Last night, I watched Fantastic Beasts 2, which I was looking forward to from the beginning of the trailer. My friends asked me how I felt when I came out, and I answered neatly: cool! First of all, the amount of information in this work has exploded. After reading it, it is expected that some viewers will be dissatisfied, but in my words, just watching the magic war is worth the price of the ticket. What's more, who would have expected the huge Zou Wu to take the super fierce and cute route?
The following content is a serious spoiler, please decide whether to read on or not after confirming this.
Friendly to passersby: low.
It should be a feast for senior book fans. The girl next to me, who should be a fan of ashes, screamed and called her friends immediately after the screening, saying that she had made a reservation. At that time, Hogwarts reappeared on the big screen after many years. When the young Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall spoke their lines, the key to returning to the most familiar realm in the wizarding world finally fell into their hands.
For someone like me who has read the full series of Ha Qi but didn't study deeply, the acceptance is good. Some episodes react a few seconds slower than the screen. It belongs to the level of "thinking about it and remembering it".
The reason why it is said to be less friendly to passers-by is because I even have to remember the special relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald so as not to "what's going on with this shot?" (CP fans are probably very happy... because I clearly saw a certain The girl next to the picture came out covering her mouth and trembling, she was absolutely happy to tremble...)
Rhythm: The first half is slightly chaotic, the second half is quite burning. The director is very "greedy" in this work, that is, he wants to continue the relationship between the main characters of the first work, but also wants to rush to spread the background at that time, and also wants to explain the settings in one go, and describe the entanglement between the characters well... ...for various reasons, the rhythm in the first half was a bit messy and laborious.
Special effects:
A few words of praise are omitted here. After all, I don't want to copy dozens of ah ah ah here to account for the number of words. Just a reminder: please remember to watch IMAX.
The only regret is that the Fantastic Beasts appear a little less (but the roles of Sniff and Zuwu are still guaranteed.)
Here are a few more impressions:
* Grindelwald is indeed a charismatic villain, with a cherishing tone that seems to be like a father and a brother to anyone, and his impassioned speech in public makes his theory quite convincing. However, after staring at the baby with love and pity, he still made his subordinates take his life without hesitation, showing his cold and bloody side.
* Queenie's "betrayal" was really unexpected, and her unscathed passing through the flames showed her determination that there was no chance of just trying to pretend to be undercover. However, her character is also a predictable consequence: because her previous work revealed that she is the type of love that fills her heart and even her life. When the rules of operation break her love, she can't help feeling that "the world is wrong"
* Although the sniffers' nests passed by in a flash, it was really luxurious, a small room full of gold and silver jewelry... No matter how you look at it, I think Newt is quite rich. But it may also be the result of their own efforts.
* I was shocked when Newt licked the ground like drinking water! The actor is very cool...
* Nicole Lemay's trot made people laugh, and when they came out later, several people were all together "It's late!", I whispered to defend him, "I must have tried my best to run..."
* Nagini is very beautiful. Beauty is also brave, and there is a deep desire for freedom that makes people fall in love. Then, when I think of her ending, it is very sad: this woman who is eager to change her destiny is still swallowed by fate. Being decapitated many years later was probably a relief for her as well.
* The scenes of "love" in this work are dripping with blood. All the people who appear in the play who have loved ones face parting. Either they will be abandoned in person, or they will meet in arms, or they will be separated by yin and yang.
* To whom did Rita say "I love you" at the end? Brother or younger brother? Or maybe the brothers have both?
It won't be like a fanatical fan, but it will probably be certain after a look or two. The grace and charm of "magic" is different from that of superheroes. It was as if the bedtime storybooks of those years had once again pulled me into the other side of the fantasy world. It's a childhood dream. Wish it could be made a little longer.
