When the movie Transformers reaches the fourth part, you can no longer use logic to measure this series. It is like watching the famous Detective Conan. The audience knows that there is always only one truth. The same is true for "Transformers". The golden rule of victory is always an irreplaceable ending. When the plot is hard to see new ideas, the special effects remain the same, and the only thing to watch is the novel Chinese style.

"Transformers" is undoubtedly Paramount Pictures’ most difficult to abandon gold artifact. Today’s Hollywood popcorn movies do not require excellent scripts and actors. As long as they work hard on special effects, they can earn a lot of money. Full, not to mention the golden sign of "Transformers", maybe when our generation ages, the Autobots can still fight the Decepticons on the screen and engage in a never-ending duel. Of course, there is no material. But like the "Spider-Man" series restart, the new bottle is filled with old wine, if it is said that the "X-Men", which is also a sci-fi movie, has made new ideas in sci-fi movies in the new work reversing the future, then "Transformers 4: Extinction" "Rebirth" is really mechanically doing its own law of conservation. With the development of a plot that is almost the same, it can only hand in a satisfactory answer to the special effects, which is adrenaline. The uprising and devastating robot duel is still the only outstanding point of this film’s fruit, and the location of this ultimate battle is also moved from Chicago, the United States to Hong Kong, China in order to cater to the tastes of the Chinese people. The Transformers are not sincere compared to the last time. "Iron Man 3" for China, this time "Change 4" can also be said to truly "implement" the Chinese style.


The all-round integration of Chinese elements in "Change 4" obviously lies in the fact that there are a group of Chinese sponsors who are always happy and the huge dividend cake of the Chinese film market. This film is really a veritable collection of Chinese brand advertisements. Whether it’s a million gold for a second, the god duck waved his hand without a tail, or the classic XX milk with close-ups, looking for Chinese ads in the Hollywood heavyweight blockbuster "Transformers", it has become this endless loop robot. In addition to the special effects in the war series movies, the only thing to watch is, of course, this film only has Chinese elements. Although even the final showdown has been moved to Hong Kong Central, the entire home field of the movie is still controlled in the United States. No matter you want to watch it or don’t want to watch it, he is here, and it will definitely become a new trend in Hollywood movies. The stars are blooming with soy sauce, and advertisers display their products "inadvertently". , The climax of the movie has also marked the ad time or the arrival of the Chinese Star Soy Sauce Party. As for the Chinese "good friends" of Bumblebee, it is just a gimmick to build momentum.


Looking at the Chinese style, the integration of certain aspects of Chinese elements is commendable, but when a Hollywood movie is out of date, it should be blunt to insert various advertisements, which is disgusting to me. This is also the case for such movies, although they have high box office, they are like fast food. The same taste was quickly forgotten by the world, but because of the blood-swelling light and shadow special effects "Change 4" is still a qualified movie, a perfect steel dream.
