"Furious Beast" is a movie whose word of mouth is bound to be divided into two levels. Some people may love him to death, and some people may find it boring. For example, a movie such as the Ultraman theatrical version, children under the age of 12 are bound to give five-star praise, and the vast majority of people over the age of 12 have no feelings for it. Of course, some nostalgic elements or older people with a psychological age below 12 will give it high marks. So don't be surprised when you see that many viewers give "Rage Monster" a high score, it can only mean that there are a lot of moviegoers in our country with a psychological age below 12 years old.
As a children's science fiction film, "Rage Monster" inherits and develops all the advantages of Ultraman:
The plot is simple enough that it is difficult to conform to the logic of reality, but it is not important, and children will not delve into logic. The monsters are realistic enough, although the size is not as large as the monsters in Ultraman, but based on the progress of special effects, there will be a visual experience that surpasses the monsters in Ultraman.
The protagonists are great enough, and they are the kind of men who are just and unyielding in the rubble. The monsters in "Furious Beasts" were created because of mutation, and the protagonist who was shot in the abdomen and was still flying over the walls was more like a mutant human, who could transform into an Ultraman with only one transforming device.
The villains are stupid enough. Just like the stupid and ridiculous villains in Ultraman, the sister and brother villains in "Rage Behemoth" are crazy and stupid. They attract the monsters and don't even prepare a way to deal with them. They are buried in the belly of the monsters in vain.
Of course, the above is not a problem for children at all, they are satisfied as long as they see the monster battle.
The plot of the film is simple and rude enough: a greedy businessman creates a new type of drug, causing several animals to mutate into monsters, and the protagonist with an infinite aura begins a journey to save the world. In the end, of course, the villain died without a burial, and the earth was successfully saved. Other superhero movies need to interpret the hero's growth process, ups and downs, emotional entanglements, but "Rage Monster" does not need it. As soon as the protagonist Johnson appears, the word "hero" seems to be written on his face. Excellent character and charisma are all in one, and other characters have no foundation at all. You will appear when you need to appear, and you will disappear when you are not needed. Such a monotonous character setting can only make people think of Austria again. Terman. Whether it's "Iron Man" or "Captain America", you can feel the personality and flaws of different characters more or less after watching it. But after watching Rampage, you can only remember a few monsters fighting.
In order to be more conducive to children's viewing, "Rage Monster" is also suitable for children in emotional scenes. There is no emotional pretense, no kissing scenes, not even kissing scenes, and the heroine is not sexy at all, so you can take it with confidence. Children go to see.
Some people say that watching this kind of movie is purely for special effects, and a more common saying is that "special effects are worth the ticket price". But if you really want to see special effects, turn on the TV at home and choose from a bunch of free luxury special effects movies. Now is not the era ten years ago, when a movie only depended on special effects, and the audience's aesthetic standards will not stay at the stage of "paying for special effects". Visual presentation is of course important, but the plot, theme, and performance are the soul of a movie. If you spend dozens of dollars and two hours into the movie theater, if you just watch the fight and explosion scene, you will feel tired after watching it for a long time.
Of course, small audiences never get tired, and on this level, Rampage is a successful children's sci-fi.
