When I was a child, I didn't understand the plot or anything, I only knew that the visual effects were very handsome and amazing. When I grew up, I also began to pay attention to the plot. After rewatching these three films in the past two days, I just want to ask: What kind of ghost plot is the third one? In fact, after defeating Doctor Octopus in the second part, it can end perfectly. There are the following 8 main plot bugs that I want to complain about. (This article is about 2,500 words, some of which have spoilers, and those who are worried about being spoiled should be careful to enter)
1. Daddy Harry's Green Goblin - What the hell are you, Green Goblin? The dialogue in the mirror in the first part can be understood as the father's inner demon or the evil side is at work, if this is understood as a kind of surreal magicism, of course it doesn't matter, but at the end of the second part, the green goblin can be with Harry What the hell are you talking about? If so, why not talk to the butler? Not talking to MJ? Wouldn't it be able to talk to anyone? Wouldn't it be exciting to have several Green Goblin monsters at the same time?
2. The truth about the death of Harry's father A - Honey Butler. The housekeeper of Harry's house, when Harry refused Harry's help in the third Spider-Man, the housekeeper came to the laboratory to tell the truth and difficulties of Spider-Man over the years. I just wanted to ask what the butler did earlier? At this time, is it necessary for the plot? If the housekeeper had any clues about this laboratory before, could he explain it to the camera? Or the plot of the dialogue game with the green goblin? If the third part was explained before, there might not be a third part. Of course, Venom and Soldiers (the existence of Soldiers is also very buggy) may still appear, but it seems very strong and abrupt here. If the funds were sufficient and the copyright was no problem, maybe this pit would be explained in the fourth part, but unfortunately there is no chance.
3. The truth of Harry's death shows that B - Peter's IQ is off the line? I see you Peter confessing to MJ is very agile, how come you can't think of other effective ways to solve this problem when you come to Harry, why do you have to go to Harry face to face to explain? Can't you just write a letter or leave a message on the phone? Later, when you explained it face to face as Spider-Man, you didn't make it clear why. If you said it and Harry didn't listen, then we can also think that Harry was paranoid for revenge. But many times you open your mouth and don't say it, and you haven't explained it in the past two years.
4. The misunderstanding of the sand soldiers (whose appearance is very strong like veterans, let's call them sand soldiers for the time being) - a "misunderstanding" that mocks the audience's IQ and the plot is reversed. Interpreting the word "misunderstanding" to the end, there is even a feeling that people's IQ is offline. Let’s talk about who killed Uncle Peter B. Before that, I always thought it was a casino robber, but because of a sentence from the third police officer, I found out that the murderer was actually a sand soldier. Oh, it took two years for your police to find out. The real murderer, this is not a very bug. According to the explanation of the sand soldier at the end of the film, the uncle was not killed by him, but was killed by mistake or by another robber (actually, the scene here is not very explained. Clearly, it is estimated to be preparing for the fourth article, oh God!), according to the sand soldier's good intentions and misunderstood position, when Venom asked it to join forces to kill Spider-Man, he should not agree, this does not The character design does not conform to his character's personality, the logic is inconsistent, there is a feeling of deliberately selling out, and digging a hole in order to fill the previous hole, and this hole filling technology is really not good.
5. The inexplicable disappearance of the sand soldiers - the invincible existence. It can be seen from the shots of the third part that fight against Spider-Man, there is currently no way to kill it, and it is not easy to kill it. Of course, it may be killed, which may be the foreshadowing of the fourth part. . But after seeing Venom's death at last, the sand soldier suddenly began to explain what the hell was Uncle Peter's death? What the hell is it that he left on his own after saying that? Don't you rob the bank? Are you dying of your daughter's illness? Of course, you can say that he came to the Chinese construction site to grab the job of the excavator. He is extremely powerful, and he is a sandy soil structure. There is also a demand for real estate in China. If you move bricks and build houses all over the country, you can make a lot of money, and you will not break the law haha.
6. Peter's girlfriend MJ - The final battle of the three films uses you as a bargaining chip. Looking at the first part, it's okay for Harry to "prescribe the right medicine", but in the second part, Dr. Octopus is worried about letting go and calling the police? Then you can just let her go in the middle of the journey. Why do you have to take her to your experimental base to say this? ? The third Venom wants to make Spider-Man lose his girlfriend, then Venom can just find an opportunity to kill his girlfriend, and finally have a big battle with Spider-Man, wouldn't it be the same? And I was watching the eve of the third movie, MJ was arrested again, I already felt very creative.
7. The love line that Peter and his girlfriend MJ dragged - split, split, split, procrastinated, endless? Here again, the second part can really come to an end. The part of the scumbag bride MJ Green Groom looks really enjoyable. From the perspective of the protagonist's halo, it can be regarded as a perfect ending. Here I want to mention again in the third part, in order to combat Peter's threat to MJ in the plot, after Harry failed in revenge, lost his memory, and was awakened by honey for revenge (it can be said to be very procrastinating and boring), in Harry's revenge Under the threat, MJ broke up with Peter, and that part was not described too much, only the result, I always felt a lack of enthusiasm, and some forced it for the development of the plot. In the end, what is the logic of Harry's refusal to rescue after voluntary sacrifice? It is also a bit confusing. Has the pain of many years been relieved? Didn't he already know the truth about his father's death? Hadn't he forgiven Peter for blocking the gun? Then why doesn't he want to live anymore, and was stabbed in the heart by the venom and fell from an unknown height, and he can continue to wait for Spider-Man to speak, hey, this plot is really powerless to complain any more.
8. The conventional plot of the protagonist's halo - no matter how badly he was beaten before, there is mainly a motivation and opportunity. The protagonist's combat power instantly exploded, and the villain's combat power instantly dropped to zero. This is especially obvious in the first step. Back then, the subject matter in this area was relatively lacking compared to now. It is understandable to engage in such a cliché plot, but it is also a flaw in the arrangement of the plot itself.
All in all, defeating Doctor Octopus in the second part can open up a new villain plot line. If the above Harry's revenge plot and the existence of the sand soldier bug are deleted, the third part will only fight Venom, the plot will be much dull and boring, but the failure is in these places, you can say that the fourth part will explain it, but unfortunately there is no fourth It’s already a part, and even if there is a fourth part, I also feel that the plot settings of the third part are very protracted or not handled properly.
Visual effects are still very strong. The first film has obvious CG traces (one is relatively early, technical reasons, special effects are understandable), the animation effects of the mechanical tentacles and fighting clips of Dr. Octopus in the second film are still very challenging, and the special effects are better than The previous one was more realistic, but the light and shadow processing of some lenses in the later stage of the keying still had a feeling of piercing. Of course, it also won the Oscar for best visual effects that year, which is well deserved. The third CG trace is basically gone, and a large number of hydrodynamic particle effects (sand soldier's quicksand effect and venom's liquid effect) have been added. It can be seen that the team wants to seek new challenges in visual effects, which is also very good.
Some people may say that you can do it, you won't pay so much BB, I want to make a statement about this kind of voice, I am not very good at writing scripts, but I have also tried to come up with a complete set of logic before and after the plot. It is not easy, but it does not prevent us from looking at these deficiencies with a critical eye. It is a wake-up call for ourselves and a feedback for others. On the whole, it is a kind of self-improvement and progress. Innocent.
In the end, I really like the speed of speech and funny image of the boss of the newspaper, and the "James Franco" who plays Harry is really handsome. I also watched "127 Hours" starring him a few months ago, and it's really good looking and acting.
