Is there any hope for superhero movies?
When "Avengers 4" reduced Iron Man to a tool man, the audience knew that Marvel was hopeless.
Then "Captain Marvel 2" and "Black Panther 2" missed one after another, and there were bad reviews. The market has gradually tilted towards DC, and as long as it seizes the opportunity, it may be able to return to the top.
What a pity!
In 2018, Chinese director Wen Ziren came up with the super blockbuster "Aquaman", which is comparable to the undersea version of "Avatar", which not only caused a movie-watching boom in the mainland, but also continued to this day with the stalk of "Aquaman".
It is no exaggeration to say that the film has opened the door to DC's long-dormant silence.
After 5 years, "Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom" (hereinafter referred to as "Aquaman 2") is back strongly, and the audience is also looking forward to it, just waiting for its good results.
But Wen Ziren's answer sheet was too poor, and the one-star and two-star negative reviews on Douban on the first day of release couldn't be counted at all, and some people bluntly said-
"Superhero movies may really be at the end of their time. ”
"Copycat stitching monsters of various masterpieces. ”
"The gas is exhausted, and it is difficult to turn the tide. ”
So what's wrong with the movie that makes fans give such sharp reviews? (The following contains a lot of spoilers)
"Aquaman 2" tells the story of the last unsuccessful attempt to defeat Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the black manta ray is still unwilling to give up to avenge his father and finds the legendary dark trident.
At the same time, Aquaman finds his imprisoned brother Orm, and rejoices that the enemy has joined forces to fight against unknown dangers, and a new round of war is about to break out.
Obviously, this time the plot still can't escape the old routine.
In fact, the first part of "Aquaman" has no novel plot design, flat and straightforward, simple, coupled with exquisite special effects, the atmosphere is full, which won the favor of the audience.
But when I saw the feature film of the second part, I really wanted to ask, Wen Ziren is Jiang Lang's talent, so did he find Zhang Yimou to participate in post-production?
Otherwise, why is this red and green neon filter not to mention that it has nothing to do with "Solid as a Rock" next door, it can only be said that it is exactly the same, all of them are rushing to blind the audience's eyes.
Looking at the fluorescent green trident in the black manta ray's hand, I suddenly remembered the same plastic sword of the rainbow cat and blue rabbit in the small store when I was a child.
Of course, now that prices have risen, this weapon in the hand of the black manta ray is worth at least fifteen yuan, and it would be rude to have a little more.
There's also the submarine war room, which looks like it's been copied straight from Star Trek, and all kinds of underwater creatures, and you can see the shadows of other sci-fi movies.
No wonder it is called "stitching monster", the director does not want to use a movie to bring the audience many times the happiness, right? It is better to rewatch the classics than to watch such cheap and spicy bad movies.
And the design of the plot is also to make people look at it without squeaking.
We don't know why we have to arrange a "good buddy" combination, do you think this is filming "hammer base"?
The brothers teamed up, one was serious, the other was funny, the gags were gags, the feelings warmed up, the character story line was seen at a glance, and the routine was to the extreme.
The key is that you can shoot it, at least you have to design a more powerful equipment for your younger brother Orm, or you can also strengthen your ability.
The only great thing about Orm now is this mouth, which is so poor that he is properly funny.
Some netizens commented: Aquaman's younger brother is a sponge, ridiculously weak.
If you can talk, you can talk more.
But do you think that's all the grooves of the whole movie? Wrong, the film is rotten, rotten than rotten eggs!
In superhero movies, in addition to the protagonist who is coaxed, there must also be a villain who can match it.
Black manta rays are one of them.
A creature that looks like a fly is really difficult for domestic audiences to get into the play.
What's more, its character is also surprisingly intellectual, as if it really only has the IQ of a fly.
What he likes most in the movie is to pretend to be handsome, create some painless trouble for the team, and ruin the Atlantis snack street by the way.
is usually quite tolerant, but the doctor around him betrayed him so much, and in the end, the "little fly" was just a casual electric electric to the other party.
He really loves it.
Although I was still glad a second ago, this brainless villain is fortunately not the biggest boss, otherwise what would the end of the movie look like?
But I couldn't laugh the next second, because the movie was really bad.
At the end, the black manta ray was moved by the righteous protagonist group and decided to change his mind and become a new person, is this the consciousness that you should have as a "little fly"?
And there is a lot of foreshadowing in the early plot, which has been telling the audience how powerful and terrifying the villain boss is, which once made people feel that this time Aquaman and his younger brother must have one.
As a result, when the final battle began, Aquaman seconds!
That's right, after he used a trident to make a move, this villain boss was killed in seconds, and he came directly to a match, so easy that it didn't seem to be fighting monsters, but skewering seafood, and planned to have an undersea version of "Barbie Q".
No, director, is it reasonable for you to see this for yourself?
Even if you let a few members of the protagonist group join forces to fight for a while, or when everyone has no strength, let Aquaman suddenly comprehend the stunt and get a headshot, it's better than such a hasty finish.
You must know that the black manta ray borrowed a little bit of the villain's strength before, and he almost didn't have the strength to fight back.
The real body has been "precipitated" at the bottom of the sea for tens of millions of years, and it has destroyed the world, and it is still ambitious, and in the end, it can live for more than ten seconds.
"Grass platform team", the world is a grass platform team.
Otherwise I can't describe how ridiculous the disappointment this film has brought to the audience.
As DC's finale, the audience's expectations for the movie "Aquaman 2" are high.
So although the trailer has a bad movie flavor, it still makes everyone willing to spend a movie ticket to walk into the theater.
But the audience's tolerance is the reason for Wen Ziren's unscrupulousness.
The plot, special effects, and even the actors are full of slots, and every scene is telling the audience: The superhero movie is over, don't dream, obediently let me cut the last wave of leeks!
At present, the results of the movie are still good after its release, and it has won 24 million box office so far, but as the word-of-mouth response is known to the public, the follow-up rise will not be optimistic.
Goodbye Jason Momoa, goodbye "Aquaman 2", Chinese audiences don't get deceived anymore, DC is not worth it.
So what do you think of this movie as good or not?
