Let's first look at the douban scores of the first and second parts of "Bomb Disposal Unit"
The first part is 6.2 points; the second part is 7.8 points, so where is the 1.6 points of "Bomb Disposal Unit 2"?
1. Plot: Reversal in reverse
Recall "Bomb Disposal 1", a typical Hong Kong film, the confrontation between the police and the bad guys, there is love, there are sacrifices, and in the end, the police win, relatively traditional story.
Looking at "Bomb Disposal 2", if the traditional conventional view, it will be Pan Chengfeng who broke his leg, with his own efforts, became the first disabled bomb disposal expert, and finally met the big boss, in the case of lovers and dead parties being threatened, with one leg, successfully defused the bomb.
But it's reversed, very reversed! After Pan Chengfeng broke his leg, he did not succeed in resuming his post, his temperament changed greatly, he turned into a terrorist, and then, he reversed again! He lost his memory during one of his own terrorist attacks, and his ex-girlfriend of the police reversed his memory and turned into an undercover to dismantle his "own" terrorist attack, and in the end, he changed back to the previous Pan Chengfeng, sacrificed himself to atone for his sins, and lifted the Hong Kong crisis.
This reversal of the plot is still quite unexpected, the police-terrorist-undercover, true and false, false and true.
2. Special effects:
Compared with the first one, the terrorists of "Bomb Disposal 2" are aimed at destruction, so the scenes of the whole movie are larger and the special effects are more magnificent, and I believe that it will feel more cool to watch in the cinema.
However, I personally feel that the special effects are a bit fake, and the 5 minutes of the train explosion at the beginning are really like 3D animations. In this regard, I think we have been in a backward stage, just like our disaster films have not been as good as Europe, the United States and South Korea, lacking a sense of reality.
3. Actor
The first starring is Andy Lau, Jiang Wu, Song Jia; the second is Andy Lau, Liu Qingyun, Ni Ni, I like it, in my heart, are acting school, other supporting roles are not impressed, compared to the first can remember some people, the second part of the feeling is 3 people home, even the big boss is just running dragon set.
If I score, I will score about 7 points, although the actor is very good, the plot reversal, but it is still quite pompous, for the plot reversal, the character is set to be disabled, the personality changes, amnesia, but in the end he can become a good policeman, become a terrorist in the middle, set the "resurrection birthday" in the area, the plot development is too fast. Many people say that they cried in the theater after watching it, maybe this is not my crying point, I still watched it at double speed, or prefer the previous Hong Kong films, "Infernal Affairs" is a god-like work, I hope that whether it is a Hong Kong movie or a TV series, it can restore the feeling of the past.
The above is a personal perception of the aftermath, do not like to spray.
