a film review that is not a film review. I always feel that the reason why a film is good is to gather many elements. Just like a restaurant ordering food, the ingredients are exquisite, the skill is superb, and the presentation is very good, but the waiter who serves the food is extremely ugly, or the one sitting opposite you makes you taste like wax, and you will have no appetite. I feel Michelin. 2 stars, not as good as the tofu made from tofu on the street.
The analogy may be a bit extreme, but from my previous experience in watching movies, the key to a movie, whether it is good or not, is the fit with the mood. I tell you a story in 90 minutes or longer. No matter what the story tells is wild or unremarkable, how many things you think and feel from it, it’s your opinion of the movie. key. Coincidentally, Iron Armor Fist fits my mood very well.
Let me first talk about its obvious shortcomings or shortcomings. As another product produced on the Hollywood assembly line, the storyline is as weak as ever. It is basically a clear beginning with guessing and a clear ending with guessing. The narrative rhythm is very clear and simple. A down-and-out boxer, a failed robot broker, destitution, a ruined ass, a failed marriage, and even the only confidante who was leaving him, the man destined to redeem him appeared. An 11-year-old Zhengtai and son who doesn't know how to develop such a mature character, he is rational, mature, persevering, and grasps the key points. In short, he is more like his old man than his old man.
His appearance has saved Wolverine from all aspects, financially, emotionally, and even professionally. Of course, the most important thing is to save Wolverine’s personality so that he understands his father’s responsibility and the meaning of a lover. The value of life. However, don't you think that the appearance of this wife is already the biggest loophole in the plot of the film? Moreover, he is also proficient in everything, discovering the robot that can change the world, and inventing the technology that Japan’s world-class experts have painstakingly managed and failed to achieve. There are too many loopholes in this film. That bad face cowboy, that seemingly confidante, etc., etc.
Moreover, when watching this movie, it is full of familiarity. When running with a headgear, it looks like "Rocky". The final battle is similar to "Ip Man". The emotional exchange between children and robots is somewhat similar to "ET". Robots defeating opponents step by step are reminiscent of "Million Baby", sports inspiration, father-son love, road adventures, western cowboys, all types can find a little shadow, no wonder some movie viewers commented that it is a big collection of clichés.
However, all of the above does not affect the four-star evaluation in my heart. It is still the sentence that fits with the mood. Before I walked into the movie theater, I already knew what kind of film it was, so some people didn't know what it was like after sitting for two hours. If you don't like it, why waste your time and money?
First of all, the music is good, and it matches the plot trend. The country style of the opening, the RAP style of a few robot fights, and Eminem's talent are better than those of Lincoln Park in "Transformers." The soundtrack is also good, the fighting sounds of the robots are more delicate, and the sound effects are above the pass line.
Second, the ability to tell stories is good. Similarity and plagiarism are two concepts. Although many elements have been gathered, the director has integrated these into his own story. The whole film is relatively smooth, with peaks and valleys staggered. Although the final ending is a bit sloppy, it takes 125 minutes. Here, there is not much time that makes people feel boring. Simplicity is sometimes not a bad thing. Because the plot and characters are simple, it is easier for the audience to integrate into it. Focus on what the director wants to express, follow the common sorrows, joys and joys of the two fathers and sons and Adam, and finally the final battle, let the emotions Get a total catharsis, happy.
Third, the special effects are good. They are all stories of robots, but compared with the big scenes and big special effects of "Transformers", the special effects of this film are more acceptable and the viewing experience is better. CG captures more realism. It is a good idea to let the robot dance the robot dance, and it also tests the control of the details of the special effects. In the most critical robot fighting scenes, the anthropomorphic effect is realistic, without lacking the mechanical sense of the robot, and the synchronization between the robot and the protagonist is better. In the final battle, Wolverine's turn around and straight punches are more enjoyable.
Fourth, the details are handled well. Looking back on this film, there are always some details of the scene floating in front of my eyes. The truck driving alone under the night, the man-machine training in the morning light, Zhengtai helping Adam take a bath, etc. The director's control of some details makes the film more full.
Fifth, the actors are good. Hugh Jackman, the former Wolverine, showed his proud muscles and stern face several times in this film. Under the premise of such a simple role setting, he still deeply branded him. Make the character more profound. Of course, there is also that Zhengtai, who is still too mature and rational due to the role setting, but through his own performance, he still expresses the 11-year-old single-parent boy's love for his father vividly. There are only two times in this film. The lines of "father" also make people see his attachment to his father's love, not bad.
I have written a lot, all in all, my evaluation of this film is 4 and a half stars, 4 stars is the movie, and half stars is the person who watched the movie together, and the reasons will not be repeated.
Finally, make a simple guess, the probability of this film being a sequel is 70%.
