Halfway through 2022, many film works have already met with you.
Today, Tomato Jun takes the Douban score as an objective standard to take stock of the top ten bad films in the first half of this year.
In order of ranking, let's start with the tenth part:
10, "Zhang Sanfeng" Douban 4.3 points
In fact, from the perspective of Cass alone, "Zhang Sanfeng" is still attractive enough.
Although Liu Yan is not a popular actress, she has a very brilliant performance in the hot drama "Dream Hualu", and the audience evaluation is very high, and the audience is also good.
Wu Fan is not a popular kung fu movie star, but there have also been popular TV series such as "Lian Cheng Tips".
However, at the moment when the Internet is prevalent, all the actors who once had brilliant works seem to be "distorted".
Although the film is called "Zhang Sanfeng", it is actually far from the Zhang Sanfeng we see in martial arts novels, but it is just a borrowing of Zhang Zhenren's shell.
Wu Fan in the film, not only does not have the youthful heroism of the year, but even the appearance is a little greasy, and he also opens two sentences of "edge talk" at every turn, and the martial arts action is only point to the end.
Liu Yan also basically plays the role of a "vase", and every time she appears, she always wears a cool costume that does not look like ancient times.
Coupled with this oversized caterpillar with five-hair special effects, "Zhang Sanfeng" has firmly established the name of fighting martial arts, the name and label when doing fantasy.
The cumulative score of 29.64 million is the result of "Zhang Sanfeng", but the score of 4.3 also hit the face of the two stars.
9, "Green Snake: Leading Edge" Douban 4.2 points
After the 2.7-point "Fengshen: Daiji" in 2021, Gillian "contributed" a 4.2-point "Green Snake: Frontier" in the first half of 2022.
"Green Snake: Frontier" still continues the configuration tradition of the well-known IP + past stars of the Internet University, and this movie is obviously rubbing the IP of "Green Snake".
And Ah Jiao, who plays the green snake, is inevitably compared with Xu Ke's version.
Although Ajiao's appearance is still there, it is a pity that her figure is a bit out of shape, she has not played the main role for so many years, and there is still room for improvement in lines and performances.
Although there are several scenes in the film that remind people of the 41-year-old actress's past amazing years, most of the shots are still waste shots with only description and no content, which is of no benefit to the narrative and occupies a long time in the film.
"Green Snake: Frontier" is a "magic reform" story, which is about the love of the green snake in its previous life.
However, this love is too old-fashioned, so old-fashioned that it can be used in any mythical shell, and it can be independently written.
This also makes this movie, in addition to the name "Gillian", a large assembly line network without nutrition.
Judging from "Sister Lang 3", whether it is Gillian or Asa, it is still very popular with the audience.
In fact, Tomato Jun is very fond of Ajiao, and she also hopes that her acting career can usher in the second spring or even the third spring.
But if you have been soaking in the net big bad film as the heroine, it is obviously not the right way.
I also hope that Gillian will cheer up, make good films, hone her acting skills, and bring us better works.
The cumulative account of "Green Snake: Frontier" is only 7.92 million, which is far lower than expected, which also shows that there is no good story of Gillian, and the ability to absorb gold continues to decline.
8. "Tattoo: Western Vertical" Douban 3.9 points
In this "Tattoo", the one who carries the handle is Zhao Wenzhuo, who once fought jet Li.
Over the years, it is rare to see Zhao Wenzhuo's figure, I did not expect that this year, he can have a large work of the Internet, but unfortunately, in terms of quality, this work is very disappointing.
This movie was made 5 years ago, I don't know why it took so long to release, from the line to the line a total of 40 days, only 1.86 million box office, can be described as dismal.
Although Ah Chang, played by Zhao Wenzhuo, lives in the Republic of China, he is dressed in a western cowboy-style outfit, which is still dramatic.
Especially in these years, "bubble noodle heads" have become popular, and the shapes in any movie always have bubble noodle heads to stir up trouble, ruining countless images that should be classics.
The story of "Tattoo" is also very old-fashioned, the reason why it is called this name is because the protagonist is a tattoo artist, he is involved in gang disputes, both to protect his daughter and to protect the controversy, both to experience being sentenced and to be in a desperate situation, it is too tragic.
Of course, there must be an ambiguous emotion as a standard. There are even large-scale shots in the film that pay tribute to Jiang Wen, and the scalp of Tomato Jun is numb.
Nowadays, the mainland film market lacks mature stars, and if Zhao Wenzhuo is high enough for himself, he will be able to make better action movies.
His upper limit is far more than just shooting such a net.
7. "Heavy X-Men" Douban 3.8 points
Before the rise of China's big online movies, Wang Jing was the most fierce critic of the internet, but he did not expect that he is now one of the most prolific online film directors in the mainland.
