It seems that with "Captain America 3", the bad "Thor" series will not be so bad, and the "Manchu" who should be unhappy will not be so unhappy. Everyone is really happy.
Even if Captain America 3 wasn't as good as it boasted, what does it matter? After all, Marvel has even prepared the plans for the next 5 or 6 years. This one will not work. It is impossible to guarantee that the next one will suddenly be possessed by the soul. It's not completely impossible.
Yeah?
While mainstream critics view Captain America 3 higher than Dawn of Justice, the two comic-book films with similar themes suffer from the same major blunder—the lack of a reason for the conflict. Sufficient explanation and exploration make it lose its credibility. Captain America 3 has more dialogue, but it's no better functional than the equally (or even more) complex Dawn of Justice. For "Dawn of Justice", which plays a role in the successor, this mistake can be made up for by follow-up movies; but for "Captain America 3", which plays a role in the successor, the conclusion of this relatively independent "Winter Soldier Love Song" is There is no chance to complete it. What's done is done.
The subtitle is "Civil War", and as expected, there is no "civil war" in the feature film, only one conflict and four "infighting" group fights. The action part of the movie is really good, but it's hard to really get excited because of the heavy design - good combat has a reason, and the vague sense of morality in Captain America 3 In the vast majority of action scenes can not afford this role. Ant-Man and Spider-Man's participation in the already fatigued patterned combat is quite impressive, partly because of the heavy scenes, but this brilliance is based on novelty - the novel interaction method brings the greatest The degree of fresh blood - other than that, the action design is not special, it is all reorganization and reconstruction of existing materials.
Compared to Captain America 3, I prefer The Winter Soldier because it has Captain America's own story and Robert Redford. And "Captain America 3" is not just "Avengers 2.5", it is more like "the daily tearing of the Avengers who don't need to save the earth", or "the new Spider-Man movie extended trailer".
Overall, Captain America 3 is filled with a lot of content and shortcomings, but it's certainly not a boring movie. In such an idealistic fairy tale produced by Disney for family fun, silly and sweet, it is already the best to be able to occasionally throw out a few terms such as revenge, self, friendship, loyalty, and self-determination vs government regulation. tried.
Putting all these things together, it's still pretty impressive.
The chaotic logic of the ruffian hero
"Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption." -John Acton, "Freedom and Power" "With
great power comes great responsibility." - Uncle
Ben The American culture of heroism is reflected in the comics by creating one superhero after another; and these Rogue Heroes who write "Vigilantes" and read "Outlaws" are often the most charming. Humans are born with a psychological tendency not to follow rules and regulations. Social laws and ethics are the two shackles that restrict wanton behavior. These two shackles seem to be easily overcome by "heroes" with special abilities.
Is it really?
Slag director's "Watchmen", "Dawn of Justice", the 2011 DC Comics "Why American-style Justice and Truth are So Ridiculous" and its adaptation of the animated film "Superman Vs Ultra Heroes" are all constantly trying to use images in the form of Philosophical speculation, and this is the first time for Marvel - the performance can only be said to be barely passing.
Different from the scumbag's respect for the origin of comics and comic literature, the Marvel Department of Comics has gone further and further on the road of entertainment, and the position of "Captain America 3" seems to be playing crazy without thinking and just remembering it. And the regret of this bead. Looking at the "X-Men" series, which has been completely reduced to a social drama, and looking back at the tonality that I have set, it is not so simple to stick to the gold.
The main problem with Captain America 3 is the character stance. When there is a conflict between the two parties of consciousness and concepts on the big screen, it is difficult to grasp the balance and level. Find the "justice" or "justice" of his actions. Dawn of Justice takes this approach, and we can clearly and directly experience and understand the reasons behind Batman's series of preparations for the Superman situation. In "Captain America 3", the Russo brothers' handling is too gentle and balanced. Put aside the villains who are so weak that they hardly need to exist for the time being. Among the positions of Iron Man and Captain America, the former is more reasonable and "procedurally just", while the latter is the title character of the movie, but he can't find emotion. In addition to factors and personal charisma, the principle of being able to do things logically. We can certainly think of this as a standard Winter Soldier hangover, turning an iconic character waving the American democratic flag into a new type of "hero" with an "anti-heroic" touch, but the Russo brothers will It is very difficult to elevate personal emotions to such a highly reasonable argument as "locked in a cage with power".
