An excellent semi-finished product on the road

In the first five minutes, I had a very bad premonition. There are too many familiar parts. The overall style, character demeanor, and the way the plot is advanced are inseparable from the stereotypes of classic Hollywood animation.

1 The plagiarism of the mirror: The imitation of Neo against 100 Smiths in Hacker 2 is too heavy, why not design the keyframes yourself? There are also several very classic action scenes, which I will not mention.

2 Character setting: The character setting looks very lively on the surface, but in fact all the characters are masked characters that can be found in many animations. This film almost does not reflect the characteristics of monkeys, and it is completely a small river and lake with still affection. bum figure.
Besides, who has ever seen a Chinese dragon with four toes and slits in its eyes? The holy beast was relegated to a reptile! And a group of mobs that look like goblin and orc mixed blood came out to be cute? Therefore, what this film lacks the most is the study of culture, so it is essentially a domestic Hollywood animation. From this point of view, 3 stars are more than enough.

3 Plot: One of the big deductions. Except for the high two-minute opening, which is necessary for all similar movies, the rhythm of the first half is too suppressed, and the plot is unbearably protracted. The transition in the second half was too rushed (for budget reasons?). But some typical American jokes were very successful, and the audience burst into laughter while watching the film.

4 Modeling, dynamics, and rendering: From dynamic capture to modeling to textures to post-rendering and performance detail, there is no doubt that domestic animation peaks. However, some parts are too dazzling and lack detailed scrutiny. Except for the wonderful runny nose, there is not much subtle body language. In this regard, we should learn from our island neighbors.

In any case, I felt that I should support it when I saw the stills before. There is no doubt that this is indeed a work that took a lot of thought and deserves the name of this film!

Finally, for the small era 4 that steals the box office, I must fuck you XX!
