For viewers familiar with Disney movie routines, "Jungle Adventure" is an assembly line work that can disappoint you even if you don't have any expectations for Disney's live-action movies. The exquisite production of Disney is the only thing to watch in the movie, and the lackluster story and the inexplicable and far-fetched adventure make the movie suffer for a long time.

If you have been to Disneyland, then you will definitely find a lot of deja vu in this movie, depending on the game project of "Jungle Adventure" itself born out of Disneyland. Using popular animated characters and scenes to attract audiences to Disneyland, and using Disneyland's play items to reverse the creation of movies, this is a good business card, and it is really good. But doing a good business does not mean making a good movie. The "Big Rock" Johnson and Emily are invited, and the $200 million invested "Jungle Voyage" is visually impeccable, but in However, the plot fell sharply.

The time background of the movie story is set at the beginning of the 20th century. The British female doctor played by Emily left London with her brother in order to find a medicine that can cure all diseases. The captain who is at the helm is naturally the captain played by Johnson. The lineup of this story is set when Johnson comes out. Everything is clearly explained. The whole story is exactly the same as the game you experience in Disneyland, although Occasionally there are crises, but they are always stable, and all plot trends are expected to be mediocre.

Nowadays, Disney has brought too many amazing special effects to people, but it has become a double-edged sword. Not only "Jungle Adventure", in recent years, in a series of Disney live-action movies, a large number of special effects scenes have been used to replace the original plot that can bring the audience's imagination, but when we put aside the special effects of these Disney movies Outer clothes, it is not difficult to find that these stories themselves are extremely pale and empty, and the ever-changing stories are gorgeous and eye-catching scenes. Although the audience can get some sensory excitement, they can't gain in the embarrassing breakthrough game. How much resonance.

This problem is particularly obvious in "Jungle Adventure", because the movie itself is inherently included in the shackles of the game project, and what its screenwriter and director did is to integrate relevant elements, how to put it at the right time The elements of Disney’s adventure are reflected in the fact that how to lengthen the story that can be told in a few words is the origin of the motivation for all actions in this movie.

Although such rigid creative thinking guarantees that the film is not worthless, it also makes the film lose its own creativity and the authenticity that a live-action film should have. If the story of "Jungle Adventure" is applied to three anthropomorphic animals and presented with animation, then the look and feel of the story will be much better, but the interpretation of the real person makes everything clumsy, so much so The most beautiful embodiment of humanity's love and kindness in such industrial products produced on an assembly line has also become cheap and pale.

When the vision became the only highlight of a movie, when the creative creations that should have been wildly confined to a puppet, the exhaustion of Disney's fairy tale creation made the movie only a good-looking skin but lost its soul. This kind of "Jungle Adventure" is destined to turn the cart before the horse.
