After watching the movie, I curiously googled whether the movie was Yuan Heping, but it was not. This movie was an absolute success as an action movie. The part of being chased in the woods is indeed very similar in style to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Whether it's the slow shot of the bullet swiping from Peanut's waist, or the slow shot of the bomb blowing into the dust, it is indeed reminiscent of the slow shot of Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong dancing swords in the film. It's a success, even though it's a little blunt to put these shots here that I don't really understand what the point is.
Its success is not only that it imitates the use of footage of the best foreign language film at the Oscars, but that it really does enough work as an action film. A lot of fighting scenes and explosion scenes, the rhythm is so fast that the audience can't keep up. From this aspect, it looks very similar to "Let the Bullets Fly", which was very popular last year, with great rhythm and sound effects. During the entire viewing process, people can't relax for a minute, or they will be afraid that they will miss an important clue, and it can be said that there is no urine in the whole process. I'm still thinking about when there will be a movie like "Jean", but this "Fu 2" is also a surprise. (PS: I love Jiang Wen!)
But as a suspenseful detective film, it may have made too much investment in action, and the suspense may have to be greatly reduced. Basically, there is no particularly subversive plot. As long as the main line of the follow movie keeps moving forward, there are no big surprises in terms of plot. As a person who values suspense more than action, it's actually a bit of a pity. In terms of suspense, it is quite satisfactory, which also makes this movie lose the highlights of Sherlock Holmes. It is said that Downey's performance was borrowed from a certain cartoon, but this subversive Sherlock Holmes still made me a little hard to accept. Before that, the image of Sherlock Holmes when he handled a case like the Orient Train with a pipe, hat and crutches was really So deep into my heart.
Of course, aside from the original, this is definitely a good movie. There should be action and action, humor and humor, yes, and humor. Ever since the aggrieved Watson didn't have a bachelorette party, it seemed that humorous points began to appear one after another. Watson who couldn't get his money back, the down-and-out groom, Sherlock Holmes who was disguised on the train, Brother Fu who was happy to be naked, and There are times when Sherlock Holmes pretends to be the sofa and the walls are irresistible laughs. Of course, it's still a bit nonsensical. Pushing Mrs. Watson under the bridge and raising all kinds of animals and plants in the room, this seemingly excessive coincidence and behavior, is probably a unique humor in Hollywood.
In general, it is a movie worthy of your entering the theater, and you can have a good time after the audio-visual enjoyment. Of course, don't think about the original!
