Get a new bucket of popcorn

It is obviously impossible for Marvel

Movies to change the fate of its Hollywood popcorn movies. It depends on the audience's own demand for superheroes that come for popcorn movies. If you can't see the "popcorn movie" Rice Krispies has smashed Marvel's signboard, but Marvel also knows that this "popcorn" cannot always be "the same formula or a familiar taste" like a certain treasure drink. "Police: Reverse the Future", it is this bucket of popcorn with a new flavor.


The success of "Reversing the Future" is that it not only maintains the light and shadow special effects that Hollywood in the United States is good at, but also takes the traditional Hollywood popcorn movie form into a new taste that is deeply versed in humanistic philosophy. In fact, the relationship between mutants and humans The estrangement has always been an important plot extension of the X-Men series, but the lack of three series makes people feel that there is so little taste, just as a hostile plot conflict between the X-Men and Magneto, and in the new work "Reversing the Future" It has become the fulcrum that determines the plot, mastering the sentinel technology that can exterminate the future of mutants and the past where mutants have the upper hand. As the development of the plot, Wolverine bears the heavy responsibility of changing the past. Many mutants' future and past are interspersed through it. The foreshadowing of the first few films, there is no emotional drama in the plot, and the overall plot is coherent. The impression of the movie to me is not like the previous Hollywood popcorn movie. The plot serves the special effects, but the script is the starting point, and the special effects serve the plot. , the focus of the movie is on how to present this series of stories in front of the audience in a most complete manner, instead of the American style of watching and playing, but after the movie is over, it feels as if nothing has been seen. Popcorn.


At the end of "X-Men 3", I thought it was the end of a series of Marvel, but after Marvel, it was a prequel, a rumor, and a variety of burying lines. It is not difficult to see that Marvel is obviously not. Planning to give up this gold-absorbing artifact prematurely, "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which follows the previous plots, is, to put it bluntly, an ultimate feast tailored for X-Men fans. A profound extension of the suspense of future crises, as well as a fascinating nostalgia for the known past, this is a movie that can only truly appreciate its charm after you have watched the entire series and know the relationship map of the characters. "Future" is no exaggeration to say that this is the best sequel in its series. He not only tells the complicated relationship between mutants in an orderly manner, but also is full of sci-fi charm and has a more rigorous plot, but at the same time is objective. The limitations of many prequels also make this film by no means a perfect work, because it is difficult for audiences who do not know the relationship between the characters in the film to understand the worldview created by the series of "X-Men". The emotion in the eyes and actions of the characters.


Watching "Future Reversal" always reminds me of the regret of watching the "X-Men" trilogy back then. In this new work, the final focus of the movie has been rewritten. Those well-known characters gathered together, and everything changed. The taste is unknown again, which makes this bucket of popcorn with a new taste not only has a new taste, but also has that familiar fragrance.
