The first part of "The Avenger" didn't surprise me too much, I just felt that it was above the passing line, and the comments I wrote at the time were neither itchy nor painful ( the old man always shot for little women - Denzel Washington "The Avenger" ( with resources ), now that I recall it, the most impressive thing is the action scene in the nightclub not long after the film started, killing a whole room of people in the countdown, which is very cool, and then the image of the male protagonist is very plump, a retired soldier who lost his wife in his early years, Living alone, living a highly restrained life, often going to the corner coffee shop to read, the job is very simple, and the interpersonal relationship is also very simple. This is a reclusive hero. His lifestyle matches his appearance, clothes, speech and behavior. This is inseparable from Denzel's strong acting skills. He makes you feel that such a person should walk like that. Talk like that and drink coffee like that. Maybe this character can be played well by someone else, such as Liam Neeson, Mel Gibson (just saying maybe, Gibson was banned and can't play it), Antonio Banderas, etc., but the capital just played it as his own appearance. Although only two films have been made so far, when it comes to the Avengers, people always think of the calm Denzel capital, not the resolute Lim Neeson, or anyone else.
Let the capital play this role, director Anthony Fuqua should also have a neat idea in it, because the capital has always been a kind and righteous tough guy image on the screen (except "Training Day", which also cooperated with this director), He saved a lot of people in his movies, and one of them was a little girl named Dakota Fanning who left a very deep impression on the audience ("Rage to the rescue", Ridley Scott's brother, " Tony Scott, director of "Top Gun"), and "The Injustice 1" is about saving another little girl-Little Loli in "King Bian". Therefore, the role of the Avenger is a rationalized extension of the previous series of heroic roles in the capital. What the audience sees in this role is that as the years go by, this black strong man is more calm and reserved, and he is still very dark when he starts. And it can be seen that after years of work and savings, he has put down a lot of money.
So the success of the first one can be expected, because the stepping stone is high enough. But the second part is not so good, you can't be the same as other old heroes, these old heroes include but not limited to Keanu Reeves ("Quick Kill" dick | Rosaceae II ), Liam Neeson. In that regard, I think the second part was a success. It relies on the following two points to make itself clearly recognizable and leave a deep memory point for the audience.
First, it further reinforces the difference between the capital and other old heroes in terms of external performance. Other old heroes are always rushing to and fro, making themselves very tired, ranging from tattered clothes and dazzling faces, to serious injuries and bloody gunshots, and the capital looks decent no matter how fierce the fighting is. Not only does he live in moderation, but he also kills people neatly. The principles of life are implemented into every action. This is the real master. In addition, other old heroes have families, dogs, and dogs. They are implicated by them, and if they are injured in the light, they will take their lives. The bare commander of the capital can come and go freely, so they are more ruthless than anyone else, and they are almost fatal.
The second is the scene setting. The fighting scenes in the first part emphasized two characteristics. One is that they are all in closed spaces, such as the basement of a nightclub, which is convenient for the capital to calculate the time; Continuing the above two features, at the same time, the last action scene has been improved - the reincarnation of the external open space and the internal narrow space, plus the extreme abomination that belongs to the "natural factors that cannot be resisted by human beings" in the contract. The weather is very emotional, especially the scene of driving across the bridge, which is desolate and oppressive. The capital is alone, with only a bread knife in hand, the enemy has formed a killing squad, long guns and short artillery grenades are readily available, but the capital uses its familiarity with the terrain to lay traps to ambush the enemies one by one. , the capital slaughtered wolves alone". The design of this action scene is so unique that it even makes me happy to write it. Such a design, whether it is "Hurricane Rescue" or "Quick Pursuit", is easy to impress the audience.
The film also has two shortcomings. First, the foreplay is too long, and the main film takes about half an hour to start. Second, the action design is not innovative compared to the first film, and it does not let me see other killing techniques in the capital. The villain in the first part is very weak, and the second part is stronger. I was expecting to see wonderful master moves in the second part, but unfortunately I didn't.
In any case, I think "The Avenger 2" is still above the pass line, and it is no problem to score 6.5 points. Anyway, this kind of film is just to watch the old hero's personal aura and action scenes. This film did not let me down. , As for the procrastination of the plot at the beginning, first of all, is the plot important? Secondly, we all watch it on the computer, and feel that it is enough to fast forward.
