Big production is also easy to be big and vulgar. Many large-scale adaptations of comics make people yawn, swallowing it whole like popcorn and forgetting the taste, as far as "Superman" and as close as "Thor". After all, today's audiences are well-informed, and only relying on fancy special effects can no longer stimulate their adrenaline to soar, on the contrary, it will only seduce their sleepy bugs. If you want to find a new way, to have a little freshness in the big cliché, I am afraid it is also an adventure. The first director of "Hulk" is Ang Lee, and the second starring is Edward Norton. Both of them are protagonists with rich literary and artistic atmosphere, and they both want to have something deep in commercial films. So the two "Hulks" are somewhat tragic, and they have become thankless "two dissimilarities". To put it aside, changing the leading role in "The Hulk" has already violated the audience's viewing expectations.
Therefore, a comic book movie that is well-received and popular is really not something that can be made with money, nor is it possible to make the audience obediently buy it because of talent. The most ideal situation is that on the one hand the hero dances with the beauties, the explosion and the CG fly together to satisfy the audience's curious eyes and lustful mentality, and on the other hand, they come up with new ideas to derail a little, making the audience feel inconsistent but not As for feeling unacceptable. This point is well balanced, and it is a comic book movie that everyone likes, such as the first "Iron Man".
When Iron Man 1 came out, who had high expectations for it? And it is indeed a typical superhero story. There are countless similar comic movies, but after watching it, I found that this movie was unexpectedly good, and I listed it as one of the best bad movies of 2008. The beginning and transition of the film is quite satisfactory, but the rhythm is smooth, especially the starring Robert Downey Jr., like a catalyst to ferment the bland and tasteless water into a jar of good wine. The Iron Man he plays is different from Superman's stern face and righteousness all day long, and it is also different from Batman's wrinkled face all day long, bitter and bitter. As a rich second-generation, his duty is to show off his wealth and show off his wealth, to show off his playboy qualities. Later, when he encountered a catastrophe in his life, he found out that he saved the earth and also completed his self-redemption. He still did not change his yuppie style and admitted that he was a superhero in a high-profile manner. With Downey's wonderful performance, coupled with the smooth plot, and I didn't feel sloppy for nearly two hours, it was unreasonable that "Iron Man" 1 was not well received, and it was reasonable for Little Downey to rely on it.
I personally think that "Iron Man" 2 is actually not bad. The scores and comments are not as good as the first one, because everyone's expectations have been raised.
In the second part, Iron Man kept the original sloppy tone, and the bickering with the little pepper was funny. Because the image has been fixed and there can be no major breakthroughs, Downey's lines are much better than the previous ones. They are rambling, hurried, and nonsensical. In addition, the speed of speech is fast and the tone of voice is high and low. It has different changes in different situations. Tsundere, or embarrassment, or apology, or sarcasm, or uninhibited side. Just ask, which superhero is better than Iron Man in the "voice"?
This film also invited Scarlett and Milo to join. The former's figure and the latter's acting skills are unquestionable, and this alone can guarantee the quality of the movie. The plot is still the same, but one or two jokes appear alternately between the big and small fights, so there is no sense of tediousness.
Unfortunately, there are also, the last battle, it is too easy to solve the big BOSS. The male lead has also changed. The sequel has always been thankless, even if it is of the same level as the previous one, it will inevitably give people the feeling of "jewels in the front, rubble in the back". "Iron Man" 2 is not easy to shoot like this. Either way, I'm eagerly looking forward to the third installment in the series.
