" Storyline
The storyline of Wonder Woman 2 is not complicated.
(The following content has serious spoilers, netizens who have not watched the film should watch it carefully).
Since the last World War, the time has come to 1984.
The future is beautiful and the world is beautiful.
In this new world, "Wonder Woman" Diana spends her time saving innocent people in the city. I usually work in a museum, and I miss the life of my boyfriend Steve very much.
Not to mention the opening Olympics, and then Diana opened the mall to catch a kidnapper.
As a result, the kidnappers got a "citrine", which the FBI didn't understand the value of and took it to the museum for appraisal.
The new gem professor Barbara (played by Kristen Wiig) is a typical female setting with strong academics but very ordinary personal charm.
During a fall, Diana relieved Barbara.
The two talked happily, and Barbara was very envious of Diana.
And when they saw the citrine, Diana read out the meaning of "making a wish".
Everyone didn't take it seriously, just joking and making a wish.
As a result, Diana made a wish in her heart that Steve would come back, and Barbara made a wish to become a powerful woman like Diana.
This wishing crystal stone is real.
Steve really came back with someone else's soul.
And Barbara's physical strength began to become stronger, and the whole person was full of charming women like rebirth.
Having said that, the biggest villain of the film is a frequent TV show "The Little Prince of Oil" Maxwell Lauder (played by the red snake Pedro Pascal).
On the surface, he is a TV personality, and he feels very beautiful.
In fact, the management has been poor for a long time, and the cooperator hopes that his son will be proud of his father.
The villain also investigated the wishing crystal early, and as a result, he fascinated Barbara with his eloquence and personal charm, and successfully borrowed the wishing crystal.
The villain Lauder is relatively good. He made a wish to become a wishing crystal.
Then, began a journey to conquer the world.
While Diana was enjoying the joy of reuniting with Steve, she also knew that there was a problem with the wishing crystal and went to investigate.
In the middle of flirting with Steve, not to mention Steve teaching the female hero to fly.
When the two chased after Egypt, the villain made a wish for the king to own the entire country, but he did not get the oil (sold to Saudi Arabia), thus taking away the entire king's guard.
Diana and the two met the villain on the road, and the villain asked the guards to kill them.
After a fierce fight, the villain managed to escape.
Diana discovered that her superpowers had been severely lost.
The two sides returned to the United States and learned that the wishing crystal was created by a certain god through a descendant (plug-in) who once destroyed civilization because of the wishing crystal.
This god is the god of lies, the god of chaos.
Anyway, Diana learned two things.
One is that the god behind this wishing crystal has a conspiracy.
Because the civilization that once obtained the wishing crystal was eventually destroyed, and it was a breakthrough.
Second, if you want to return to normalcy, you need to give up your wish.
Barbara, who finally became stronger, was shocked and left without knowing it.
Diana and Steve had an argument, and Steve wanted Diana to give up on himself, because her superpowers were severely deprived and the world needed her to save.
Diana naturally did not agree.
At this time, the big villain Lauder made wishes everywhere, causing chaos in the world.
But he felt that it was not enough, so he ran to the President of the United States to fulfill his wish.
The president of the United States subconsciously said that the biggest threat was the Soviet Union, and he hoped that more nuclear bombs would deter the other party.
Lauder helped him fulfill his wish, obtained power from the President of the United States, and at the same time learned that the United States had engaged in a satellite program similar to the "Star Wars Program".
Presumably through this satellite chain, the signal can be strongly inserted into all the programs that have screens around the world.
In this way, Lauder can make everyone in the world wish him.
When Lauder came out, there was a fight with Diana who came over.
Barbara arrived at a critical moment, and Diana, who had lost her superpowers, did not win.
The villain walked away, and the two came to the streets to watch the world that was about to be destroyed.
Steve asked Diana to give up on himself again, and Diana agreed to the request. After running in pain, the super power was restored, and then went to get the golden armor.
The villain, Lauder, has thrown the world into chaos through television.
Diana, who arrived in the golden armor, had a battle with Barbara, who was a leopard girl.
Barbara was beaten to the ground, and Diana went in to stop Lauder.
As a result, because the wish buff on Lauder was too powerful, the Mantra Noose couldn't rush in at all.
Seeing that Lauder is about to turn the sky with the wishes of people all over the world, I don't know when the mantra noose secretly caught Lauder's feet.
Diana made a very sincere speech and spread it to the world through TV signals. People who made wishes all over the world voluntarily gave up their wishes.
The villain, Lauder, saw that his son was also in danger, and voluntarily gave up his wish.
In the end, the villain Lauder reunited with his son. The son said that it was not a wish but because of love.
Later, at Christmas, Diana reunited with the little friend Steve's soul wears, and the two chatted enthusiastically without any follow-up.
There's an Easter egg at the end.
The national goddess in the golden armor worn by Diana came to an end. In reality, she was the actor of the TV series "Wonder Woman", which had a great influence in the United States.
