boring special effects blockbuster

It has been less than half a year since the release of Star Wars "The Last Jedi", and the audience's expectations and freshness have not been formed. And the completely disjointed three-act narrative rhythm, uninspired battle scenes, plus some boring reversals that Hollywood has often used over the years. Despite the halo of "Star Wars", "Ranger Solo" is not very good, it can only be said to be a neat running account story. The unsatisfactory North American box office also led to Disney's "introspection action."

Since Disney took over "Star Wars", it has always wanted to get closer to Chinese fans. We can see Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen in the rumors. In the eighth film, Yue Yunpeng even appeared as a man disguised as a woman, but overall It is still difficult to please mainland China, the world's largest box office. I prefer Star Wars 7 because it's a good legacy, and I think Rogue One is also good because it doesn't dig holes for the sake of digging holes, and it's still quite enjoyable to watch.

I fell asleep when I saw "Snowpiercer" earlier, but it doesn't really matter in retrospect, because what followed was even more catastrophic.

Star-Lord's shape should be more or less based on Han Solo's, and even the pose of holding a gun and shooting is so similar.

In my opinion, this reboot and Spider-Man (whether Garfield or Snow peas) are disastrous, and it always tells us a story that knows the end from the beginning, even the twists and turns. So like, the next reversal is even more immature and ridiculous. We can't help but ask Disney, are you really making movies well? Did you say Ranger Solo finally grew up? There is, it seems that we have never heard him mention any stories of his predecessors in the original biography. Maybe this time he is growing up in relief, but it is not some core content.

As for the special effects, it seems to be like a set of templates, just like Lucas prepared a set of green screen templates for the Star Wars movie. Maybe the next time we watch it, we'll see the same thing again. Old and stuck, just imagine how scary and boring it would be if the series would go on forever. The director said that the audience watching this film does not need any knowledge of Star Wars at all, but it is also in line with the norms of ordinary special effects blockbusters.
