For works on the Hollywood assembly line, such as Spy Wars, the way to comment is very simple, that is, to discuss whether it looks good or not. My conclusion is: basically completed the task of entertaining the public, there are scenes, jokes, love, back and forth, and by the way feminism and European beauty.
But just like the same dish, if the raw materials are not good and the dishes are not delicious, then everyone can forgive it. But for the spy war with a good dish, it can even be called a feast of excellent raw materials. The final taste really has its resources.
Why does it lead to such a result? I think it's precisely because it is too assembly line to let go. Today, when all action movies have to be "hand shaken", the picture processing of this film is too smooth, and the explosion scenes are a little redundant, reminiscent of classic Hollywood action movies in the 1980s.
As a romantic action movie with a comedy color, Dangerous Spy Fight could have been more interesting. Tom and Cameron both have unique talents in comedy. Tom has "Tropical Thunder" and Came. Long Ze is the heroine of comedies such as "I'm Crazy for Mary" and "Love in Las Vegas". However, the "burden" of the dangerous spy war is far from dense enough, and it is also too gentle, which also reduces the sparks produced by the hero and heroine in the play. Compared to "Smiths", it's still a bit short.
The point is, if this film excludes Dano, who plays the role of a young scientist, then you say it is a film 10 years ago, I believe no one will doubt it. And in fact, 10 years ago, Tom and Cameron were more heroic, and the box office must be better.
Of course, you can also say that Hollywood movies are pushed forward 20 years and pushed back 20 years. There is not much difference in essence. That's right, but the audience's viewing habits are quite different. The rhythm of the spy war is acceptable, but it lacks something, something that can stimulate the audience's adrenal hormones. For the suspense film, that is the final truth. For Spider-Man, it is the scene of flying over the walls between the high-rise buildings. For the war film, it is the flesh and blood of the final battle.
Crisis spy wars lack this kind of thing, and that is the G-spot of the audience.
Therefore, although its raw materials are very rich, as a comedy, its laughter can be more open and nonsense. As an action movie, its sense of rhythm can be stronger, and finally, as a movie with European scenery, its music can also be more prominent.
But for the so-so North American box office of this film, I really want to scream for Tom. Compared with those Hollywood blockbusters that are illogical, chaotic, and completely emotional, this film can still show us behind the scenes. The sincerity of the staff. Especially when Tom is so old, I don’t know how many action movies can be made.
In this season of bad movies in the domestic movie market, I still recommend this movie to everyone. The movie, going to see this movie with friends, this summer will be especially worthwhile.
