The whole script and actors are okay, but the martial arts action design is too fake. Compared with Donnie Yen's more practical actions such as MMA, stick skills, and Aikido grabbing, it is probably also for the 3D effect. The martial arts guide is not only a steel wire or a steel wire, but also a rolling action. It's comparable to A San Divine Drama. Zhang Jin kicks with both feet at every turn and then bounces back to stand straight. Do you think gravity is fun? This drama is finally called "Once Upon a Time", but it does not have the ethereal elegance of "Yellow", in actual combat Swinging with martial arts, the result is that both ends can't be fished.
Tony's martial arts movements are estimated to be designed by himself. The essence of Muay Thai shows a little bit, but it was quickly replaced by steel wire. Of course, Tony himself is also based on parkour and acrobatic movements. Muay Thai's martial arts movements are not so displayed. Many, completely offended the media and mainstream producers in Thailand, and had to go to Hong Kong to be the second male lead, which was completely unimaginable when he was popular.
Hong Kong martial arts movies are dead, and this kind of action design has long been out of fashion around the world. What is popular now is the bloody ground battle in "The Raid", and even more popular is the quick shot of "Bourne's Identity" Track actual combat moves with slingshots and handy equipment. As the UFC has entered the first group of live TV sports in the United States, Hollywood has long been unpopular with tightrope fighting, and the scorpion tail swing of "The Matrix" has basically disappeared in the past 5 years, not to mention Lift the wire to fly. Donnie Yen did bring back this trend when he returned to Hong Kong 7 or 8 years ago. Of course, he added some fancy moves to take care of the nostalgia of the Chinese audience, but Donnie Yen is old after all, and later he had to pose like Ip Man. Most of the films, until now, the strongest in the universe has made bad films everywhere, made nonsense comedies, made through wire dramas.
A martial arts actor cannot have his own ideas. A martial arts actor who does not have his own ideas cannot become a martial arts superstar. Good action actors often have thoughts on the trend of action design and carrying this trend. The reason why Bruce Lee is Bruce Lee is that he has his own philosophical thinking on martial arts movements, "only fast is not broken", and in that era when he turned the camera with a false shot, he immediately captured the hearts of the audience. Jackie Chan added coherent acrobatic movements and funny jokes in a large number of imitating "Only Fast and Unbreakable" films, which made the audience who were already tense to the point of fatigue trembling forward and backward. Although Jet Li didn't have his own design, he caught up with the peak of Tsui Hark's creation, combining traditional movements with top-level choreography and reflection on Chinese culture. Several top foreign action actors also have their own ideas, such as Uncle Stallone, who has always been the policy of "head-to-head", "knife and knife" and "machetes must be big". . To be honest, the action design in Hong Kong is not as good as some ordinary action films in South Korea. Of course, there is no approval problem in South Korea. You can play casually when you see blood and guns. Our film review policy is also a big obstacle.
One last word: Wu Jing's style is still too traditional, not like a hooligan or a policeman at all, without any madness, and his own aura in performance is still relatively lacking by nature. Compared with Donnie Yen, it is still more difficult to become a superstar.
