      The world is big

      Although the movie is called "Catch the Demon", the "demon" in the movie is not the monster in our normal understanding, nor the ghost, but the life that once coexisted with human beings. Because of the limitations of the living environment and living space, it is forced to Exclude other beings that are inaccessible and different from us. In the dark, whether it is a person or a demon, there are good and bad, and there are boundaries, and there will be disputes. Just like the reflection in...

      "Monster Hunt" looks good, but it looks simple, but it's not so simple

      Text/Man Jia
       
         first went to the cinema for a movie "Monster Hunt" to swipe the box office twice. The first time was during the 712 screening period. When it was officially released, both 716 and 717 were on business trips, so 718 quickly watched it again. a game. At different times, the movie theaters are all the same, and if you don't book tickets in advance, there will be no seats at all.
       
          For a good-looking movie, the most important thing is, of course, to tell the...

      "Monster Hunt": The most scarce in this era are men and women


      I wasn't too happy after watching this movie. Although the Hollywood-style carnival dance at the end of the film sets the tone of comedy for the film, I think the three views of this film are incorrect. Although many scenes are Hollywoodized, in the core of this film, it is not Very inconsequential.
      The main theme of Hollywood is: 1. For the sake of the children, I can abandon everything; for the relatives, I can abandon everything. 2. Diaosi must counterattack, from a little boy to a...

      Chinese and Western Dumpling Salad

      As the most popular movie of last year, it is a little late to write a movie review now. Speaking of which, I heard that the inspiration for the theme of "Monster Hunt" came from Chinese mythology. As a classmate who has read novels such as "Shan Hai Jing" since childhood On the contrary, I feel that there is something that catches the eye and makes people eager to watch it. Instead, Xu Chengyi's reputation as the father of Shrek in Hollywood brought me into the theater. I have to say that this...

      Spit out the realm

      I haven't laughed so freely in a long time. At the end of the battle with Huba, I burst into tears and was hit without any precaution.
      Most of the children in the theater were laughing wildly, completely out of control. This is already a good movie.

      As always, counting the details, hehe, I am this turtle-hair type, there is no way.

      Except for the part where he spit out the level, he spit out the realm, and the vomit made people unprepared, laughing all the way. My...

      Fifty points. The cuteness is very strange, the laugh is also very strange, a little unacceptable. In addition, all the actors in the whole film, except Tang Wei, are okay, others are usually indifferent. Everyone's performances have a common feature, that is, putting on a pose and playing tricks. Demons are not demons, people are not...

      wubawuba! lulumi gulumi! Huba is so cute, with laughter and tears, big cameo appearances, amazing special effects, and living up to expectations~ Although sometimes the individual actions that combine live action and animation (such as when hugging) are still a little awkward, it is inevitable that there are too many characters on the scene. Taking care of this and losing the other, but the flaws do not hide the good, the overall effect is very satisfied! Wait for the release to go to IMAX for...

    Evaluation action

    In fact, the story of "Monster Hunt" is very simple. Jing Bo Ran accidentally became pregnant with the little demon king who was about to come into the world. Bai Baihe, the midwife and bodyguard, tried to ensure the birth of the little demon king. From the accidental pregnancy to the wrong character setting, we know that this film is taking the comedy line. The story is a little childish, but fortunately, a plot like a man giving...
