Next, let's take a look at this new X-Men, shall we?
First of all, of course, are the fight scenes and special effects. This part can be said to have basically met expectations. The scenes of the Egyptian era in the opening few minutes were extremely stunning, and the atmosphere and overall visual experience even caught up with the Eye of Power, which specializes in Egyptian mythology. The 3D effect of the time lapse of the credits section is also great. But later, there are really many battles and superpowers, and the light waves and the enemy's ability to display will indeed make people tired. Like the huge section in "Captain America 3", creativity and humor coexist, with a variety of conflicting characters, and that kind of overwhelmed fighting, there is really no. However, Quicksilver Time is a good plus. Although it is the original idea of the previous generation, this one is longer and has more tricks, and the soundtrack has a peculiar sense of humor. So overall it's pretty good.
From the tone of the story, it feels more explicit, or in other words, the character's heart is basically not portrayed. At the time of "First Battle", Matthew Vaughn was still the director, and the overall style was very realistic, making people feel that this is a group of X-men living in reality. They have flesh and blood, conflicts and contradictions, and pain and struggle. It can be said to be more realistic. "Reversing the Future" changed the director, the overall style began to develop towards the super department, and the portrayal of the characters' hearts began to decrease. However, because it has a good story structure, plus more and more dazzling special effects, and retains the core conflict between humans and mutants, it is a good one overall. But "Apocalypse" is indeed going further and further to the super system, giving up the deep contradiction that can have depth and interest in the conflict between mutants and humans, and began to talk about a big boss with ambition to rule the world and other people's external contradiction. There is almost nothing inside the character. By the way, there are still some, in case there is one at the beginning (no spoilers). But it disappeared for some reason later. I remember that Lao Wan was floating in the magnetic needle ball for half an hour, and he was suddenly moved and reversed. It was a bit too forced.
In fact, superheroes, everyone has long known their strong abilities. To make superhero movies look good, the most important thing is to portray their helplessness. In "First Battle", Mystique and the Beast care about their appearance, Lao Wan, who bears a lot of hatred, and the carefree and loving little professor, how distinctive these characters are. However, although there are many characters in Apocalypse, they always give people a feeling that they are only helping the Boss, or fighting against the Boss. Qin's portrayal is relatively in-depth, but it's just that the three fools will play no matter how they look at it! Oh, winter is coming!
In terms of the rhythm of the story, there is a bit of procrastination in the middle, but it doesn't get up later. The brighter color palette feels like a very real world, and the overall look and feel is more comfortable. There are too many characters, but the portrayal is too average and superficial. Character interaction fun or CP fun, basically the focus is EC, no matter what the position is, Lao Wan and the professor are still a deep friendship that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Muyu's completely subjective rating
Director 6.5
The middle part of the script is a little procrastinated 6.5
The visual effects are good, the fast silver time is the highlight. 8.5
The theme is relatively shallow, and the character depiction is superficial. 7.
Overall review 7.1 . It's too cute
to watch
EC... Lao Wan said at the time: I wrote your name with my ability
. World War I director Matthew Vaughn was involved in the writing of Days of Future Past, but Apocalypse didn't participate at all. He and Uncle Wolf and Taron Egerton made a movie called "Eddie the Eagle" ^^ Do you remember the movie review of Muyu at that time? At this time, I will feel that a good director is really important. The director of "Apocalypse" is not bad, but relatively less open-minded.
