It's a pity in terms of entertainment and plot


. When I walked into the cinema, I only saw Peggy the phantom cat teleporting Uncle Wolf with her latest ultimate move (I didn't see the wall-piercing technique...). The Great Emperor (Charles, the smartest) and Gandalf (McLean with a haircut) are really bad old men at the end of their lives. The real main characters are the two of them decades ago + Frankenstein + Mystique + crossing wolf uncle.

The little naughty finally showed her face. The Phoenix girl had a line, and the one-eyed dragon was jealous again. The ending went back to when Uncle Wolf first arrived at the mutant school... This is similar to "Inception" and "Terminator" Traveling through, almost made me fall into the good memories of the first and second parts, the picture goes back to 1973, Stryker (it's Stryker, the officer who injected Uncle Wolf with alloy steel in "Wolverine", It's not the little devil who played Trisk who invented the sentinel. It's so stupid that I can't tell the difference. I almost thought it was the same person) to salvage the unconscious Uncle Wolf. Stryker's eyes flickered - rub, it turned out to be Mystique again, so will the next "X-Men" series be named "Wolverine 3" or "Mystique 1" column? Jennifer Lawrence's baby face and blue skin are really cute. It seems that the rumors about the filming of "Mystique" are not groundless. Judging from the final Mystique's eyes, the several intrusions of William Stryker Jr., and the fact that Magneto still parted ways with everyone, this is by no means the last "Fork Man".

In the supporting role, Fan Ye's performance is really super cool, and it's a complete blast of Kakashi and Obito's Shenwei Shunyan. Unfortunately, he ended up with the big black guy who doesn't know what market he came from, and a bunch of old X-Men. slaughtered (even Storm got soy sauce). Only Magneto's son not only has a great personality in the play, but also has a set of slow-motion close-ups, which can be regarded as stealing the limelight of his father, Uncle Wolf, Frankenstein, and Professor Fork, and is also the only outstanding new character in this new work.

In terms of technology, this new work only uses 3D to dazzle the effect of superpowers, and uses technology to serve the story. For marketing purposes only), he was the reason - any use of filmmaking technology is to serve the needs of art.
The selling point of "X-Men" has not been the first selling point of action scenes and computer technology since the first part, but what I will say next -

Philosophical discussion: Human desire and fear for change

This is the main conflict of the entire "X-Men" series of comics and movies, and it is this conflict that has spawned so many stories.

In this parallel time and space now, Wolverine still only remembers that he was drowning in a coma. Logically speaking, it can be regarded as a complete story, but this is not the part of the X series that I pay attention to. Only by looking at the development process and structure of the story, the most superficial and shallowest level of understanding of knowledge, the truth and aesthetics that are separated from the form observed in the story itself, and the feeling and resonance of emotional changes, are we in touch with other things. Greatest fun.

In my eyes, the American heroism in the Avengers, where the X-series stories are completely different, is not the image of the patron saint of prominent status, wealth, and personal ability that has been widely accepted and mythological. X-Men They are all unstable people who are rejected by ordinary people and feared by the government. They are some uncontrollable factors that are not harmonious with society. In the eyes of ordinary people, mutants are demons that may threaten their own existence.

What I like about the X series also lies in the many oriental chivalrous plots and the forbearance of chivalrous men. It's similar to Nolan's version of Batman, and because of that, these two franchises are the only superhero franchises I watch over and over again. No matter how different people's eyes and incomprehensions are faced, they all stick to their own way of justice and fight for peace, especially the two main characters, Professor X and Uncle Wolf. Professor X is an idealist and pacifist. He not only possesses extraordinary wisdom, but he can lead many mutants because he bears a weight that ordinary people cannot bear. He firmly believes that mutants can coexist in harmony with ordinary people. Complete the normal evolutionary process of human beings. Uncle Wolf is a typical choleric, irritable but kind-hearted. He has endured too many pains of life and death, and he does not know the ins and outs of his own destiny, but he has never strayed from the chivalrous spirit of justice and kindness.

On the other hand, ordinary human beings lack caring and active communication when facing special groups, and they are full of defense against the things that have changed around them. Especially the politicians and businessmen who control power and economy, treat these special talents who may not be able to control as demons, and constantly emphasize to the public that these people will abuse their superpowers to endanger society. At least I understand very well that this is completely a politician's profiteer. self-projection.

Look at Magneto and Mystique, who were once defined as villains by most ordinary audiences. In fact, from the first part, they were not evil, they just wanted to protect the mutants in a way they thought was right. human life and unleashing hatred against ordinary human beings. In "First Battle" and "Reversal of the Future", more emotional characterizations of these two people have been made, so that the audience can better understand their experiences and inner world. It can be seen that although they have super powers that are different from ordinary people, their inner world is no different from ordinary people. They are all human beings with love and hate, and rich emotions.

The fear of human beings does come from the uncontrollability of the unknown. That unknown variable is called the unknown X. If you do not accept changes and mutual trust, the fear will stay there forever. You can only take the initiative to take a step to let your X element. It's no longer the X element, to reach out to others, to touch the career you hope to develop, and to touch your once only delusional wish, and you will know whether they are terrible or beautiful.
