It has been a long time since there has been such a movie. Any small action will attract the attention of countless fans, and the expectations of fans have once been exploded. This is the most anticipated Marvel finale "Venom: Deadly Guardian" (hereinafter referred to as "Venom") this year.
This time, Sony chose to put Spider-Man’s rival, the super villain Venom on the big screen, which is undoubtedly a bold move, and it can be described as a gimmick.
The North American region was first released in October and won the box office championship for several weeks. A few days ago, the pre-sale of "Venom" in China was even hotter, breaking 10 million box office in two days, setting a new record for the annual single-player superhero movie pre-sale in the mainland during the same period. The mainland movie market, which has been deserted for a long time, is probably about to revive with the help of "Venom".
So why is "Venom" worthy of such high expectations? After watching the movie, I finally got a clearer answer. On the one hand, it is because of everyone's curiosity about the villain role of Venom, and Mr. Tang has both appearance and acting skills.
On the other hand, the film’s action special effects scenes, the female venom’s deep kiss eggs, and the refreshing feeling of the ultimate battle are also worth looking forward to. Compared with previous superhero movies, "Venom" undoubtedly took a surprisingly dangerous path to victory.
I think that there is no need to do too much science, everyone already has a lot of understanding of venom. "Venom" is a thoughtful symbiosis of extraterrestrial organic life, in liquid form. It needs to be combined with a host, that is, humans to survive, and at the same time endow the host with super strength and abilities. When the venom symbiont and the host combine with each other, it is called venom.
In fact, as early as the 07 version of "Spider-Man 3", Venom made a stunning appearance. Since then, fans have been curious about the past and present of the villain.
Now, Sony has finally put this super villain on the big screen, revealing the mystery for everyone. Importantly, this is also the first superhero movie in the Marvel Universe with a villain as the protagonist. Although it is a villain, the difference is that compared with the fierce venom in "Spider-Man 3", in this personal movie, the venom is not only not fierce, but also a bit "cute".
Throughout the years that Marvel has swept the world, it seems that it is easy for people to preconceively classify the super-British movies into the category of "cool movies". The characters are pleasing and the special effects are exciting enough. As for the logical cause and effect, the rhythm of the plot, and the image of the main and supporting roles. , Are these important? How important is it? Presumably the steelyard in the hearts of every audience is different. After all, everyone's evaluation of the quality of the film depends largely on whether it is what he wants to see.
However, it is obviously unfair to say that the Manga Super British film does not need to be artistic and ideological if it is killed by a single pole. Not to mention the classic "Batman" series directed by Nolan earlier, just to say that the "Wolverine 3: Desperate War" released last year is a well-received manga and jade.
As for "Venom", a comic film that has many fans and is widely anticipated, we may be able to talk about it separately from two perspectives. From the entertainment point of view, "Venom" is very capable of satisfying the audience's need to "see it happily and refreshingly" whether it is in terms of the laying of laughs or the intensity of special effects fighting.
More importantly, in my opinion, "Venom" is not just a "cool film", but is innovative in all aspects. Whether it is the innovation of the old Marvel routines, the groundbreaking exploration of the depth of the film's theme, or the bold attempt to shape the protagonist, they all demonstrate a certain level.
Who is the actor Eddie? Tom Hardy. Please, this is a hormonal man who can make a scene even if he stands still. Who dares to doubt the charm of the protagonist is completely unnecessary.
For most of the film, Tang Laoshi plays a downcast man who is frustrated with both career and love. Wearing a dirty sweater, with shiny hair, he wandered the streets of San Francisco, with homeless people. However, he only needs to use the trick "puppy eyes" at any time, and you will be filled with nothing but: ah, this man is really let down.
The venom that looks fierce and ferocious on the outside also has a very soft side in its heart; when a consensus is reached between it and Eddie, it becomes extraordinarily obedient and obedient. As a result, the super villain has transformed into a superhero. When the venom was possessed by Eddie, the originally terrifying alien monster suddenly became a comedian with a poisonous tongue, and at the same time, Eddie's open life was opened.
Whether it's street motorcycle racing, a ten-to-ten shootout in the middle of the building, or even a decisive battle with another crazy alien boss, Eddie has a living experience of the joy and ecstasy of saying goodbye to Loser. Although Eddie's body is used, he does not need any effort at all. The venom of the universal patron saint is enough to solve everything for him, safe and secure, and quality is guaranteed.
After the first reading, I also reflected on myself, whether it was because I "looked at the human base". While despising Eddie's weakness and annoying, Venom repeatedly helped him out of trouble, even willing to sacrifice himself to protect Eddie.
After accidentally leaving Eddie’s body, Venom stubbornly manipulated Eddie’s ex-girlfriend Anne’s body to rescue Eddie, and returned from Annie’s body to Eddie’s body through a deep kiss. This CP loves It's really fascinating.
In fact, many foreign media have discovered and wrote articles to discuss the existing phenomenon: the CP of the male protagonist Eddie Bullock and the alien symbiosis venom (named Symbrock) won the weekly crown of the CP list of a certain social network for two consecutive weeks. . Rarely, Disney lost in the ability to engage in CP.
And under the popular science that the party friends of the original comics can’t wait, I also learned that at least in the comics, the relationship between Venom and Eddie was indeed quite difficult at one time. Of course, if you want to say that Venom is just gossiping to help Eddie recover his ex-girlfriend, I don't refute it. At the very least, they are also a pair of brothers who complain about each other.
If you put aside the entertainment trend and seriously analyze the movie "Venom", I can also say that it is not concealed.
When Sony’s most iconic superhero Spider-Man returned to the Disney Marvel Universe, Sony eagerly wanted to use the remaining comic characters in his hands to create another movie universe. Fortunately, "Venom" has successfully become the opening of this new universe.
In addition, the innovation of the film "Venom" lies in the versatility of the protagonist's image. In fact, the most interesting aspect of this “monster parasitism in the human body” is the contradiction between dual consciousnesses competing for and controlling the same body, which is also an important part of the character's development curve.
After experiencing doubts and fears, Eddie finally accepted the behavior of a monster parasitizing in his body, talking to himself, controlling his body, and even having some fun in it. And Venom has always guarded Eddie, especially when Eddie was unable to protect himself, he would take action in time; and Eddie’s ideas and Eddie’s principles were accepted in full. Although there are conflicts and competitions between the two, it also makes the characters more three-dimensional and more fun.
Several supporting roles in the film are also functioning normally. Michelle Williams and the leading actor Eddie sparked endlessly. Although they broke up in the early stage, their affection has been spreading in the air. Especially the venom possesses Michelle, and the intimate kiss with Eddie is called the best kiss scene of the year.
I still remember that when the official announcement of "Venom: Deadly Guardian" was officially set in the country, Marvel fans rushed to call out; it completely broke the rumors of "unavailable" that had been making a lot of noise before.
I believe "Venom" must be worthy of everyone's expectations. I'm used to watching the cookie-cutter super-British legends, and occasionally come to a villain who is both good and evil, which is also a new experience. On November 9, team up and go to the cinema to play "Venom"! At this moment, we are all venom.
