After "Reunion 4", the cinema was in a mess.
Some people greeted, some people soured, some people touched porcelain, some people reveled.
What will we encounter in May?
The Next: The Predecessor
Release date: May 1
Expected Value: ★
Director: Chen Hongyi
Starring: Guo Caijie / Zheng Kai / Li Dongxue
Zheng Kai, the former of the people, made another "Predecessor" work.
But this "predecessor" has nothing to do with the "Former Raiders" series...
On April 27, the official of "Predecessor 3: Goodbye Predecessor" issued a statement in anger:
To translate:
You are not Predecessor 4 and we reserve the right to interpret.
Your marketing is deliberately rubbing my hot spots.
etc.
According to this momentum, there will definitely be an authentic "Predecessor 4"...
That Zheng Kai wandered between these two tearing films.
It's really like an "ex".
Rome
Release date: May 10
Expected Value: ★★★★★
Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Starring: Yaliza Abaricio / Marina de Tavira / Diego Cortina Otterli / Carlos Peralta
Media reviews were highly consistent: "One of the best movies of last year, not one." ”
Metascore was the highest in 2018
Although it was turned away by the Cannes Film Festival, it was —
Won the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director and Best Cinematography.
It has also won nearly 30 awards, including the Venice Golden Lion and the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.
The director constructs those faded memories bit by bit with details ranging from tiles to entire blocks.
It is not only a "confession" that is late across classes and distances, but also an epic poem of an ordinary woman.
Some people, some things, may miss out and never have the opportunity to say it again.
But there are some good movies that you can choose not to miss.
Detective Pikachu
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Rob Letterman
Starring: Ryan Reynolds / Justis Smith / Catherine Newton
As soon as the trailer came out, there was a collective uproar.
It turned out that Pikachu had been looking at it for so many years.
Not only has it grown hair, but it has also changed from the familiar cute sound of the animation to the uncle tone of "Deadpool".
In fact, the movie is not adapted from the anime, but Nintendo's 3DS handheld "Detective Pikachu" released on March 23, 2018.
The Pikachu in the game is indeed an uncle.
Officials have also revealed in many places that Pikachu does have hair.
Once this setting is accepted, the floodgates of memory are opened as the other Pokémon appear one by one.
When watching the hordes of magic frog seeds flowing through the stream, the fire-breathing dragon took a mouthful of flames, the magic wall puppet stumbled, and the super dream domineering appeared.
Oh, what a fragrance.
A Mother's Revenge
Director: Ravi Djevar
Starring: Shri Daiyu / Akshaye Kanna / Sacha Ali
Yesterday, Sir recommended the movie: "If there's only one superhero, I hope it's her."
It's a re-examination of women's power.
It tells you that in desperate situations, a woman can be several times herself.
Because she has resilience, she has patience, she has guts, and she has a love that will never be betrayed.
Unfortunately, last year's actress Ciri Daiyu passed away.
It's time to say goodbye to the "Last Queen of Bollywood".
Heidi and Grandpa
Release date: May 16
Director: Alain Guspenner
Starring: Anuk Steffen / Bruno Gantz
80,000 people have seen the European god film in 2015, and Douban has a score of 9.1.
Why do you have to watch it in a movie theater?
First, such a beautiful view of the Alps will be even more shocking in the cinema.
Second, such quiet, far-reaching emotions that require patience seem to flow only on the big screen.
If you experience it in all its aspects, it will also heal you in all its aspects.
"A-Ma Is a City"
Release date: May 17
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Li Shaohong
Starring: Bai Baihe / Huang Jue / Wu Gang / Liu Jialing

The promo's lines are like a sharp knife, cutting through the stubborn sores of the Chinese-style family.

The mother in the story, because she can't get along with the old man, moved in with her daughter, but she can't get along with her daughter either.

