Since most of the premieres of Hollywood blockbusters are held in the imperial capital, the pocket jun who has been in the magic capital for a long time is actually not a lot of opportunities to watch movies in advance in a year.
But over the years, in fact, I have experienced many times, and I still know its routines.
The most impressive is Nolan's "Interstellar", directly placed in the narrow square outside the Xintiandi UME, any melon eating crowd to Xintiandi can see Nolan, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, the atmosphere is really hi.

In recent years, with the deterioration of the anti-terrorism situation, the Shanghai premiere of Hollywood blockbusters is generally selected in Shanghai Studios (except for "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" in Shanghai Disneytown), because there is a closed venue inside, you can arrange the admission of selected fans in advance, and then Hollywood stars will sign at a very slow pace and take selfies with fans.
Here is the beginning of the red carpet of Shanghai Cinema "Mission Impossible 5" Atang Brother
Here is the end of the shanghai studio red carpet "Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot
Although it has benefited these fans, it always feels less of a hot atmosphere.
This time, "Ace Agent 2: The Golden Circle" is still arranged in Shanghai Studios.
Before the film party arranged, eat a meal of hairy crab with Gu Da.
Because the three main creators, director Matthew Vaughn, "Egg Egg" Tarun Egerton, and "Uncle Ma Qiang" Mark Strong, are not very famous in Chinese mainland, and the most popular face uncle did not come, this time even the red carpet link was cancelled, directly into the movie hall to hold the premiere.
First, let's talk about the first impression of the three people:
Egg Egg himself is still very cute, has a feeling of British sunshine, very gentlemanly, but always feels that he lacks the big star temperament of BlingBling.
Uncle Ma Qiang is very tall, his voice is very loud, and his temperament and voice line are very similar to the former leader of Pocket Jun (a deputy director of Shanghai Television Station).
Matthew Vaughn, on the other hand, is a cool uncle who must have been rebellious when he was young!
Compared with Egg Egg and Uncle Ma Qiang, to see the director Matthew Vaughn, who has not slept for 29 hours, Pocket Jun's heart is still more excited.
The British filmmaker debuted as early as 1998, and the first available film was as an actor and producer in Guy Ritchie's Two Smoking Guns.
From the film for nearly 20 years, the real directing works are not very many, 6 films.
All films have a Douban score of over 7.0. He is a top Hollywood filmmaker who cherishes his feathers
Among Matthew Vaughn's 6 films, Pocket Jun's favorite is still "The Sea King" and "Ace Agent". It can be said that the temperament of his works can be summarized into three words:
refreshing! cruel! hi!
In the process of watching "Ace Agent 2: The Golden Circle", Pocket Jun is still very cool to watch, because the movie is very cool, and some of the bridges are extremely hi!
Although the wind review after the North American release shows that the sequel is not as good as the first one, Pocket Jun can responsibly say:
I've seen Ace Agent 2, and it's definitely no worse than the first tune
In fact, Chinese mainland fans of the film, for this series is absolutely preferred.
This can be seen from the rating of the first part.
Rotten Tomatoes: 74%, IMDB: 7.7.
The Douban is as high as 8.4 points. Pocket Jun Douban Friends: 8.6 points.
Why do mainland movie fans have a preference for "Ace Agent"? Pocket Jun summed up 9 words:
Heavy taste, bad taste, large scale
First of all, the issue of deletion that fans are extremely concerned about.
Hollywood's R-rated blockbuster "Ace Agent 2" has been released: 139 minutes, 2 minutes less than in North America. Compared to the deletion of the first part, it is a full 4 minutes. This time it is still merciless under the knife.
Pocket Jun in the Shanghai Cinema to see the dragon standard, the scale is still very large, there should be F head of the national scolding, eggs, meat grinder, Kato eagle god pointing god horse, are retained.
The top left corner lights up: Bitch Is Back!
And compared to the last one-size-fits-all, the entire church scene was crudely cut off, and where the knife point was this time, Pocket Jun really didn't see it.
The overall look and feel can be summarized as a recommendation for loading forks:
Plasma and fun fly together, fashion is a gentleman's color.
Card pumped supermodel sister Poppy
Old rules, on the rating.
If it's a 5 out of 5, I'll give Ace Agent 2 a 4.5 stars. If the score is 100, it is 85 points.
From the opening of the explosive car chase drama, Pocket Jun realized a fact: the investment budget of the sequel was increased.
The second part has a budget of $104 million, up 28% from the 84 million U.S. dollars in the first part.
Regarding "Ace Agent", fans often compare it to the 007 series.
The two have too many similarities:
1) Both are pure British blood. Basically all the creators and cass, like Harry Potter, are British.
2) Main agents and high-tech elements.
3) Both have a strong gentlemanly culture, which is very suitable for luxury implantation

But since Daniel Craig took on 007, in addition to the first part "Casino Royale" is not bad, Pocket Jun feels that the other films (Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Ghost Party) basically have an old-fashioned, lengthy, and incorruptible look.
And the British gentleman agent's new celebrity "Ace Agent" is obviously a set of non-traditional agent films, fashionable, unobtrusive, heavy taste, more in line with the contemporary young people's viewing tastes. In terms of plot, "Ace Agent 2: The Golden Circle" has a surprising kind
---- spoiler line is coming, mind skipping----
As soon as the scene begins, the identity of Egg Egg's agent is revealed.
