Reviewed the Fast and the Furious, Jumanji 2, The Tooth Fairy, The Mummy some time ago. Although he is also an action star, compared to Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Statham, he is more literal, more straightforward, and more like a vase. There is no derogatory meaning here. On the contrary, I like this style very much. Fighting stars like Schwarzenegger's True Lies have a bit of that meaning.
The first movie I watched Johnson was The Mummy 2, and the Scorpion King that came out last made my eyes shine, but his scenes were too few. Then there is the Fast and Furious series. As a fighting star, he has improved a lot than before, but he still feels that kind of temperament in him to tell stories to children, that kind of fast, accurate fighting state is almost impossible to find, he seems to always Trying to dress up smarter rather than stronger, but his muscles betrayed him mercilessly. Sometimes it's like that, when you're trying to be a character, something unexplained about you will hold you firmly in one direction like an anchor on a ship, leaving you helpless. After that, I was fortunate to see another of his works, Tooth Fairy. I think this is suitable for him, but the audience's positioning of him is a fighting star, so this film is tragic again. I recently watched his Jumanji 2, where he and Kevin Hart worked so well together, I believe he found his feeling in this movie, which was before Jumanji 2, although I can watch it Kevin Hart's cooperation isn't that mature yet, but he's enjoying it.
In this movie and Jumanji 2, the characters he plays all progress from being strong on the outside to being vulnerable and eventually becoming strong on the inside. In the process, they all have physical advantages, but they are not at the critical moment. Due to his inner weakness, he fell off the chain, and finally became a successful self-breaker under the encouragement of his teammates. Compared with Agent Oolong, Johnson in Jumanji 2 is more mature and more able to integrate into the role.
Kevin Hart's support for Johnson has been enormous and selfless, and he and Johnson's roles complement each other more and more perfectly. Maybe if there's a script that fits their style better, they'll shine.
In the movie, Jason Bateman's performance is still perfect, and his interpretation of a rogue is unparalleled. His joining adds a lot of color to the movie.
The main problem of this film is probably that the idea is relatively old-fashioned. To talk about old sayings, it is always necessary to come up with some new ideas. If the new ideas are not enough, they will be badly criticized. This is one point, and another point is that the supporting roles of this film are not good enough. Except for Bateman, other people have almost no acting skills. This is even worse.
I hope Johnson can find his own way and go smoothly!