During the Spring Festival, the two "Dragon Slayers in the Heavens" that we are familiar with are the sequels that Wang Jing gathered many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars together to shoot for "The Demon Sect Lord", and this "Heavy X-Men" is also Wang Jing's handwriting.
Rather than saying that the reloaded X-Men is a complete film story, it is a complete "tribute" to the peak Hong Kong films, because from the beginning to the end, the story routines used in "Reloaded X-Men" are all from the classic Hong Kong films that we are familiar with.
In addition to the insincere gunfights and explosions, the only attraction it may be Chen Xiaochun's joining. However, watching the whole film may also understand Wang Jing's intentions, because Qiu Yinong, the resident crystal girl in this movie, also participated.
The big guy in the movie also seems to show his attitude towards Qiu Yinong, especially this line, which is particularly obvious.
Time has passed, Wang Jing is still that Wang Jing, but his understanding of the movie really has not risen at all.
6, "Polar Pursuit" Douban 3.7 points
Li Zhiting has not had any works out of the circle in recent years, and tomato Jun's last impression is "Kung Fu Yoga".
Who knows, he also fell into the pit of "net big".
Although "Base Pursuit" does not have the label of fantasy and science fiction, it is actually a soft science fiction story. It tells the story of Jin Cheng, the protagonist played by Li Zhiting, who is caught in a game of life and death in order to save his seriously ill daughter.
Compared to other nets, it has a decent fight scene.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of screenwriting ability and the weakness of film investment, although the film is full of imitations of the high concepts of Hollywood movies such as "The Matrix" and "The Hunger Games", the final state is still as inferior as Dong Shiyi.
On the other hand, as a network big, Tomato Jun also suspects that this is purely a matter of the attitude of the main creators.
Because even the special effect of inserting the knife into the body is also very five cents, there is a very obvious sense of dislocation, basically a fake at a glance, and a play at a glance.
Not to mention this blurry special effect that is clearly a green screen cutout.
Obviously, it can be filmed better, but it is not good to shoot, which is a common disease of the Internet University, and it is easy for the audience to doubt the purpose of these movies.
5. "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" Douban 3.5 points
During the Spring Festival, "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" can be described as a gathering of stars.
From Gu Tianle to Zhen Zidan, from Lin Feng to Wen Yongshan, Wang Jing seemed to be riveted enough to fill the pit of his "Demon Sect Leader", but he did not expect that the effect of the shooting was so different.
Three peerless beauties, in addition to Wen Yongshan's Zhao Min can be seen, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao have very obvious artificial traces, making people play.
Other casting and settings, I really dare not compliment.
Zhen Zidan, who is very angry, put on a white beard to play Zhang Sanfeng; Gu Tianle and Lin Feng play Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji father and son, in addition to the same bubble noodle head, they are only 9 years apart.
The audience who watched the whole film will find that there are only two people who have a normal shape and performance in the whole film, one is Xie Xun's Golden Retriever King, and the other is Liang Cheng's extermination master.
Although in the name of martial arts action, in fact, there are very few scenes in these two movies that can be called "action".
Not a simple three-headed, six-arm special effect blind comparison;
It is to imitate the magic of the Indian military parade.
The plot of "Nine Yang Divine Gong" is almost a complete reproduction of "Demon Sect Leader", but it also loses the truth and power of "Relying on heaven and slaughtering dragons" to touch people's hearts.
In fact, such a "Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" can be left unmade.
For Tomato Jun, he would rather have regrets in "Demon Sect Lord" than let this story be destroyed in this way.
4, "Grandfather's Creed" Douban 3.4 points
Destroyed in this film is the old drama bone "Ren Dahua".
With such a strong actor starring, better than 0% of the crime films, for Ren Dahua is really late, and Tomato Jun did not expect it.
The film still adheres to the routine creative mode, telling the story of Ren Dahua, who has been sitting in prison for 25 years, after being released from prison, protects his wife and daughter from the harm of the dark forces, and fights with him.
Unlike other networks, this "Grandfather's Creed" is a dragon label, which means that it can also choose to be released on the screen.
As for why the platform was finally launched, it is estimated that the creators themselves have a number.
In "Grandfather's Creed", we can still see the familiar face: the new generation of crystal girl Qiu Yinong.
It's just a pity that the refinement of the stills can't replace the lack of her acting skills in the film.
Zhang Lanxin should also be familiar to everyone, she has cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Zodiac" and "Jedi Escape", this time playing Ren Dahua's long-lost daughter.
The film lacks basic shooting common sense, combined with a lot of first-person and shaky shots, the look and feel is very wonderful.
What makes everyone even more angry is that Wu Zhenyu, who was supposed to participate in the publicity, has also disappeared.
This "Grandfather's Creed" was eventually watched by 4 million people and grossed 7.89 million. This achievement is true in the net university.
