Perhaps after "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "National Treasure", adventure-themed movies can come to an end, and all the themes available for mining have been exhausted. Even if there are IPs with huge potential such as "Tomb Notes" and "Ghost Blowing Lamp". In an era of lack of masters, this subject matter can't be photographed with much new ideas.
The director of this film, Wu Ershan, in the previous two films, respectively showed his creativity in narrative and commercial grasp, especially the latter, the control of the scene can easily make people think of Tsui Hark, So magnificent and so trendy. Thinking of this, I have to praise Wu Ershan, he is the best director of learning in China. The attainment on the scene may represent the highest level in the country.
It's a pity that the more the movie goes on, the more I feel like crying or laughing. For the sake of the dead loved one, it is very touching to step back to the dead end, but not everyone eats this kind of stuff from online novels, at least I think , the most representative of an excellent nation are those glorious and great undertakings, which are only reserved for young people in ordinary life. And the movie is not a literary work, it is not so ideological. Otherwise, don't mention topics such as faith and loyalty, and be funny all the way to the end, or it's all about those "big things", and love is only used as a condiment. This has become the core of the conflict. Love and sex often appear in James Bond's dictionary, but the first priority must be to save the world, so there are only more than 20 books.
Yizhuang Yixie has at least touched the edge of excellence. The biggest flaw of this film is that there are many laughs and surprises in the whole film, but on a grand theme, it presents a small fresh face.
Without a moral basic point, the clues of scramble and chase are blurred, and tension and excitement are all unfolding between people and the environment, the dead thing. This kind of half-finished suspense can be applied to independent films, and commercial films must have a "bad guy" that resonates. The group of people led by Liu Xiaoqing were very similar, but they didn't always cause trouble for them. The two groups of people have always been in a state of being both enemies and friends. A little carelessness can lead to this association: maybe they don't want to kill people.
But it's hard to say that this movie is a bad movie. In the theater, I saw people of all ages around me watching it with relish, although I sighed from time to time: the eyes of the masses are not always sharp. But since many people like it, it's at least half the battle.
