Plot and characterization collapse

Rebeka 2022-04-22 07:01:04

First, the entire storyline seems illogical, and the narrative technique is simple and without connotation. After watching the whole movie, it makes people feel embarrassed. It feels that the director and screenwriter are forcing the audience to know what love is.

Second, the characterization is a failure. The first is the villain. A big villain who has experienced a family with weak favors has been severely lowered IQ. No matter from the way he speaks to the way he acts, he is like a pissed off child. For example, my father looked down on me and killed him. My brother despised me and killed him. ? ? what? This is not called evil, this is called ignorant anger of a child. The prerequisite for an adult to kill his family is that his family is a group of perverted sadists who have abused him since he was a child, making him hateful, but these are obviously No, his family just felt that it was too cowardly to do things and the way of education was wrong, and as a result, they were brutally killed. At the same time, the villain's childishness is not only reflected in the relationship between the characters, but also in the battle with the child Shazam. During the battle between the two, Shazam has been talking about the doctor, and the result has also been affected? ? Very unsuccessful villain. And the so-called decent hero Shazam... is also powerless to complain, such children are all over the street, and they even say that you are the purest and most suitable to have power in the world (the wizard said when he gave the protagonist power that he was blind a long, long time ago But looking at the whole movie, the audience can't see any difference between this stupid protagonist and other children, only destroying public property, causing trouble, mischievous, ignorant and self-willed, this is every All children are good, many children are better and purer than the protagonist. In a word, watching this movie is purely for special effects, the other words are just two words, spicy chicken

    Children's science fiction film. The two children have a good chemical reaction, their eyes are so big and scary~~~~~~

    Watched in foreign countries, it was released a day earlier than in China. The film's tempo is too slow, the first 70 minutes dragged. Although the plot of the sand sculpture was predicted through the preview, the plot of the sand sculpture occupies most of the time and it is very uncomfortable to watch. The few laughs in the movie are not particularly funny. The plot design is low-age, suitable for watching under 12 years old, and it is extremely incompatible with the current dark system of the DC universe. There are no amazing shots in the whole movie, and it lacks the essence of superhero movies. This may be the worst super hero pilot film I have ever seen. Is the person who gives high marks sincere?
