The Great Wall Negative evaluation of

"The Great Wall" is nothing but a localized invasion of Hollywood's boring anti-guessing film, without much original construction. The origin of the story of "The Great Wall" is in Hollywood's hands. Zhang Yimou took over the guide tube. It was not only the result of Americans coveting the Chinese market, but also the force of Chinese capital invading Hollywood. From the perspective of the finished film, Zhang Yimou's takeover not only did not save the script's birth defects, but also did not even mention basic bonus points. In terms of characterization that the director can exert his efforts, there is also nothing to do. Visually, Zhang Yimou is still the set of impressions of the Great Wall and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games team gymnastics. It is an aesthetic overdraft and has no new investment. 
"The Great Wall" director Zhang Yimou is very capable of making an ancient fantasy action movie into a Hollywood blockbuster, but the director's signature visual spectacle is dazzling, and his talent for depicting meticulous relationship between characters and throbbing passion is too serious for the director to make an epic. The desire of the blockbuster was trampled off.
The role of the film is meaningless, the narrative is also very boring, even the visual and sound, after watching it for a while, it becomes numb and feels exaggerated.

    Quite good looking. In the first half, I think I saw the possibility of the Chinese filming The Lord of the Rings.

    Congratulations to Zhang Yimou for finally making a Hollywood movie with chaotic plot and logic, mindless mix and match style, and stars piled up. Congratulations to Jing Tian for being an out-and-out heroine this time. It's a pity that Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe, such acting schools.
