Basically, everyone can control people's thoughts, weather, steel, and even change people's clothes with just a stretch of their hands.
Some people don't even have to stretch out their hands, take off the glasses and directly probe, the special effects will help him destroy the object in front of him.
Why do you say that? Isn't "Captain America" and "Ant-Man" also piled up with special effects? Anyway, Captain America and Ant-Man still have some action scenes. Anyway, Iron Man has high-tech battle suits. Anyway, Thor can make you laugh in big scenes. It's Brian Singer's X-Men. , Only stunts, DuangDuangDuang.
Relying on stunts, most of the characters in the film can destroy everything in the world as long as they stretch out their hands, so in the whole film, except that Quicksilver has new ideas in character action design, and Mystique occasionally becomes someone else, Other characters are basically similar to the design of "with one wave of both hands, destroy everything".
In terms of character design, in addition to the director's tribute to himself and Matthew Vaughn's version of "X-Men: First Class", which is quite remarkable, the rest of the film is particularly thin, the most obvious being Magneto. Line.
At the beginning of the film, Magneto exposed his identity because of saving people, his wife and daughter were killed, and he also degenerated into a murderer, and was recruited by Apocalypse into the Four Horsemen. When Tian Qichu was planning to have a relationship with Professor X, Magneto used his power in the air to raze the surrounding area to the ground. ! I have to complain here. The screenwriter really does whatever he wants. When his wife and daughter died, he cried so heartbroken and blackened so thoroughly that it was too easy to clean up.
After talking about the person, let's talk about the story.
The story is also unremarkable. Like Ultron, a big villain who wants to rule the world begins to threaten the global crisis after resurrection. Of course, the threat still needs to be completed by special effects. After showing his power for dozens of minutes, He was killed by the group, and the story was finished like this. It was a bit like the social news a while ago: "The Black Boss Gets Out of Prison with a Hundred People Parade to Celebrate" Continued: Disturbing the order, the police arrested 14 people.
Characters don't matter, stories don't matter, so what matters? The director tells you: art.
The film is really painstaking in character modeling, creating a colorful world:
Professor X started to wear a pink jumper from the retro khaki windbreaker in "First War"; Mystique
changed from a leather windbreaker. Put on a low-cut T-shirt;
the beast no longer wears a white coat or a tie + plaid shirt when it is in a human state, but replaced it with a brown-red suit jacket.
In addition, the shapes of the mutants are also designed. . . . It makes people feel like they are watching "The Rocky Horror Show", especially Spirit Butterfly, Storm, and Nightcrawler, the unspeakable sense of disobedience, especially the battle suits that Apocalypse created for the Four Horsemen, although Apocalypse put his hand on the TV You have learned thousands of years of history on the plane, but your aesthetic still stays in ancient Egypt? Did women in ancient Egypt dye their hair white?
The pursuit of the unique aesthetics of ordinary people and mutant costumes cannot hide the fact that the film is empty and uninteresting. If you just want to watch a special effects feast, then it is. . . Go watch it, maybe, you can also wait for Fox's "Independence Day 2", which is much more powerful than Apocalypse.
