√1. The performances of the actors are in place, and their appearance is also good. There is no sense of incongruity that many animations change to live-action movies. Of course, this has nothing to do with the character painting style of the original realistic department.
√2. The special effects and action scenes are very good, strengthening the sense of horror and tension of the original work. The picture of the parasitic beast deforming and eating people is very touching, and Xiao You is still cute and handsome.
-3. The boss battle in the second half is not bad, and the theme is clearly expressed. (This point is a bit reluctant to express in the original work, so it is not a loss.)
—4. After the male protagonist’s heart is filled in, the hairstyle changes greatly, which is restored very well...
X5. Too many deletions lead to the front The rhythm is too fast, and the cuts between shots are extremely blunt (this may be the responsibility of the importer).
X6. The role of the female lead has almost been deleted, resulting in basically no sense of existence and meaning of existence. It is estimated that to make up for this, in the movie, the heroine was arranged to run to the male protagonist in the deep mountains and forests in the rain on the eve of the BOSS battle, and spent an indescribable night with the male protagonist... This is too bloody!
Summary: It is really reluctant to put half a year into a 2-hour movie. It can be seen that a lot of efforts have been made in the adaptation, but the rhythm is still too fast, which directly leads to a lot of plot connections and insufficient emotional brewing (such as about The plot of the wife.... A plot that was originally very abusive has been changed to make people feel unwavering).
If the problem with animation is that the pacing is too slow (it is), then it seems a little too much for the film adaptation to speed up the pace. This adaptation is sensible in some plots, and somewhat detrimental in general.
On the film alone, there is still a certain distance from the original work and animation. For audiences who know the original work, the plot adaptation and performance are generally normal, and they can still be watched for special effects.
