Is it because of Tom's natural attributes? As long as there are movies he participated in, it vaguely gives people the feeling of a special agent-like attribute. Even this movie with a mythological nature has been changed a lot by Tom. This is Tom's self-centered function. He follows Tom's style in the whole film, so that the original myth and horror are all diluted and eliminated by Tom's style.
I have to say that this makes the movie lack a lot of features, and it also lacks a lot of diversified content. The movie can't really play the charm it should have in terms of subject matter, and it has become a fan movie that haunts the superstar. In particular, the movie itself is a well-known IP remake, which not only biased the unique content style of the movie, but also completely changed the layout of the movie. Therefore, the joining of superstars is not a good thing for a classic movie.
Compared with the grand visual effects and exotic styles of the old version of the movie, the movie moved the story scene to a modern city. Compared with the old version, the bright and exciting red and yellow warm colors are used as the background colors of the story, which makes the movie as a whole look like a warm spring breeze and a vibrant sunrise feeling. The background color of the new version of the movie uses blue and black cool colors to create an atmosphere for the movie, which makes the whole movie look dark and lifeless. people's relaxed mood.
Perhaps this is intentional to create a Universal Dark Universe, but the movie lacks any plot that any movie can remember. The entire viewing process was gloomy and gloomy, as if only Tommy's resurrection could let people know that the protagonist would not just hang up like that easily. Now that the aura of the protagonist is drawn, the plot of the movie tends to be thin. Since you know that the protagonist cannot die, what else is there to watch and suspense?
Especially since the movie is a movie that tells the story of a mummy, there are almost no exotic scenes in the Arab world during the entire movie process, and the scenes and stories are completely transplanted to London, and the urban magic becomes a bit nondescript, okay? There is no people's reverence for God, just a group of archaeologists and evil forces fighting each other, such a plot story is not at all distracting, okay? Even myths and stories can be designed and controlled by the elites, so the world of ordinary people is simply dark.
The mummy in this movie is the most unpretentious villain. Not only did he not show his own terror and power, but he was even used for experiments as soon as he appeared. Not only was he not respected and sought after by people, but he even sacrificed his color to let Tom rescue him from the fire and water. Such a distressed and aggrieved character, who suffered a lot of grievances before his death, was used for experiments after his resurrection, and he was not the villain in the movie in the end, but a transitional role to summon the god of death Seth, I have never seen it like this. Bad mummy character.
But the most unpleasant thing is that Princess Knight is dressed up. In the movie, she is covered in shrouds from beginning to end, and she has not worn any gorgeous clothes. Not a little countertop. As a princess, you should at least have some face, and if you are a woman, you should at least dress up after resurrection. The crew shouldn't even have money to buy clothes, but the reality is that they don't. If I had to rate the costume design of this movie, I would give it zero.
Compared with the poor princess Knight, the most hated character in the movie is Tom, this prodigal son who has always been chaotic and abandoned, although he has successfully deceived the trust of the two beauties. But in the end, he, who was the god of death, didn't do a little thing, and the first thing he chose to do was to settle old accounts. Not to mention that the power of the gods not only did not control him, but was instead dominated by him in such a mindless plot. Let's just say that as a god of death, he didn't choose to kill people, but chose to save people, and he felt a little sorry. The gods of death have become good people, how do you let other gods play?
All in all, this movie feels like a little family. There are no groundbreaking scenes, no heart-wrenching stories, and no exciting plots. Zhou Xuan is unable to extricate himself in the conspiracy of the elite, and it also euphemistically calls it to save mankind. This kind of movie with no story, no plot and no point to watch, just to open up a dark universe, it is really worthless to spend such a well-known IP. If the entire dark universe is this kind of thing, you don't know what the result will be without looking at it.
The importance of Tom to the movie is self-evident, but it is a bit unethical for Tom to play with the movie like this. As a big-name star sitting in this movie, he did not inject any vitality into the movie at all, and also took the plot of the entire movie off track, which is a bit too unreasonable. Especially the role he played in this movie, both good and evil, neither good nor bad, dealing with various roles, sometimes brilliant and positive, sometimes despicable, it is really difficult to define that he is in a position in the movie. what kind of location.
If you want to interpret one side, you have to play the role of the good side as well as possible, but he has to cover everything in the movie and wants to play various roles well. Be both a prodigal son and a hero, a gentleman and a villain. All interpretations, all interpretations, all complexities. Let us fully see an ever-changing Tom Cruise in the movie. He is so playful that he does not care about the feelings of other actors. How can you play other roles like this?
So the real girlfriend in the movie has become a silly white sweet, Princess Knight has become a mindless shield villain, and even the appearance of Doctor Incarnate in the movie is just to play a role of needle and thread. Only Tom can do whatever he wants in the movie, he can act as a hero to save the beauty with his doctor's girlfriend, he can be ecstatic with Princess Knight all night in his consciousness, and he can even have fun with his good friends, and finally he evolves into a god and has divine power to rule the world. . If you play movies like this, why don't you go to heaven?
Such an unprincipled protagonist makes the whole movie seem so unruly and nondescript. What good people do, what bad people do too, can't die in death, and can't live in life. In the end, I became a living dead with the upper body of the god of death, but the most unacceptable thing is that God is controlled by man, not God controlling man. It seems that the day of human counterattack has really come, which can completely reverse the positions of human beings and gods and open up a whole new world for the movie.
