It's just that in the past two years, Chinese movies have been really bad, and the main theme movies have been boring to the extreme, and many of them have something to do with politics. Before the release, I was looking forward to the zodiac for a while, thinking that Jackie Chan's main theme movie should not be bad, at least not getting rid of the rough and contrived characteristics of Hong Kong movies. But after watching the movie, I completely found that it is a four dissimilarity that puts the head of martial arts on the neck of politics.
Script-wise, the character setting shows the failure of the writers in this film. Jackie Chan made me feel cool for ten minutes in the front, and then he pursued his goals like a tool, the design and its rigidity and pretentiousness. Many of the characterization methods used are like connecting flowers and trees, no personality, and some big truths, like a three-year-old child teaching you how to be patriotic, which makes you feel very funny. At the same time, there is no conflict between the characters, and the thieves seem to be carved out of a mold, which is extremely lacking in vivid details. Not as three-dimensional as the characters in New Police Story. At the same time, the turn of the plot is also abrupt, the motivation seems to be too simple, the foreshadowing is completely insufficient, and before Chen Bolin and their relationship are explained, the girl suddenly knelt down and asked Jackie Chan to save them. human transformation.
The volcano segment at the end was what disappointed me the most, obviously the writer put all of his experience in aerial combat, and there was no dramatic action at all. It was nothing more than a group of people fighting in the air in order to grab a leader. Later, they met someone who was not afraid of death. Everyone died and the net was broken, and the things they wanted to rob were returned to the hands of the people who should return. From a technical point of view, it still feels far from foreign films, and the fake ones are not aesthetically pleasing. In terms of the process, there is neither a hearty refreshment nor a sense of tension. Obviously, the form is greater than the content, and it is really a pity to have such a good scene selection.
Generally speaking, "Zodiac" is impossible to have only one star, but I gave him such a low score because I really don't like this kind of theme movie. Of course, people can put the theme on the national interest, but they can't put everything together, without a good script, action design, everything is empty, we should not rely on all themes, so, even if we do No matter how good it is, it can only be a kind of obscenity about losing the glitz of the past. After all, patriotism isn't just about making money at the box office.
