Not very pop popcorn movie

I watched a new movie "On the Move" this weekend, which is generally a well-established spy movie. From the protagonist's hairstyle to the editing, there are many imitations of the spy shadow. The innovation is the addition of the financial war factor in the anti-terrorism background of 9/11, but it is also an instrumental background that has been taken one by one, and it is not too closely integrated with the plot. The actor Jack Ryan is played by "Star Trek" starring Chris Pine. This handsome man is handsome, but he always gives a sense of youthfulness as a frizzy little boy. Playing a PhD in finance and a war hero seems lacking in aura.

The film seems to want to use the identity of a PhD in finance to create an idol of professional agents with high IQ in the new era, but can the United States fall into the second Great Depression just by dumping US Treasuries during a terrorist attack? Although I don't have the title of PhD in economics, I also know that this is not feasible. Ph.D. students chanting lines in the hunt for terrorists does not appear to be convincing. It is more like a chance encounter. When it comes to selling scenes, there are only two chase scenes and a big fountain, blocking Wall Street, the old stalks in the bomb throwing water are tired of playing, and it is really a bit wrong to show the audience. Anyway, it's cool to look through New York. All in all, this is a story that you read and forget.

When looking through the information, I found that Jack Ryan is a classic image of the American spy movie. It was also a popular national idol 30 or 40 years ago, but it has been overtaken by Tom Ge and Mark Damon in recent years. This time Paramount restarts this series, it is estimated that it wants to use old bottles to decorate the wine of the new era, to see if we can create a spy film series that is very popular. Since the new millennium, Hollywood has restarted many movie series, especially superhero movies. It seems that original scripts are increasingly difficult to survive in Hollywood, which is increasingly focusing on risk control.

Among these restart films, the successful trilogy of "Batman", director Nolan redefines the superhero film, abruptly turning the second one into a national movie; the more controversial is "Star Trek", directed by Abu Rams ignored his traditions and turned the film into a popcorn blockbuster, which was a big hit at the same time it drew fans' saliva; the more unsuccessful was "Superman Returns" in 2006, which forced DC to restart again in 2013 (you are Windows?), this time "Superman: Man of Steel" is finally reliable. Another restart is "Spider-Man". The three Spider-Man from 2002 to 2007 were still successful, but Sony directly reorganized a team to restart the series after falling out with the main creators. The result is not bad, but also It's so uncreative.

From this point of view, the Hollywood company really has no morals, can it be restarted once? Then change someone and do it again. Although it seems that "On the Touch" is not very successful, it doesn't matter. If you shoot one or two more, it won't work and restart again. Everyone is used to using Windows.
In any case, with the evolution of science and technology and the progress of the world, hostile forces must also keep pace with the times. In the future, agents will really have to pay attention to selecting from among high-level intellectuals. Be kind to the doctors around you, they might not be able to provoke them.
