Bad scripts don't make good movies

I can't say that this is a bad movie. In terms of soundtrack, special effects, and actors' acting skills, it must be regarded as a superior Chinese-language film, but with such a bad script, this is not a good movie.
The story of the film is simple. An ambitious exorcist wants to save the world and save all living beings, but his ability is limited and he can't become a super Saiyan. However, Shu Qi, an exorcist with strong martial arts, deeply falls in love with this innocent man. Silly boy, sacrificed for him when he finally beat the BOSS, and finally forced the silly boy to transform into a super Saiyan, become a Buddha on the spot, subdue demons and eliminate demons.
There is a problem with the plot driving of this movie. It relies on the supporting characters to change the plot and guide the development of the plot, and the so-called protagonist has actually become a supporting role, that is, in every scene, the protagonist is a supporting role, following the development of the plot, then There is no change in the protagonist in the movie. This way of telling the story with supporting characters driving the development of the story is very novel, but the problem is that a complete movie is decomposed into individual bridges, which looks very incoherent. If you To write a protagonist, you must make the protagonist become the main promoter of the development of events, at least not let most events leave the protagonist in a position to be subordinately described, even if the protagonist is lower than the environment, is submissive, but also in the When describing, it is the most important position.
The design of the supporting characters is very unreasonable, they are all in a very dispensable state, and there is no character trait to speak of. Whether it is the master of emptiness or the master of kidney deficiency is really not important to the movie at all, whether it is the three exorcists, or One hundred and thirty exorcists are only a matter of cost and shooting for the film itself, and this difference has almost no impact on the film.
