"Magic Child", the string is not fragrant

"The characters are basically mentally retarded, and the stories are basically soapy."

If there is a blackened superman, what kind of story do you want to see?

In other words, if there is an anti-God of War, what kind of story will we see. Killing the Titans one by one, tearing Hades to subvert Hades, beating Zeus to level Olympus, and then retreating to Northern Europe, and playing Ragnarok at will.

If you think the same as me, then "Magic Child" may disappoint you.

It's really a blackened Superman story, but it's a low-budget country thriller.

Among the production staff of "Magic Child", the most famous is James Gunn, the director of "Silver Guardian", but Gunn is the producer of the film this time, not the director. As for the director and screenwriters of this film, they don't seem to have any good works at present, let alone.

In December 2018, "Magic Child" first announced the trailer. Once the novel theme of Blackening Superman was exposed, it immediately aroused great attention from social networks and the media.

The film tells a typical Superman story. Ordinary couples in rural America have been married for many years and have no children. A spaceship with an alien baby suddenly arrives and the couple raises it.

The only difference is that this time it is a bear child.

It may be limited by the production cost of the film, and it cannot present big scenes like Olympus or Ragnarok. But there are also many low-cost, high-quality horror films like the "Chainsaw" and "The Conjuring" series, and low-cost thrillers like "Escape" and "Us" can also win many battles and even win awards .

However, watching the 91-minute "Magic Child", I was stunned to see the feeling of the 182-minute film, which made people just want to pick up the phone to watch the time and check whether my film review was liked.

To put it simply, all the wonderful scenes of "Magic Child" have been exposed in the previous trailers and news. The casting of the film is very good, and the contradictions are such that the mother who deceives herself and the bear child Superman who is very poor and dare not do it.

After that, there is no advantage. The overall plot is protracted and lengthy, and there is no sense of rhythm. The characters are basically mentally retarded, and the stories are basically soapy.

As for me, I just want to see how this blackened superman ends. I'm sorry, except for the big fart eggs, it will basically disappoint you.

In the film, this young bad superman is addicted to drawing a symbol similar to the Chinese "string". In the film, the sheriff has analyzed the meaning of this symbol, and I personally also tend to believe that this symbol was designed by the young man himself.

No matter how bear the child is, he also has his own logo.

The film is rotten, there is only one concept left.

  • [first of the two post-credit scenes featuring The Big T]

    The Big T: The mainstream media as usual tries to sell you all a load of BULLSHIT!

    [second of the two post-credit scenes featuring The Big T]

    The Big T: Just like that half-man/half-sea creature capsizing fishing vessels in the South China Sea. Like what we were just talking about last week. Some kind of witch-woman who chokes people out with ropes and cords. They are all out there, they are all waiting, and they're all GONNA EAT A FUCKING BREAKFAST UNLESS WE GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING!

    Brandon Breyer: [hesitating] You know, sometimes, when bad things happen to people, it's for a good reason.

    [Merilee is shocked and Brandon is emotionless]

    Merilee McNichol: Brandon, part of my job is to update the school and update your mom on your progress and let them know if you are showing any growth or remorse. And I, I can't take it easy on you because... you're my family.

    [Brandon remains unmoved]

    Merilee McNichol: Brandon, I'm giving you an opportunity to talk to me. I'm supposed to update the sheriff tomorrow and I have to be honest with him.
