Just after watching the zero-point premiere, I was passionate and desperately coded to write this hot, just-released film review.
On December 7, 2018, the last super-British movie of the year was finally opened!
"Neptune"
Aquaman
Compared with other super-British movies, "Aquaman" has been set a full 2 weeks earlier than North America.
Finally, there was no long wait, and we also experienced the joy of watching the movie in advance.
The practice of releasing the movie 2 weeks in advance shows that DC attaches great importance to the mainland film market.
This vow is the first to win the crowd and welcome a good start to the box office!
In the next few weeks, the national filming rate will be 65%, which is unstoppable!
As a nympho, I think that as long as Wen Ziren is in charge, "Aquaman" will be half stable. Even if the high-level interference is arbitrary, I am not afraid!
Sure enough, from the early word-of-mouth comments, it has been blown up!
Underwater "Avatar" + Undersea version "Fast and Passion." "The best DC movie since "The Dark Knight"." "Adventure, fantasy elements and stunning visual effects, Wen Ziren made a bold and fearless Superhero movie."
On the one hand, the word-of-mouth continues to soar, but on the other hand, it has a very demon-looking propaganda style.
Since the warm-up of "Aquaman", netizens have started spoofing and teasing again and again.
There are a lot of offline promotions such as materials and premieres, but online ones are reluctant to buy hot searches.
DC fans all talk about Warner and DC on Weibo.
"Is Haiwang your own son?!"
You have to know that DC’s most popular movie in the Mainland is "Justice League", but the box office is only a mere 690 million, which is a thousand miles away from the right door.
Is it because of this that propaganda has become super-Buddha? ?
After all the calls came out, Aquaman was finally bought by his father for a hot search!
Although the propaganda is very demon, but after all, he is a sea king, a hero who waves in the water, and always does not take the usual path.
Does "Aquaman" really look good? Is there a legendary god of spicy food?
Let me speak slowly...
Must-have for movie viewing: Sea King's past and present life
Before watching "Aquaman", you don't need to make up movies such as "Justice League", and you don't need to make up any comics.
But in order to have a deeper understanding of the characters, I will first give you the story of the sea king.
Aquaman , a man who knows how to play in water, but he has no water at all.
His original name was Arthur Qureia , also known as Aquaman, diving Xia.
Aquaman is the king of Atlantis, rules the Seven Seas, and is also one of the founders of the Justice League.
He first appeared in 1941's "Manga".
A dignified king, he has become a hero who is forgotten and often mocked and spoofed .
Do not believe? Even Wen Ziren said he was funny.
Obviously fast in the water, he just ran back and forth on the small fish and shrimp.
Guess what happens when Aquaman goes to the toilet?
Although being ridiculed and spoofed, the strength of Aquaman cannot be underestimated at all!
He has one of the best endurance, speed, and strength.
With extraordinary strength, he can lift a submarine and even knock out Superman.
As the king of Atlantis, he can breathe in the water, ignoring the pressure of the water.
The speed in the water is also amazing, coming and going freely and fast.
In fact, these are a piece of cake.
His best skill is to telepathically communicate with sea creatures, to control and command them.
In addition, he has one of the most powerful weapons- Neptune's Trident.
This trident is a symbol of Atlantis and the leaders of the Seven Kingdoms.
It can control the sea, call the wind and rain, call tsunamis, ice and snow, and even release electricity.
What's more, this trident can be reduced in size and is easy to carry (can't be put in the ear like Monkey King).
Anyone familiar with comics knows that the story of each hero may be restarted and changed at various stages, and Aquaman is no exception.
During the period of "Golden Age", "Silver Age", "Infinite Earth Crisis", "Restatement of Origin", "Flash Point" and "New 52", Neptune's story has undergone corresponding changes.
Among them, one of the more widely circulated versions is:
Queen of Atlantis Stuart Lanna very curious about the outside world, in a sneak escape when caught in the positive with.
According to Atlantis, she was sentenced to exile.
In an accident, Atlanta met Tom , the lighthouseman, and the two had been in love with each other for a long time.
Later, she gave birth to the love crystallization with Tom- Arthur Curry.
From an early age, Arthur showed abilities beyond mortals:
At about 10 months, he can swim freely in the sea.
At the age of 2, he had been able to play with marine animals in the sea for more than an hour.
The life of a family of three is so calm and happy.
It wasn't until her death that Atlanna told her husband about her life experience and that Arthur was half-human and half-Atlantean .
After Atlana's death, Tom began to train Arthur to help him release his superpowers and one day return to Atlantis.
In the newly opened "New 52" period, the story of Neptune has changed again.
Arthur, who grew up in a single-parent family, had never seen his biological mother. He felt that his mother had forgotten him.
Until the death of his father, he decided to return to the sea, looking for Atlantis, looking for his mother.
In fact, Arthur did not know that his mother had already been imprisoned by the captain of the domestic violence guard.
