This positioning puts the film side in an embarrassing situation. On the one hand, for the integrity of the narrative, the necessary plots are indispensable, such as learning from a teacher, capturing the golden hoop, picking peaches and eating elixir, etc. On the other hand, in order to highlight the main selling point of visual effects as much as possible, the previous plots should be as short as possible, so that the film can enter the climax of the havoc earlier.
It can be seen that the director has put a lot of effort into this. For example, to simplify the personalities of the supporting roles, Bodhi is a masked character in the film. The image of the Jade Emperor is also in strong contrast with the previous one. It is not difficult to guess that such a character design is also to reduce the disputes between the Jade Emperor and the immortals, and to weaken the dramatic conflicts outside the main line. In order to speed up the rhythm, there are also many irrationalities. For example, the winner not only does not ask the loser to compensate for the loss, but also puts his sister in, hehe. But the most powerful one of them is to arrange love scenes for monkeys, because love is the best means of discarding rationality among all factors. The addition of the role of the little fox gave Sun Wukong a reasonable reason to go to heaven for the first time, and it became the direct cause of the great sage Monkey King's havoc in the heavenly palace. But be sure to complain about the family members around the fox, forget the lizards, and what the hell is the panda! ! The style is obviously different! ! It's full of a sense of disobedience, ah, there is wood! ! !
In fact, the film here is still unsatisfactory. Although it does not make people feel exciting, it can be considered a good achievement of the goal. But after the film entered the climax that had been brewing for a long time, it made people feel dull. First, the previous fight scenes have already given the audience a basic impression. In addition, there are not many big scenes, which will inevitably cause the audience's visual fatigue; It has become a King Kong old cow fighting the top of the heaven, and people can only scream. The audience can be led by your nose, but it is impossible for the audience to buy it if the most anticipated places are discounted.
In order to compress the plot, the director introduced the branch line of the demon world too wide, and it was unstoppable. So after a real fight, the climax of the story can only be led by the previous plot. The directions are all messed up, and the only way to move here is to end up in a hasty way.
After brewing for a long time in front of the menu and looking forward to a piece of steak for a long time, it turns out that it is a lump of burnt dry beef, which is probably the disappointment.
