if you take time out of your busy schedule to watch it, you will be reluctant to watch it.
If you happen to come across this movie by chance, like the couple who was in line behind me when I bought tickets today, and you have no choice, then just watch it.
If you are used to watching Donnie Yen's hard bridges and hard horses, you can consider ignoring this movie.
Because in this movie, Donnie Yen was restricted.
If you ask me if this movie is good or not,
I'll say that it's ok at the beginning, but it's not so good as it goes on, and then like most Hong Kong movies, it's as unfinished as ever. . .
Finally, add a sentence:
Comrades who watched "Seeing the Dragon Remove Armor" very painfully can give up this film directly,
because it is the same director, and the effect is similar. . . (I didn't know that the movie was made by him until I watched it...)
There are absolutely spoilers for the following:
Let's talk about the costumes of the movie first.
It didn't seem to be a problem at first,
but when Donnie Yen "dropped the bone", I realized that
the costume is really special,
especially like the zombies in "Twilight" (Twilight) or Hugh in "Van Helsing" Jackman's clothing. . .
too similar. . . Ming Dynasty also has this costume?
But I can still accept this dress, it is more handsome. . . Very stylish.
Zhao Wei's set is also acceptable, all are acceptable. . .
But I can't accept Wu Zun's tricks. . .
So, that, isn't that Captain Jack's look? ! Too similar, too similar weapons. . .
Xu Zishan I will not say.
In fact, in general, I have nothing to say about the costumes
and talk about those action scenes.
The first thing I want to say is that Sammo Hung's men's sword capture and hand-cutting are completely superfluous! ! ! (due to the script)
The second thing to say is that basically the entire action of the film is cut out by post-editing. . .
So whenever I see Wu Zun and Xu Zishan's fighting scenes, I find it very boring. . .
In fact, as early as when I saw the title and knew that Xu was the ultimate boss, I guessed that Daedou would not be too good-looking. . .
The result is indeed the case. The fight scene between Wu and Xu is really dull and unattractive.
To say he is handsome, it is far less exciting than the cut-and-sewed fight in "October Siege" where Leon competes with the crowd. . .
As mentioned above, the actions of the entire play are editing products,
including Donnie Yen's. . . So it can be considered to greatly limit Donnie Yen. . .
There is no pleasing "Zhen Kung Fu" look in the past. . .
And most of the time this movie is not a fistfight, but a weapon battle.
That's why he uses splicing fights. . .
Donnie Yen's "Fourteen Poses of the Great Ming Dynasty", no matter how you look at it, it feels like the N-in-1 knife of Comrade Cloude in FF7. . .
As for the rest,
I never imagined that Xu Zishan's clothes could be used as weapons. . .
I thought it would be a bit easier to explain those "afterimages",
but far from thinking that at the end, it would be fine if the clothes were hastily chopped and burned. . .
I won't complain about Wu Zun's matching knife in the shape of Captain Jack. . . (The rotten ghost pulls back the knife...)
The last action scene adds: It's not worth seeing.
Talk about the characters' dialogue:
From the beginning to the end of the movie,
one or two warning words often pop up suddenly,
but it seems so abrupt in the fusion. . . Not at all coordinated. . .
The "Elegy Song of Jinyiwei" at the beginning, Zhao Wei's "The Road I Chose" and "The Hero of Salvation" are all very incongruous.
It also has to do with the script. . .
Anyway, in my opinion,
Those lines are very wasteful, not suitable for the mood at the time, just to say it. (I won't spray the pile of rubbish lines from Comrade Wu Zun.)
Talk about the script and character setting:
This movie script is too much to think about. (Friendship, love, family, loyalty, etc. are all messed up)
So the length of the film has also become 1 hour and 50 minutes. . .
In general, the golden films of commercial films are about 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes long, and there are too many. If the plot is not very exciting, it must be too much nonsense. . .
And there are a lot of repeated scenes in Jinyiwei, and there is a lot of nonsense. . .
It can be said with certainty that the
character of Zhao Wei, she and Donnie Yen's bloody emotional drama can be completely cut off.
This emotional setting made the movie exist a lot of reluctance. (Clamping hard)
Zhao Wei fell in love with Donnie Yen, and Donnie Yen fell in love with Zhao Wei. . .
Lots of illogicalities. . .
If in order to give Donnie Yen's love scene to increase the viewing value,
Xu Zishan's role of "Taking off" could have been fully completed.
It's a pity that "Tuotuo" suddenly said a love story in the inn, (why would say such a thing, I don't know, what happened to them before?! I didn't explain it)
and it was more wasteful to die like a couple in the end. . .
But the funny thing is that it is very strange that
Donnie Yen's original role is set to suddenly have love, and
it is also very strange that Jin Yiwei's cold-blooded killers are so loving, only Xuanwu seems to be the most normal!
How can someone who has been cold-blooded since childhood suddenly become loving!
You at least give some explanation. Donnie Yen's role is somewhat similar to Naruto in Hokage, but there is a process of becoming sentient in Naruto. And Zhen did not. . .
In fact, is it possible to merge the roles of Zhao and Xu, and then change the role of Zhen?
The three characters were just ruined by the flawed script. . .
Summary:
The biggest problem with "Jin Yiwei" is that the script has many logical errors and structural problems, and the screenwriter is precisely director Li Rengang. . . So everything is the director's fault. . .
Director Li Rengang wrote and directed it himself, very individual and very distinctive. . . Unfortunately I don't accept it. . .
Even though there is my favorite idol Liu Songren making a cameo appearance,
there are also my favorite Dan Ye and Leng Weapon,
but unfortunately they are not my cup of tea. . .
