The movie you watched after reading the original book was really a mess. The engineer guild led by the mayor, or the mayor himself was the biggest boss. He wanted to make London stronger and even treated Valentine as a dog in the movie. There is no sense of existence and finally collapsed directly
The branch line between Catherine and the repairman was directly castrated. When the secret elevator (Valentin's spaceship) crashed, the repairman came forward and sacrificed himself to save Catherine. In the end, Catherine helped Xiao block the knife and died in Valentine's arms. There is also history. The old antiques of the family guild rose up and helped Katherine to delay the time The plot disappeared immediately The historians became soy sauce These plots brought me no less influence and shock during the reading process at that time than Tom and Shaw. It's really a pity that the story is not seen in the movie at all.
Regarding the Shrek Stalker movie, it is suspected of overly whitewashing it and its combat power has been severely weakened. In the original book, it was directly crushed by a town and could continue to hunt and kill. When Tom killed it, I had no conscience. Still thinking Killing Hester Shaw I was really relieved when I read Shrek's death, but when I got to the movie, I forced sensationalism and said I didn't feel any sense of substitution after watching it.
As for the final air war, there is no such thing as Valentine's in the original book. Valentine alone infiltrated the Shanguo Huoyao combined fleet and Fang Anna used the lighting advantage to kill it. Maybe the movie cut it off to save time, and London faced the shield in the original book. The wall blew up without firing a single shot. Before that, it fired a shot and directly destroyed a large tow city, so I feel that the power of Medusa has been weakened in the movie part, and even the Ghost Face Fish (the name of the airship in the movie) It still feels a little less flavorful) It's outrageous to wait for the airship to avoid the shelling in the air
From the perspective of ordinary viewers, the special effects story can be 3-4 stars, but from the perspective of the original party, I can only give two stars and one star, but also add to the restoration of the traction city. I was really shocked when I played in London. But in terms of plot, there are every line, but none of them are well written
In all fairness, this work is very difficult to complete in one movie. The director is very ambitious, but it is not very successful in the end. Hope to see more adaptations about the fatal engine in the future!
