In 2020, the film has been in a downturn, and "The Great Illusionist" has received widespread attention after its release, and the following film reviews are made from three aspects: actors, plots, and special effects.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > actor</h1>
Qian Xiaohao: He became popular with "Mr. Zombie" starring Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying, and then cooperated with Lin Zhengying in a number of zombie films, including "One Eyebrow Daoren", "New Mr. Zombie" and "Zombie Supreme". In this film, he plays Robin, a magician who has returned from overseas, and is also the fire gate of the five magic doors. Both his appearance and acting skills are in line with the settings in the film.
Sun Feixiang, Guan Xiangyun: The same is a young actor after the 90s, the works are not much, in the film as the police hip-hop duo Long Cong and Xiao Liu, as a funny person, not only poor case handling ability, but also made a lot of jokes. Of course, in detective movies with comedic overtones, such roles are indispensable, making the tense atmosphere more relaxed.
Pan Yanfei: The exquisite facial features and the proud figure are enough to attract attention in themselves. Ten years after her debut, she has always been a supporting role, which seems to give people the feeling of a vase. Playing the biggest villain in this film, Michiko, also contributed her good expressiveness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > plot</h1>
The wonton seller drowned in the street, the Ye family of the medical center all drowned, and the suspicious thing is that it did not rain that day. The incident attracted the attention of the police, and the director invited the magician Robin to investigate the case, and after the autopsy and the investigation of the scene, it was determined that it was the water gate of the five magic doors in order to gather the five doors to find the treasure. When it is discovered that the next target of Watergate is the Golden Gate, the crowd goes to investigate, but falls into a trap and Robin is injured. The crowd retreated to the police station to hide, but Michiko Michiko Watergate went to the police station alone for the sake of the fire gate keepsake, and was eventually killed by a grenade.
At the beginning of this film, we already know the reason for the matter, there is no suspense, although it is a detective, it cannot be called a suspense film, it is just a fantasy. It is precisely because it is a fantasy film, no longer presented in the form of ghosts, and it is still relatively new in terms of theme. The storyline is also relatively simple, but the plot is compact and does not drag.
The most incomprehensible thing is that Michiko, as the biggest villain, was slapped and injured by Robin, who was seriously wounded by a shot, while in kinmen, and also lost a subordinate. During the battle at the police station, he stood there and was sprayed by the fire dragon, blinded, and finally killed by the grenade thrown by the male second dragon Cong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > effect</h1>
Overall, the scene layout is colorful and gives people a pleasing feeling, while in the illusion, it is a eerie and terrifying atmosphere, giving people a sense of tension and excitement.
In the special effects section, the biggest highlight is the tiger and the fire dragon at the end, and this special effect is definitely not something that Wumao can do. But the tigers and dragons that took so much effort to make them did not play much of a role. The tiger didn't attack much, and the dragon just came out and wandered around, spraying fire to blind Michiko, and finally died with the tiger.
In addition, this film has a lot of shadows of Lin Zhengying's "Exorcist Police". The decent group is all three men and one woman, a serious protagonist with two hip-hop police officers and a girl who is not enough; the villains are all beautiful women, and even have the same name, called Michiko, and similarly, there are two subordinates, one of whom was personally punished by Michiko for doing a bad job.
The success of a film is not determined by the actors alone, but by many factors such as the director, the script, and the actors. Therefore, the success or failure of "The Great Illusionist" is not something that Qian Xiaohao alone can influence.
At present, the results of "The Great Illusionist" are not bad, although the Douban score is not high, but the network box office revenue and the number of moviegoers are relatively high.