But the enigmatic big sister conjured up penguins one after another?!
The collision of everyday life and fantasy, the fusion of suspense and youth, the unknown of adventure and growth.
It's getting hotter and hotter in May, and you may need this coolness.
Twins
Release date: May 18
Director: Kim Jin Sung
Starring: Liu Haoran / Chen Turing / Zhao Rui
Sir introduced it last month.
Postponed for three years, the past youthfulness, embarrassment and unnaturalness of fresh meat will be revived.
However, perhaps because "Reunion 4" came too strongly in April, "Twins" once again chose to play with the schedule.
Don't think that the schedule is fun, play for a long time, even your own people will hurt.
This is not.
Fans on Weibo complained, and one said:
"May is about to rise to the beginning, April can still be seen, good gas."
child.
You go from third grade to junior high school and end up missing out.
Let it miss it, then it will be more beautiful to you than it is itself.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly
Release date: May 24
Director: Tatsuya Nagaminata
Starring: Masako Noba / Ryo Horikawa / Takaaki Nakao / Satoshi Koda / Toshio Furukawa
If you like to watch two-dimensional imagination duels, Dragon Ball Super: Broly is your first choice.
One punch can blow a mountain, one kick can break a river.
Blink your eyes, there is a strong wind.
Sir didn't dare to guess what would happen with a fart.
Aladdin
Director: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Mena Massod / Naomi Scott / Will Smith
Disney, which is "addicted to live-action movies," brings its second live-action movie this year.
After the box office reputation of the previous "Dumbo" double flutter street, can this time turn the tide?
Men and women with no box office appeal, paired with the biggest brand to tease the lamp god Will Smith.
The trailer follows the theme song of the animated version of "A Whole New World", which is a bonus point.
The song and dance are bigger, the scenes are more gorgeous, and the special effects are cooler.
But the more unstable factor is director Guy Ritchie.
"Mayday Life Unlimited Company"
Expected Value: ★★
Director: Chen Yiren
Starring: Wen Shangyi / Shi Jinhang / Cai Shengyan / Liu Tanming / Chen Xinhong
Fan revelry is every year.
Concert titles are new every year.
Spanning 4 continents, it lasted 18 months, with a total of 122 tours and 4.15 million punches.
Whether you look at it or not, someone is cheering.
At present, the material is very confusing.
Is it a documentary or a feature film?
Mayday seems to be a bunch of superheroes who save the planet through music, and when aliens strike, they bravely fight.
Huang Bo seems to be the one who summoned them, like the "Director general of S.H.I.E.L.D."...
But, is it a movie or a concert video?
It claims that a movie has more than 4 million actors.
Life unlimited company, everyone involved is the main actor.
Every "overtime night" is so unforgettable, inside and outside the concert, what can your life story change or not?
This autobiography of 7 billion people now turns to the next chapter: Life Unlimited Company will continue to operate on the big screen.
Unfortunately, Sir is a critic of the film, not a fan.
The confusing definitions and empty concepts of "Mayday Life Unlimited Company", as well as the inexplicable 3D technology, make this film that does not know whether it is a movie or not, and it is difficult to escape the suspicion of "nonsense" and "circle money".
More regrettably, the five fans do not care.
I used to think that this kind of concert was simply ridiculous when it was put in the cinema
But unintentionally entering the pit has become a five-fan, and it can't manage so much!
Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters
Release date: May 31
Director: Michael Doherty
Starring: Vera Famiga / Millie Bobby Brown / Zhang Ziyi / Sally Hawkins
One appearance, four monsters.
Ghidorah, Godzilla, Raton, Mothra.
Undoubtedly, this film wants to best combine human fear and human childlike heart.
It also attempts to combine Western knowability and Eastern occultism.
Global ambitions.
You see, there is also Zhang Ziyi.
In summary, this month's movie is not optimistic.
For Sir, the must-sees are: "Roma", "Heidi and Grandpa".
What should be watched is Pikachu and Godzilla 2.
The rest is something to see or not to see, or you don't want to see it but you still have to see it.
Finally, a brief response to the scheduling problem of "Reunion 4".
Sir has been standing up for Avengers 4, indeed.
It's just that when we're faced with only the choice of Avengers 4, or we can only hear a voice praising Avengers 4, we really should be calm and calm.
Why do movie theaters take advantage of "Reunion 4" to make a wild profit?
Why do creators of literary films regard commercial films as enemies?
Why is it that even in May, when "Reunion 4" is gradually getting colder, there are still not many movies you want to see?
A movie can't cover the sky with one hand, and a movie can't turn the tide on the entire market.
For a good movie, the opponent should not be other movies.
How to create an audiovisual experience that the audience has never seen before, how to ignite the indescribable emotions in our hearts.
Competition cannot be achieved by creating hatred.
These two sentences are worth reflecting on every "competitor" who only has an enemy in his eyes.
Guo Degang: All those who say that I am not good are peers, I am dead, and you can't sell tickets.
Chen Peisi: You can control me, and do you still manage who the audience's eyes love to look at?
