It's all about Peter Jackson. The setting of steampunk is very good, but the story line is really too drowsy. The abrupt and abruptly stopped father-daughter emotional line interspersed in the middle is inexplicable, and the development of the final battle also confuses the audience.
Many plot settings seem to be very powerful or may be foreshadowing later, and it turns out that it is useless until the end of the film, it is purely taking up time. If it is to pave the way for the sequel, then I can only say that as the beginning of a series of movies, it is the most important to introduce the world view and basic character plot logic. Even if the foundation is not laid, how can a skyscraper be built.
Inconsistent, clueless plot lines waste Hugo Weaving's performance.
One star for Peter Jackson, emotional points;
One star for steampunk settings and special effects, after all, this setting is still very attractive, and the special effects and pictures are also good;
One last star, for this amazing, incredibly deliberately "balanced" cast: Caucasian white males, Asian females, Indian females, black males and females, American white males, and so on. All-round and multi-level care of race and gender, but also for the camera, to gather such a group of people, casting is really hard...