Finally, Tomato Jun sighed: Fortunately, it is not on the theater line.
3, "Ring Line" Douban 3.2
The main actor in "Circle Line" is still Chen Xiaochun.
Looking at the pheasant brother who once played a role in "Ancient Puzzle Boy", now wearing a suit and saying that "smoking is harmful to health", it is really lamentable.
If you look at it genre-wise, Loopline is supposed to be an adventure thriller, but it also contains fantasy elements, telling the story of a group of subway passengers who encounter a flying centipede in a bizarre accident and wrestle with it.
"Loop" has two shortcomings that most of the nets have.
One is the performances that dare not be flattered and the shoddy special effects.
The big centipede inside is always the dragon who sees the beginning and the end, even if the whole appears in the shot, it is not scary at all.
The film itself does not create an immersive horror atmosphere, neither scary, nor is the centipede fake, what do you say the audience is looking at?
The second is the ubiquitous edge rubbing.
Probably because the subway passengers are diverse, the creator can be crammed into a variety of costumed characters.
For example: girls in yoga pants and sportswear, such as the girls of Wonder Woman at COS.
This makes the audience very contradictory, while watching this huge arthropod dance its teeth and claws, while watching the girls go offline one by one.
Beauty and centipedes, it seems that only one can be chosen.
Fortunately, this "Loop" may be self-aware, and the set is only 69 minutes long, so that the paid audience will not be tortured for too long.
The final ledger is less than 5 million, compared to its quality, it is already very good.
2, "Don't Forget I Love You" Douban 3.1
Naza's new film, the finale of the Valentine's Day schedule, a theatrical love movie can be made lower than the score of the net, and Tomato Jun is admired.
In comparison with other love movies, the film both hung 0, reflecting the audience's deep dissatisfaction with the film.
Love is a deep and ancient human emotion, but in this movie, there is no respect for "love".
This film borrows the setting of the time loop, the male and female protagonists wake up every day, they will forget everything that was once, and the two become strangers from the beginning.
But that doesn't stop them from kissing their mouths, wall bangs, and...
Naza's acting skills have taken a big step back in this film, not only the lines are blunt, but even the proud face is dissolved by the wide-eyed beads.
The whole film is filled with a kind of "small times" like a disease-free groan, that kind of self-touching emotional catharsis, making love cheap.
To tell the truth, the final box office can get 56 million, is stained with the light of Valentine's Day.
The film, titled "Don't Forget I Love You," also completely cured the "problem" that some couples liked to make about the movie on 2.14.
1, "Ten years of a pint of warm as words" Douban 2.8
The second general of the Valentine's Day slot, Tomato Junyou remembers that when he just finished watching this movie, under the constant spit of netizens, its Douban score was as low as 2.7, and now it has risen back to 0.1 points, I am afraid that it benefits from the tolerance of the audience.
"Ten Years" from youth to love, tells the whole decade, the male and female protagonists have been constantly sorted out and chaotic, and the emotional entanglement of self-touching life is better than death.
Originally, this was nothing, and what disgusted the audience was that this film was almost a collection of dog blood, what cancer, bitterness, and obvious two sentences can explain the cheap self-touching that must be engaged in ten years, and the emotional entanglement that is nothing compared to real life.
The movie reveals two words everywhere: "temperament", even the plot description, there is also a smell of Guo Jingming's youth pain literature, I don't believe you can see this sentence:
What loess white bone... If you look at it and think it's a horror movie, you don't have to.
In addition, the shooting method of "Ten Years" is also very simple, full of unnecessary highlights and various headless and brainless large close-ups, which make people's eyes numb.
On this shot, if you don't know, think it's a stud advertisement.
Domestic romance films have been filmed for so many years, I did not expect to go back to the road, and the work was filmed like this, which is really incomprehensible.
Well, the top ten bad movies in the first half of 2022, Tomato Jun will take stock of this for everyone.
After taking stock of these ten low-scoring films in the first half of the year, you may be able to find clues from them:
In the cinema films, domestic romance films have surpassed horror films and become the hardest hit areas of bad films, and their ratings are even lower than many networks, and the two romance films in this year's Valentine's Day slot bear the brunt of it.
In the network movie, the past star who shows off his feelings + the story template that has been played badly has become a tried-and-true production method of the bad film network. In almost every film, we can see the shadows of once familiar movie stars, who consume their popularity and popularity, and play the last remnants on the small screen.
It is not that the net is not unable to make a good product, and the size of the screen should not be the reason for determining the quality of the film. This is also the real purpose of Tomato Jun's inventory of bad films: I hope that more filmmakers will learn their lessons and make truly sincere works.
The second half of the year has begun, and there are many new films in the first half of the year that have not been released in time, and they may be able to meet us.
Let's wait and see!
