To be honest, when I watched the movie, I felt like I was stuffed with a mouthful of King Kong gorillas, and I was still warm.
…
The following answer contains a small amount of spoilers, but it doesn't really matter if the movie is not spoiled.
-----The dividing line that speaks well-----
Well, as much as I think the film is ?, I admit, it's a well-packaged ?
The heroine, Brie Larson, last year's Oscar winner.
The male protagonist, Dousen, is a man who has the aura of a corrupt male star and can walk sideways by his looks.
The male supporting actor, Samuel L. Jackson, except for Morgan Freeman, he said that no one dared to be the first among black actors.
I won't mention Da Tiantian's No. 1 coffee in the universe.
The most powerful is the production design of this film. It is very retro, it should be rough and rough, it should be fine and detailed, and it is full of jungle adventure style. As a Virgo, I really enjoy such visual elements.
Moreover, standing behind this movie is the huge film and television industry chain of Universal Pictures. Universal Orlando's Kong Skull Island project opened in the summer of 2016, and the number of visits will only increase after the film's release.
In a sense, this movie is actually a giant advertisement for Universal Studios-themed rides (of course, this is also the second work of Legendary Pictures' so-called "monster universe", the first being 2014's "Godzilla" ").
It’s okay to be an advertisement, and Lego is still making big movies, but they do it well.
A movie made by a toy seller is better than a movie made by your century-old Hollywood studio, right?
It stands to reason that superstars, VFX, monster blockbusters, and Skull Island as a popcorn movie seem to be hitting the mark every step of the way. However, this does not mean that you can ignore the soundtrack of the story editing and the overall completion of the movie!
For example, it wasn’t long before we set off, and the photos were taken well, and everyone was having a good time as if they were on a cruise ship. As a result, if they disagreed, they would have to fly a plane through the storm area. The storm area is the storm area, but there is not even a single wave around the ship of the protagonist and his party. Hey, no matter how old the islands are, they are still on Earth, and no matter how special the climate is, they must follow the Basic Law.
For example, exploring Skull Island is like visiting a botanical garden, with a big face close-up and a big face close-up, but the background suddenly changes. However, in the previous picture, Skull Island is clearly composed of many dangerous islands! Even if you say that they crossed the main island and there are not so many small islands, but it's okay to give an aerial shot showing that the adventure team traveled through mountains and waters very hard, right?
For example, the so-called original ultimate Boss of the film, Skull Crawler's shape, came out of Temple Run and went to the wrong set?
I also found some gossip that I don't know where it came from, saying that Skull Crawler was inspired by Caracalla in Pokemon. Well, this is probably the worst time Caracalla has been hacked.
I'm not going to say how inexplicable the soundtrack is and how blunt the gags are. Because, as a special effect monster blockbuster, the worst thing about "Skull Island" is that the battle scenes are basically not innovative.
If King Kong in 2005 broke the jaw of a Tyrannosaurus rex as a visual spectacle, then, 12 years later, after we have seen "Avatar", "Pacific Rim", "Reunion" and "Captain America 3" , King Kong's way of KO the ultimate Boss is just to pull out other people's tongues. Apart from the new height of nausea, there is really nothing new to say.
Yes, Skull Island follows the formula of a commercial movie. However, it only captures elements of commercial films in pieces without figuring out how to do it. So after a bunch of nonsense calculations, there should be thousands of box office on the side of the equal sign, but now it's just a bunch of indescribable material.
Obviously has the potential of "Avatar", but filmed a "X-Men: Apocalypse".
What do you want me to say. spread hands.
Well, since we talked about the box office, let’s say a few more words.
The film's title studio logos are Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures and Tencent Pictures.
What was the last time these people played together?
"Warcraft".
28% on Rotten Tomatoes , 32 on Metacritc . The production cost was $160 million, and the global box office totaled $433 million, with just over $47 million domestically. It can only be said that if it weren't for the fact that hundreds of millions of Chinese players are really sentimental and rich, this movie would have died very ugly.
So if we replace Tencent Pictures with LeTV Pictures, what do we get?
"Great Wall".
35% on Rotten Tomatoes , 42 on Metacritc . The production cost was 150 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 327 million US dollars, which was a terrible loss.
So what is the current reputation and box office of "Skull Island"?
79% on Rotten Tomatoes, 63 on Metacritc. The production cost was $185 million, and its opening weekend totaled $142 million worldwide.
Looks good, let's applaud their progress. But you must know that Peter Jackson's "King Kong" is 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritc is 81 points, and the score of "Skull Island" will definitely fall in the future.
With the current word-of-mouth trend, the box office performance of "Skull Island" is not optimistic. But here we have a doubt first, after all, it has not been released in mainland China. I don't know if there will be a high box office for honey juice by then.
Well, let's talk about something fun at the end. Dad Wanda's plan to acquire DCP failed a while ago, and there is still a $25 million breakup fee that has not been paid. DCP is an old American entertainment company. The Golden Globe Awards (AMA) and Billboard are their home.
Let's say something interesting. With the continuous devaluation of the RMB and the continuous decline in foreign exchange reserves, the central bank's foreign exchange policy is constantly tightening.
So, while watching the same movie and looking forward to the rapid development of China's entertainment industry, I just silently hope that the following dialogue will never appear:
Chinese Tyrant Dad: We're Buying Hollywood!
Hollywood poor ghost: These people are really stupid and rich.
Central Bank Dad: Fuck you.