Atlana took the opportunity to take her second son Aum back to the land, but was killed by the lust-inducing Aum.
In the end, Arthur avenged his mother by his own ability and captured Aum.
Yes, Aquaman has a younger brother, Oum, who is also called the Lord of the Sea.
Aum first appeared in 1966, and the origin story is also in multiple versions.
His relationship with Sea King evolved from a half- parent to the last half-father , but his ambition to become Lord of the Seven Seas has never changed.
In the "New 52" period, his origin is this:
Aum is the son of Atlana and the captain of the guard, but because he covets the kingship, he kills his father and mother.
He was even ready to attack the human land frantically, and even flooded Boston.
In order to save the world, Aquaman defeated Aum, regained the throne, and imprisoned him.
Behind successful men, there is always a great woman.
Behind the sea king, there is also a woman helping him and supporting him.
This is Wang's woman- Mera.
Although Meila's origin has been restarted many times, she has always had a lingering love with Sea King, but she has also withstood many tests.
For example, she and Sea King's son were assassinated , and the two eventually parted ways.
What's more bloody is that during the "Flash" period, Mera even found that Aquaman and Wonder Woman had a leg.
Can't be cuckold for no reason!
So, she went to the Wonder Woman to inquire about the crime, but was killed by Wonder Woman (Finally relying on the Flash to reverse the time, and this was restored.)
In addition to having the support of your beloved woman, you also need a strong opponent to stimulate.
After all, a great hero needs a powerful opponent, so that he can release his potential and make the story more exciting.
For Neptune, the black manta ray is his lifelong enemy.
The fate of the Black Manta Ray is the same as that of the Ocean Lord. No matter how he restarts, he is an extremely evil but tragic character.
As a teenager, he was kidnapped, turned into a laborer, and even suffered sexual assault.
Once, he met Neptune and asked him for help, but Neptune did not save him.
From then on, he hated Sea King to death.
He began to study the production of diving suits, and eventually became a mortal enemy with Sea King, becoming the strongest villain.
During the "New 52" period, the grudge between the black manta rays and the Neptune was: Neptune killed his father by mistake. In order to avenge him, he became a mortal enemy with the Neptune.
The black manta ray is an ordinary person, but he is particularly good at mechanical engineering.
Relying on the combat equipment developed by himself, he can go to the sky and enter the sea without fear of the high pressure of the deep sea.
Even his equipment can eject red laser rays.
These weapons can make Aquaman a little overwhelmed.
It is worth mentioning that Aquaman had his hand severed twice, one of which was given by the black manta ray.
This shows how powerful he is.
Golden lineup, revitalize DC
The movie "Aquaman" is a story that happened after "Justice League" .
It is not a copy of the original comic story, but a combination of the later periods of the comic "Infinite Earth Crisis", especially the "New 52" period.
Then let's talk about this story first, it mainly revolves around two lines going side by side:
The first line: Sea King looks for the lost trident and seizes the throne.
Aquaman has always lived on land, he does not miss the throne of Atlantis, and has been living a quiet life as a hero.
It wasn't until the appearance of Mera that things changed.
Mera told him that his half-brother Aum deliberately provoked conflicts between the sea and the land, preparing to start a war, and that a catastrophe was about to occur on the sea and the land.
In order to save the Atlantis people and the humans on the land, he can only give up the life of the world, return to Atlantis, and assume his responsibilities.
The other line is the love line.
The love here not only refers to the mutual affection between Neptune and Mera, but also refers to the epic and tearful love between Neptune's parents, that is, Atlanta and Tom.
A good line of love can support and explain the character's shaping and psychological activities.
As the director said: "The love between Atlanta and Tom is not only the skeleton of the entire movie, but also every detail of the role of Neptune."
For example, "wild species, hybrids", or the crystallization of parental love? Aquaman needs to face his awkward status as a half-man and half-Atlantis.
For another example, my mother has been absent, Hai Wang missed her very much, but she also resented: "Why didn't my mother come to see me? Did she forget me?"
This also explains why the relationship between Sea King and his father is close, and it also explains why he does not want to leave the land and return to Atlantis.
In addition to having a good story core, "Aquaman" also has an extremely powerful golden lineup.
As the sixth work of the DC Universe, "Aquaman" has a long and tortuous road to change.
The live-action version has been developed since 2004, and it has experienced various screenplay screenings, screenwriter substitutions, and interference from other project development.
It was not until June 2015 that it was finalized to be directed by Chinese director Wen Ziren .
Those who are familiar with Hollywood movies are familiar with Wen Ziren, who is the "Wen God" in the population .
As one of Hollywood's hottest genre film directors and producers, his representative works are "Chain Saw", "Call of Souls" universe, "Fast and Passion 7"...
As long as there are movies he participated in and produced, the quality is generally not too bad.
Therefore, when I heard Wen Ziren directed "Aquaman", my feeling was: steady!
