One, the plot is messed up.
The film is about a random story of a dark demon king using an ignorant teen to seek revenge for his failure to find someone to blame. Even if I suspect a spoiler, I'm not afraid, because this is no longer the havoc of Journey to the West. Position, Princess Tie Fan is the Jade Emperor's younger sister, the Bull Demon King is the Jade Emperor's brother-in-law, Wukong saves the Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen can't beat the Bull Demon King, Princess Tie Fan leaves Heaven for the Demon King, God's plot is an online game, it's an online game, it's a fairy tale , It's a children's movie... It doesn't matter, we are going to the theater for the Westward Journey to make a havoc in the Heavenly Palace. If you ask me to watch the title of the online game, I will not agree. Even if it is an adaptation, can it be reliable? What and what, it's just nonsense.
Second, the special effects are messed up.
The plot is chaotic, the special effects team is also random, the various models are not in place, the precision of various textures is not enough, as long as the picture is dazzling enough, is it dazzling enough? Shit, 10bit IMAX is not allowed for you to come at will, the 3D feels like a piece of paper, the scene is like a game, the whole film feels that the picture accuracy is not enough, the scene is rough, the cave of Bodhi ancestors is just a few steps, too much to deal with, it is also the devil's Laochao still feels that it is also the shadow of the Lord of the Rings. Pay attention to the combination of special effects teams at the end of the film. A bunch of special effects teams in China have assembled. It can be seen that all the special effects teams are outsourced in a hurry. Because the special effects team does not have a sense of the overall situation, they have to do it randomly, and the feeling of piecing together makes people vomit.
Third, the clip is cut indiscriminately.
Movies must have conflicts and contradictions, and here they are. The first slapstick in the first chapter, the roughness of the picture will not be mentioned, and a seed of revenge is planted. It doesn’t matter why there is revenge and how to revenge, the devil colluded with three eyes and used monkeys to seize The Jade Emperor Throne, is the Heavenly Palace made of paper? The Four Heavenly Kings are really mud tires, Nezha is playing with fireballs, the old man is too old, the monkeys have come to your house to make trouble, you don't even show your face, what a big card. In the end, the monkey obviously saved the Jade Emperor righteously and was punished. The Demon King committed such a big crime but can live a happy life with his wife and children. What about the three eyes? What happened to him later, was he acquitted or just surviving, give me an explanation? What about the Queen Mother? What about Hades? What about Taijinxing? What about the giant god? At the beginning of the chapter, there is King Tota, and later on, are you going home for the New Year? The Tiangong is in a mess, what about the gods from all walks of life? I'm Tfak, what am I looking at? Editor, can you remember what you did?
Fourth, the visual effects are copied indiscriminately.
All special effects are localized. The special effects shots are used for fear that the audience will not be able to see them. It must be obvious. Wukong learns to become a cloth tiger. The model of rhino is very fake and naive. Are you sure this is not a Brave game? The Star Time Tunnel is coming, are you sure this is not a science fiction movie? Patriarch Bodhi rides a crane, is he sure he is not Nezha's master? The gold coins on the ground in the Dragon Palace are really local tyrants, are you sure this is not the Black Pearl? The Demon King's furnace is a Lord of the Rings. Are the little monsters next to him definitely not half-orcs? Is that guy with a ball of fire in his head definitely not the protector in the Lord of the Rings? Heavenly soldiers are all golden helmets and golden armors. Are you sure it is not the clothing of golden armors? Nezha spit out a fireball, are you sure he's not a red boy? Tianma is the descendant of unicorns and unicorns, and the tsunami is not as good as the day after tomorrow. Even the kind-hearted audience will not recognize this messy visual effect combination.
Fifth, talk nonsense.
Patriarch Bodhi obeyed Guanyin? The Jade Emperor is super capable of fighting, but he can't beat the Bull Demon King, and Sun Monkey can dominate without entering the Water Curtain Cave? Erlang God guards the door for the Jade Emperor? Wukong went to the sky just to learn the magic of immortality, to make trouble in the heavenly palace for the little fox of childhood sweetheart? God, my three views, director, are you sure you have actually watched the Chinese version of Journey to the West, are you sure you have seriously discussed the script with the screenwriter? Your interpretation of traditional culture is really the Lord of the Rings. Heaven is not a magic academy. Why is Sun Wukong, a pure Chinese version of a superhero, fooled and naive by you! Movies always try to build a complete world. Your world is a random pile of things from the very beginning. How to convince me? You can’t tell the truth, and the story is not convincing. Please be more serious with the audience, please? Or quit from now on, stop wasting investors' money.
Sixth, the settings are made indiscriminately.
The Jade Emperor is the emperor, how can he not have a crown? In ancient China, everyone who has a bit of identity must have a hat, even a poor scholar must have a rag head. Guanyin has no hair pockets, no halo, Tathagata is a mud tire, Nezha has a rustic face, no aura, just a bad boy next door... I will go, this setting is too subversive. That is to say, the Bull Demon King is still normal. He has a righteous face, but the little monsters around him are all half-orcs. Why didn't they learn the handsomeness of the king? I almost forgot the little friends around the little fox, all of them have strange skeletons. They are all dragon actors from Grimm's fairy tales, forest magic kingdom and Kung Fu Panda, right? There are also flaws in the Dragon Palace. The Turtle Prime Minister is really a turtle, and the palace maids in the Dragon Palace are all models of the auto show. How did you pass through? Please explain!
Seventh, the music is added indiscriminately.
I really listened carefully to all the songs of the cast. There are almost three pieces together, with different styles and no main melody. The music of the 87 version of Journey to the West is still unforgettable. I don’t want you to surpass it, or at least not lower the level. The director doesn't understand music, has no pursuit, doesn't care about details, so he doesn't say much about music, he just doesn't feel it.
Eighth, helplessly comment.
Movies are a complex artistic production process, with multiple units and the wisdom of everyone gathering together, no matter how bad the movie is, it is the work of hard work. "Havoc in Heaven" is also due to some setbacks, but the result speaks volumes more than anything. The director is the soul of a crew, his pursuit, his level can determine 80% of the film, and the remaining 20% is not The plan is determined by many factors such as investors, actors, and later stages.
The film has come to this day to fight for creation. Like other art forms, creation is vitality, but how to create, what kind of creation is good, let go of the success of Hollywood, but look at the domestic, Mr. Tsui Hark's "Di Renjie" series All of them are wonderful, Xing Ye's adaptation is bold and pioneering, Ning Hao's humor is cutting-edge and refreshing, and of course there are many Chinese-language directors who are working hard to explore on this road, exploring a new world of Chinese-language movies, while we enjoy the joy of Chinese-language movies. And don't forget their silent dedication while moving. They are also building a Chinese dream...
But Zheng Baorui's "Havoc in Heaven" is not included, because this is a purely commercial children's film. The box office vicious circle of Chinese-language movies can no longer cheer it on, it's a pure nightmare.
