How famous Zhang Yimou is, how bad "The Great Wall" is!
In addition to the dazzling star lineup: Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, William Dafu, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Xinxin, Zheng Kai, Huang Xuan, Chen Xuedong, Wang Junkai... You know, these people can pick up a film solo, and together, it has become the most luxurious "bad film" in the history of Chinese cinema! As for the plot, it is extremely "Hollywood": during the Song Dynasty, the European mercenary Garin discovered a terrible predatory monster while imprisoning the Great Wall, besieging the city. So he decided to join an army of elite warriors to fight the story of the monster gluttony! In the film, if the director does not stop, the two heroes and heroines of China and the West can also burst out a relationship scene, full of Hollywood fast food style. However, it is not in the middle, the ocean is not foreign, and the castle named The Great Wall has only become a background platform!
Judging from the many film reviews that followed: the film characters are meaningless, the narrative is also very boring, and even the vision and sound, after watching for a while, began to numb and feel exaggerated. "Beijing Times" believes that visually, Zhang Yimou is still the colorful impression of the Great Wall and the set of team exercises at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games (human sea tactics, panoramic vision, majestic Chinese landscape, Qin cavity, big drum, big red and green saturated color system), which belongs to the aesthetic overdraft, and there is no new investment!
Therefore, due to the star effect of the film in the mainland, the box office is OK. However, in Europe and the United States, it is very general, and it has not met the expectations of investors at all, thus confirming "a failure of the invasion of American film culture" - media language.
Anyway, when the author watched, it was a happy and disappointing return, and some scenes were even more embarrassing and bloody, which can really be described as a lively but chicken feather "disaster drama".