This is the same as the ending of "The Origin of the White Snake" in China. Anyway, it is the set of feelings.
Chinese audiences are definitely not able to get it.
Not enough martial arts, the storyline hurts countless "Wonder Woman 2"
If there is something wrong with this movie, to sum it up, it is probably that the martial arts drama is not enough. The basics that appear in the trailer are basically there, and the plot of the story is even more flawed.
Although there are too many literary and emotional dramas in the first half, although it seems a bit boring and procrastinating, the entertainment is not bad.
Well, the problem in the second half of the movie is really serious.
All kinds of old-fashioned story plot settings, we will not talk about these.
1. The logic before and after the villain is too unnatural
After the villain gets the wishing crystal, nothing directly conquers the world.
Instead, he turned himself into a wishing crystal. To be honest, this setting is not bad.
But after the villain became the wishing crystal, the logic of doing evil lacked a natural transition before and after, and even a little bit complained about it.
The villain destroys\conquers the world, and the protagonist saves the world.
This is the usual routine of American Hollywood blockbusters. Although it is absurd, everyone is used to it.
In a good Hollywood commercial blockbuster, even if the villain is conquering the world, the goal is absurd anyway, but the logical transition should be natural, at least let the audience feel that the villain conquers the world without drama.
A good example is Thanos from The Avengers.
The reason why he snapped his fingers apart from childhood factors, the biggest reason was the involution of the "population expansion" universe.
The movie's villain, Lauder, just started out as a wishing crystal.
In Egypt, the king made a wish to get oil, and later said that many oil fields in the world belonged to him.
At the time I thought his goals were oil and wealth.
As a result, people made random wishes, and even ordinary people wanted to get a pasture.
Later, he felt that there were not enough people to meet, so he went to make a wish for power for the President of the United States.
At this time I thought that oil and wealth would not satisfy him, that his goal was to conquer the world.
Finally, with the help of the satellite program, people all over the world can make wishes.
Because there are too many wishes to fulfill, the body can't bear it, but at the expense of the other party's health.
Then what?
He never said that he wanted to conquer the world or destroy the world.
This creates the latter two problems.
2. Its setting has huge loopholes
The wishing crystal was made by some sly god, and the character clearly said it was a conspiracy.
At the same time, after Diana made a wish to resurrect Steve, Diana was indeed taken away from her superpowers.
But Barbara made a wish to get power, and she didn't take anything away from her until Lauder gave her more wishes later.
At the end of the battle, Barbara suddenly turned into a panther girl.
This transition was unusually abrupt, and there was no connection at all.
Is it because when the two first met, Diana was wearing a pair of leopard-print high heels?
Then the wish to replicate the wishing crystal was realized too late.
If it was Lauder who fulfilled her more wishes, then Barbara said she wanted more strength, added agility, what a top predator.
Why did Barbara become a leopard girl?
Tiger and lion say you are "racist".
Not to mention the villain Lauder.
He is already a wishing crystal, and it would be outrageous to give up his wish.
Originally, it was Barbara who got the power, but took away the humanity, including the appearance of the human being turned into a leopard girl.
The result is not.
I thought the villain Lauder had turned into a wishing crystal and thought he was one of the best at chess.
As a result, because of too many desires, they could not control them, their bodies exploded or their souls degenerated and they were taken away by God. Or, this wishing crystal is a conspiracy of the God of Lies, through the villain to absorb the world's human spirit to be reborn—
No result either.
Look at the crazy shape at the end, which looks like it is about to explode or the villain is reborn.
The result is this?
3. "The Virgin" and love saved the world.
The film setting routine is not a problem, the problem is to be reasonable.
The big villain Lauder made the whole world like this. In the end, because his son gave up his wish, he reunited with his son. The son said that it was not because of desire but because of love.
As a result, nothing happened to Lauder in the end.
Neither legal sanction nor personal injury in the category of "scourge".
The process of Wonder Woman saving the world is really ridiculous.
Let's not talk about the golden armor, except for the wings to defend, the combat power has not been improved in any way, the question of whether it is useful to wear it or not.
Diana and Leopard's fight is too short, neither exciting nor intense.
After defeating the opponent easily in the end, when everyone thought that there was a fierce battle at the end.
Diana influenced everyone in the world with love, and it was over when everyone gave up their wishes.
audience:? ? ? ? ?
Also: the opening Olympics were so wonderfully shot.
Little Diana was disqualified for cheating.
At that time, the elders of Paradise Island taught that Diana could not cheat, and she had to face her inner self.
If it is to let Diana give up the hero Steve Mapping later, it seems that the connection is not strong, and if it is to let Diana face up to her own superpowers, it seems that it does not matter.
end
Finally, that set of gold armor is really not good-looking.
Even a true goddess like Gal Gadot can't control it.
Finally, the second half of "Wonder Woman 2" is really problematic.
This year's Hollywood blockbuster is not very popular.
Of course like superheroes, like Gal Gadot, and then to the audience who want to entertain.
You can still see it.
