Hollywood special effects technology has reached its peak, which is a well-known status quo. The film industry products created by the top special effects companies in other countries can always be easily compared. As a result, on the one hand, it greatly restricts the development of special effects outside the Hollywood region, and on the other hand, it makes the audience around the world more or less immune to big scenes and big production movies. For this reason, in recent years, it is not uncommon to see "tragedies" in which heavy investment was lost and lost everything. Unless you have an ace money-sucking tycoon like Johnny Depp, although the budget has dropped by nearly 25%, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" can still stand out from the crowd, waving his sleeves and swept away more than 1 billion US dollars. In the face of the depression of the North American market and the frequent occurrence of low-cost dark horses, the producer of "Iron Armored Steel Fist" has confirmed the lifeline of the audience. While still playing with special effects, it uses warmth, inspiration, and cuteness Elements of the cost work wrap themselves in order to sell. Facts have proved that this opportunistic move is quite immediate.
It is appropriate to say that "Iron Fist" is "speculative". It almost copied Stallone's "Rocky 1" from beginning to end, and it is purely a mechanical version of "Rocky 1". Rocky started out as a sparring trainer, and Adam was the same; Rocky played black boxing, and Adam was the same; Rocky was good at attrition, and finally gave his opponent a fatal blow, which Adam copied completely; Rocky challenged the world champion and held on to the audience. 1 to 2 (the referee's total score was one punch), Adam repeated history. The only difference is that Rocky and his opponent fell at the same time at the last minute, while Adam and Zeus did not. Then the film embedded the fighting scenes of "Million Dollar Baby", "The Fighter", "Iron Fist Man" and so on in the specific details. Improved packaging, improved taste, in exchange for a different experience. The master of the boxing series is "Iron Armored Steel Fist".
In fact, the audio-visual shock that mechanical fighting itself can bring to people is extraordinary, and the film even instills the idea of the audience: this kind of competition with robots instead of real boxing will evolve into reality in the future. In this way, the "sci-fi" nature of the film is transformed into "reality", not to mention children, even adults will fantasize that they can practice everything in the film in the future. The pure audio-visual feast, combined with the ecstasy of thinking, the pleasure produced by the two-pronged approach can definitely make people shout out. Looking back, this was my second best spiritual experience in theaters this year, the first being Fast and Furious 5. Hugh Jackman, "Uncle Wolverine", is commendable for his performance in the film, interpreting a rogue and extremely irresponsible father in a lovely way. But the son, played by Dakota Gaoyou, completely ignores the father and tries his best to steal the show. Almost everywhere, he is the focal point except for Adam. Director Bingxue is smart, attaches a lot of lines to him, and can even interpret the episode of grabbing the microphone after victory. Xiao Zhengtai is like a long-standing emperor superstar, and he has not shyly set off an emotional upsurge of the audience. This undoubtedly became the peak of the thrill of the whole film. "Iron Armored Steel Fist" without this little Zhengtai can only be regarded as passing at most; with Xiao Zhengtai, it is not an exaggeration to call it "a masterpiece". Dakota Gaoyou has a match with the little loli Hailee Steinfeld in the Coen Brothers' version of "Thunderbolt", and is optimistic about their career lines. In addition, Evangeline Lily, the heroine of the American TV series "Lost", is not easy to get out of the TV series. Although it is a vase, it is a good start.
The setting of the concept of robots in "Iron Armored Steel Fist" is relatively vague, and it is probably difficult to make a more specific description. For example, whether there are specific requirements for the production materials of robots, a punch of aviation materials and a punch of ordinary steel materials, I don’t think they are the same; for example, there is no limit to the weight of robots, which is directly related to the defense system. ; For another example, it is a special case that the robot is out of power, whether it can be replaced. The ending of the film also takes advantage of this weakness. The unfortunate inference that Adam was able to win the lottery was because of Zeus's temporary power failure. After all, when a robot is beaten, it is the system and materials that are tested, not the physical pain suffered by a real person. From this point of view, the competitive spirit embodied by robot fighting is still human itself from beginning to end. Hugh Jackman's last effort is in line with what the film wants to express. "Iron Armored Steel Fist" undoubtedly provides a textbook-level model for future Hollywood special effects blockbusters: a flesh-and-blood story is a necessary foundation, special effects are an indispensable decoration, and warmth, inspiration, and pleasure are the most superficial packaging. A good film and a bad film are sometimes only one step away.
