I couldn't watch the film halfway through. Overall, I was disappointed. Maybe it was because I had high expectations for Jackie Chan's films.
The international diversity of the story scene is gratifying. But it's really unremarkable.
Allen came from a comedy background. Kung fu movies are still a little interesting. They don't fit well, and the voice is also. There is no other meaning here, but he is not suitable for such more serious movies. At present, the comedy like Happy Twist is more suitable for him.
Yang Yang, emmm, the common problem of Xiao Xianrou, facial paralysis, acting skills. . . Not much to say. Plus his styling (mainly hairstyle) I look a little out of the way. What's the matter? The key is that he is still the starring role. Perhaps the value of the film is already doomed when a typical little fresh meat actor with facial paralysis and little acting skills is selected as the starring role in this film. Moreover, many of the lines are quite embarrassing. The whole film is embarrassing one or two times and can barely accept it. I don't know who wrote the lines. Besides, the whole world in the film speaks Chinese, which feels weird. It's really unnecessary, and I don't know who is trying to please.
Uncle Long's appearance is quite good-looking. His acting skills, laughs and highlights are also supported by him alone. Without him, there is really nothing to watch. Uncle Long's role in the film is too small, I don't think he is the starring role, if it is, according to the role, it can only be said that this is a multi-starring film. In this way, the acting skills of the three leading actors are very unbalanced, and they do not take advantage of the multiple leading actors. Instead, they feel that the key points are not prominent and the characters are not clear.
Compared with Uncle Long's films before, the sense of technology has been enhanced, the story scenes are more culturally rich and diverse, and the Arab world and Africa are also fresh, but the storytelling has been weakened by more than one grade, the scenes are messy, and the scenes and characters feel quite complicated. , the leading role did not reflect its due value (or Yang Yang failed to support the entire film as the leading actor, in fact, he did not have much room to play, not to mention whether he has the ability to play, but he is the leading role, this is embarrassing place), I feel that the main actors all want to play more roles, but they are self-defeating, the characters are confused, and the primary and secondary are unclear. Many times, after the starring actors appear, I have to think, "Who is he here?". If those main actors were reduced by one or two, it would feel much better to combine some of the scenes into one person. After watching the whole movie, I have no feeling or impression (even the big scene of the gunfight is quite boring).
In the end, let me give you a general impression. The whole movie feels rich, but not sincere. As a Uncle Long fan and a general audience, I am subjectively reluctant to classify it as a Uncle Long movie. This also represents my disappointment with the film. If Uncle Long hadn't participated, I wouldn't have had any expectations for him before watching it, so I should have been more tolerant of him, and I wouldn't be so disappointed.
PS: Film reviews are just personal feelings and highly subjective, and they are not written for the pursuit of objectivity or so-called authority, but only for a moment after viewing. I once heard a sentence, to the effect that the so-called film review is just to make people who have watched the film less lonely. Therefore, if the audience feels the same way, I am naturally pleased, and if they think it is nonsense, I can laugh it off. It was just a moment of nonsense chat.
