For the first time, Chinese audiences felt such real and shocking visual effects and interesting and vivid storylines.
As a very landmark film work, CCTV6 has also been played repeatedly, which is a childhood memory of many people, and Robin Williams has also become a common memory of a generation of Chinese movie fans.
This time, Hollywood once again brought the sequel to "Jumanji" on the big screen, with a gimmick that paid tribute to the classic to attract the public's attention.
However, "Jumanji: Battle of the Jungle" must have disappointed old fans. In addition to being more advanced in visual effects, the new version is not as good as one-tenth, one-tenth, one-tenth of the old movie. .
The subtlety of the old Jumanji is that the jungle beasts in the game come into the real world, always concocting interesting, new and engaging adventures.

During the viewing process, I once felt like I was playing "Super Mario", which is still the very simple version.
The protagonists in the movie don't need to think or try to solve the trouble, because every character in the game is endowed with super skills, such as Johnson's skills are fearlessness, climbing, speed, and the weakness is "none" .
WTF! I have never encountered a setting that affects game balance so much.
Even so, the screenwriter thought the game was too difficult, and designed three lives for the protagonists. . . . . . to waste. .
"Jumanji: Battle for the Jungle" is a movie that can see the ending from the beginning. The storyline is not the point at all. The filmmakers only need to make such a popcorn brainless movie compact and exciting enough. If Judging from this dimension alone, the film has successfully completed its mission.
There are wild jungles, there are bikers, there are Amamba snakes, there is justice over evil,
The film has all the elements that Hollywood blockbusters should have, and also adds the description of the "transformation plan" of the youth.
Let the self-centered school girl become a greasy uncle
.
The timid nerd Spencer and the burly and sturdy "refrigerator" swapped in the game, one became a hero and the other became a clown.
Let Masha, who is ordinary in appearance and inferior in heart, become the sexy and hot Charlie's Angels in the game.
Such contrasting character experiences constitute the main source of the film's laughs and contradictory plots. The protagonists go from grumbling with each other to understanding and encouraging each other, overcoming their inner fears, and completing their growth and transformation.
To put it simply, I didn't have high expectations for a popcorn movie, and it was not bad for the audience to have a relaxed and happy time.
However, I still feel very sorry.
When did our requirements for movies drop so low? Which of the big movies in the past did not have exciting special effects and profound themes?

In recent years, no matter the domestic film industry or the Hollywood film industry, there has been an obvious phenomenon of creative drying up and superficial thinking, which is undoubtedly disastrous for a medium that carries information and thought output.
The movie screen is filled with the "Avengers" series, "Star Wars" series, and "Journey to the West" series, and the sequels of the big IPs take turns to play cold rice. Except for the dazzling special effects and glib laughter, no one cares whether the content of the movie is not. Brings thoughtfulness and novelty. Movie makers only know that big IPs are good for publicity and selling, leaving audiences with only two choices: bad films and big-budget bad films.
Just like the super-high box office results of "Predecessor 3", the
audience is nothing more than making a choice among the bad films such as "The Worry-free Grocery Store", "Second Generation Goblin", "Demon Bell", and "Star Wars". There is no one who is more advanced or more influential than the other. To the audience, what appears to be a variety of movie choices, in fact, has no choice.
This is the current state of the film industry in our era. In addition to more advanced technological means, thinking tends to be more simplistic, and I am afraid to talk about something a little more complicated.
I have always believed that movies with profound themes can also become commercial hits, such as "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather". I have watched such classic movies several times and still feel unsatisfied.
But "capital" is lazy, and when they find a way to make money without having to work their brains, they will never be willing to spend time fine-tuning the quality of the money-making tools.
