"Fast and Furious 10" directed by Louis Leterrier, starring Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez, Brie Larson, Jason Statham and others has been in theaters for a while, but word of mouth, quality and box office can only be said to be not too optimistic.
The film was released on Chinese mainland on May 17, 13 days before the publication of this post, but the box office has not exceeded 800 million.
The final predicted box office is less than 900 million, let alone exceed 1 billion. It can be said that the box office of this series has witnessed the extent of Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese market in this decade, and the box office of the first few films is not too high, "Fast and Furious 6" 413 million; "Fast and Furious 7" 2.423 billion.
"Fast and Furious 8" is 2.69 billion yuan, and "Fast and Furious 9" is only 1.392 billion.
Now "Fast and Furious 10" is difficult to break 1 billion, the end of this series is in the trilogy, I predict that "Fast 11" may be around 500 million, "Fast 12" after the first two parts of the foreshadowing, if the quality and reputation are good, coupled with the feeling of the end, the box office may be a little better, but it is difficult to challenge the peak of 2 billion +.
Speaking of returning to Part 10, it was rumored by netizens that it was probably the best work after Part 7. Bo Guangjun delayed watching this Hollywood blockbuster, the evaluation is that although there are many places a little, but the overall first is still a very cool Hollywood entertainment blockbuster, if you go to see this movie with the mentality of complaining and hitting the face of this movie, even the best movie becomes worthless.
The level of technology in the movie "Furious 10" cannot be transferred to reality, so why require that what you think you can't do in reality can't appear in the movie? This is a very contradictory question, as a movie that sets the stage for the plot later, this movie is not bad.
It is for the sake of coolness, feelings to see, and the fragment inserted by Paul is also very moving.
Best after the seventh part, you rate "Fast and Furious 10" a few points
I think the 10th part is really good, and it is indeed stronger than the ninth and eighth parts, it should be the more successful Hollywood commercial blockbusters I have watched in the past six months, and it can be summed up to highlight a pure. The relationship between the characters in this kind of commercial blockbuster is actually not so important, and it does not need to be tightly knitted.
Because there are already 9 works in front, and after 20 years. Although I have seen them all, I believe that except for a very small number of senior fans, who remembers the various character relationships, world view settings, and what foreshadowing and details of the previous 9 works?
The main thing for this kind of film for ordinary audiences is that there is no threshold, and complete new audiences can also watch it, and the reason for this is the excellent disengagement and subtraction.
The literary drama in the film is a total of four, the first is to remember the dead characters, and then to shape the characters, promote the plot, weave the background and just the right sense of humor, the rest is almost all action scenes full of dry goods, the main line and its brief is the confrontation between the two sides, and the content of the first few works is occasionally explained with flashbacks.
The overall look and feel does not have the feeling of a blockbuster of more than two hours, and the pace is very tight, or it is a pure Hollywood commercial blockbuster like the last century. I have to mention Marvel here, and I think this film surpasses the recent "Silver Guard Finale".
Because the latter pays too much attention to the layout of the cinematic universe, and wants to add multiple themes to the group portrait, which is also a common problem in the fourth and fifth stages, as a result, I have a feeling of separation after watching it, the former is very smooth and consistent, I have always thought that what positioning and what to do, then as a commercial genre film to reach the division of the work in my opinion is more divided than the blind attempt to cast a wide net.
Then I have to say that the villain played by Jason Momoa is very interesting, a bit similar to the characters of the vertical saw, the clown, the riddler and the murderer in "The Seven Deadly Sins".
The first and most obvious thing is that they all carry out their sabotage according to the rules of the game, play the protagonist between the palms, and enjoy the process, the appearance of Dante's rougher characters in this film and various exotic dressing words and deeds, and finally reveal the core of its cruelty.
Together, these elements three-dimensional the character, creating an extremely perverted and evil player villain. The design appealed to me, to say the least, and I was curious to know how the protagonist would defeat him (although it didn't).
The second is the problem of the relationship between the villain and the protagonist, Dante lost his family and became a villain, and the protagonist group is precisely because of the family that they still have the belief to persevere in the face of misunderstandings and unclear wrongs, which not only makes the birth of the bad guy have sufficient and necessary motives.
There is also a counterpoint on a single theme, and the simple theme of family and family is no problem in commercial films, compared to the silver protection film, the theme is simplified and the character ratio is more different, and it looks more relaxed, which is the purer mentioned above.
I have always believed that this advantage that belongs to commercial films needs to be retained, and multiple stories with similar themes are layered and divided to create a simple and complex effect, and then the unwanted parts can be eliminated, leaving some understanding points and attractive parts, which is a successful commercial blockbuster.
