I can't believe I wasted an hour on such a bad movie

This film completely subverted my understanding of the tough guy image of Wolverine in the traditional sense. Said that he had seen it for an hour and couldn't stand it any longer.
First of all, as far as the plot is concerned, I will not mention whether it is bloody or not. Although the plot of an old friend who died to protect the old friend's follower does make people feel that it is even bland and has no unexpected surprises, just look at the character design, the special effects of the camera ,plot.
Personality: I don't recall any of the Wolverine or X-Men movies I've seen before mentioning that Wolverine is immortal, but he has strong resilience and goes through it for revenge Just a remodel. When the red-haired girl in the second female appeared, my worldview was completely destroyed. What do you want the audience in the East to think? Beautiful or not is the second most important thing, so it's not going to come up with such a wonderful thing to ravage our audience's aesthetics, right? I don't believe she is a beauty in the eyes of Westerners or directors? Then I am first of all skeptical about the aesthetics and receptiveness of Western audiences. The movie is of the world, and the characters in the movie are of the world. Whether it is good-looking or not, the audience has commented that if the director likes it, it may not be a popular taste. Disregarding the feelings of the audience will cause an incalculable blow to the box office of the movie, and the final conclusion is only loss and disappearance. I would like to say that the "X-Men" series and the "Wolverine" series have worked so hard to build a group of tough-guy-style blockbusters that have been smashed into the ranks of second-rate movies by this movie. Will they continue to degenerate? , I hope the next Wolverine will have new surprises.
Let's talk about the plot again. Why do we watch American blockbusters? The first thing we watch when we watch such action movies is a refreshing one. If you want to abuse your IQ, you can watch Revolver, Memento, and the like. The purpose of watching American blockbusters is nothing more than to release pressure. The director must know what the audience wants to watch and what the purpose of watching the movie is. Take a look at this "Wolverine 2", the plot setting is a bit bloody, I recognize it, and its jumping degree is not inferior to the stand-alone game "Devil May Cry 5" (Devil May Cry 5: Wei Mao You), which was complained by netizens. It's me who is lying! The author: Let you jump out as well, you should!)! It is said that this movie and this game are really similar, subverting the tradition, completely destroying the previous generation, leaving no room for it. In view of "Devil May Cry 5" with its smooth operation, gorgeous tones, and smooth sense of blow, although it completely subverts the previous generation, it will not be swept out of the ranks of game masterpieces. But what about Wolverine 2? I don't remember which related movie mentioned before that Wolverine went to Japan, rescued a Japanese, killed a woman, etc., and seldom mentioned other people with special abilities, it just reset the background, In other words, reset Wolverine's living environment. From the "X-Men", their kind of people can still be accepted by ordinary citizens, and now they have become "monsters" that ordinary people can't avoid. Resetting the historical background of the environment, on another level, is tantamount to the denial of all previous masterpieces? How does this make the audience accept it? I didn't watch it later, but I found a small hotel that is a love hotel, and there is no adjacent room in the open room. This makes me really have no hope for the later plot.
Let's take a look at the special effects. First of all, we fight on the train, confront each other, and the linear composition is too hard. There is also the agent who is an ordinary person. The arrows he shoots do not consider gravity, wind direction, and wind force. The sniper rifle at such a long distance is the same as where to shoot. What’s even more awesome is that after shooting people, passers-by are still a woman. of! Still turning a blind eye we should go, go, go, go! There's a dead person on the side. Doing my P thing doesn't affect the mood, right? The emotional quality of Japanese people is so good, right? Then the director explained how the suicide rate in Japan is like? Let's take a look at the battle scenes. In the previous movies, Wolverine was not considered a martial arts master, but it was a hearty fight. This is why a considerable number of audiences like this series of movies: violent aesthetics, naked Cathar! But what about this fight? Wolverine is like a little bastard who has experienced all kinds of life and death before without any combat experience, relying on his two claws and immortality to be like a fool. But it's a pity that Wolverine's immortality is gone, and he was shot a few times. I'm really curious. Before entering the hotel, Wolverine was shot a lot. Without his self-healing ability, he is just an ordinary person, and his body is even heavier. His old man's motorcycle is obviously much heavier than the average person.) Logically speaking, the pressure on the blood vessels should be stronger and the bleeding should be more. Guns, bleeding for a day without dying, not to mention being able to stand up to fight with people, no matter how bad it is, at most it is just a crooked walk twice? Wolverine is a man, okay? A man who has not experienced monthly quantitative blood loss training can't resist the wound that does not heal in a day and bleeds like nothing happened? Bow down to the director's IQ, and bow down to the director's contempt for the audience's IQ.
All in all, the Wolverine that we want to see most incisively and vividly is gone, and the Wolverine who is rough and subtle but does not lose the overall situation is gone. The director threw a pair of unrealistic cowards in Wolverine's skin, a "tough guy" who could be forced to take a bath by a little girl with a knife but could carry several guns to fight and bleed all day long. Without the Wolverine of the past, no matter how heroic or bully it is, it is just an empty shell. Without history, the shaping of characters is unconvincing, and it can only make the audience who have seen the first few movies rushed to the incredible and unreasonable. What's more, the performance of Wolverine in the film is really unsatisfactory.
Maybe the original background I mentioned is mentioned by the author in the comics or novels, but I just want to say that what the audience sees is a movie, a visual picture. The audience is watching the fight, not the philosophical bullshit that the red-haired girl on the plane hangs and hangs on. I don't believe that a few people who watch the movie have actually seen cartoons of American heroes. If there are cartoons to check, this movie is too narrow.
Let me say it harshly, "Wolverine 2" abandoned its own past, like rootless duckweed, its terrible special effects and unreasonable plot arrangements are like a rainstorm that washes over the duckweed again and again, this movie , forgot.
Won't watch it anymore, really. It's not a movie review, it's a rant, there's nothing to criticize, and there's no regularity in what you say, so let's make do with it. The reason why "Wolverine 2" can get 6 points, I can only say that it has been exposed to the light of the previous work.

The Wolverine quotes

  • Logan: You the one who was attacked by the grizzly?

    Red Beard: I'm the one that survived.

    Logan: I'd like to buy this man a drink.

    Red Beard: What's your name, mister?

    [Logan sticks an arrow in the man's hand]

    Logan: It's Logan. And that's a poison broadhead, which, last I heard, was illegal. Go ahead, ask me where I found it. Ask me.

    Red Beard: Where did you find it?

    Logan: Well, funny you should ask. I pulled it out of the back a grizzly. Whoever shot it, didn't have wind or the balls to track the animal properly and put it out of its misery. Instead of dropping a lethal dose of the poison it bled into the bear, made him crazy, killed five people.

    Red Beard: I don't know what you're talking about. Because I don't dip my arrows in anything.

    Logan: In that case, you got nothing to worry about.

  • Logan: You said you knew the future of those assholes in the bar.

    Yukio: I know they are going to die. We are all going to die.

    Logan: You said they would die in the same truck, in a week. If you're right, that's quite a talent.

    Yukio: We don't all have claws.

    Logan: So, do I die on this plane?

    Yukio: No. Not on this plane.
