The reason is very simple. The plot of this movie is very simple. It has been the case since the first one. It is very disappointing to say that there is no plot of a certain one, because it is always a straight and straight story, and there is almost no curve. Few people are fascinated by this movie because of its "story" and "plot". What really makes people want to stop it is the perfect visual effect in the movie, and we all know that with the passage of time and the development of special effects, each subsequent film will only perfect this external modification to become more and more gothic. More and more eye-catching, so as a spectator, I am still confident and looking forward to its high level of visual effects as always. As long as the investment is enough, technology is the guarantee of eye-catching.
"Underworld" has always been like all its posters, with dark blue and black tones. From the creation of the environment to the clothes of the characters, they are very Gothic. This is undoubtedly for many beginners Gothic fans or vampire fans. Of a great temptation. In "I", this medieval black classic and modern industry and advanced technology have been perfectly blended, high fasion while not losing commercial, the primitive wildness of werewolves and the ancient temperament of vampires have been preserved but extremely Describe the high-tech contest between the two races. Stone bricks, castles, heraldic patterns, vampire teeth, elders, Lolita lace corsets, black leather jackets, silver darts, muscles, pistols, doctors, laboratories and other elements are full of temptation. Almost every screenshot of the movie can be used as a computer desktop. The static effect is perfect, and the splendid fighting satisfies the audience's YY about speed and power. With the occasional high-tech weapon, it is accompanied by a beautiful heroine. With the beautiful male protagonist, you don’t need to think about the plot at all when you watch this movie. The plot is too complicated and it may damage the visual enjoyment. This may be called ironic and ironic.
The above is too far away, in fact, it is to pave the way for the positioning of "Rise of the Wolves". Because it is a "prequel", the time trace is not aided by high-tech weapons, and because it is a "wolf race", this movie follows the route of loving nature and loving animals. These two motivations should be clear before we watch this movie, otherwise the enthusiastic audiences who go to the cool fights in "I" and "Evolution" will be disappointed, and those diehards who are on the side of vampires. Will be disappointed because the race on his side has been reduced to a supporting role.
Putting aside the weak plot as always, the setting of the environment for the return to nature is too easy. Two locations-the castle and the forest, two locations in the castle-the luxurious life of the noble vampires and the inhumanity of the slave werewolves (It's not a human...) Encounter. If such a few simple scenes can't achieve the ultimate, this movie with visual effects as the main feature is really unreasonable, let alone the forest scenes. In fact, the dark blue and dark tone used this time has completely become a "concealer". There are basically no close-ups in the old Vic’s meeting place except for his old man’s seat. Of course, the stone statues on both sides of his seat are very stunning. The black-hearted workshop where the werewolf works has performed the mess to the extreme; in addition to the various doors that must be close-up, and Princess Sang’s boudoir, there is barely a trace of nobility, but there is really no other scene that can satisfy the aesthetics of the details. , If it weren't for the "concealer" coverage to make the cold atmosphere accompanied by the cold creatures, this one would lose a lot of irons.
So I can't help wondering where the money went... Yes, it went to the protagonist who was thrown to us, the werewolf brothers. At a glance, the werewolves in this episode are madly transforming and shouting madly. Compared with the vampires shrank in the castle, the momentum is absolutely overwhelming. The werewolf transformation scenes in the first two movies are very light. I watched it once or twice. This movie is changing, but I still feel very enjoyable after watching it. At least I saw the body expand and the bones became bigger and the skin color became black and hairy. The process is very cute for many girls. We all love large furry animals, just as boys love the white breasts in the black tights, laugh. In any case, it is very obvious that the scenes of werewolf transformation pay more attention to details than the previous two episodes, and the speed of transformation has also slowed down, which proves that the average amount of money spent per frame is more, and the amount of money spent can and slow down. It is proportional to how much. As the story about the old wolf clan, the money still hit the spot, and the progress of this transformation stunt is also worth learning and learning from in the future. But I have one more thing to wonder-because all werewolves are male? Is there really no one cute female werewolf...? Gee.
Let's talk about the characters after talking about the environmental effects. Old Vic is noble and treacherous, Princess Sang is beautiful and lewd, and Lucian is not handsome and hairy.
Since "I", Old Vic has been the dream lover of many teenage audiences. He is of aristocratic origin. His temperament is a mixture of innate classic and noble. His husky and irresistible voice is full of wind and frost, and a mellow English. English-style English kills the audience in a flash, which is completely a model of mature (super familiar...). As an old landlord, he is full of businessman's wit and cunning, high IQ and high leadership skills. In addition to the paternal love for Princess Lin in "I" and the paternal love for Princess Sang in "Wolf Race Evolution", countless girls with Electra complex have been sprung up.
It's a pity... The scheming old Vic is still inevitably reduced to a treacherous and low-level treacherous contradiction in this movie. In the first movie, he is full of leadership skills and can hardly control the many silly spirits in this movie. , As one of the three elders, he couldn't even beat his daughter and son-in-law, but escaped by the waterway. People can't help but sigh at the difficult role of old Vic, who is looking for a sense of existence in the cracks.
However, having said that, he has a very good image and became the poster for this movie. Even if I get the poster of the old Vic, I will respectfully post it in a conspicuous place.
Princess Sang’s temperament is full of some hormone-stimulating factors, beauty is certain, but sensuality also coexists, at least compared with the first two otherworldly Princess Lin, she is still quite dusty. Due to her premature death and lack of preparation, Princess Sang’s role is relatively thin. Although she started the cruel battle between the two races that lasted for hundreds of years, although she was an ancient and beautiful legend that made the werewolves and vampires in the future Looking up for it, although she was still the main reason Princess Lynn was spoiled later... but she really couldn't think of what she could say. At this point, I suddenly remembered that she was executed in a cute posture, but it was Lucian...
Lucian, too, too much (continued to echo countless times) "wild", young At that time, he was still a beautiful boy, and when he grew up, he came out of this look. He is so unsightly, except for puppy-like eyes with smart eyes, his face is covered with hair. He has a simple, impulsive, bloody and persistent personality. He actually surpassed the gentleman old Vic in terms of leadership. Although this gentleman’s werewolf state is very fierce, he can’t look directly at it most of the time... The injury got better (maybe this is Lycans' nature). The most adorable time was when his subordinate, Da Hei, gently covered his injured body with clothes. There is only Princess Sang in the man’s heart, but he can’t see the old man who hit him right at first sight (actually I want to use "love at first sight"). At that time, he didn’t wear pants, he just gave him a big leather jacket. Where did the pants come from when I was chasing Vic afterwards? ! (Wangtian...)
Just as some comments have said before, the plot is old and simple. The legend of the night with a perfect personality still falls into its own game, and has to be led by this simple plot and forced to change The way of the role. Old Vic was ruined. My beloved Marcos died heroically in "Evolution". Although the remaining old sister died unclearly, I still feel full of grievances and entanglements with these three people. If you are interested, maybe you can take a "prequel" afterwards, specifically about the complex relationship of the three elders...
