2. There is obviously some Shan Hai Jing vibe at the beginning of the movie, at least the movie draws some ideas from it. But it quickly turned downhill, and when that group of monsters appeared, you would feel that this group of monsters must have been wronged by the sky. You will be discriminated against in the circle! What is the purpose of setting the monster like this? Later, I realized that it was to set off the ugliness of human beings... But you are not a cartoon purely aimed at a young audience. You made all the monsters to be like Teletubbies and Pikachu. Is it interesting? Teacher Xu Chengyi, are you possessed by Shrek? Can't get out of the halo of that movie, can you? I think the characters on the Dota game advertising posters are better than Monster Hunt.
3. Looking back, you can see that this is still a small and fresh animal protection film. It has been emphasized that human beings are too bad and too selfish. The monsters inside even questioned humans, "Saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, which one was not killed by you?" Oh, I didn't see it, these monsters have also studied biology and geography, and the names of prehistoric animals are the same as we are now. clatter! I'm especially worried that the director himself will stand up and intersperse in the movie, "No business, no killing!"
4. Jiang Wu is such an excellent actor, I don't know if I regret it now for taking such a job this time; Not to mention Bai Baihe, now she looks like a housewife who has completely given up on her. She talks about her lines and gestures loosely. She is impatient to go home and coax the child after she has finished fooling the director. Jing Boran was considered a big bargain, because he played the lead role for such a bloody reason. You are such a big man, with an adult look on your face, endless pouting, frowning, and feigning anger, do you think you are very innocent?
5. Ever since Bai Baihe and Jing Boran started hooking up, I knew that this movie didn't intend to seriously think about catching demons. Later, they raised the little demon king together, and I finally understood, what is this? "Monster Hunt" ah, isn't this the big movie "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad"? A strict mother, a loving father, a naughty child, what a happy family of three, ah, according to the current policy, the two of you can have another one, how good it is to be a companion for the little demon king.
6. When Jing Boran and Bai Baihe were playing bundling on the bed, Jiang Wu was singing a musical with a bunch of little monsters in the wild. When the two monsters started to sing, I was already in a circle, but the big move came again. I don't know where a group of little guys from the fairy circle popped out, and they sang harmony together? ! What is this? "The Voice of China"? Are you expecting Jiang Wu to pat his thigh before turning around? What kind of movie is this? What kind of atmosphere are you going to create? I thought this part of forbearance was over, and suddenly Jiang Wu stood up and joined the majestic male solo! Ouch, my God, the instructor even took the stage in person! Don't you ask what the dreams of these little monsters are?
7. Jing Boran was actually pregnant, and Xiao Jing, who was pregnant with the demon king, was still looking for sour things to eat. As far as your imagination is concerned, you still want to write stories about the demon world at the level of costume harem dramas? Is this Xu Chengyi's problem, or is it the screenwriter's problem? All the memes from here onwards are low-level, boring and outdated. Jing Boran asked, "If a person is pregnant with a demon, will he be born a shemale?" The reaction in the theater was embarrassing and cold. Is this a meme from centuries ago? The director still finds it particularly interesting, doesn't it? Not to mention that during the delivery, Bai Baihe held a pair of scissors to Jing Boran's crotch to discuss where to cut the bridge. Hard arch jokes are so boring.
8. In the end, the child squirted out of his mouth... Oops, he is obviously a monster, and he still wants to let people drink milk. Teacher Bai and Teacher Jing are also polite to each other, discussing who has milk. It's really evil, Teacher Bai even held the child in his arms, and was really ready to breastfeed the monster. Next to the theater sat a row of mothers who brought their children to the movies, whispering to each other, "She has no children, where did she get the milk?" Teacher Bai seemed to have heard it, and pushed the children into Jing Boran's arms, letting the monster start. Blood-sucking... You should experience this transformation carefully.
9. From now on, this play has nothing to do with monsters. Basically, it has completely turned into a brutal human occupation of the earth, and monsters are a kind of wild animal on the verge of extinction. As an evil group, human beings have to eat those kind-hearted animals. I think the release date of this movie should be moved forward a month, and the premiere ceremony in Yulin, Guangxi, to cooperate with the local anti-dog meat festival activities, is much more suitable than now.
10. The last third of this movie is getting more and more chaotic. In order to invite big-name cameos, there are many characters that are completely ineffective. Yan Ni, who plays the role of the supernatural, and Tang Wei, who is extremely pretentious, even speaks dialect. Yao Chen, who is too lazy to learn by heart... Does this role have any practical effect other than to make them face? That's all, those propaganda even praised the director's "sincerity"! What sincerity? Don't think that the audience will subscribe to this poor movie because of unexpected circumstances and reshoots. Don't think that the producer is betting on this movie with all his wealth, and people can ignore the rottenness of the work itself. Movies are based on the results. No matter how much sincerity there is, the results will be rotten, and there is no excuse.
11. A play about monsters needs imagination the most. "Monster Hunt" can't even touch the edge of the imagination. It uses a bunch of hard crossbow jokes to support the field, and relies on the actors to do weird tickling. Look at every scene of Wu Junru and Zeng Zhiwei, how unconfident they are, and the director asks them to be so exaggerated; and then look at Jing Boran's grandma, as a director, do you really think this kind of dementia setting can make everyone laugh? ?
12. The most terrifying thing is the end of the movie. As a director, have you added too much private goods? In order to show that you are on the side of the weak and to prove the goodwill of the monsters, you even changed the nature of the monsters? In the end, that Huba took the initiative to stop eating meat and became a vegetarian animal, right? Really, the evolution and self-genetic modification of monsters are better than us humans? In the scene you arranged for Jing Boran and Bai Baihe to hold Huba and consider whether to sell or not, I think the soundtrack should match the song, "The wolf falls in love with the sheep, it's crazy..." What do you think?
13. I really don't understand how the current reputation and momentum of "Monster Hunt" are shaped. Maybe because everyone's expectations for costume films are generally lower, seeing such a movie with some storylines, special effects, and cute monsters is a big surprise. But in any case, its level is sorry for the current reputation.
