Recently, the remake of the movie "Journey to the West" was released in theaters, but the dismal box office results and rough special effects caused widespread dissatisfaction and criticism from the audience. This remake of the 66-year-old Yuan Biao is controversial in terms of quality and word-of-mouth, and the box office only reached a dismal result of 140,000.
First, let's focus on the special effects of the movie. By the standards of modern film special effects, the film's special effects are simply unacceptable. Both the scene and the characters appear too rough and inferior. Audiences had high expectations for the ability to create realistic and shocking special effects, but this film was a big disappointment. It's no exaggeration to say that its special effects are comparable to those of a decade ago, and are completely incomparable to today's state of the art.
Secondly, the plot adaptation is also a major focus of criticism from the audience. As a classic of Chinese culture, "Journey to the West" has a rich story background and profound meaning. However, in this remake, the plot seems too "colloquial" and loses the solemnity and depth of the original work. For viewers who like the original, this is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the classics.
Moreover, the dismal box office results also reflect the audience's rejection of the film. Cinema as an art form needs to engage audiences through well-made and engaging content and ultimately gain box office recognition. However, the remake of "Journey to the West" failed to meet this standard, so it was difficult to achieve good results at the box office.
In short, the remake of "Journey to the West" by 66-year-old Yuan Biao has been criticized in terms of special effects production, plot adaptation and box office results. Audiences generally thought that the special effects of the film were rough, the plot was too colloquial, and the box office results were even more disastrous. For such a situation, we should pay more attention to the spiritual connotation of the original work, respect the classics and pay attention to the quality of production. Only in this way can we truly make a masterpiece that is engaging and loved by the audience.
