The summer film market in 2015 can be described as splendid and fiercely competitive. The overwhelming support on Weibo and WeChat made me curious about this film. I planned to see "The Return of the Great Sage" after discussing it with my son. Surprisingly, my son was strongly opposed to seeing Sun Wukong. When I asked why, my son pointed to the printed poster in the newspaper and replied, "This Monkey King is so ugly and not cute." .
After repeated mobilization twice, the three of us sat in the air-conditioned cinema, but watched the entire movie, which was a lot of regret. Let’s talk about the characters first. Jiang Liu’er is lively, smart, pure and persistent, but Sun Dasheng yells, is restless, often has no backbone and lacks sympathy. How can such a great sage match what the film wants to create What about heroism? Let's talk about the story, the story of the whole film is unclear, the main line is weak and there is no strong branch line, and the plot is not well integrated with the theme, so that people who watch the story cannot go in depth with the ups and downs of the plot, and bring the story through the story. Thoughts and experiences are impossible to mention. Finally, let’s talk about the techniques and productions that are widely praised. The so-called “laymen watch the fun, experts watch the doorway”, I am a layman, watching the fights and killings is very lively, but the doorway is not obvious. Another point is that the story of the return of this great sage does not seem to have much to do with Journey to the West, which makes me, who has watched "Journey to the West" since childhood and has a strong plot of Journey to the West, very unhappy.
To support domestic films and domestic animated films, it cannot be denied that the producers of "The Return of the Great Sage" want to present a classic to everyone with great sincerity, and they do not deny that the film has made great progress in animation production, but there is no substantive connotation, pure and simple. It is impossible to make a classic by relying on technology.
