Although there is no spoiler for this movie, and it has been nearly half a month since it was released, and everyone who should have watched it, but in this world without amnestics, I advise you not to risk being dramatized. The risk point is to open the impression of a movie you haven't watched.
I don’t remember whether I talked about the male protagonist three years ago or the female protagonist 20 years ago. If it is the former, the only two points of interest in this drama are the old stalk of the amnesiac, and Uncle Liamnison’s disgust towards Paris-this is of course, after all, his daughter was killed when she was traveling here. Kidnapped. If it's the latter, then when the creator thinks he's cute, but the alien baby who is full of domestic online game paid props, that is, the sense of sight in the eyes of the audience, shows his face, I know this pill.
To be fair, the conversation with O that the heroine joined MIB is a bit interesting. She claims that she has no family, no lover, and no life. This kind of careless state is the most suitable for joining MIB. The new boss reminds her not to use this job as a way to escape a boring life. In fact, "escape from a boring life" is almost the reason why the protagonist chooses to start an adventure in most movies. The difference is that most other movie protagonists will reconcile with the boring parts of their past lives (mainly family) after experiencing adventures, while the protagonist of this film is really gone forever, and he can't feel the identity of the man in black at all. Brought her any pressure and corresponding growth.
"Anonymous is your name, silence is your language, you live outside the social system..." I remember that it was probably translated like this. In short, the entry declaration of "Men in Black" was one of the most favorite movie sayings between me and my friends. This new version of "Men in Black" movie makes me feel a little bit excited, and only when this passage appears.
In order to highlight the political correctness of strong women and weak men, the new version of Agent M did not accept the mini-type weapons as obediently as the J of the year, but domineeringly asked for a big gun, and the leader also met her requirements. Then she took the subway from New York to London. One of the most interesting aspects of the "Men in Black" series is that the phrase "Hidden in the World" is brought to its extreme-the people or things you take for granted in your life may suddenly reveal in some strange way that he belongs to an alien civilization. The true face of. The first two films have already taken this feature to the extreme, and the third one saves a little freshness by relying on time travel, an old stalk that will never tire of the audience. By the fourth installment, I was really inferior. The feeling of "great hiding in the world" was not as good as the "Ace Agent" next door. Even the trick of super high-speed subway was just played by others, but the stamina of that series was even worse. I was exhausted when I took the second part.
The character set of Hammer in this film is similar to that of "Ghostbusters" a few years ago-a big-minded male vase who mainly relies on selling the sense of presence. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the leader, he seems to be a figure comparable to Agent K in the New York headquarters. At this point you will ask, Agent J is locked in the magic lamp, then where did Agent K go? The answer is that he was chopped off with an axe by Agent H, who was played by Brother Hammer, when he was a young man. Therefore, Brother Hammer can replace his position as the first brother in MIB. The partner of Brother Hammer and Valkyrie is far worse than the old version of J and K-you can't tell which one of them is a veteran with many battles and which is a rookie in the workplace. They were confused together, as if two ordinary people in black uniforms were hitting and colliding by mistake. I guess the actors were dumbfounded when they acted, and I don't know what the movie is making.
The best performer in the film is the domineering sister Rebecca Ferguson. Although she has lost a lot of points, she still relies on her figure and skill to awaken countless audiences who have almost fallen asleep like me. If she can play more, this movie might be saved. From the beginning, Hammer should be very self-aware to reject this movie. Looking at his resume over the years, there are no good results when appearing in this "big heroine", such as the aforementioned "Ghostbusters" and "The Story Snow White and the Hunter Have to Tell "——Not only his own role is bad, but the quality of the whole movie is also very worrying. If I were him, I would politely decline the invitation for this movie, and by the way, I would recommend the casting director to support Miss Rebecca Ferguson to the second female position. She and the Valkyrie play a pair of gender-switched K and J, and the effect will not be worse than it is now.
In the visual spectacle part, barely worth mentioning are the twins’ "earth-splitting palms" and the flying car that can be used as a weapon arsenal. The shootout outside the nightclub reminded me of Xiao Ma's bloody Fenglin Pavilion in "The True Colors of Heroes". I'm not saying that the action scenes in this movie are so wonderful, just that the weapons are a little bit similar.
The special effects of the entire movie can be described as shoddy. Including the last villain, the texture of alien monsters is very close to the level of computer game cutscenes at the beginning of this century. When the protagonist and heroine are trapped in the desert, the green screen feels too obvious, and the current domestic films are not as embarrassed to take this kind of scene directly to meet people. The most unbearable is the so-called "cute things" that the creators have joined wisely.
The Bingbing has the same style of painting as the little alien mentioned at the beginning. Seeing that color scheme, you can’t help but think of the magic-modified bald-headed Qiang, Pleasant Goat, and Pikachu at the entrance of the 18th-tier city mall. Shake the machine. The "Men in Black" series obviously has its own iconic and classic cute characters, but the director has to stay close, let Frank the Shar Pei and the coffee-loving worm become soy sauce, and reinvent some inexplicable new roles.
In the article about "Aladdin," I joked that Will Smith must have fallen into Disney's embrace because the new version of "Men in Black" did not give him a chance to show his singing and dancing talents. Unexpectedly, this film actually has an awkward dance scene. It seems that my judgment at the time was wrong. The reason why Will Smith did not appear in this movie was really just because it was bad.
This movie, like the "Independence Day 2" of previous years, was under the spell of "Will Smith"-a movie sequel starring Will Smith. The probability will become a bad movie. By the way, the last time he was recruited was Brother Hammer, this time it was Brother Hammer's turn. In the future, when the two brothers remake and sequel, remember to avoid these projects that are entangled with Will Smith. This film and "Independence Day 2" have the same sympathy, that is, they have become a stepping stone to a terrible "X-Men" movie of the same period. Both "Apocalypse" and "Black Phoenix" belong to the kind of movies that waste human and financial resources and should not be made at all. The audience watched the two films, and they had a stomachache, but after a week, they found out that there were other weird works such as "Independence Day 2" and "Men in Black 4". The "Police" movie does not seem to be useless.
I rarely rate movies below four stars. The reason why I behave so cat-eyed is because I basically don't watch movies that can disappoint me. But "Men in Black 4" is an exception. This is a movie I knew after watching the trailer that it should be bad, but I still bite the bullet and watched it. I finally lived what I hated, betraying my persistence for the sake of my feelings. "Men in Black" and "The Matrix" are my favorite Hollywood movies when I was in middle school, and Will Smith and Keanu Reeves were also the few foreign actors who could remember their names in my early years. These two have become active again this year, and it feels as if I have also been twenty years younger. But the way Keanu Reeves made a comeback was to return to the classic image-the "Quick Chase" series reshaped the image of martial arts superstars, and participated in the game "Cyberpunk 2077" to reshape the image of the sci-fi male god. And Will Smith, on the contrary, made another glorious success by fleeing and rejecting the classic series that once made him popular. Practice has proved that both of them made a very correct choice.
Finally, a little further digression. When I watched "Parasite" the day before yesterday, only a trailer was posted in front of it, director Ang Lee’s new work "Gemini Killer" (the screenwriter is David Benioff, who recently became a mouse on the street due to the finale of "Game of Thrones" , Just ask if you’re afraid). At the beginning, a black guy came out. My first reaction was, “Is this Will Smith’s son who always can’t hold it?” It turned out later that it was Will Smith. Prestige. So I understood why Will Smith would return to the top-because he finally realized that instead of using his connections and resources to force his son, it is better to act for him directly.
