Outdated games save mainland cinemas

"Angry Birds", famous! I remember when I was in college, this game was very popular! Since its release in 2009, the game Angry Birds has surpassed 1 billion downloads on various mobile device platforms! However, I didn't like playing mobile games at the time, so I just felt it on other people's mobile phones for a few minutes... But I haven't seen Zhupao or eaten pork, so the news of the film version's opening project came out. At the time, I was still interested.

However, considering that the basic box office of the game adaptation movie is not good, or the box office can be word-of-mouth, and it is a mobile game cartoon, the production company is not an old brand such as Pixar, Disney, and Lighting, so there is not much expectation.

Straight to the point, although this movie is very stereotyped and a little low-key, I think it is still quite joyful. The colors are bright and bright, the sky is always blue and white clouds, and there is no PM2.5 trouble. It is really a secluded, A paradise of blue sky and white clouds, shadows of coconut trees, clear water and young sand. When our three protagonists clamored all the way up the mountain where the condor lived, the lake was like a flat mirror, standing at the top overlooking the waterfall surrounded by white clouds, just like a painting that made people feel happy.

The restoration of the game is also good. The scene where the birds attacked the pig castle with slingshots actually evoked my memories of the few minutes of game time. The restoration of the birds is very high, especially in the final battle. The combat methods that are very familiar in the game all appear one by one, which is quite like the "Vengeance Bird Alliance".

The protagonist is this big red bird who speaks and looks a little like an unruly teddy bear - the Internet celebrity "Fat Red", who made him very bleak at the beginning: born in an egg no one wants, his eyebrows are laughed at, and he can't control it. Live his anger, spit out a sentence from time to time to make the atmosphere cold, no one likes it, and can only live alone in the "sea view room". However, we all know that at some point he will use his anger talent to return to the big family, which is all a routine.

It's a joke... Actually, there are quite a few, many of which are due to translation, and the words are especially two-dimensional, which is in line with the trend of the Internet, such as Bomb Black's sentence "I can't control the power of the wild in my body" , even though I don't know where it came from, but it sounds awesome. Most importantly, the song music is the biggest highlight! It's okay to listen to songs. In general, the front is quite a surprise, and the end of the battle is also good, the middle is a little embarrassing, and the whole process can be said to be no urine.

There are some elements in the film that pay homage to classic films, such as Fat Hong opening one of the doors in the Pig Castle, and there are two little pigs standing at the end of the corridor. Praise), it is obviously a spoof of Kubrick's "The Shining", although it is abrupt but I feel very pleasantly surprised.



As a game nostalgia and advertising, it does get full marks.

The score of about 50% on Rotten Tomatoes in the early stage is basically expected, and it will take some time for the animation style of "Suo Taotian" to get rid of the label of junior. Now Sony is in a very embarrassing situation in the "Big Six": "Spider-Man" can only cooperate with Marvel after several restarts; another ace "007" series has now reached a bottleneck, "Ghost" Party" can only begin to pay homage to the nostalgic golden age. Sony is in urgent need of some IP and resources, and this time "Angry Birds" has a very optimistic start.

From the perspective of the global box office, "Angry Birds", which was released a week in advance in North America, hit $43 million at the box office in 74 overseas countries! This result leads many animated films at the overseas box office in the first week, and is on par with "Super Marines"! 45% higher than "How to Train Your Dragon", 20% higher than "The Lego Movie", 14% higher than "Rio Adventure", and 9% higher than "The Crazy Flintstones". Especially in 37 of them to win the championship! In China, where the follow-up of "Captain America 3" is weak, "Warcraft" and "Apocalypse" still have half a month, and the theater manager is worried about the tea and rice, it can take advantage of "520" and the film shortage period to sell a lot!


It seems that the box office is going to explode!


The current animation basically cannot escape the mode and routine of "selling cute and funny". Since the global crit of "Minions" last year was 1.1 billion US dollars, the unlimited selling of cuteness has successfully proved that the world can take all the "money printing machine" attributes , The birds who were originally very cute in the original game are no exception. From old birds to little birds, everyone has their own cuteness.

The "cute" of the little birds has been recognized by the audience from the preview, and their faces are clearly written: I'm here to sell cute, praise me cute!


The little pigs are the villains in the film. Even the big bad guys can't escape the "cute" setting. The part where they sing and dance is really good! However, do you think they look like a combination of Minions and Kung Fu panda? It's really not accustomed to talking with a long body.


But the green color, plus the act of occupying other people's territory and stealing other people's offspring as a delicious meal, is it alluding to something? These are all questions that I am very afraid of, but as a cartoon, I am not willing to put too many hats on it and over-interpret it. Maybe this is a happy family movie, I don't think about it too much.

There are actually quite a few jokes in the film. There are actually quite a lot of jokes in the whole film, but a lot of them are a bit like those in black comedies, relying on mouth guns, quick mouths, and bickering to make fun, I think my ears I haven't had a rest. During the process of the three group of friends climbing the Condor Mountain, the scene of Bomb Black and Dart Yellow arguing to imitate the battle cry of the Condor made me "immersed" in the experience of Fat Red. Mental pollution". The lines of the whole movie I feel I have heard more than the four lessons, and the few paragraphs in which they fantasize about the invincible condor feel very long, that kind of exaggerated scene is enough for one paragraph, and the latter is actually connected. Two paragraphs, a kind of dragging on time.

Although I didn't catch up when the game was the most popular, but I caught up with the movie. As a new animation studio, it is possible to dress a mobile game with no logic and no plot into a cartoon that is entertaining and entertaining. It is sincerity.

It's fun to be cute and cute, but I don't know if it will make you feel bad if you lie on your face again and again. The little birds battled the cute little pigs. I was very happy in my heart. As soon as I was happy, I bought hundreds of pairs of shoes after watching the movie. It took less than 3 minutes from entering the store to exiting...→_ →
