Forgive me for misremembering the SWAT judge as Robocop when I started watching this movie. Maybe it's because they all wear helmets, revealing the lower half of their faces, riding motorcycles that pull the wind, and guns in the sci-fi style. They are all SWAT police officers who represent justice and punish evil.
Personally, I think this movie is a pure entertainment movie, so the evaluation of the movie only starts from the entertainment aspect.
The biggest selling point of this movie should be a series of numbingly violent and bloody scenes, as well as a beautiful heroine that makes people pitiful, and the smooth and unimpeded killing.
Due to the reason I mentioned in the first paragraph, I was still unprepared for the bloody scene in this film. Just as I was eating a spoonful of watermelon, the red tofu brain startled me. However, this film is very distinctive in dealing with bloody scenes, especially those slow-motion scenes. Although bloody, it brings a gorgeous feeling, and a very logical physical movement law for these bloody scenes. The sense of recognition that comes from, combined with a sense of reality, I think this is a good job.
Originally, I watched it alone at first, but it soon attracted a few friends to stop and watch until the end. From this point of view, the film has done a good job in effect, and there is a strong action color in the scene.
Speaking of the shortcomings of this film, the plot is slightly outdated and lacks bright spots, and the plot feels a little empty.
Although the film uses a very majestic and futuristic scene for the environment at the beginning, at the last look, the previous environment description is disappointing, because the plot of the film has nothing to do with this majestic environment at all.
About the mutation, about the SWAT Dredd himself, about the background of some main characters, the background of some main characters is completely unclear, so that audiences who have never seen the original are puzzled, like the police officers and assistants of "New Police Story", who got into the "New Police Story". X-Men, the male protagonist's helmet, feels like it's borrowed from Magneto to prevent the SWAT-minded professor X's granddaughter from reading her mind.
The new generation of clothing is more refined than before, especially motorcycles, which are so cool and full of technology. Seeing the chin of the SWAT male protagonist, at first people mistakenly thought that Stallone was back again, and the male protagonist was also in the whole film, keeping his mouth shut like Stallone. Although it was cool, it was also confusing, even together Friends who watched the movie couldn't help but say, didn't the police station pay wages? And the degree of deformation of his mouth in the whole movie is divided into three situations: "someone owes him two dollars", "someone owes him two five dollars" and "someone owes him five dollars".
I guessed the beginning, I guessed the process, but I didn't guess the ending. I thought that the kind heroine would change the cold SWAT police officer and have a warm happy ending, but I didn't expect that the gentle girl would be transformed by the SWAT police into a female man who would no longer hesitate to kill criminals.
Originally, when she killed the soft-hearted sister paper of the criminal and the female police officer of the Infernal Affairs quartet, she was completely surprised by her straightforwardness.
In addition, to talk about the highlights, the film's description of the state of drug use can be described as appropriate. The slow motion of the gorgeous fragments makes people feel a sense of floating.
Finally, to sum up, as an entertainment movie, this movie is still well made, with gorgeous bloody scenes, hot shootouts, explosions, beautiful heroines, cool male protagonists, and some looming YY. It's just that there was a lack of turning points in the later period, and finally it went to the road to the West, which is a bit regrettable.