In the character of Captain America, we have seen a variety of inconsistent views. On the one hand, as the "Secretary of the Political Commissar of the American GI", he believes that innocent sacrifices can be accepted for the greater good, and the important thing is "results of justice", like the standard military style; on the other hand, he refuses to take personal actions As a result, the Winter Soldier was hunted. The first reaction was not to discover the truth, but to help him escape without blinking his eyes. Even if he knew that he had committed various cruel and serious crimes, he just used "brainwashing" as an excuse. Refusing to put him on trial, the Winter Soldier's personal sacrifice is completely unacceptable at this time, embodying a habitual spirit of rebellion from the bottom up.
On the Iron Man side, "responsibility to the people" is a top-down "independent revolution", and the "Sokovia Agreement" advocates that the United Nations is supervised by the United Nations. "Justice" could not be exercised in time, but there were no negative effects in the movie. After the agreement was signed, Iron Man and Black Panther were still free to come and go, which made the questioning party become cranky and neurotic. Captain America believes that the agreement will lead to the annihilation of individual decisions, making the entire team a tool of class domination. This unusual overconfidence can be understood as originating from the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. in The Winter Soldier, but it does not follow logic. As long as there is a sound responsibility supervision mechanism, under any circumstances, it is difficult for individual decisions to achieve the justice and correctness of group decisions. During the verbal confrontation, Captain America has also clearly expressed his unwillingness to bear the consequences and responsibilities of the corresponding actions. As long as it is "justice of the results", it is beyond reproach.
This is a very absurd and self-denying naive idea, but under the packaging of Captain America's personal charm, it has become a love that is more than reasonable and more than law.
This is very dangerous, and it directly destroys the character of Captain America, making this character who is loved by the masses because of Wei Guangzheng press the self-destruct button for the love of the masses, and there is also a fly camp dog Gou.
The rule of law is always higher than the rule of man. Distrust of the law stems from distrust of people. But the latter cannot justify the former. Captain America, who was a soldier, should know this better than anyone else. However, in order to become a Rogue Hero in the hearts of the public and to satisfy his love and justice, Steve Rogers, who was in charge of cleaning up the Hydra mess, lost his stand.
The real villain is the infinitely expanding "sense of justice" and excess self-awareness. I firmly believe that I am a good and correct Captain America, knowing that Bucky is a traitor and criminal, but he bends the law for personal gain because of his personal love, does not pursue responsibility, and does not undertake obligations, and at the end of the film, he tries to occupy morality under his own BGM. the commanding heights. The lack of logical rationality and the equal weight of hard support make the struggle at the core consciousness level of "Captain America 3" absurd, vulnerable, and unconvincing.
The Russo brothers are also very clear that this is the best result that can be achieved under the Disney-Marvel system, so in this comic fan drama, the ideological battle is literally twisted into a winter soldier battle that is easier to understand, and the Disregarding the discussion of "justice" and "property" and replacing it with personal sentiments, it seems less unreasonable and utterly confusing.
Indeed, for audiences who have given up thinking, who have been cultivated for many years, why use their brains if they can understand it with emotion?
"You can never trust Stark." --Hank Pym, "Ant-Man" "
You don't really think I'd risk the success or failure of Gotham Soul's war on yours. Let's fight meleely?" - Joker, "The Dark Knight"
In the Marvel movies, there are not many acting skills worth discussing, only the shaping of the characters can be mentioned. Throughout the films in Phase 1 and Phase 2, we can see that the story of the film is roughly coherent, but the characters are not. This sense of separation seems to be innocuous on its own, but like a weak battle declaration, it cannot stand scrutiny.
At the end of "Ant-Man", Scott Lang returned to the family in harmony after the war. It is hard to imagine how this silly old man who almost never returned to the world for the sake of his daughter would easily abandon his wife and children in order to be a fanboy; At the end of "Iron Man 3", the emotional problem between Iron Man and Chili Pepper seems to have been perfectly resolved, and at the beginning of "Captain America 3", there is another mystery. In addition to the split across episodes, even the same character before and after the movie appears to be upside down and has no opinion, and is led by the big brother by the nose - yes, I'm talking about the Scarlet Witch with big breasts and the Falcon who only knows how to stir up the flames. The so-called average play share of each character is actually based on the previous more than 10 movies. If you look closely, you will find that the appearance and disappearance of key characters are very hard. If you don't remember Emily VanCamp in "" The roles and roles in The Winter Soldier, this unexpected kiss would have seemed awkward, not to mention the pointless Martin Freeman.