The villain pounces on him in a frenzy, and various comic-like burst shots keep appearing.
Eventually, the high-tech agent car disguised as a Taxi managed to help the egg escape.
But it ignores a mechanical arm left behind by the opponent.
The long-haired guy in the first part of the song has become the big villain
This arm comes from the big boss: Aunt Moore, the big Drug Lord of the United States. Egg Egg drove the agent car back to Kingsman's headquarters, causing a catastrophe.
The robotic arm successfully infiltrated the system and pinpointed the three major strongholds of the Ace Agent Organization in the United Kingdom, and the big Boss Moore was really fierce, three missiles, without missing a shot, destroying all of Kingsman's strongholds in britain.
Egg Egg and Uncle Ma Qiang, both outside, escaped the catastrophe. But the other members, all killed.
Later, Egg Egg and Uncle Ma Qiang, after taking out a bottle of American-made whiskey in the safe, the two drink to commemorate their deceased comrades, accidentally discover Kingsman's stronghold in Kentucky.
---- spoiler line over can be read on----
Pocket Jun often reads some chicken soup texts, saying that everyone should have a "zero" mentality.
But giving up the sunk costs of the past and starting over is really a tough choice for many people. Because the routines and comfort zones of the past are gone.
When facing the future, you will find that the road ahead is long, and only risks remain.
The same is true for movies.
"Ace Agent 2" knocks everything back to square one through such a kind of tear-down and restarting plot, and I have to admire the courage of director/screenwriter Matthew Vaughan.
In addition to the kind, Pocket Jun's favorite thing about Matthew Vaughn is:
He has a bad taste
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a literary scholar Zhang Dai, who often said some shocking and sharp truths, including a famous saying, which was widely circulated
Man has no fetish and cannot be intercourse, with its lack of affection also.
Man has no defects and cannot be intercourse, and his innocence is also true.
If a person has no fetishes/hobbies, it proves that he is not interested in anything.
If a person looks flawless, it means that he is always hiding himself and is not sincere enough.
Neither group of people is worth associating with.
Weird directors like Matthew Vaughn often make films that have a childish, absurd, humorous, and authentic look.
These temperaments are also the most essential parts of Ace Agent 2: The Golden Circle.
With the blessing of a budget of $104 million, Matthew's bad taste is constantly amplified, and the soundtrack, action scenes, cool editing, fun high-tech props, and comic-style mirrors throughout the film are all first-class cool
And Zhongkasi, under the guidance of the banner of bad taste, offered his acting skills above the standard line.
Let's start with "Uncle Face" Colin Firth.
First of all, popularize how the nickname Uncle Face came about
1) Firth is extremely close to the Face pronunciation
2) Uncle's face is quite large among Hollywood actors
3) Although the uncle is 57 years old this year, he is still handsome and handsome, and it is no problem to eat by the face.
Big face still standing in the front row?
Some students want to ask: Uncle Face is in the first part, obviously he has been shot in the head by the director at the door of the church, how can he come back to life?
High-tech.
But this kind of high technology also has sequelae.
What it is, there are no spoilers here.
In a word: Uncle Face is still in the center of the whirlpool of the plot in "Ace Agent 2", and his temperament is extremely similar to some of the bridges in "God of Gamblers".
And then Aunt Moore.
Let's take a look at a screenshot first. Industry Awards nominations 21 times, 12 wins, probability of winning: 57%.
In 2015, after winning the Oscar with "Still Alice", Aunt Moore's acting skills were completely recognized by the industry, saying that she was the top 5 in Hollywood film history.
Because she is the first person in history to win the Oscar, Golden Globe Award, British Academy Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and the highest actor award in the three major European festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Venice).
So, Julian Moore has an open reputation: full slam queen
As the villain boss in "Ace Agent 2", Julianne Moore was full of drama as soon as she opened her mouth, and her acting skills were still bursting, not only performing the feeling of neuroticism, slightly brutal obsessive-compulsive, but also reflecting the overall situation and aura of her world's first drug lord.
In fact, the real top villains are brain-headed, mouth-moving, and hands-on, and once they personally do it, they will donate blood to their hands, which shows that he is not far from destruction.
Finally, British gay emperor superstar Elton John
Despite being 70 years old this year and reaching a peak, Elton John and Matthew Vaughn are actually a kind of people: they are full of childish bad tastes, and they do not hesitate to entertain the public through self-blackness.
As a cute existence in "Ace Agent 2", Elton John is the biggest funny baggage of this film, and it is definitely the rhythm of laughter.
Overall, Ace Agent 2: The Golden Circle is still big in its brains and scale, still telling how Kingsman saved the world when the super bad guy did the most extreme bad things.
The affectionate female drug lord, the freshly cut and freshly made human flesh hamburger, the cool comic-style mirror, the courage to make a comeback after the devastating blow, still cool and cool!
Despite the addition of American rough denim, it diluted the sequel's exquisite British gentleman culture
But the exaggerated subversion of the film's comic strip, the joyous and bright bad taste, is still there. The quality is definitely no worse than the first part.
In short, the Ace Agent series has become more and more "contemporary new 007" rhythm.
But compared to 007's lengthy old-school style, "Ace Agent" is obviously more wild!
