Score: 18079
Genre: Sci-fi, Horror
Release date: 2021-5-28
Number of broadcast areas: 80
Film evaluation: This film is the second part of the series, still produced by the original team, the plot continues the previous one, and also introduces the origin of the disaster in the story. The film's investment reached $61 million, which is much higher than the first one's 17 million, but the special effects and plot have not improved much, nothing more than a few small monsters. But the film is still excellent at the box office, its global box office reached $297 million, is still full of pots, so the money-making film naturally has to arrange a sequel, and producer Paramount has set the third film to be released in March 2023.
Ninth Place: "Wrath of Man"
Score: 19825
Type: Action
Release date: 2021-5-7
Number of broadcast regions: 40
Film evaluation: "The Fury of Man" starred Jason Statham, who is very familiar to Chinese audiences, and the director is Madonna's ex-husband Guy Richie, Guy Richie is still very good at this kind of crime theme action movie, before he has filmed "Kidnapping and Robbery", "Gentleman", "Two Big Smoking Guns" and other similar works, this time the theme of "Human Fury" is more serious, there is no black humor and the plot that goes around in the previous movies, it is a word - fight, do not obey, the action scenes in the film are quite OK, Basically in line with Statham's previous low-budget action film routine, but this plot is a bit ridiculous, let a gangster boss go undercover, and hit so many guns still alive and jumping, this script is a bit sorry for Guy Richie's name.
Statham played undercover this time
However, the ranking of the film is still very good, it is only broadcast in 40 countries and regions, which is the least in the list, and it can still rank 9th, I really don't know why foreign audiences like this ordinary action movie so much.
8th Place: "The Little Things"
Score: 20439
Genre: Drama
Release date: 2021-1-29
Number of broadcast regions: 68
Film evaluation: Before the release of "Clues", I felt that this film was going to the Oscars, after all, the film had three movie emperors, Denzel Washington, Rami Marek and Jared Leto, and the director was John Lee Hancock, who had directed "The Blind Side", but after watching this film, I found that I was seriously deceived. The front of the film with a case to attract people, and then many viewers are estimated to be like me waiting for the big reversal behind, the result of the film at the end with a memory on the hasty end, there is no climax to speak of, such a mediocre plot, can you use three Oscar movie emperors to play?
Two movie emperors
Just look for me to act, I don't want millions of film remuneration, as long as two boxes of box lunches are OK. The box office of the film is also very miserable, the global box office is only 29.84 million, even the cost of 30 million has not been recovered, and I do not know how this film was originally established.
Seventh Place: Mortal Kombat
Score: 23040
Genre: Sci-fi, Action
Release date: 2021-4-23
Number of broadcast regions: 76
Liu Kang and the Empty Guy
Film evaluation: Many people mention "Mortal Kombat", and a word will immediately pop up in their minds - a bad film. I have to admit that the film is indeed very bad, not only the plot is crotch, but also the actor's role also has problems, such as letting Sanada Hiroyuki play the scorpion, not to mention Sanada Hiroyuki's small body, on his 60-year-old "advanced age", doomed to shoot a few, and the film also plans to make several sequels, directly hehe. And the male protagonist is a fictional character, there is no such role in the original game, as the most handsome person in the whole film, he is actually a cripple in martial arts, thanks to you or a sanda; and the most core Liu Kang in the game, in the film, is actually playing soy sauce, the role is not as much as in the animation; Lord Raiden is so handsome in the game, the result is that the film is a fat man, is your face swollen?
The special effects are really good
Although the film has a lot of slots, but the fight and special effects are a highlight, otherwise there would not be so many viewers, and the positioning R-rated, all kinds of hi, this is also one of the few places that can restore the game. I hope that the sequel can polish the plot more, and find a few actors with high martial arts by the way.
6th Place: Monster Hunter
Score: 23247
Genre: Sci-fi
Release date: 2020-12-18
Number of broadcast areas: 84
Film evaluation: When you see that the director is Paul Anderson and the lead actor is Mira Jovovich, don't think that this film is 100% bad. This couple has never made a good film together, they have scourgeed "Resident Evil", and now they have come to waste "Monster Hunter", the whole movie is almost without logic, all supported by special effects, the heroine can live to the end, not how strong her own strength is, but her husband is the director of the film, but also one of the screenwriters, so the author is very undiagnosed for the film.
5th Place: Fast & Furious 9 (F9)
Score: 25219
Release date: 2021-6-25
Number of broadcast areas: 82
Film evaluation: The action scenes of "Fast and Furious 9" really don't have to say, a lot of cars rampage is fun, burning goose This car is driving and driving to the sky, I mean really the kind of heaven. The two bikers, driving their own modified cars, wearing tattered spacesuits (the kind that wrapped a few times in plastic tape), are just like that, and they have completed their missions in space and can return safely... You guys are too easy to heaven, you know that the Amazon boss Bezos spent tens of millions of dollars, and trained for a few months, before it was difficult to go to space to hang out, the wall crack suggested that NASA recruit these two goods, absolute talent.
