The setting at the beginning of the film is very catchy, the figures burning in the flames, the more you listen to the soundtrack, the more like a havoc in the sky, which makes people look forward to it. As a result, the protagonist, the little ghost, finally stumbled into the world of monsters by mistake, but what he saw was unimaginative zodiac-style humanoid animals. Yes, the characters are all cute, pigs, cows, dogs, stand up. The grandmaster is a rabbit, it is simply the old version of KING KAZMA in "Summer Wars", and besides teleportation and nerves, he has no appearance or ability as a grandmaster, no matter what, he has to have a bit of Yoda's mind power and wisdom. What, it turned out that a knife in the back of the little kid at the martial arts conference couldn't help, no wonder he couldn't rise to the sky.
It is said that it is the strongest and strongest battle in the monster world. No matter what, you must have the momentum of a unified battle between the demons and the powerful in "Youyou White Book", but it turned out to be a bullfight for Lao Tzu! The two furry beasts are playing sumo wrestling against each other, and the whole film is not allowed to draw swords, so what's the use of carrying them on their backs. Since it is a monster that can become an immortal, there must be some fairy magic, but the result is hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat, and sweaty hand-to-hand combat from beginning to end.
In the first half, the section where you learn from a teacher and make progress together is very beautiful and has a sense of rhythm. It is the most interesting section in the whole film. It was just that he suddenly returned to the real world for no reason, and when he met a girl, he developed calmly. When he went to school, he gave the love token from the girl to the little white face who wanted to kill him. His EQ was so low that straight men couldn't stand it.
The final battle was very beautiful. Moby Dick's moves really gave the feeling of a juvenile pie, but the inexplicable middle-two dialogue and casual life and death are too inconsistent. There is a kind of all the funds are used for special effects. I really can't handle the feel of the script. In the end, the process of turning into a deity and turning into a heart sword, which should have been the most burning and tearful, was due to the lack of foreshadowing in the previous part, resulting in half-toned tears that could not be held back. Compared with the final battle of "Summer Battle" , whether it is touching or burning value, it is several "The Garden of Words".
Having said that, I have complained so much, but the biggest reason is because this is a film by Mamoru Hosoda, not someone else's film. If such a film comes from October Digital, which produced "The Return of the Great Sage", then the whole film The theme of the article will become - the rectification of Chinese animation. And Mamoru Hosoda is a Toshi Kon-style animation director who can create a world with his personal style. In order to cater to the public, putting together such a film cannot reach the passing line.
