'Beanstalker 3' Exclusive Review: Zero Freshness

2018-11-23 16:02 Source: Film Industry Font Size :

The star-studded cast of the film can't make up for the laziness of the film's plot and the old-fashioned laughter, not to mention the rough computer special effects, which wastes the performance capabilities of the protagonists.

"The Bean Agent" series released the third episode "Bean Agent 3" after 7 years. The 63-year-old "Mr. Bean" Rowan Atkinson returns to the big screen to play tricks and jokes, but it is a pity that the starring lineup of the film The brilliant starlight can't make up for the laziness of the movie's plot and the old-fashioned laughs, not to mention the rough computer special effects, which wastes the acting strength of the protagonists.

In the third episode, Rowan Atkinson and "007: Quantum of Solace" "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, and the famous British comedian Ben Miller, who is returning to the show, join forces to fight crime. Ma Thompson as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The British government has suffered a series of cyber hacking attacks, and the real identities of all the undercover agents in service have been exposed. Mr. John Inglis, the old-school "agent bean" played by Rowan Atkinson, is one of the few retired agents whose identities have not been revealed, so Mr. Bean, who doesn't even know a smartphone, becomes the man who saves the British government and fights against it. The only hope for hacking.

"Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko joins

The old-school Mr. Bean wants to avoid hackers and ask for a bunch of "classic" weapons from MI6, while retrieving Ben Miller's partner Bauer to attack. During the mission, Mr. Bean met Ophelia, a mysterious and exotic woman played by Olga Kurylenko. At the same time, the computer system of the British government was constantly under attack. Emma Thompson, played by the British Prime Minister, was busy "putting out fires" everywhere, and sought help from the technology upstart played by Jack Rasey.

This time, "Mr. Bean" Rowan Atkinson once again showed his "rubber face" acting skills with ease, and continued to play the special agent favored by the god of luck, playing a lot of tricks. Ben Miller's comedy is just as good, playing Mr. Bean's incredibly smart and faithful assistant.

The gold medal screenwriters of the "007" series of films, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade, joined hands with veteran screenwriter William Davis of the series to write the script for "Beanstalker 3". The elements of the spy movie in the film are all prepared, not only the secret agents and the glamorous women in the luxurious and high-end bar drinking and winking, but also the thrilling scenes such as the speeding car chase on the cliff mountain road with nine bends and eighteen turns. . However, these contents can only be said to be "standard" for this series at best.

Beanstalk 3 Chinese Trailer

The plot of "Agent Bean 3" can be said to be nothing new. You can probably know the direction of the plot 15 minutes before the movie. The content of the dialogue only exists to promote the plot. To make matters worse, the computer of "Beanstalker 3" is so rough that it makes people playful, and the visual presentation is even more primitive than the "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy", but the latter is the technical level of nearly 20 years ago.

In these few episodes, the way Mr. Bean is designed to be funny is even more old-fashioned. It is still his frowning and clueless foolishness with exaggerated expressions and body movements. In this section of London Street, other playful and funny scenes can only give people the feeling that it is neither funny nor very long, and the freshness is almost zero.

From the script to the production of special effects, "Agent Bean 3" feels like the finished product 20 years ago has been delayed until now. Mr. Bean, who is not familiar with computer languages, deals with modern Internet technology crimes. The general direction of the theme blueprint of this story has the ability to collide with different funny comedies, but obviously this opportunity was missed.
