How long can the nostalgia of the post-80s be sold?

The nostalgia of the post-80s generation seems to be an inexhaustible cash cow for film companies. No one knows this better than the famous American demolition expert, no, the famous director Michael Bay. The four "Transformers" have collected 3.8 billion US dollars worldwide with the nostalgia of the post-80s generation. They tasted the sweetness of "selling copies", so they extended their hands full of gunpowder to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series. In 2014, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants", produced by him, sold $500 million worldwide. The film company Paramount was ecstatic, and signed a filming contract for the sequel with "Selling Copy" the day after the film was released. .

Although the title of "selling copies" is only an executive producer, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, from the color of the picture, the dialogue style to the blasting special effects, is a strong "selling copy" style. Unlike most directors who pursue their own artistic expression, "selling copies" to make movies is almost purely "serving the people". His films are full of fire and bombs from beginning to end, but in the end, it's the audience that's good. If "Transformers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are all there to talk about the philosophy of life, wouldn't the audience want to rebel?

For this sequel, he listened to all kinds of feedback from fans on the first movie. For example, the audience wanted to see more classic villains in the original work, so the two funny villains, Niu Tau Zhu Nian, made a gorgeous appearance. Even Krone, who has never shown his face in the various movie versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before, is considered to be extremely difficult to achieve technically. This time, he has also challenged the audience's visual bottom line. As soon as these live treasures appeared, the appearance of the whole film was almost astonishing. fell below the Mariana Trench. In response to complaints from female audiences about the crooked male characters in the film, "Selling Copy" added Casey Jones played by Green Arrow Stephen Amell on the side of the decent forces, giving everyone who is about to be blinded. A dose of green arrow mint-flavored ointment was delivered to both eyes. Even some audiences who are afraid of chaos in the world came up with "Transformers vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and "selling copies" actually gave everyone a glimpse in the movie. Such a kind-hearted attitude makes people suspect that he has his own trumpet in major movie forums and fan group chats, right?

It is a pity that sometimes the opinions of the audience are like the British people who voted to leave the European Union, and they may not even think about the consequences of their opinions. The return of many classic characters has indeed made fans addicted to nostalgia, but with the narrative ability of "selling copies", there is no way to integrate so many characters together, and the situation of ignoring one and the other frequently occurs. For example, the big villain Krone showed an inexplicable appearance shortly after the opening, very disgusting everyone, and then retreated to the second line, and another classic villain, Slade, took over the banner. Slade worked hard for the leader for more than an hour, mainly running various errands or putting on poses. Finally, at the end of the battle, he could fight with the Turtles and be ashamed. The result may be that the director suddenly remembered. The big boss should be Krone, so Slade could only sit on the "cold" bench. The positive forces are not so good either. The handsome guy Amel is mainly responsible for soy sauce in the film, and there is no chemical reaction between him and the sexy beauty Fox. Seeing the two of them reluctantly show their expressions, it really gives people goosebumps all over. In reality, Fox's husband's surname is GREEN, which means green in English. How can he be so indifferent when he sees "Green Arrow"? Wait a minute, I suddenly think of Dave Green, the director of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", also surnamed "Green", what a coincidence, it seems that the "Selling Copy" contestant must be rooted in "Green", otherwise, don't think about it. These green turtles are having fun.

Speaking of these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the fight scenes in this film, which has a "sell a copy" label and a cost of $135 million, certainly won't disappoint. It's just that all the tortoises are as strong as cows, and they fight hard. Where is the shadow of a ninja? It's almost like a monk! These four are not only good at punching and kicking, but also have the same humorous skills, especially the pizza lover Michelangelo, who is definitely a strong contender for the 2016 Funny All-Star. It's just that the personal qualities of these four characters have not improved compared to the first one, but they have become less and less effective. Here I want to criticize Raphael by name. Yes, the one with the red hood and the words "angry" written on it. In the first part, his honest confession made people feel that he finally repented, but this time it was still He was clamoring for a solo flight, which made Teacher Sprint feel that "the hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead."

The name "selling copies" is not for nothing. Almost all of his films are a way of changing the soup without changing the medicine. But this judge believes that any film type should have its own different standards. We will not be too harsh on the special effects in drama films. Why must we blame the plots in popcorn special effects films? Just looking at the various special effects pictures of this film, why is this film worth three tokens? Also please don't be too harsh and take your time to cherish these mentally handicapped and brainless trick blasting scenes. When the domestic film protection month comes, everyone can only laugh at all kinds of special effects.
