The success of the first film is not how good its story is, but the dazzling visual impact, especially the introduction of the Four Horsemen in the opening, which immediately brings the audience into the wonderful magic scene in the film, and the first film. In the second part, because the characters are basically old people, only the appearance of the new female knight played a trick that was far from amazing, and the rest of the scenes seemed a bit too bland.
Several wonderful stage performances in the previous work are the most attractive places, and in the second part, just when we thought that there was finally a wonderful magic show, the plot suddenly took a sharp turn, from a visual effects movie to an action movie, even It can be said that there is no magic show comparable to the upper part from the beginning to the end of the whole second part. The stealing of chips and the fight on the street seem ingenious, but the shock is not enough. The only shock is the part that controls the raindrops. It is also unattractive because of the foreshadowing in the front, and the last "masterpiece" is just a subtle scam.
If the first is like a feast of visual magic in the form of a movie, then the second can only be regarded as an ordinary magic show, as if watching David Copperfield's flight in the air before watching it Like a normal goldfish.
And the plot is too simple. The previous work used all kinds of exquisite magic performances to attract the audience to look down, but the magic of this work is basically not too suspenseful, and the plot is set apart from the recent popular villain whitewashing. People complained, and some details were not paid enough attention, for example, the real and fake chips were not understood.
Finally, Hollywood is really working harder and harder to please Chinese audiences. Anyway, instead of using Chinatown as the country, we can find real Chinese actors, but those Chinese actors who can't speak Mandarin well, don't let them say it. Chinese language is fine, and I doubt that these lenses will appear in foreign versions. The director should still focus more on how to make a good movie.
