By the way, I watched "Now You See Me 1" a year and a half ago. I thought it was an assembly-line Hollywood blockbuster before I watched it, and I didn't care much, but I surprisingly liked it after watching it.
I went to watch "Now You See Me 2" today. With the success of the previous one, the all-star lineup will be upgraded again. The plot continues the story of the previous one. After reading it, I want to understand why I am interested in this series, who has no passion for Hollywood commercial blockbusters. The reason is simple: it's the same popcorn, but this one has a different flavor.
To be honest, I watch "Mission Impossible", "007", Jason Statham blabla at home now, and I fast-forward the fight scenes and car chase scenes. I've seen too much, and the same production line has been the same routine for decades, I'm really tired of it. But Now You See Me is a good example of a different approach. Do not rely on fighting, do not play explosions, magic is just a gimmick, use delicate details to connect one trick after another, add hypnotic stalks to guide the plot reversal several times, staged and dramatic lens presentation, not stingy with gorgeous lighting and a grand stage The effect, adding extreme high-angle shooting, rotating lens and even "bullet time" lens tricks, attract the audience's attention and create an immersive and exciting feeling. Yes, this way of presentation is indeed quite bluffing, coupled with the wonderful soundtrack and the appropriate rhythm editing, I am also very happy sitting in the theater seat and want to rock along.
But how long can the excitement of walking out of the cinema last? The answer is quite worrying. Because this gorgeous packaging has been stripped away, there are so many loopholes in the logic of the play that there is no way to delve into it. The esoteric narration that mirrors the beginning and end of the film makes almost no mention of the main content of the film. The scheduling of the shots is too dazzling and flashy. The most exciting thing is the clips they perform on the stage, and the rest are basically flawed. The most unforgivable thing is that flipping poker is magic! It's not brilliant magic, but some silly deception. The most basic components of magic are gone, and the scene is exciting and gorgeous, but who do you think doesn't understand that it's special effects? By the way, our miraculous translation comrade has forcibly added drama to himself again. This translation is also a free self. At first, I was still counting the places where mistranslations were made, but then I simply gave up. If you can understand English, you should just listen to it. Excuse me.
Talk about this all-star cast. In fact, I also like the cast of the Four Horsemen, each with its own characteristics. In this film, Woody Harrelson, who plays two roles by one person, can be considered to have a good time; Jesse, who has been repeated by the front page and has become "I roll" in his mouth, was really handsome in the rainy night in London, but the overall performance was really handsome. The character image is too flat; Randy is here to raise the average line of appearance, I understand; Liz Capan's performance is too exaggerated and even has a sense of being at a loss; Mark Ruffalo should be the protagonist of this film Well, it is the only character who touched the psychological changes of the characters shallowly, but the back-and-forth plot actually makes this psychological change ridiculous. At the end, I bet that if there is a sequel, his father will be resurrected (feigned death). I don't believe it; as for Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, it's a pity that these two veteran actors are used to pretend to be deep soy sauce characters.
In the end, it's the simple truth. If you like steak with red wine, you will be quite disappointed with it, because even with the most beautiful frosting, it is just a different flavor of popcorn, but what people sell to you is popcorn. what. So listen to me, come in with a popcorn bucket happily, throw it away happily when you're done, maybe you'll still think the popcorn tastes good.
