Douban 3.2, the first bad film of the year, showed me vomit
Recently, there is a new film for Uncle Yu to see disgusting.
This is the male protagonist in the movie.
His name is "Seiya".
That's right, the protagonist of the Japanese anime Saint Seiya.
However, there is no similarity between the two.
And Athena.
From a childhood goddess, she has become a European and American woman who goes to cosplay at comic conventions.
Seriously, just looking at the character Uncle Yu is already strained.
In addition, the plot, costumes, characters and many other aspects are unappetizing.
I never thought that this time my childhood would be so completely destroyed!
After reading it against the work injury, Uncle Yu did not vomit or be unhappy.
Saint Seiya Live Action
For many post-8090 audiences, "Saint Seiya" is an unforgettable childhood classic.
From "Silver Saint Seiya" to "Zodiac", to "Nordic Chapter" and "Sea King Chapter"...
Accompanied us countless good times.
A number of characters, familiar to everyone:
Seiya, Purple Dragon, Glacier, Instantaneous, Kazuki, Athena...
All kinds of tricks, backwards:
"Pegasus Meteor Fist", "Lushan Ascending Dragon Overlord", "Nebula Chain"...
And the famous line of the middle two "burn the small universe" is enough to make all the "holy fans" smile.
Therefore, when he first knew that he wanted to make such a live-action movie, Uncle Yu had only one idea in his mind:
"Don't come here!"
After the film came out, it was fulfilled.
This live-action version is unrecognizable.
To put it bluntly, it is to apply the names of several characters in the animation to stage a fan science fiction movie.
The plot alone made Uncle Yu feel uncomfortable.
The male protagonist, Seiya, has become a guy who fights underground black boxing in the octagon cage.
Because he couldn't stand the oppression and exploitation of the underworld big brother, he took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Without taking two steps, I met "Reincarnated Ned Stark" -
Animation prototype Mitsumasa Jodo.
Sean Bean, who plays Ned Stark in Game of Thrones
Ned tells the guy that he can only live if he goes with him.
Come with me, you are the chosen man.
Taking Seiya back home, he immediately introduced his daughter again-
Sienna.
And this blonde Sienna is the reincarnation of Athena.
Seiya was a little confused, and Uncle Yu was also a little confused.
This is not only far from the image in the anime, but even the character is completely different.
The calmness, bravery, wisdom and other qualities in the original work have all disappeared.
Instead, she became a rebellious girl who can only play sex, and even a little narcissistic.
After that, the drama also embarked on the old-fashioned routine of Hollywood movies.
Seiya's goal is to protect Athena.
And in order to awaken the small universe, he had to worship the magic bell.
This is quite reductive, mainly because he didn't show his face
Wait until the ability is trained, and wait for the villain to take the initiative to send it to the door.
Thus, a great war between good and evil to save the world began.
The plot of the original work is replaced by simple and crude routines in the movie.
Character shaping, there is no logic at all.
Sienna has been locked up in the castle by her father.
She knew that Athena's abilities in her body were unstable and she was in danger of running away at any time.
But in the back, he suddenly took the initiative to take Seiya out for a ride.
No one stopped the entire castle.
Knowing that the villain was coming, she actually drove back.
Gao Emotional Chamber of Commerce said: Athena is very brave, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and favoring Tiger Mountain.
Low emotional intelligence is: give away people's heads.
Seiya's mood is also very unstable.
Trained well a second ago.
In the next second, I was going down the mountain.
He also fought with the magic bell for this.
After that, there were all kinds of big noises.
"I don't care!"
Ned's behavior is even more bizarre.
After the villain raided the castle, he actually wanted to blow himself up.
You think he's going to die all at once.
In fact, no one took it away, and it became a senseless suicide.
The most difficult thing is the reversal of the ending.
The villain, who was busy for more than an hour, finally caught Sienna.
As a result, seeing her tearing her heart, her heart instantly softened.
"Killing Athena", which has been clamoring for many years, suddenly became "protecting the heart of the girl".
Such a hard reversal, Uncle Yu has not seen it for a long time.
In addition to the plot magic change, the production is also full of thunder points.
It talks about high-cost big productions.
The one who took out his hand was like a big net.
First of all, serving the road is cheap.
The most important "holy garment" does not have a metallic texture, but becomes a leather product.
It seems more appropriate to directly change the name to "Leather Armor Saint Seiya".
Even if the Holy Robe was upgraded later, he became an armored warrior.
But it is still full of a sense of immediacy of homemade coswear.
Not only is the holy clothes cheap, but the set is also quite rough.
Although the story background in the animation is also modern, most of the ancient Greek elements are still occupied.
Movies can be poured well.
I haven't seen the slightest bit of ancient Greek elements.
The so-called "temple" used to train Seiya is a barren mountain from beginning to end.
To put it at best, it is called "primitive", and the ugly point is "mass grave".
Secondly, the fight scenes suck.
At first, Uncle Yu didn't believe how bad a fight could be.
Until the "worldly master" magic bell in the movie appeared and said.
A set of military body punches was played on the spot, and finally a flower rack was put up.
I didn't see the strength and lethality of the action, but I felt that my toes began to pick the ground.
The protagonist's master is still like this, and the performance of others is also expected
Seiya himself fights, all relying on special effects sonic and slow motion.
