Almost all the way to the end, just a little bit

"Extreme Car Thief" 8.0

If we only talk about drag racing, Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver" is better than any fast-moving movie. Even if the director is habitually unfinished again, this movie is completely worth watching only the first few racing scenes. Back to the fare.

As for the drag racing version of "La La Land", it's probably because the marketing account copied and copied three people into a tiger. Haven't young people now watched "Bonnie and Clyde"?

Watching "Interstellar", the anticipation and excitement raised by "Space Oddity" at the beginning were quickly extinguished by the mediocre Luc Besson, and the next day I went to watch "Car Thief", Edgar Lai It continued my excitement very well, and almost made it all the way to the end.

The story is old-fashioned and simple, but a genius always has the ability to tell something new. It's normal to step on the beat when dancing, and a beat in the action scene of fighting and fighting is very eye-catching. In the movie, put the gear on the accelerator and ravage the steering wheel, whirling around on the street to cross with pedestrians, parkour rolling and pulling guns and firing, all stepping on the beat of the BGM? Then I had no choice but to shake my legs first.

Originally, "Ant-Man" was supposed to be directed by Edgar Wright, but for some reason he was replaced in the middle. In the end, only the name of a screenwriter was hung, so the "Ant-Man" in 2015 You can vaguely see something that escapes, but it's still just a qualified and excellent MCU movie. James Gunn's group of retro mourning guards is probably the bottom line that Marvel's main universe can tolerate. It's really up to Edgar Wright to let it go according to his own preferences. According to his "Blood and Ice Cream" three The filming method of the part, should Ant-Man join the Women's Federation?

Edgar Wright may surprise people, but it is Disney after all, after all, it is the main Marvel universe that focuses on the overall situation, and with the level of business of the Disney people, it is difficult to make bad movies. It is the combination of art and industry, and Disney is currently the top level of human film industrialization. As soon as the assembly line starts, throw any IP in it, and it comes out as a box office harvester. I can't accept it.

The unfinished end is Wright's old problem. Almost all of his works are high and low. The plot of the setting is full of high spirits. The anti-genre's ghost and horse's mind is really unrestrained, but at the end, it is often unsatisfactory. So much so, if the previous works are just murmurs, at the end of "Extreme Car Theft God", it will be a bit confusing.

Kevin Spacey's unpredictable "I used to love too" turned from a ruthless behind-the-scenes gangster to a good American teammate who died generously with a big spray.

The opening set the stage for Uncle Ham and Baby to have similar interests. He also mentioned that he also seems to have extraordinary driving skills. I thought the two would have a fight at the end. Five consecutive hairpin turns were prepared, and the boss battle at the end turned out to be two cars. Fighting each other's horsepower in the parking lot? Too much.

It is not difficult to heat up the atmosphere and make the audience hilarious. One or two explosion points that are properly grasped are enough. What is difficult is to control the emotions of the audience all the time. It's like a brainless and lively party scene, playing the game where I say "hi" and you say "yo", you can have a long time with the fool who was guided by you, provided you don't forget the words first.

Once your plot goes visibly out of control, the audience will soon be able to get back his lost brain, get out of the immersive thrilling adventure, and return to his God-perspective sitting in front of the screen. I feel like, no, it's not reasonable, I wouldn't do it otherwise, and once the audience starts to think, just do it for yourself and be ridiculed.

Thank you Sister Xin for the gift of tickets. Although you kindly gave me two tickets, I have only one person. I chose the day before Qixi Festival on the weekend. There were only three or two people in the huge movie theater. It was very comfortable to watch.
