Preamble:
Superhero movies used to be the blood and dreams of countless movie fans, and the release of each work can set off a frenzy of movie-watching and set off the emotional fluctuations of countless moviegoers.
However, with the end of "Avengers 4", it seems that the entire superhero movie market has a different atmosphere, because it also means that Marvel's ten-year plan has officially come to an end.
And the movies that followed closely after "Captain Marvel", "Black Panther" and other movies have made people's viewing experience plummet, not only the plot is bland, but even the special effects and sound effects have begun to have various problems, and this state naturally cannot attract the favor of the audience.
So, when DC has been silent, Chinese director Wen Ziren's "Aquaman" came strongly, with exquisite special effects and a novel storyline, successfully took the audience on a wonderful journey under the sea, and also opened a new chapter for DC.
However, perhaps it is precisely because the first part is so brilliant that when "Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom" was released, the audience's expectations had broken the table, and the performance of the movie encountered unprecedented pressure.
However, whether it is from the plot or from the overall production, this movie does not seem to meet the audience's expectations, and all kinds of spicy pictures and slots make people point out the problem, and people can't help but start thinking, is there a chance for the superhero movie that was originally shocking the world?
1. Sharp evaluation of watching the movie.
Maybe many people don't know the impact of "Aquaman 2", but as long as you take a look at the sharp reviews on major film review websites, I believe you can roughly understand the audience's emotions.
On Douban, the reputation of "Aquaman 2" once fell below the freezing point, and many viewers bluntly said that the various elements in the film are simply unprecedentedly bad, whether it is the outrageous plot design or the overwhelming green filter, it makes people feel that this movie is completely disgusting to the audience.
Especially in the face of the cooperation between Black Manta and Aquaman, almost all the audience felt speechless, because this plot is simply a great humiliation of the audience's IQ, and it also makes the audience full of endless helplessness and sadness for the entire film market.
Of course, there are also some moviegoers who think that this movie just wants to bring some joy to everyone, after all, there will be some corners that will land, but whether this approach is correct or not, and it is impossible to get an accurate answer.
Maybe this is the charm of the movie, whether it is good or bad, it can arouse strong emotions in the audience and become the focus of heated public discussion.
Second, the problems in the movie.
When it comes to "Aquaman 2", I believe that the first thing that many viewers think of must be the handling of various details in the movie, as well as the rather shocking plot design.
For example, no matter what time it is, the audience can see all kinds of strange underwater creatures, and the design of these creatures is simply a "copy" of various classic science fiction movies, which makes people recognize it at a glance and makes people feel very speechless.
There is also a variety of large-scale fight scenes in the whole movie, but you can't feel the slightest sense of tension and excitement, because such a design is simply "playing hooligan" for the audience, such an obvious provocation of the audience's IQ naturally caused great indignation from the audience.
And the most unacceptable thing for the audience is the reversal design at the end of the movie, which has been rendered as a powerful villain before, but was instantly killed by the protagonist in the end, which is simply a great humiliation to the audience's IQ, and also makes the audience begin to wonder whether the superhero movie, which was originally full of positive energy, has embarked on a complete overturn.
3. The future of superhero movies.
Perhaps the overturn of "Aquaman 2" is not a single case, but a microcosm of the entire superhero film market.
Not long ago, the trailer of "Batman" was also exposed, however, the various elements in it made the audience feel like falling into an ice cave and couldn't extricate themselves, not only the choice of the main creative team, but also the "chivalrous girl" as the protagonist, which was even more unacceptable.
It is precisely because DC has not found a way out, so whether it is Marvel or DC, they are inseparable from the support of the audience, and they also need to find a development path that is truly suitable for themselves, so that they can continue to walk more steadily and bring more high-quality works to the audience.
Perhaps the future of the superhero film market really exists in various "cottages", because as people say, the so-called innovation is just standing on the shoulders of predecessors, and only when it really finds its own characteristics and highlights can it attract the attention of the audience and bring a clear stream to the market.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the efforts of the entire team, whether it is from the writing of the script, or from the selection of actors, to the processing of post-production special effects, all aspects need to be carefully crafted in order to present a high-quality work and infect the hearts of the audience.
Perhaps, the future of superhero movies really needs some "reversal" and "rebirth", both the audience and the production team need to be prepared to deal with various challenges, and also learn to accept various voices, in order to jointly promote the prosperity and development of the market.
