More expectation, more disappointment

The man in black gave me a kind of disgusting but not disgusting feeling. The reason why it’s a bit disgusting is that the creator’s ubiquitous imagination about aliens, the imagination about how aliens coexist with humans hidden on the earth, this involves more weird animal images. And human anatomy. And the feeling of not disgusting is the ubiquitous funny and joy in the film.

J, who is humorous and impulsive, and K, who is calm and restrained, can be regarded as one of the most successful partners in the history of science fiction screens. This is not only because the personalities of the two complement each other, but also because the personalities of the two are always just right and perfectly combined with the plot, and promote the development of the story.

The most representative one is the birth performance of J in Black 1. It is precisely because of J's continuous rush that he was photographed by the men in black organization. And the spirit of not stopping and never giving up is also J

One of the excellent qualities. After entering the organization of the people in black, whether it is an interview or a formal job, J, who has a humorous personality, is in sharp contrast with the gloomy organization of the people in black. While one person talks stubbornly, the other is silent, himself. You can create a good joke.

So this is the soul of the man in black, which contains the incredible combination of teasing young people and calm elders, using the mode of light detectives to understand and solve the process of alien conspiracy. This film is actually a sequel to the World View of the Man in Black, a trilogy of the emperor (because there are portraits of the heroic deeds of J and K, as well as the key character O, so it should not be a restart), despite the addition of Brother Hammer and Valkyrie , But the quality is very mediocre.

The first is the collision between Brother Hammer and the Valkyrie, and the sparks produced are completely incomparable with the old K of the emperor. The latter is always moving and static, old and new. The former two actually have no typical representational meaning, at best they are a mediocre mix of one man and one woman. Brother Hammer has almost no positive role in the film. Not only was he brainwashed at the beginning of the film, but he also made no good contributions as the plot of the film progressed. Some people say that he is a vase, but I think he is more like a film reversed. background.

Compared with the incompetence of the image of Brother Hammer, the performance of the Valkyrie is a bit too strong. Not only can she speak, has strong technical ability, but also can play. There is also a cute pet with god assists, who is crushing Brother Hammer in all aspects. Many people even think that the man in black is a feminist film. . . The abilities of male and female protagonists are really quite different. They are not as interesting as J and K in the trilogy. Therefore, the two men in black in this generation completely failed.

Perhaps the film is also aware of this problem, so at the end of the film, the pair was broken up through plot. This may mean that if there is a sequel, the man in black will be replaced.

The plot is also a flaw in the film. The first three are actually funny and science fiction, there will be more rigorous detective logic, each step of the protagonist to achieve what goals, why do you want to do this, what are the consequences of doing so, there will be a more rigorous process. This is also the reason why the first three are attractive. However, in this part, the male and female protagonists have been entangled with the black torture duo in the first half, while in the second half they have been looking for and positioning super weapons. It turns out that these two key tasks have nothing to do with the main line. In the end, they The two are through a flash of inspiration, before the final battle, see who is the ultimate BOSS. . . . The plot and logic are too fairy, isn't it really teasing me?

Excellent BOSS and alien design are the highlights of the series all the time. The cockroach-shaped monsters of Series 1, the worm-shaped monsters of Series 2, and the archery monsters of Series 3 are impressive in terms of shape and ability. Their conspiracy, their disguise, their power. . . But the BOSS in this game has no aura at all. We only know that he played an infernal conspiracy, but in the final battle, before we could see the face clearly, he was killed.

And from the first to the fourth part of the series, all the bosses are Zergs. Is my big mammal and Zerg creatures really hated so much? Is it really that difficult to innovate? And I never quite understand, since you brainwashed T, would it be so troublesome to brainwash H by the way?

In addition to BOSS, the other aliens in this film are also completely unable to stand.

Heifeng Shuangsha can be regarded as having a beginning and no end. In the early stage, the ability is against the sky, and in the later stage, he is killed in a sudden.

Xiao Meng's pet can be regarded as endless. Although the second half is eye-catching, in the first half, his queen is killed inexplicably, and the film does not say too much about the specific reason.

The only thing that has a beginning and an end is the alien bodyguard, but the setting of the bodyguard is even more nonsense. Will you disobey the leadership's instructions for people who had a relationship with you as a child (and there is no life-saving at all)? I think that part of the plot is simply nonsense to the sky.

If the mission, plot, and villain design are not enough, then you may have to look at the film's contribution to the story of the worldview of the man in black. Unfortunately, this film also has limited contributions in this regard. The place related to the worldview is that it describes that the black organization can quickly connect to the subways of the United States and Europe. However, this setting has nothing to do with the plot. Most of it is to show off skills. In addition, it left a deep impact on me. The worldview setting means that the interns can only get the amnesiac after they become regular. . . Oh my god, why is it so difficult to create something new?
