One star for the little sapling

There is only one feeling after watching this movie - it's boring

Let's talk about the movie's highlights first, if you understand this as a highlight:

Intense and colorful picture. High-end atmosphere with extreme computer effects. The lines are eloquent and unintelligible. There are some embarrassing jokes. Green-skinned shirtless man's tweeter. A cute little tree man who makes people vomit old blood. Seamlessly connected classic oldies. The protagonists imitate the reunion of the reunion. Xingjue searched thousands of miles to recognize his godfather.

All this reflects the director's extreme lack of self-confidence. It also exposed the irrefutable fact: the film's far-fetched story and thin plot. So I did everything I could to make you watch with relish even if you ignored them.

In fact, I wasn't very interested in this film at first, but considering Marvel's golden brand and an 8.4-point rating on a certain website, I still decided to see it! But director, you gave up so much energy, my friend and I still slept in the same chair in the cinema and both fell asleep! This is so embarrassing!

Of course, it may also be some kind of silver guard-style superhero movie that I can't understand.

But this little sapling is really cute! I really want to raise one. It looks good and doesn't need to be talked about. It doesn't need to eat or drink, and it doesn't need to shovel shit. Wen Neng acts coquettishly and sells cute loli sounds, and Wu Neng buries bombs from the air. The most important thing is that there is no talk! Just rushing to this cute thing is totally worth the ticket price. So, this star, I gave it! Take it~ I'm not afraid of your pride!

Tucao returns to Tucao, the following is a rational analysis of a wave

In fact, it is not difficult to find that Marvel's superhero films have begun to make some new attempts. Compared to the next-door dc who has 3,000 beauties, it's a pity that he has not cited them for many years. Only the Nolan trilogy can be put on the table. It can be said that Marvel has been ahead more than a little bit. From the previous Deadpool, to Captain America 2, Team America 3, and Wolverine 3, they are all excellent products that blur the theme of superheroes and magnify the characteristics of genre films: spy war suspense Styled Captain America, the R-rated romantic comedy Deadpool, and this year's humane road movie-style Wolverine. Superheroes are no longer just to save the world, they also have contradictions, and when they wander and feel overwhelmed, they are also fresh and independent people. Because filmmakers also know that Hollywood movies have never been short of big production scenes, and the world can be destroyed and saved countless times. But as the star halo of all kinds of superheroes has dissipated over the years and generations, and the audience is no longer fresh or even tired of the visual effects, it is necessary to add some seasoning to this feast to keep us fresh. It can even be said that this is a necessary means.

The Guardians of the Galaxy can actually be included in these attempts, because we can clearly feel that the Guardian is different from most of the superhero movies we have seen. But did the attempt really succeed? This is really a matter of opinion.

First of all, the movie has created a colorful and splendid multiverse space for us. The protagonist travels between several alien planets, plus all kinds of alien creatures, aliens, alien spaceships, etc., it really gives people an unprecedented kind of Novelty, even seeing the shadow of the movie Avatar From this point of view, this attempt is undoubtedly a success. And the cost of doing so is also obvious, that is, the film lacks credibility, fails to generate a sense of identity, and is difficult to convince the audience. After all, what we see are strange things that we have never seen before, the protagonists are not people from the earth, some of them are not even people, and the background of the story is not the earth.

In this case, there must be full and three-dimensional character modeling, compact and reasonable story arrangement, character contradictions and inner entanglements throughout the play, and even a movie theme with a humanistic spirit. And the director chose the most mindless and trouble-free way: make it a comedy. In this way, you can be immersed in the joyful atmosphere and have no time to take into account the blunt story, because since it is a comedy, the characters' words and actions do not need any motivation, let alone create a so-called dramatic conflict, just for the comedy effect. Use endless mouth cannons to defeat the boss with laughter and laughter all the way, we are family. And a lot of funny, cute, tear-jerking bridges, shallow emotional interaction of characters to shape characters. In this way, even if it is a comedy, the audience can still feel that these heroes are human, have emotions and personalities, make you believe that these people exist and are the same as us ordinary people, and then make you believe this The world is real, it's just so far away from us.

Marvel's die-hard fans should like this movie very much, and will continue to look for all kinds of Easter eggs with great interest. I like this family-friendly style, those who don't want to think hard about the plot to understand the story, and want to see big scenes will also like this movie very much.

But for most people who are accustomed to watching American-style jokes without any laughs and the big scenes produced by the Hollywood assembly line, the viewing process will undoubtedly be very tormenting.
