Schwarzenegger turned and lost

As Schwarzenegger's comeback masterpiece, after the storm of "Batman and Robin" for many years, "The Devil's End" is not a bad film, but it has dashed Schwarzenegger's hopes of reviving his glory in the film industry.

"The Devil's Last" is a big religious gimmick, and it was released at the dawn of the millennium. It is reasonable to say that there are many commercial selling points, and Schwarzenegger is also very hard. Not only did many action scenes go into battle in person, but he also paid more attention to excavation in performance. The character connotation, to be honest, has made considerable progress-but "The Devil's End" hardly caused any waves, and the defeat was lost to the millennial gimmick. If "The Devil's End" appears a year in advance, it will surely be a small sensation. But in 1999, there were two technical and ideological masterpieces of "The Phantom Crisis" and "The Matrix" appeared. It is basically impossible to get the audience's attention again. NS.

In addition, Schwarzenegger's comeback thinking is also somewhat biased. What we Arnold fans look forward to is that he will show off his muscles and repair the earth. Facts have proved that even if he plays "Terminator 3" again, we still join in. However, Schwarzenegger spent too much time in enriching the psychology of the characters in "The Last of the Devil" and the later failed "Sixth Day". This has always been Schwarzenegger's weakness, even if he is performing hard,观众买票是想让你用拳头狠揍坏蛋的,而不是儿女情长玩弄颓废和深沉。So although both "Doomsday" and "The Sixth Day" are very connotative, they fail in business strategy. This kind of movie is not an Arnold movie, but more like Tom Hanks' style.

Rating: 3.5
