As a North American box office hit and lost to the sky, "God War: Eyes of Power" is really ugly! So ugly!
First of all, the domestic audience is not as familiar with Egyptian mythology as Greek mythology. When the president first saw Eros, he was still confused why not Venus? It was not until I saw the sun god Ra that I suddenly understood that the basis of the story was Egyptian gods, and this knowledge was popularized by the god card of "Yu-Gi-Oh!".
Then to the image of the gods in the film: the king of Egypt is a god, and the official in the court can be a god (the general who killed Horus) or a human (architectural designer). Height to distinguish between man and God.
Although the image of the Egyptian gods originally had animal elements such as eagle heads, what happened to the gods who turned into golden saints in golden armor? Let's watch the leading poster of the movie first. Can you see that it is "God War"?
Now let's talk about visual effects.
According to conventional understanding, the visual effects of such a blockbuster should be amazing! No matter how bad it is, it has to have the level of "Clash of the Gods", right? However, the president was wrong. The visual effects of the whole movie are like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling.
There are only a handful of eye-catching pictures in the film:
one is the two large snakes that the hunters of Set were riding when they were chasing Horus;
the other was the boulder that Horus and his party encountered when they arrived at the pyramid of Set and answered the question. Strange; the third is that at the end of the film, the bedbugs open their mouths to swallow the water of the Nile.
Others, I really can't see the feel that a visual blockbuster should have.
Especially the two fights between Set and Horus, pure hand-to-hand combat, at most, flying around in the sky. You are gods, and you don’t expect any cool skills, but it’s more interesting to learn from Ultraman to shoot two lights. I’m not watching “Ip Man”! !
Except for Horus, the battles between other gods and Seth were all easy to fight, and they had no ability to resist. Even the aloof Sun God Ra was captured by the spear in an instant. The battle scene you want to see is not there.
Finally, I would like to spit out the plot. The whole story is similar to "The Lion King", and there is a problem that really solves the problem in the president's heart, and he doesn't vomit unpleasantly.
At the beginning of the film, Horus, who has complete eyes, fights with Seth, throws his eyes on the street, and has his eyes gouged out.
Next, they tried to drown the source of Seth's power with the water of the river of life, but also failed.
Instead, Set received the power of the gods and became stronger.
In the end, this supposedly incomparably powerful Set was still defeated by Horus hand-to-hand, and Horus did not get any magical power, or the secret to defeating Set, just inexplicably and unfoundedly won. .
why?
Could it be that Set, who has gathered the power of the gods, has become even more stupid?
The Kraken in Clash of the Gods was petrified by Medusa's head, which is considered outsmarting. And the outsmarting section in "War of Gods" was forcibly cut off, the power was convenient and there was no new improvement, and it was a shame to win.
Don't tell me it's because there are no mirror shields that reflect light and make Horus invisible.
In the entire two-hour movie, the only thing that is pleasing to the eyes is the two human beings, the faces of Saya and Baker. is the only bright spot.
Koko.
The president thought that in this day when CG technology is so developed, it should not be difficult to use money to build a visual blockbuster that people will forget after watching it. "Battle of the Gods", "Pacific Rim" and so on have done it.
So I really can't understand the thoughts of the director of "God War: Eyes of Power". How rich are you, it is not easy to waste your money so much, and to spend time and effort to make such a "visual blockbuster" that makes you fall asleep after watching it.
Give your "adventurous spirit" a ZAN!
