Delicious desserts, normal meals

Once upon a time, there was a gentleman with a bad brain who was obsessed with studying fantastic creatures all day long, and spent his whole life writing a book, including how to destroy these creatures. So thieves were attracted, and they tried their best to snatch the book away. The gentleman created an enchantment around the house, and then was taken to the fairyland by the elves, leaving his daughter as a lunatic. Eighty years later, relatives of the gentleman's family moved in. They were a neurotic mother, a daughter who had a second illness, a nerd from one of the twins, and a bear child from the second of the twins. On the first night the bear boy lived in, he demolished the wall, then disregarded the words "unreadable" and removed the lacquer on the book, and then read the book again. It doesn't matter if you read it, the thieves sensed it immediately, so they came to grab it again. After some battle, the thieves were finally killed. The gentleman with a bad mind came back and took away his unlucky daughter for most of his life. The bear child and the nervous mother reached a reconciliation, and the family lived happily.

This movie, in a nutshell, is the story.
In detail, there are too many flaws. For example, Arthur who wrote a book, knowing that the book would be robbed and writing it down, knowing that it would bring danger to his family, but also insuring the book, and deceived himself to only wrap the enchantment around the house to finish the job - do you have a whole family for the rest of your life? Don't you need to go out? Jared waited until the fairyland, please think of a way, and finally said: Use your wisdom to defeat the big devil! I go, how unlucky these people are to become your relatives. So irresponsible, so bizarre.
Speaking of twins. The kid Jared is actually a full-blown kid: throws things around when he loses his temper, hides his sister's things, and knocks on walls... But who's to call this kid the protagonist. So this child became a brave man, and he succeeded in everything. In the end, his wisdom broke out and eliminated the great demon king. It is worthy of praise. The other twin, Simon, is a somewhat dull, obedient child who doesn't cooperate with his brother's troubles most of the time. He doesn't look very smart, but the truth is the opposite, and his hands-on ability is also good. Goblin's way. I want to praise Freddie Highmore's acting skills here. The two roles are different, Jared is lively and Simon is quiet, Jared's clothes are more fashionable and Simon is more rigid, Jared's expression is rich and Simon's expression (except for emergency situations) .
Then say sister. My elder sister is a middle school sophomore. She spends most of her time arguing with her younger brother. Finally, she stopped arguing and asked: Where to go? What's next for Jared? Although she is a sword-wielder, compared to Queen Susan of Narnia, she is simply a brainless and incompetent scum. But this actor probably came in through the back door. The only way to express strong feelings is to speak extremely forcefully, and his expressions are always "floating" on his face, making it obvious that he is acting.
The role of parents is also slightly insufficient here. The nervous mother, who can persist in living in this monster house in the end, makes people unable to hold back tears of sympathy. The scumbag is purely used for decoration. It only appeared once and then was seen by the bear child, but the bear child directly stabbed the place with a knife and was a little sad, even if it was actually a monster in his father's skin, as a Fairy tale movies are better for giving children more positive energy.

Let's talk about the movie itself. Some things are still very interesting, such as Griffin, that is, griffin, griffin, the image in the movie is very beautiful; another example is Goblin, this classic Western fantasy image has become a toad in the movie, And quite fat.
And the stunts of the movie itself are very exciting, for example, when the children see the aunt on the balcony, the flower elves raise their wings from her side, and the colorful and colorful beside her; Flying over the mountains, over the lightning, through the mist, through the red clouds, and finally to the wonderland of flowers in the valleys, the scene is really beautiful.
In the end, that's all that's impressive. I always feel that whether a movie is good or not depends first on whether the story is well told or not. This is dinner, while special effects, soundtracks, etc. are considered desserts. A good dessert can add color to a meal, but it’s okay to have a dessert that’s just as delicious as a meal. If a meal is left with dessert to impress, it’s too thin. It's a pity that the story of this movie is a little regrettable, and the plot is old-fashioned. Desserts are exquisite, and meals are ordinary, which is a shame.
