The Blood Warrior, also called the Blood Guard, do you know that this movie is actually a superhero movie? !
Maybe everyone knows Marvel and DC, but "Bloodwarrior" is from Warrior Comics. This so-called third-largest comic universe has faded out of the public eye for decades.
The Bloodthirsty Warrior is the backbone of the Warriors comics, so it is not surprising to be adapted into a movie. Yes, Warriors comics also want to open up their own Warriors movie universe in the film industry.
But in the current market where superhero movies are becoming popular, other new superhero works want to squeeze out a little space, it really depends on the hard power.
At present, "Bloodblower" has formed an aesthetic isolation on Rotten Tomatoes. The professional Rotten Tomatoes index is only 31%, but the popular popcorn reaches 78%.
On the strict metascore, the professional and user ratings are not high, one is only 44 points (out of 100), and the other is only 5.3 points (out of 10). The most civilian IMDB is only 5.7.
What's more unfortunate is that under the influence of the epidemic, the global film market has been hit hard. At present, almost all blockbusters have been withdrawn and postponed. The rest of the "Bloodwarrior" is not embarrassing or awkward just to be released, and the quality of the film itself is average. As a result, the North American box office in the first week was only a pitiful US$3.775 million, which only ranked second in the box office for new films.
In the first place is a small-cost movie called "I Still Believe", with a box office of 4 million US dollars.
Although the cost of "blood warrior" is only 50 million, it is not high for a super British blockbuster, but at the current box office, it should be very difficult for "blood warrior" to smoothly open the warrior universe, unless in the future, For example, screenings in China can set off a big movie-watching boom, and then drive overseas box office revenue.
Let's talk about the perception first. Van Diesel, who has been talking about "I AM GROOT" in the Super British movie, finally became the lead character of the Super British movie willfully.
Every superhero has a story behind it, and the Bloodbath is no exception. He came back from the dead, he rose for revenge, and he chose not to be at the mercy of liberating himself.
This seems to be the same way as many superheroes. If this is the DNA that cannot be changed for every comic superhero's life experience, then how to make people look new in the movie plot becomes the key to the standout of "Bloodwarrior".
Hey...it's a pity, Marvel and DC have made so many movies in more than ten years, which is enough to hand over a super-English experience test paper, but "Bloodwarrior" has used one even now Marvel DC 1.0 routine template that has been abandoned.
The story of "Bloodblower" is like this. The soldier Lei, played by Van Diesel, died on the battlefield and was transformed into a bloodbath. Later, he was used by the research and development RST organization and planted a revenge plan in Lei’s mind time and time again. The bewildered Lei launched his revenge in the trap of the organization, until all the truth became clear, Lei wanted to be himself again.
Don't worry, what we are talking about here is the content given in the trailer, and there is no thunder spoiler.
But what I want to say is that the content of this trailer is basically most of the plot of the movie. Yes, the more driving force of this movie is how Ray shows his high-tech muscles in revenge time and time again. The body, as well as high-ge action play.
In addition to these, the rest of the literary and drama is lackluster. Take the first third of the movie as an example. This is another half an hour before the movie ruined by the trailer, which is the same as the experience of "The Invisible Man".
If you have watched the trailer, the audience will know that Lei was used to be a routine, waiting for Lei's fate, how to break the puzzle and regain freedom.
After Lei awakened at the beginning, the film was released for a long time. Let us follow the perspective of the boss of the RST organization and listen to him excitedly introduce the high-tech that is implanted in Lei's body.
This kind of explanatory dialogue and scenes were not used in science fiction films decades ago. Until now, the audience has not seen any high-tech. Actually, if you want to introduce the technological content of Lei, you can break other key points in the film. In the scene, to enhance the rhythm of the film.
For example, in the action scenes, the film has already demonstrated Lei's recovery technology well, so why bother to use a knife to explain Lei's hand in the front, and then weaken the dramatic tension of the rest of the action scene.
There is also a pavement in front of the film. It took too much time to show the audience the interaction between Lei and the organizers. There is also a scene in which Lei is watching the female protagonist KT punching under the pool, and then the two are not embarrassed or talked about it. After the dialogue, there is no development in the plot, this...
Regarding the plot structure of "Bloodman", let’s compare it with "Captain America". It’s not to say how outstanding the "American Team 1" is, but for the two protagonists, the basic characters have not changed much in the whole movie. And they are all similar to starting the rebirth mechanism and becoming a superhero.
But I think the reason why Mrs. Steve is more complete in "American Team 1" is that the film used a lot of space in the front to construct Steve, who was lonely before becoming a hero, and let the audience understand that he was small and could not join the army. Steve, who is often bullied, always has a heart to defend justice, so that the audience can have more empathy with the protagonist.
And in "Bloodman", we can hardly see the first half of Lei's life, even if the previous explanation is false, the character of Lei is basically based on the few explanations that yelled out when Van Diesel talked with the RST boss behind Van Diesel. Sex lines, it is inevitable that people can't establish a good bond of resonance with the protagonist.
Regarding Van Diesel’s acting skills, it’s a bit rude to say that the highest peak of his strength basically stayed at the time of "Saving Private Ryan", so Van Diesel was still an actor discovered by Steven Spielberg at the time. , And then he became popular with "Fast and Furious".
One of the screenwriters of "Bloodstrider" is Eric Hessel, who has been adapted from "Arrival". The original "Bloodstrider" repeated rounds of revenge mode can still play many new tricks, but the screenwriters used it. One of the most straightforward, simple and safe narrative methods.
Thinking back to "Source Code", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Shards of Memory" and so on with similar settings, we can compare the mediocrity of "Bloodwarrior", but it was a waste of such a good setting.
After seeing these, many people will say that entertainment is cool, the drama is not important, but the reality is that one example after another tells us that there is no support for the core of the story, even if you put a little effort on the text and drama, The promotion of commercial entertainment film will not be only a little bit.
We review all the good popcorn entertainment blockbusters, none of them are contemptuous of the creation of literary dramas and characters. In the end, the key to these movies we remember is the lively characters in them, rather than repeating the template. Tough guy image.
Finally, let’s talk about action scenes. In the main genre movies of Van Diesel’s acting career, he is even more comfortable in action scenes, whether it is muscle fighting, gun battles, human-machine battles, drag racing scenes, etc. And so on, can make people enjoy watching.
In the case of a low budget, the film deliberately reduced the scene space and used different elements to increase the visibility of the action scene.
The film also tried to add some humorous elements, although the effect did not achieve natural integration, but it can be regarded as adding more brilliance to the film, especially the hacker played by Ramoni Morris, which can be regarded as the finishing touch in the film role. By the way, compared to other templated Facebook characters, Ramoni Morris’s easy and witty character is impressive.
It's a pity that this hacker character appeared too late, otherwise it would be able to get a lot of scores in the movie.
Of course, if you just want to stimulate your eyeballs with the film, the play in the film can still burn.
I even think that even though I have talked about the shortcomings of so many films, the public will like it very much when they will be released in China, because as a director of special effects, the combination of special effects, light and shadow, and action design in the film, there are several scenes. Still very cool!
However, it is estimated that it will take some time before the film is released in China. After all, the epidemic has not completely ended yet.