As the man behind the movie , Aquaman is played by "Xu Jinjiang No. 2" Jason Momoa .
His "Horse King" in "Quan You" captured the hearts of thousands of young girls with his wild eyes, strong figure, and sexy posture.
In the words of Mimei, "He has chest, arms, back and hips, but calm but gentle, warm and domineering, and Superman is like a Chihuahua in his arms. "
I have to say that the role of Aquaman is too suitable to be played by Jason Momoa!
He seems to have come out of the original comics.
Even the director sighed with emotion: "I am very thankful that Aquaman is played by Jason Momoa. He himself is a bit stupid. I think Aquaman should have such characteristics."
The safflower should also be lined with green leaves.
In addition to having an absolutely suitable protagonist, a supporting role from Acting Online is needed to support the entire movie.
Mera is played by Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard .
Sexy and charming, with red hair, she is absolutely fascinating.
Those who are familiar with her should know that Depp's divorce case with her is raging, and domestic violence scandals have been exposed one after another.
She also had a brief love with Tesla founder Elon Musk .
Nicole Kidman , the goddess of immortality and Oscar-winning actress , joins in to play the mother of Aquaman.
May your heart resemble mine, and you will surely live up to your love.
Atlana spent her whole life thinking of her son and husband who landed on the ground, and it made people tears into their eyes.
Wen Ziren's queen actor Patrick Wilson plays the villain Aum.
For the throne, he did not hesitate to kill innocents and create conspiracies.
Don't pretend to be scumbags, don't catch ghosts, this time the look is the most handsome of all his works.
Visual spectacle, majestic
"Aquaman" did not continue the DC tradition of the Batman series of bitter hatred and dark wind; instead, it blends various styles such as high-tech wind, dark wind, dazzling wind and so on.
"Star Wars" and "Avatar" in the water, "Fast and Furious" under the sea , are absolutely worthy of the name.
The underwater world portrayed in "Sea King" is colorful, magnificent and epic.
The underwater world is scattered with seven kingdoms such as Atlantis, Saltwater Country, Fisherman Country, and Trench Country .
They were originally residents of Atlantis, but because of the sinking of the capital, under the pressure of survival, they continued to evolve and became various creatures.
Every visual effect in the movie is magnificent.
Atlantis, the Sahara Desert, Sicily, the Trench Country, the innermost sea, etc., every scene is full of amazing imagination.
When I watched it, I was in awe all the way, wandering on the big screen.
Various magical beasts also appear in the movie.
"Pippi Shrimp", seahorses, sharks, mosasaur mounts, "big crabs", nationals of the Fisherman Country...the scene is vast and magnificent.
"The sea is dreamy and beautiful, but also unfathomable and terrifying."
Wen Ziren, who started the horror film, will definitely add his own private goods and add elements of horror and horror .
For example, the section of the Haigou Clan’s adventure is a little bit horrible.
People with intensive phobias will surely cast a shadow on the group of terrifying and brutal, hunting monsters.
In short, the marine world created by Aquaman is a beautiful place, it is exquisite, magnificent, and colorful.
You need to go to the theater to feel and enjoy yourself, and your eyes will be happy.
Such a wild visual effect, shortlisted for the "Oscar Best Visual Effects Award", so easy!
Action scene, hearty
In addition to the unimaginable visual effects, the action scenes made in one go also left a deep impression on me.
Within a few minutes of the opening, there was an indoor long-shot fight scene.
In the small space of the submarine, a head-to-head close combat was launched.
The parkour fights on the rooftops of Sicily, the long shots of the flowing water, are particularly cool.
The brothers are in a duel, with swords and halberds facing each other, tit for tat.
Undersea beasts fight and fight on a large scale, magnificent and magnificent.
Every action scene is really going up into the sky, going up the mountains and down the sea, hitting the sky and the dark! Super burning!
Presumably this kind of high-impact fighting will definitely be loved by action movie lovers.
In order to make a large number of fighting scenes in the movie show perfect results, the actors are also striving for perfection.
Jason Momoa has learned special skills such as judo, jujitsu, and martial arts.
In an interview, he said, "There are too many fighting scenes in Aquaman, and there are still underwater feelings. The stuntman is also constantly injured."
In order to film action scenes such as rooftop running and battle, Amber Heard also prepared more than four months of high-intensity stunt training.
Patrick Wilson continued to exercise and increase his diet in order to coordinate with Jason Momoa.
"All great superhero stories should make people feel that they need to learn from them, and let themselves know that you have the ability to do great good."
"Aquaman" is not only the birth of a king, but also the sublimation of a hero.
With hearty action scenes, tears of emotional lines, and visual spectacle beyond imagination, you can experience the brand new DC world created by Wen Ziren.
I myself was bombarded by vision for 2 hours and 20 minutes, and I didn’t feel tired even after staying up late to burst my liver.
As the most important work of the year, it deserves it.
