Exciting enough, lack of bright spots

Thinking back then, what a great role the predator was. He almost killed a group of special forces in the forest. Although unfortunately lost to the Schwarzenegger brother, losing to the warrior with the governor's life is also considered a glorious defeat. Then the forest got bored, and a bloody storm was set off in Los Angeles. Originally, the iron-blooded brothers were all gangsters. But the local police had to step in and uphold the law. The family with the iron blood suffered another loss. Human beings, especially filmmakers, are always the greatest natural enemies of the predators. Therefore, in order to match the profit-driven filmmaking business circle, they are chosen to smash with the aliens who have no deep hatred, and they have smashed twice, let Businessmen count their money happily in this battle of "using monsters to make monsters". When it comes to Rodriguez, the "bad guy", he personally writes the script and acts as a producer. He is very serious about letting the iron-blooded brothers go out of the rivers and lakes. Although he is not directing himself, he belongs to the "Rodriguez family" after all. Therefore, it also attracts people's expectations. How can this predator play with guitar weapons?

As a very commercial movie, for the plot, unless Nolan is so concerned about the plot, it is generally a one-line one, easy to understand, and the logic is not bad, and it is basically OK if it is carefully explained. After all, everyone's energy is more It mostly depends on seeing Brother Iron Blood kill the unlucky ones one by one. In the setting of the film’s plot, there was a "saw horror" design. Several people came to a jungle inexplicably. Each is the master of the troubles in the society, and they are both sinful and capable. Characters with different backgrounds, different personalities, and different abilities have explained, in fact, the essence is to pave the way for them to die later. For this kind of movie mode, I sum it up as "hunting mode", hunting a kind of "animal" is boring; always letting the prey die is boring; therefore, to set multiple variables, this permutation and combination is much more interesting. Since it is a battle for the comeback of the predator, unlike the first predator, the suspense can be set up. More intense battles and richer imagination on the scene are the key to the success of the film. Unfortunately, this aspect of the film has not been achieved. My expectation. The overall look of the film is more bloody, more bloody and realistic scenes than the past few, which makes people want to "wow", but the visual pleasure is fleeting, lacking sophisticated or organizing or fighting design.

However, to my surprise, this film, which I had expected scenes and special effects, gave me a deep impression on the characterization and performance. Brody's "The Pianist" was too successful. If he succeeded in playing a slightly less literary role, he seemed so out of tune, as if he was acting in a comedy. However, in this film, he is not only good at muscles, but also has a marked improvement in his temperament from the non-literary and artistic roles in the past, and his calm and complex personality performance is in place. Needless to say, Danny Tejo, although "The Scimitar" finally played the leading role, this more "iron-blooded" actor is already familiar with playing the sturdy supporting role. Of course, he was the first to die. I don’t know if it was for Catch the set of "Machete". The most outstanding feature is the role of the doctor. The weak and innocent at first and the insidious at the end, the contrast is sharp but overly natural, which brings the audience a wonderful character reversal. Lawrence Fishburne's role as a veteran who nearly killed several warriors is neurotic and a bright spot. Of course, the most exciting thing is that I finally saw the braided handsome predator again, and the three-point rotating laser weapon that made me feel shining after watching the first one. And this time the predator also showed more IQ. A man captured in an internal battle can calmly weigh the pros and cons and cooperate with humans. Of course, the traditional martial arts spirit of the predator is still shining. From time to time, the laser weapon is not used, and it must be hand-to-hand. This time, it is good to run into a Japanese who is also famous for this. This scene is a tribute to the Japanese samurai film. It means confrontation, sprint, a few tricks and then the result, both falling to the ground, is a typical shot of a Japanese samurai movie. It is the vivid expression of the characteristics of these various roles that make this film, which is not new in concept and has no bright spots in similar films, is still very entertaining.

When "Predator" was released in 1987, the combination of high technology and monsters, as well as the rare meticulous characterization of monsters, made it a highly innovative work of this type of film. After that, to explore this subject matter really requires a more open mind from the producers, and the latest one has not seen a major breakthrough in this regard, and is still shaping new members of the iron-blooded camp (typical "increase the number of villains model" ") To make a fuss about fighting with more frequency, and at the same time, to cut into the clues of the dark side of human nature in the internal human struggle in this process. It is a way, but the development is not thorough enough. On the whole, in terms of stimulus, the film looks quite enjoyable, but this stimulus is fleeting, without the heroic impact brought by Arnold and the shock of the predator. I don’t know the commercial results of this film. However, if the director digs deeper into some dimensions, the film still has great potential if it continues to be filmed. It is really not good. Let us take a look at the new fighters and weapons from the predator camp. It is also a pleasant pastime.

    Japanese sword VS Predator is the most ridiculous. The actor didn't say anything about his life experience in the end orz

    It's a bit weak... PS It seems that watching a movie with Xevi's classmates a week has gradually become a rule.

    Royce: You want to lower the weapon?

    Isabelle: [Isabelle shakes her head] I've never seen this jungle. And I've seen most.

    Nikolai: All right, you think this is Asia? Maybe Africa?

    Isabelle: Too hot for this time of year. And the topography is all wrong. Amazon, maybe. I saw more parachutes.

  • Noland: [to his imaginary friend] You see the shit you've gotten us into, man? I told you that. You never listen to me, though. Six more. Six more fucking mouths to feed. I can barely stand living with you.
