Like several sci-fi action giants that have been released this year, the $170 million investment in this film (over the 150 million investment in "Transformers 1") is also used on the blade, and the real money and silver special effects scenes are enough to make people admire. The opening "nano warhead" has already shown its power in the arms dealer Di Stro, introducing clues to the whole film. The ensuing warhead battle brought the first climax. One of the main players of the "Cobra", the "Baroness", made a neat appearance. The sexy and charming posture was matched by her vigorous skills, which matched the popularity of the original man. The tall femme fatale is completely restored to the big screen. In comparison, the character creation of "Duke" (Duke) is somewhat weak, because in the setting, the relationship between the "Baroness" and the "Baroness" is always chaotic, which always makes people feel that it is not as bold as in the animation. Brave. And the companion Ribuck is completely the original tune, gag is extremely funny, and has become a super laughter among many characters. The next step is a typical Hollywood routine. Two soldiers were called into "GIJOE" and came to its secret base in the Egyptian desert to receive hell-style training. During the period, they gave a big show to the headquarters of the special forces. And they gradually integrated into the new combat team, and noticed Di Stro's conspiracy with the "Cobra". On the other hand, Di Stro sent the “Baroness”, “White Ghost” and the master of disguise Zatan to sneak into the “GI” in order to regain the “Nano Warhead” It appeared in "X"), combat aircraft, night crow fighters, flying shark submarines, etc., which greatly expanded and refined the combat space, making it leap to a new level, and also played its own trump card in many similar movies. It is no wonder that even the US military in the real world today exclaimed that the dazzling variety of super weapons shown in the film will be a project of future development, and the film is equivalent to an imperceptible model positioning for the development of future weapons in advance. Another interesting phenomenon is the high-altitude downhill plot, which seems to have become a classic setting for Hollywood action blockbusters in recent years. Think about last year's "Iron Man" test flight and final battle, this year's "Star Trek" Kirk and Sulu quickly descended from space to the Romulan drilling platform, Optimus Prime in "Change 2" appeared in Shanghai, and then in this episode, Ribuck escaped from space by the Night Crow fighter that was eroded by nanoworms. This mode It is even more carried forward, and the people who don't know the truth can wait for the next awesome downhill man.

However, due to the major changes in the relationship between the original character and the story, the film may also be criticized and criticized by old-school fans just like "Transformers". Also the master toy series of "Hasbro", "Special Forces" had already launched its own animation before "Change", and indirectly influenced the birth of the "Transformers" series of toys. When "Change" was released two years ago, many old fans were very dissatisfied with the changes in its basic styling and the changes in the story relationship. In fact, this is also a problem that the producers have to face today. On the one hand, how to transplant these old classics on the big screen to satisfy old fans? On the other hand, for the fans and movie-watching tastes of the new generation, we cannot blindly copy the original structure. There is only a trade-off between the left and the right, but we want a situation that everyone can accept. Speaking of this film, the changes come from two points: one is the relationship between the characters, and the other is the styling of the characters. In fact, Duke and the "Baroness" have nothing to do with the original work. One is a brave soldier with iron and blood and patriotism, and the other is a British aristocrat who became a radical student in the future, and joined the "Cobra" after getting acquainted with Di Stro. In this film, these two have transformed into former lovers. The latter's younger brother has also become the key figure in the breakdown of the relationship between the two. What is even more bizarre is that the younger brother has become our admired "commander", plus " "Bai Youling" and "Snake Eye" in the past (the two in the original work were actually comrades-in-arms before, not playing elementary school art, and killing the master was not done by "Bai Youling"), old fans may really have a headache. Such a tangled relationship reveals the courage and creativity of the screenwriters. As for the original work, the "Baroness" and "Distro" who will be married and have children in the original work have become a "third party." The relationship of the "commander" has also somewhat subverted the original setting. I don't know if there will be more bizarre new relationship settings in the future sequel. If it is really hard to see, Quan should be what happened in a new timeline. But when it comes to character design, it is the "Cobra" that suffers the most. Although the "commander" and Di Stro restored some of the original qualities of the two evil masks in the original film at the end of the film, it is estimated that it is unlikely that they will completely follow the evil and cold image in the anime that is extremely nostalgic and mysterious; as for the master of disguise" "Zatan" is even more featureless. Friends who have seen the original work may be unforgettable but his camouflage face-like appearance, and the "high priest" in "The Mummy" is really not inherited at all, except for the little curvy. Aside from the sneer of Qiaoerlang's legs, it is hard to agree with it. "White Ghost" and "The Baroness" almost follow the original setting, but the most classic "Cobra Soldiers" make people laugh and cry, and they are simply "Black Warrior" knockoffs. As for On the "Special Forces" side, the characters on the stage are considered passable, except that the "Duke" seems to be somewhat different from the original characters. Looking at the remakes of games and anime movies in recent years, it is commonplace to make changes to the characters, so that they are in line with the current aesthetic appeal and can be understood, but don’t abandon the charm of the original work. In the end, a new fan will not accept the old fans. The embarrassing situation is not good.
Like "Transformers", this film is not going to be just one or two episodes. This episode has laid the groundwork and clues for the sequel and the following series. First, the "commander" and "Distro" will definitely escape the great prison and gather new "Cobra" troops to make waves. Second, Zatan has successfully disguised himself as the President of the United States, and the sequel is bound to become a huge hidden danger or the beginning of the story. Third, "The Baroness" may become a member of "Cobra" again, because this episode already knows that her younger brother is the "commander", and it is hard to leave her family. In the original work, she also conspired with Di Stro to usurp power several times and eventually withdrew from "Cobra". Fourth, some new roles will be added one after another. Numerous characters of various colors are a major selling point of the original "Special Forces". As for who will appear, it depends on the meaning of the producer and the director. However, Brandon Fraser, the actor of the "Mummy" series, appeared in this episode as Gung Ho (Flint). Maybe his role in the next episode will increase. Fifth, there may be more passages in the plot that pay tribute to the original work and learn from it. The relatively independent story plots in the original work are very exciting. No matter which paragraph is used, the film will be guaranteed to be wonderful. Such a huge resource estimates that the crew will not I will easily let it go, I believe many fans are also extremely eagerly looking forward to the filming of certain classic scenes.
When "Transformers" has begun to become a little crazy, "Special Forces" has opened up another trick. It doesn't matter whether you are entangled or fighting, but you must have a calm mind. Don't lose control and don't just focus on technology. . Just like the "special forces" gang of super soldiers calling "watch us" at every turn, it is better to look at them, yeah, it is better than watching the brain-handicapped and the mentally retarded. Entertainment, blockbuster, that's not it. What's the matter?