On the one hand, fans are remembrance, and on the other hand, passers-by scolding? Why the "Quick" series has come to an end
"Fast 10" is really okay, the villain's IQ is online throughout the process, all kinds of backhand, in terms of IQ, execution and planning ability, complete abuse of other villains, almost all the actions of the protagonist team are in the villain's plan, because it is a multi-line narrative, it is easy to feel chaotic.
Some plots require knowledge of the previous game, the most important being the Celestial Eye system and the Anonymous in the fifth and seventh parts. The shock team is to help Donald leave the pursuit of a certain organization. At the same time, the causes and consequences of the film's location change are very clear, and it is much better than the previous ones.
The plot that everyone says is outrageous, referring to some sky-to-earth drag racing bridges, and overall the plot is quite smooth.
Because the literary drama of this film is not so embarrassing, after all, the director is the director of "Shocking Bandits", the literary part does not feel very procrastinating, but the speed of speech and humor are more appropriately controlled, but that's it, probably it is really cool, it seems to be very routine and cool without a very happy feeling.
The reason is probably the rhythm of the finale, which is filmed in two parts. The whole class came, and all the previous ones should have come. The plot mixes all the characters and relationships that were messed up before, and there is a look of Indian cuisine with full taste.
No family hero Sea King IQ online, more bullish than the villains of the previous films, family heroes were tortured fiercely, Armageddon in the next part. The familyless hero Aquaman actually linked the characters of the entire series together and beat himself together. In order to thoroughly implement the family beliefs of the family man, the whole plot unfolds with family as an element.
The problem with this work is that the character creation and world view setting are still too exaggerated, and the audience's perception cannot be returned.
After all, the original intention of this series is street drag racing and undercover drug lord drama, and by the fifth car drag safe, it achieves the perfect balance between visual effects and reasonable plot. Although the seventh part is also exaggerated, it is considered to be over, at this time the crew seems to be corrupted by money, and all elements are going in an outrageous direction.
The characters came back from the dead, and planes, tanks, submarines began to take to the streets; The villain is no longer for money, but for nuclear bomb satellites to rule the world, and Newton's coffin board can no longer be covered.
Just like the 10th part is very good-looking, but it is also suitable for watching again, the action scenes are full of unacceptable phenomena. The two helicopters dragged for a long time but could not drag the two front wheels of the "Groot" car off the ground, were the two front wheels equipped with magnets to attract the "railway"? "Aquaman" When you implemented this plan, didn't you test in advance whether the two helicopters could pull up a car?
The dam is flying, the dam is almost 90 degrees vertical, and your car that flies out can still run against the dam wall for most of the way in the process of falling? Are tires really made of magnets?
"Grudy" forcibly rolled off the line, when the situation was clearly not to the point where it was necessary to die together, and "Gruer" clearly repaired the "vehicle-mounted howitzer"? Can't you just continue to use it to open the middle separation belt to attack the enemy? Do you have to do a "shelling backflip" yourself to martyr the enemy? You directly exploded like this, the last two want to be resurrected, how can you be resurrected?
It's not right, Han was blown up by Guo Da, isn't Gal Gadot also resurrected when he fell into the car?
This kind of outrageous action scene presentation, all kinds of distorted character motivations and world view settings, really make the audience a little tired. I feel that at the beginning of Part 7, the crew is insulting the audience's intelligence and feeding me greasy junk food to make money. This feeling doesn't mind if you mind, judging from the box office that is lower than one, most audiences mind.
You can't even evaluate it, only get a word from fans: "Popcorn slices, cool is it".
The problem is that now that popcorn is eating too much, Coke really drinks until it vomits, and it really can't be refreshed.
It's been 22 years, and the $6 billion "Fast and Furious" series should also end
Finally, for this series, I believe that many viewers who still go to see it should have the same idea. This series has been filmed for 22 years, there are already 10 films, and Hollywood does not have a few movies of this length (not counting derivatives), many viewers chase from the first to the tenth, and in the tenth part all the people in the family have returned.
Although this movie is quite outrageous in all aspects, it feels quite perfect, and the plot rhythm is also OK, I think as long as you want to see it, you can still go to see it, and there will not be much complaining, after all, this kind of movie, is really just for fun.
It's like a few Easter eggs behind "Fast 10" have hung up the appetite of many people, what will happen to the Fast Women's Federation in Antarctica? Will Donald and his son survive under the dam? Is the music player Jacob offline? Can Roman, Han and others survive the plane?
Details of Guo Da Statham's savior (will he join forces with his brother)? Dwayne Johnson's return to the follow-up plot with Dante? What kind of sparks will Giselle collide with when she comes back from the dead, etc.?
In the end, I just hope that the next two can really end like "Avengers 4", if the money is really opened again "Fast 13" or something.
I guess it really cost everyone's favor and patience!
