The translation of the title "Battle of the Gods" seems very irresponsible but still has Chinese characteristics as always, but after watching it, I found that this movie really only tells a story of the battle of the gods - a commercial film of this era. , there are very few works that are purely storytelling without revelation, deep emotion, or representative characters. Since it is a remade version of a well-known myth story, even if new characters are added and new characters and relationships are injected into the original characters, the whole film still does not have any suspense points of ups and downs, and the story itself is actually the past. Yes, after all, the adventure story of rushing to the level and fighting the boss will never be outdated, so that when Perseus and his party were about to enter the underworld, I excitedly said to my friends, I am so nervous, I have to enter the next level!
In terms of character settings, it has been more or less stereotyped by the images of magical themes in the past 10 years, so there are not many surprises in the images of gods, people, and beasts that appear in the movie. In addition to being very principled, Perseus is very principled. It is difficult to find the special characters of the characters outside. The words and deeds of the guards and hunters replicate the gold diggers in "Jurassic Park 2", and the working life and escape scenes of the people in the castle almost replicate the plot of "The Lord of the Rings" , and the lineup of the team going to save mankind is almost the medieval version of "Saving Private Ryan", the most joyous is the scene of the gods in heaven, I should not think of the classic "Journey to the West" very reasonably, The only bright spots are those giant scorpions, but unfortunately, we have already seen the part where everyone fights with giant scorpions in "Starship Troopers". As for the last ultimate sea monster, we have already seen it. Last year, I saw the useless Big Mac in "Transformers 2".
In terms of actors, Sam, another lone hero who has risen in the past year, once again played the role of saving the whole situation by himself. I personally think that Sam's role as Perseus is a benefit for his training and frequent appearances. In terms of aspects, it is not as flesh-and-blood as in "Terminator 2018" and "Avatar". The director's description of the pressure from both humans and gods he bears is shallow, because as long as he commits a crime, whether it is a human or a god, it is a choice. In order to evade and do not stop, this weakens the character of such a character with a great selection angle to a certain extent. Another notable actor is Liam Neeson, who played Zeus. The actor who played in such acclaimed films as Schindler's List and Love Actually lost his love just before taking over. When playing the positive role of Zeus, he lost some domineering, but often made irrational actions "full of tears"-even if he resurrected his lover for his son at the end.
This is a work whose topics and meanings outside the film are far greater than the content of the film itself. The significance of literacy in ancient Greek mythology is even greater than its commercial value. Moreover, like "Alice in Wonderland", "Clash of the Gods" It is also a 3D film that is completely "3D". In the post-Avatar commercial film wave, unfortunately it once again became cannon fodder, but no matter what, this is a good story about a promising young man's adventure.
