The character structure is also very rich, not only a little boy and a water-horse monster hatched from an egg, but also his strong-minded mother, father who died in battle, a tight-lipped sister and a real-life former sailor servant, and The colonel and his men, even the fat woman maid, the army chef and his fierce dog "Churchill".
There is no redundant character, no redundant plot, but unfortunately this film does not support such a complex character relationship and a heavy background of the times; many characters have stories to be explained, but except for their roles in Harry Potter 5 The "mother" of the villain "Umbridge" does not have a full-fledged character, and the "mother" is limited to not contributing much to the overall plot, and it does not help.
Let's look at the business factor. I think the most attractive thing about blockbusters are the two elements of stars and special effects. After all, there are very few films with no stars, low cost, and a lot of money, and one of these two elements can occupy a lot of market. Among the Loch Ness monsters, the only thing that is barely breathtaking is the part where the little male protagonist rides the grown-up water monster through the lake. To be honest, I don't see it as exciting as the animation in "Finding Nemo".
I am also a poor student, not all movies have the funds to go to the theater, and I was disappointed after watching this movie in the middle of the largest hall of Star Beauty International, a relatively first-class theater in Beijing. I think the original novel must be more exciting, I don't know if it is thick or not, but it can be said that the film is too thin, only about 50 pages thin.
(Personal opinion, just for entertainment, nothing else)
