First of all, let me say that the failure of the film has nothing to do with money laundering. What the rating should be is still how much.
After reading other people's comments, they said they were watching the "US version", and IMDb's rating was quite low, because I felt very excited after watching the preview before, so I opened the movie I downloaded a few days ago to see what happened. How, what I didn't expect is that this is really a "prediction kill" movie. The film's director, editing, script, actors' acting skills... I will not talk about these flaws, 2 stars can explain it. I will give 4 stars for the preview.
Maybe the director himself felt that he couldn't watch it anymore, so he added a "self-contained fast-forward" function to the film, and implemented the whole film. What I mean by "self-contained fast-forward" refers to the connection between scenes and scenes, just like when you press "fast-forward", it skips at once, and it doesn't connect at all, it feels like it's been cut, even if you want to fast-rewind Then I found out what content was missed, and found that there was none at all, as if some lenses were missing. Therefore, the editing of the film is a mess, and meaningless editing methods abound.
It seems vigorous, but it is actually bland. I think throw a few more bombs at the climax, kill a few people at the touching place, kiss at the romantic place, laugh at the funny place, and smash a few things when angry. Piece together an epic blockbuster? ! That is to treat the audience for fools.
The whole movie is like, following the recipe exactly with the ingredients and the method, and it turns out to be a particularly unpalatable dish.
Speaking of this, I remembered that I opened the film and found that mine was also the "American version". When I saw that the scope was speaking a pure and authentic American colloquial language, I couldn't help laughing, which was more real than watching the scope play a funny old man. At the same time, imagine that this may be what Chinese speech would look like if the mother tongue of China is English. It really doesn't fit. Therefore, it is no wonder that Americans speak English, Japanese speak Japanese, and French speak French. The United States is good at basketball, European football is good, and China is good at table tennis. The directors, actors, and screenwriters can't be blamed for not being able to make good films in China...because, superstitiously speaking, this is fate. Cuz, That's the way it is.
When I say that China can't make good films, it's wrong, because the premise of that is - the conclusion drawn by comparing films with the so-called good countries. It would have been wrong to do so. Different cultures should make different things, just like Japanese comics and American comics have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the artistic route of European films is also different from that of the United States... Because the content and values are different, it is impossible to compare the good or the bad. But the problem is, it's hard to justify it if the place of origin doesn't allow it. The audience is also well-informed, has seen big scenes, and the masses with IQs, whose ideas have improved from generation to generation, are no longer so easy to deal with!
Also, do such serious films have to use "star faces"? Do you have to use so many stars? It's not that it can't be used, so is this a commercial film or an art film? Half commercial, half artistic? Maybe even the director himself can't tell the difference, and the positioning of the movie is getting more and more blurred. As a result, the movie is deformed, and both sides are not welcome. Personally, I feel that it is best to lean on one side, and the pure art is like "Schindler's List", and the pure commercial is like "XXX" (This example is really hard to give, I can't think of it as a commercial film and a film. OK). The most powerful thing is to sell art films as commercials. All I can think of is Christopher Nolan .
In short, this movie is a pile of money, star faces, fragmented scenes and scattered storylines and sparse edits and awkward acting and strong extras. No foreshadowing, no foiling, no profiling, no rendering...come, boom, hit, go, come again...
PS When I saw the first aerial combat scene, I thought of "Toy Story"!
