Eiffel's Fall

When I was in elementary school, I loved "Special Forces" for ten minutes. I watched cartoons, bought toys, and played with the special forces toys bought by each other. I have been interested in this subject for more than ten years. There is also a Cobra fighter jet on the bookcase. After filling it with water, it can be used as a water gun, but the name of the fighter jet has long been forgotten. Since I think I know the story and characters of "Special Forces" relatively well, but after watching the film, I found that there are still one or two characters in the film that I don't remember the name of. Fortunately, the purpose of this film is not to let the characters in the play stay in the hearts of the audience for a long time, they just want the audience to remember the plot of the story.
But having said that, the story of this film is too easy to remember, it is difficult to remember. The main line of the whole film is explosion-shooting-shooting-explosion-speeding-action-shooting-finally, one more big explosion to get everything done, the main line is OK, then add some mass production standard parts such as love, friendship, family affection, memories, dreams, beliefs, etc. to the main line, and the plot of the story is done. The key to this type of film is that the special effects are realistic and not realistic, and the scenes are designed to be exciting and not exciting. If you only take these two standards to measure, the film is undoubtedly a success.
Judging from this standard, the climax of the whole film should be the fall of the Eiffel Tower. There are not only novel acceleration armors in this episode, but also wonderful chase scenes, especially the fall of the Eiffel Tower at the end, which is really innovative. I even think this scene is even more interesting than the final battle of the film. For example, at the end, the protagonist drives a submarine to chase the enemy in a series of big explosions. Similar scenes existed as early as the "Star Wars" era, not at all. Creative, and other fight scenes are lackluster. However, there is still a bright spot in the final decisive battle. This bright spot should be the snake eye (in fact, I am more used to calling him the masked man) vs. the white ghost.
Both characters are popular characters in the original work, and the action scenes can attract the audience. Although to be honest, the fight was not the most exciting duel I have ever seen. It is difficult to rank the top five and top ten, but for this kind of action For opponent scenes, the beauty of the action scenes is sometimes not the most important thing. The most important thing is who is on the two sides of the duel. It is enough that both parties are very popular. Sometimes fighting is just a formality. Otherwise, why would Guan Gongzhan Qin Qiong be obsessed with good people until now?
This fight also revealed a law, that is, whoever takes off his shirt and shirtless on both sides of the battle is not far from bad luck. This was already proven by Xu Chu back then. I wonder what Bai Ghost was thinking? Maybe the director wanted Lee Byung Hun to show off his muscles? However, the white ghost will never die. How can the producer let the popular character die before the last trace of use value is drained? In addition, in fact, there should be exceptions to the shirtless law, such as Bruce Lee.
This film is a qualified popcorn movie. Whether it can be upgraded from qualified to classic series and traditional series depends on the sequel after this film. The interface of the sequel is also given at the end of the film. The last enthusiasm can still continue a classic series, and the next movie is the key.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra quotes

  • [first lines]

    Bastille Prison Warden: James McCullen, you Scottish pig, you've been found guilty of treason for the sale of military arms to the enemies of our Lord, King Louis XIII, even whilst you sold arms to our Lord himself.

    James McCullen - 1641: Your king is a vile bag of filth who murders his own allies. I should have charged him double.

    Bastille Prison Warden: You tried to overthrow the Crown in conspiracy with its enemies.

    James McCullen - 1641: Unlike your simpleton king, his enemies know that is the true McCullen destiny not simple to supply arms, but to run the wars!

    Bastille Prison Warden: Do you anything else to say before the sentence is carried out?

    James McCullen - 1641: Yes, I do. Clan McCullen is far greater and more powerful than any of you could ever imagine. My sons will continue to rise long after I am gone, as will their sons and, God willing, their sons. It shall not end with my death!

    Bastille Prison Warden: We are not going to kill you, McCullen. We're going to make an example of you! So that no man, woman nor child may ever see your treacherous face again, you shall wear this mask for the term of your natural life.

  • M.A.R.S. Lab Worker: Captain Hauser, Mr. McCullen requires a signature.

    Ripcord: It's not gonna explode, is it?

    M.A.R.S. Lab Worker: They're not weaponized yet, and the kill switches are inside. All the same, I'd avoid potholes if I were you.
