First of all, because the script is Greek mythology, all the plots I have predicted, except for the final ending, have been slightly modified. Greek mythology was originally like an incestuous family tree, and this story and the demigods such as Hercules were the story of communication between the human and the gods. Since everyone knows the story, the atmosphere is very important. But the sudden discharge of big scorpions and deserts make people mistakenly think that they are watching Transformers II and the return of the mummy. Zeus flashed white light all over, Pluto flashed black light and flying monsters all over, making people look too simple, too naïve. And the battle of the gods seems to only see the struggle between the bastard and the uncle, and the other gods are just decorations, without any mention. The final battle also ended hastily, not as wonderful as Godzilla. The only thing that can be praised is the performance of the underworld and the link to kill the snake-headed female monster. The addition of 3D makes the scene more realistic, but the rough production of individual links is also exposed. For example, the snake body of the female monster and the last troll all have obvious flaws. Thus, the fairyland and artistic conception will be completely eliminated.
Looking at the 81 version of the film again, this film obviously has traces of wanting to surpass but unable to surpass. The robot owl in version 81 is an important passing role, and it also adjusts some of the atmosphere in the kill. In the new version, the owl was directly thrown away, shouted "what the hell" (what the hell), and switched to two 250-like gag hunters to adjust the atmosphere. In the original book and the movie, Perseus finally married the princess and became a wise ruler, like a fairy tale Happy ever after. But in the new version, in order to express the so-called democratic and independent ideas, Perseus did let Perseus give up the princess and be a mortal. As a result, the old man couldn't see it, and he resurrected the other half-immortal, letting the two wander around the world. I wonder if this is talking about the second generation of rich? Laozi has power and power, and his son can have whatever he wants, and a dead girl can come back to life. Compared with the theme of abandoning human life and returning to nature in "Avatar", it is not the same grade. The poor adaptation, the poor American theme - liberal democracy, deified and ruined a beautiful tradition. I now understand why Europeans are crying when they watch Pete's Troy, Americans are really illiterate.
Finally, let's talk about the actors. It seems that the distributor of this film is also self-aware that it is not enough. Even the promotional poster also says that the starring "Avatar" will appear in the 3D blockbuster again. I want to borrow money from the fire of Avatar. It is a pity that actors, as part of a film, play less and less role in the film. The successful actors of Avatar are all accessories, and the protagonist is Cameron's fantasy world. And the protagonist is carrying a bright U.S. Marine Corps hood, with a bitter face and deep hatred, which has nothing to do with deepening, which directly affects the atmosphere of deification. Why are other people and other gods naturally curly big waves, but this one has Qi Qi's short hair? Because he invented the God of War card head-picking knife as a demigod? The leading role has become a major failure of this film, and the other actors are generally more in place, but there is some difference from the 81 version, and the supporting roles are also quite streamlined, not much better than Transformers.
In short, this film is worth watching if it is half worth it, but watch it after watching it, no need to mention it again.
It is recommended to go to youku to search for the old version and review the mythical movies in the CG-free era.