Fourth place: Zack Snyder's Justice League
Score: 27095
Release date: 2021-3-18
Number of broadcast areas: 70
Film evaluation: "Zach Schneider's version of justice league" (hereinafter referred to as za's version of "Justice League") is definitely one of the best science fiction films of 2021, the film is based on the original theatrical version of "Justice League", but it uses any shots of the theater version of director Jos Whedon, but it is completely remade by Schneider, a total of 150 minutes, which also makes the za director version of "Justice League" 242 minutes long, becoming one of the longest films in 2021.
This scene is a classic
The film's post-production investment reached $70 million, plus the original theatrical version of $300 million, making the total investment of the film reached $370 million, which is also the most expensive DC film in Warner's history. After the broadcast of the Za director version of "Justice League", the word of mouth is also bursting, the Douban score reached 8.2, and the previous one was only 6.4, so it is normal for such an excellent movie to rank 4th on this list, because it is broadcast for free on HBO Max, which is bound to affect the ranking on iTunes, otherwise it is estimated to be the first.
Third place: Godzilla vs. King Kong Kong）
Score: 28645
Release date: 2021-3-31
Number of broadcast areas: 77
Movie Review: Godzilla and King Kong are two "small" monsters with strong strength and high popularity, before they both had their own independent films, this time it is the second time they have performed on the same stage (there is also an old version in 1962, the special effects are slightly lower). To let the two of them fight on the screen, the cost is naturally expensive, Warner and Legendary Pictures invested 200 million US dollars in the film, making the film one of the best special effects films in 2021, and the film's Rotten Tomatoes index also reached 75%, which is very good in the "King Kong" and "Godzilla" series, so the film can rank 3rd on iTunes, which is also a manifestation of comprehensive strength.
Second Prize: Wonder Woman 1984
Score: 38571
Release date: 2020-12-25
Film evaluation: "Wonder Woman 1984" can enter the list is not surprising at all, but it is indeed very surprising to be able to rank 2nd. "Wonder Woman 1984" is still produced by the original team, Gayle Gadot and Chris Pine are the female protagonists and male protagonists respectively, and the director is Patti Jenkins, and the investment of the film has reached 200 million US dollars. Compared with the first 150 million is much higher, but the plot and special effects are not much improved, it basically revolves around the magic stone, and the whole story does not seem to have much impact on the Wonder Woman series and the Justice League, it feels like a completely independent movie, to put it bluntly, this film has no impact on whether it is filmed or not.
I have big long legs
Mantra lasso
And the proud special effects of the first part, in the second part also dropped several grades, the whole movie almost did not have a few decent fight scenes, in addition to the end of the film I wore a golden suit, and the leopard woman staged a "full of golden armor", the film does not have any climax to speak of, I really do not know how this film spent 200 million US dollars, and do not know how this film ranked 2nd on the list, is everyone going to see my two meters of long legs?
1st Prize: Tenet
Score: 48437
Release date: 2020-8-22
Number of broadcast areas: 86
Film evaluation: It is estimated that sei can not imagine that the first place on this list is actually the "Creed" released in August 2020, and the excellent movies in 2021 are still more hin, and the swelling will let a 2020 movie steal the championship? After thinking about it, there may be the following four reasons. The first is the "Creed" big names gathered, after all, there is a big director like Nolan, as well as David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki and other big stars blessing, and it is said that the total investment of the film reached 300 million US dollars (200 million production + 100 million publicity), so many high-quality resources piled together, you do not have a little attention that is impossible to drip; the second is that the plot of the film is too brain-burning, more suitable for savoring at home, the film adheres to Nolan's consistent brain-burning style, before "Inception" played a dream sneak, This time it is quantum physics, the so-called "indecisive, quantum mechanics, explanation does not work, through time and space", "Creed" is the quantum physics and through time and space are occupied, multiple timelines of the intricate interaction, so that many viewers are a little confused, so through VOD on demand (Video on Demand), it may be easier to watch the film quietly at home;
Nolan on set
The third is that when the film was released in theaters at the time, because many theaters were not open, so the box office was not ideal, Warner increased the publicity of DVDs and VODs this time, which is to make up for the loss, after all, selling DVDs is Warner's traditional skill; the fourth is that the heroine of the film, Elizabeth Debicki, really has 2 meters long legs, if gail Gadot's 2-meter long legs with a height of 175 have exaggerated components, then Debitzki, who is 190 tall, is a real 2-meter long leg. She is taller than the two lead actors of this film, David Washington and Robert Pattinson, and wearing high heels is definitely the "commanding height" of this film, and the otaku like to watch big legs, so they all spend money to watch "Creed", you say I am right.