It is very normal for multiple creators to have different creative directions and attitudes, and it is understandable for the same character to change. But as a series that emphasizes connection, such small differences will gradually accumulate and eventually become the decisive factor in destroying the character.
In addition to the entry of Ant-Man, the introduction of Spider-Man and Black Panther is the biggest success of "Captain America 3". From a big trailer perspective, Captain America 3 is doing a better job paving the way for Black Panther, especially the new Spider-Man, than Dawn of Justice. There's only one slight difference: We all knew in advance that Dawn of Justice was a trailer, but we didn't know that Captain America 3 was a trailer.
In comparison, the introduction of Black Panther is more natural, smooth and logical. Chadwick Boseman's performance is also a rare concentration and dedication in Marvel movies, brewing an unknown explosive force in a firm emotion. . Since The Winter Soldier, the Russo brothers have incorporated the aesthetic style of their favorite Hong Kong action films into the category of Captain America, and soon became the only film in the entire Marvel universe that requires action design. series. So we met a native American soldier. After 70 years of time, he has learned a good kung fu, and he can parkour at every turn. In "Captain America 3", more Asian action stunt performers were able to join the group, and when the six Winter Soldiers were making a riot at the Soviet base, one of them was directly arranged to be an Asian bald head (the other of the six had a bald head). There is an old man with a cart that looks like a full-grown man, and it is not yet known who is sacred. The widow, Winter Soldier, and others also have to worry about the issue of dressing, but the black panther is completely different. All kinds of grapplers kick three times in a row, and show off their skills, for fear that others will not know that this pervert in tights is a stuntman. But overall, the viewing experience is very high.
On the other hand, there is a lot of room for Spider-Man's appearance and exit. It can be seen that it was initially left blank in the arrangement of the scenes, and when it comes to a beautiful airport fight, it can be improved through post-production special effects. In general, this version of Spider-Man is a younger version of "The Extraordinary Andrew", more talkative and more active, and Melissa Tomei, one of Hollywood's Best Milfs, has joined, which can be said to have a promising future. With the participation of Spider-Man, the whole battle changes more and more interesting, and the interaction is more exciting, especially under his influence, all the serious people from Falcon to Winter Soldier have shown their lovely side, very good adjusted the atmosphere.
But overall, the needless brawl didn't reach what could be called a "civil war." Even the murderous tin can at the end obviously didn't kill him. The only thing that was injured was the war machine that was tragically replaced, and it was an own goal - obviously the falcon was hiding beautifully, but it flew down and apologized and was bombarded. Mouth gnawing mud, revealing the essence of the child's play of this battle.
If you really want to prevent escaping by plane, there are countless ways to directly bomb the plane, and you have to demolish the house and blow up the truck. The "civil war" that can't be ruthless and can't be deadly is really fancy and beautiful for the sake of being fancy - but the arrangement and design of the combat power of several battles are very balanced, and there will be no obvious strength gap in the match. , if you don't count Scarlet Witch and Vision who are completely afraid of AOE.
The pursuit of balance in combat seems to be at the heart of all Marvel adaptations, even if it weakens the film's villain and the climax of the third act. This trend seems to be exclusive to Marvel, because it is difficult to find this balance trend on DC's side: many of the Flash's opponents are not speed runners, many of Wonder Woman's fights are not fairy fights, and Superman's mortal enemy except IQ Without any special abilities, many of Batman's enemies are not human. In contrast to the adaptation results of Marvel movies, Ant-Man's enemy is another Ant-Man, and Hulk's enemy is another Hulk; Spider-Man's enemies are all one-sided biochemical transformations, and Iron Man's enemies are one-sided mechanical armor ( Except for "Mr. Man"... ugh~); Captain America's opponents are all super soldiers, and Thor's opponents are all supernatural aliens. In the unreleased "Doctor Strange", Doctor Strange's opponent is also a Doctor Strange. As for the miscellaneous soldiers who died in the hands of these superhumans, they were all ordinary humans.
In this design, our "heroes" don't need to use their minds to solve problems, but wave their fists and technology to cope with the situation. reasoning? Suspense? I don't want to. The audience just wants to see the male hormone complex with oversized biceps and exploding pectoralis major muscles beating each other to death, then falling in love, then beating again.
Even if the lines are left with "Uh ah ah~ ~~Hoo~~", there are still people who pay for it, right?
