It is very difficult to watch a joint US military exercise.
In fact, "TR1" is already a fried rice in essence, and "TR2" at best makes the fried rice more fragrant. However, it is hard to say whether the audience will buy it or not.
"TR1" was so well-received back then, and I don't think it really had anything to do with Michael Bay. The audience of "TR1" is nothing more than the group of people since the 1970s: after the 70s and 80s, watching it is nothing more than reminiscing about the lost childhood, just hearing the phrase "automobile transformation" can be very exciting; after the 90s, mainly watching Look at the special effects of the scenes, see the grass-roots heroes, and see the passion of young and frivolous racing. The group of people born in the seventies and eighties knew it was fried rice, but they didn't mind every time they ate it for a long time—as for the post-90s, they didn't eat it before, but now it tastes pretty good on the first night. All in all, it is a joy for all ages.
But the second time, it didn't taste as good. For example, I watched calmly in the movie theater: I stared at Optimus Prime carefully for a long time, but I didn't expect the sentence:
"The Autobots, Roll Out."
This is very confusing. Let's say you order a fried rice, and it's gorgeous inside. But you have eaten for a long time, and you can't eat where the food is - this is not an ordinary entanglement.
Of course, it is also possible that the ear is shallow, the hearing is extremely poor, and there is nothing strange about not hearing it. The big deal is to see it again. However, there is one more disappointment that I found. Except for one Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, the Autobots, the Jazz Tin Ambulance and others were completely reduced to passers-by. One shot went by and it was gone—although I thought the twins inside were very happy, and the remote-controlled car was cute, but Michael Bay still couldn’t stop my urge to bang my head against the wall.
At least, I won't squat down in front of the computer after watching the movie and write down my incompetent depression word by word.
I believe that many people will not care how much armament the U.S. military has dispatched this time, how much your fucking special effects cost, or how emotional the hero and heroine are—please, at least invest some money Go in, at least let the other Autobots show their faces and change their bodies - or you can let Bumblebee say something...
Since you can't watch "TR2" from a nostalgic perspective, then you have to try to start from a brand new one. Commercial blockbuster perspective, a little discussion. Michael Bay, as the commercial director of the Golden and Silver Lions at the time, is indeed surprising for the size of this film. Although there is no rice, there is still a lot of abalone.
After reading it, I have another feeling: Michael Bay is a genius after all. As if the entire U.S. military is his iron buddy. When Michael Bay and the Pentagon negotiated the contract, it was almost like Nicolas Cage's "Lord of War":
Michael Bay just wanted to borrow a helicopter and take aerial photos of the Pentagon. The opposite party immediately took him to the military port and said, the plane is probably a bit difficult, what do you think of the aircraft carrier? The next row of F22 is arranged in front of you from left to right.
It is said that the U.S. military has provided 2 A-10 fighters, 6 F-16 fighters, 10 armored Humvees, "Golden Knight" military parachuting teams, 2 M1A2 tanks, 2 M3A3 tanks, and 2 self-propelled missiles. Launch vehicle, 2 armoured vehicles, military explosives and bombs - there is also a missile testing range and 72 active duty marines are attached.
This set of things alone has a lot of potential as a blockbuster. Moreover, there are two more than 100 million investment and a Spielberg.
Enough to make some people jump for joy and scream in amazement.
Another development of Michael Bay is: compared to the vase of complete passers-by in TR1, this time Megan Fox finally played the role of the heroine's clue, and ran wild with the hero without abandoning it - and in the climax of the film. With love and tears, the dying male protagonist was resurrected smoothly. At the end of the movie, I saw a student couple beside me, kissing passionately as if there was no one else around. - Michael Bay's sensationalism has played a role.
When I watched "Escape from the Clone Island" with a classmate, the person unabashedly scolded the director for being an idiot. It's not what I want to say, but it does come close to what I want to say. More money, more equipment, more complicated plots, and after the hidden characters jumped out, the awesome and shiny materials were available—it was found that the chefs were completely unable to coordinate.
For example, the director likes to intersperse one or two peaceful scenes in the fierce fighting scenes, one to set off the atmosphere, and the other to make some tensions - for example, shortly after the opening, the male protagonist's kitchen at home: I admit that the small robot fights are very interesting , The old father and the old mother have a lot of laughs, but when Michael Bay is linked with the camera, it is not difficult to see a crappy chef from the inside, making a table full of people in a hurry.
When Michael Bay was preparing for "TR2", it was estimated that he was very big. First of all, the special effects, racing jokes and the like have been played to a certain extent in "TR1". It's a bit embarrassing to fry cold rice now. But after all, Michael Bay is a smart guy. The reason why smart people are smart is actually what my teacher said to me back then: I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, and I can steal even if I don’t know how to recite them.
So Michael Bay gave us a glimpse of the liquid metal man of "T3". I think that's also a highlight. If she doesn't make the heroine jealous in less than 60 minutes of the opening, and hits it to a pulp - develop it and make a mistress. Michael Bay's love element could add at least twenty points.
Michael Bay is very proud of this reference. It is said that Transformers III, he will draw on "Star Wars" and "Starship" elements. But I think that a starship that will transform has gone beyond the starship model, so we might as well set our sights on Japan. There is such a deformable spaceship in the Macross Fortress.
I'm looking forward to this.
When "Transformers" was remade, the Los Angeles Times and the Apollo Times scolded it. "Michael Bay lacks talent", "Summer blockbuster made with money", "ridiculous, rigid, unnatural" - but in fact, the TR1 of the year received a lot of praise.
After all, Michael Bay has made me and many people recall those days together, reminiscing about my childhood when I ran to the house to catch TV after class. Transformers are our childhood heroes, fearless, and just—or believe in themselves—just as we were.
This is more attractive to people like me than the director and the plot. We just hope to see our heroes, our dreams, all over again. Although Michael Bay is still an idiot, he did not prevent me from enjoying the 120 minutes of the movie. And I want to go and watch it for another 120 minutes.
However, this does not prevent me from asking Michael Bay at the end of this article:
Although the rice is cold, could you please give it some stir-fry?
