The pros and cons of megalodon

After watching European and American movies for so many years, I am familiar with Guo Da Statham. The tough guy in the movie feels that it is the same as seeing Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson, and he slowly feels muscular. In recent years, Chinese and foreign co-productions have become popular, so let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the middle.

advantage:

1. Movies are the most formatted popcorn movies, no surprises but no minefields. Just like when we write essays in the college entrance examination, don’t pursue argumentative essays with lofty ideas, novel themes, and well-established rules, plus clean and tidy pages, you will get a higher score, which is also applied to the movie Megalodon. , The succession of the whole article is basically expected, there is horror, there is cuteness, there is love, and there is brain damage.

2. Because the movie is a 3D movie, the effect is still good, especially under the effect of IMAX.

3. The subject of the deep sea is relatively difficult to shoot. Both the input and the effect require a lot of experience. I remember that the huge investment in "Future Water World" was mainly because the scene of the ocean was too difficult, so I still like it for the subject. .

shortcoming:

1. The embarrassment of the combination of China and the West really slowly overflowed the screen. Watching Jason Statham and Li Bingbing fall in love, it is really awkward.

2. The character of Li Bingbing is not very likable. Maybe the main creator wants to diversify Li Bingbing's personality, so it creates a sense of fragmentation in the character's personality. One second is emotional Virgin, the next second is a rational apology, and the last is a woman The upper body of a man, the love between sons and daughters will be long in the next second, and the outline of the characters needs to be taken up and turned. In less than two hours, it is too difficult to complete so many personality changes, and it is a popcorn movie again. .

3. This may be purely a personal sense, that is, Li Bingbing is really old, and she is still beautiful, but she doesn't feel like she used to.

Here's a spoiler for the full version: (high-energy warning)

Once upon a time there was a Megalodon, then it killed people, then it ran into Jason Statham, and finally it died. (Finish)