Finally, "Captain America 3", we ushered in a Baron Zemo. However, the tragedy is that the existence of the only "alien" villain is really low. Even if all his plot is removed, only slight changes to the story are needed to keep the entire movie intact. After inheriting the facelift of the Marvel villain as always, this Baron Zemo has become another tragic empty shell with only the same name, and it is full of countless routines and clichés. The identity and motives have been fully exposed. However, whether this identity and motivation can support the so-called "super decoding conspiracy" and "innumerable resources with hands and eyes" does not need to be questioned at all, just a simple "impossible" is enough.
In fact, the setting of Baron Zemo completely collided with Wallace Kiefer, the "Angry Man with Broken Leg" played by Scott McNally in "Dawn of Justice". The latter is just a clue soy sauce in "Dawn of Justice", and the former is just a clue soy sauce in "Captain America 3".
It's really hard work to insist on righting to the position of the villain No. 1 to take the cauldron.
The domestication mentality of just
getting by: "The land is polluted, the water source is polluted, and the disease is infested, and even this land may not be able to live anymore. But I also felt sincerity and fetters when I got the commodity coupons. This is really rare, really too Okay, great! This way the land and water can recover again! The disease can also be cured! Even if the factory continues to emit pollutants, there will definitely be no more problems! Because you have a bond! "
This is public opinion, this is democracy, what an amazing country! The public opinion is right, and everything that everyone agrees with is right, so it's okay for everyone to use violence, and the gang beat up my partner lawyer, because it is Public opinion, so it’s also right.” - Kou Meimen, "LEGAL HIGH"
Today, "The Winter Soldier" is still the best movie under the Disney-Marvel joint system in my eyes, no one. "Reunion" is too young, and "Silver Guardian" is slightly unfinished. Captain America 3 has a great foundation, but so does Dawn of Justice, and the latter has a better trailer. Dawn of Justice's slump in word-of-mouth has raised expectations for Captain America 3 by counter-attacking early reviews, and just adding two fun characters and a B-shaped character doesn't make for a mediocre, bug-ridden character. The script is perfected, let alone a bombardment of self-righteous film series beyond the commercial success of the art field. Captain America 2's concept and story creator Ed Brubeck was short-lived in the entire Marvel movie franchise, leaving behind one of the most spectacular builds; but Edgar Wright dropped halfway through Ant-Man , leaving only one interesting possibility.
Not everyone is fit to stay in the system. But some movies have to be in the system.
Deadpool provides a great example of how well-connected movies can be made outside the system. "Justice League Dark" may restart someday, but in the future stages of the MCU, we will not see this possibility at all, and Sony's new "Spider-Man" will only be in Marvel's Get involved in Marvelization.
In the past, there was a vast space and possibilities in the field of comics and movies, because every household had an IP, and they could produce works that were unique in at least one aspect. After the decline of the comic book movies, they turned to entertainment first and audience first. As long as the audience sees what they want to see, it doesn’t matter if a few works fail. As long as one or two CPs become popular, it is worth continuing to shoot. , how honorable. One or two team films whose box office is almost the sum of paving works are so lively and cutting-edge, as if this is the future of the entire film industry. Then now the characters have been destroyed, the story has loopholes, and the logic is incoherent, but with the high box office, the audience can afford the ticket and don't care about paying for the ticket, and they also feel the sincerity of the producer and the fetters of the actors. This is really rare, really Great. In this way, the style and quality of the movie can be improved, and the ugly movies in the past have become meaningful, and the characters, stories and logic can be accepted even if they are scattered, because there is sincerity and fetters.
As for other types of comics, Man of Steel is not interesting, Dawn of Justice is too dark, Deadpool is vulgar and disgusting, X-Men is boring and boring, and Spider-Man is waiting to see more new ones Well, there's also a saucy Iron Man in it.
That's good, "Spider-Man 2" is all in the past, no matter how high the reduction degree of Daben is, it can't be compared to the throat cancer patient who doesn't understand dry fighting skills, "X-Men" goes back and forth with super power biubiubiu It's better to watch Dundong to make a base, then don't have diversity; although the Disney-Marvel movies have never been deep and epic, let's continue to shoot and watch; although the Disney-Marvel movies The comics will always be killed along with the onlookers and mercenaries, but Batman is "rebellious" killing people, let's criticize DC for ignoring Marvel; although the story of the Disney-Marvel comics is told at the end It's always a personal vendetta, but it doesn't matter, who made it fun, fun and fashionable, who made us watch movies for leisure, never need to think and regurgitate, entertainment movies are good-looking, all pay After so much effort, picking faults and finding faults is a pain in the ass, so shut up if you can.
What a joke.