One kick to kill the previous black fist big brother.
Looking at the close-up, the eldest brother is not only not uncomfortable, but also seems to be smiling happily?
The fights of the supporting characters are also disasters.
The bald big brother with sunglasses the whole time, a hidden look.
But once you do it, it's all short.
The same is a dozen threes.
John Wick is a clever and crisp.
And the sunglasses big brother is visible to the naked eye dragging and contrived.
It's like a drunk on the street making trouble, and the main one is in a hurry.
Although the money saved by persuasion and action scenes was all spent on special effects.
But the final special effects quality is also a slag.
There are scenes without details, and the eyes are full of inferior CG light pollution.
The car chase meets the missile chase.
A drag racing shot is full of online game texture.
Pegasus wings behind Seiya when he transforms.
It's like a character skin that comes away when you recharge a web game.
What confuses Uncle Yu the most is the transformation special effects.
With such a large metal box, the sound effects and special effects on the upper body of the warframe are made like Transformers.
The final war is even more disastrous.
Seiya and Kazuki, one blue and one red.
The picture is not epic at all, and it is completely a brainless fight between two RMB players under the abuse of special effects.
How was the fight, you ask?
I'm sorry.
The special effects are too bright to see anything.
As for the most famous move "Pegasus Meteor Fist".
It was hit in the movie, but not shouted.
Do not shout out the special move, there is no soul.
Rounding up, this live-action version of Saint Seiya has no soul at all.
A live-action version of rotten through the center of the earth, nakedly ruining childhood.
From casting to plot, from painting style to special effects, it is a great insult to the original.
Obviously, audiences across the globe are aware of the essence of the film.
A $60 million investment in exchange for a $6.7 million global box office.
It can be called the most popular movie in recent years, and the real blood is lost.
There is also word of mouth on the street.
Douban 3.2, IMDb4.5.
The double collapse of the box office reputation directly nailed the film to the pillar of shame.
Both at home and abroad, the comment area is a wail.
"Shanzhai fandom, rotten to death!"
"Don't look, you'll regret it!"
"Hitting one star is the bottom line of Douban, not mine."
What surprised Uncle Yu the most was to find two familiar names in the cast and crew -
The director of the original anime, Kozo Morishita, and Masami Kada, the author of the original manga.
It's hard to understand why they agreed to make such a movie in Hollywood.
Something to the effect that: I don't understand why they agreed to do so
Looking at the past of Hollywood's "live-action Japanese animation", it is almost all black history.
In 2009, a live-action version of "Dragon Ball" was filmed.
Douban 3.7, the plot is rotten and boring.
Except for the character name, there is hardly any shadow of the original.
It is even rumored that even Zhou Yunfa, who plays the turtle immortal, still does not want to admit that he has acted in this film.
Ghost in the Shell in 2017.
The original book with a deep core was adapted into a mediocre science fiction movie.
"Intergalactic Cowboy" in 2019.
Even if it tries to restore it in terms of the title and music, it still can't grasp the artistic conception and romantic feelings of the original work.
With many tragic events ahead, it is difficult to expect Hollywood live-action Japanese anime.
However, Hollywood is still non-stop.
The live-action version of "One Piece" will be launched in August.
Just watching the trailer has probably made many fans feel that something is wrong.
Later, there will be a live-action version of "Yuyou White Book".
Repeatedly and badly, repeatedly rotten.
You have to ask why, naturally because the influence of Japanese anime IP is too great.
It has long radiated from Asia to all parts of the world.
That IP is ATM.
In fact, Hollywood has the world's top film industry, not to say that it does not have the ability to shoot well.
The success of Marvel and DC movies has long proved that comic book movies are not a problem for Hollywood.
The first problem remains a serious lack of sincerity.
The above daily comic live-action movies, except for "Ghost in the Shell", are basically chaotic from the main creator to the starring actor.
The investment may seem like a lot, but it's actually nowhere near the top big productions.
Another key issue is the fundamental cultural differences between East and West.
Hollywood creators often struggle to understand the core expressions and cultural contexts of Japanese animation.
Although the Japanese animation "Saint Seiya" borrows Greek mythology as the background of the story, the overall narrative style and story theme are still very Japanese.
For example, the hot-blooded royal narrative, the single-celled protagonist of Middle Two, the ability setting of Eastern philosophization, and so on.
These are all difficult parts for live-action movies.
Hollywood movies adapted from Japanese comics are not completely wiped out.
In 2014, Tom and Emily Blunt co-starred in "Edge of Tomorrow", which was a box office and word-of-mouth success.
The film is actually based on the Japanese manga All You Need Is Kill.
The original IP is not hot.
Therefore, this movie simply did not think about rubbing the popularity of IP.
Instead, it's about doing a good job of adaptation.
It not only retains the interesting story setting of the original work, but also completely abandons the middle two style of Japanese comics and refills the emotional core of the American style.
Coupled with the addition of two big coffee, the quality of the finished film is further guaranteed.
On the other hand, a manga movie like "Saint Seiya" is simply like a malicious "money laundering" work.
The quality is inferior, it has no meaning, it is a waste of time and a waste of life.
At the moment, I just want a pair of eyes that have not seen this movie at all.
Uncle Yu said responsibly to you, don't have any curiosity about such a bad film.
Trust me, it's for your good.
