Is Pacific Rim 2 good-looking? Isn't it ugly? Isn't it ugly? It's not a scam. From the perspective of commercial genres, the completion and maturity of "Rim 2" are all done well.
The story of the film tells us that when Chinese companies recruit crooked nuts in the future, they must do a good job in the ideological work of the core socialist values, otherwise it is easy to breed anti-skeletal boys.
"Ring 2" is a commercial film based on special effects. The plot itself serves the purpose of special effects.
Therefore, the establishment of the relationship between the characters, the logic of the monster being implanted in the mecha, the film does not want to be too rigorous, just a flat and straightforward description in place.
If you don't pay attention to the rigor of the plot and don't dislike the addition of Jing Tian, you can easily feel the coolness brought to you by "Ring 2", and in certain episodes, you will feel very burning.
If you are a mecha control, you will feel the sincerity in the special effects part of the film. You don't save a penny on the special effects action, and the big scenes that should be presented are produced in "Ring 2".
The blueprint of the film story was written by Gyro himself, but the story writer does not mean that he is a screenwriter. If you go to the screenwriter column of "Ring 2", the name of Gyro is not on it. He is just one of the many producers of "Ring 2". One of them.
The so-called story blueprint is to give a story direction, such as the time of the story, the relationship between the actors, the turning point of the event, the ending of the story, and so on.
But how to operate between these people and things, how to expand the character dialogue on the skeleton of the story, and how to refine the plot, these are what the screenwriter has to do.
Moreover, the director of "Ring 2" is no longer a top, so many of the tops have unique director styles, which we can't see in the movie. This is also a pity for the "Pacific Rim" series, and even many viewers take "Ring 2" and "Ring 1" as the director. The measure of comparison.
After Gyro's "The Shape of Water" won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, Universal and Legend want to bring Gyro back to this series, and I am afraid it will cost several times more than before.
Therefore, without the blessing of the top, the atmosphere of the film will no longer be as gloomy as the "Loop 1", the disaster scenes are not so violent, and the monster's sense of oppression is much less.
Take the action scenes that everyone wants to see most. Many of "Ring 1" takes place in the middle of the night, rainy night, and the final battle is directly on the bottom of the sea.
The ubiquitous rain and water seem to be similar to the water element in "The Shape of Water". It seems that the top really loves to play with water, and these movie characteristics are the hallmarks of a unique director, and our opinion of "The Shape of Water " "Ring 1" is an impressive place.
Moreover, the layout of the research room of "Ring 1" and the scenes of the Mecha Grounds all have a gyroscopic "sordid feeling". At first glance, the images of "Rim of the Pacific" and "The Shape of Water" are very similar.
These gyro styles are all gone in "Ring 2", replaced by more commercial mirrors.
For example, the weather in "Ring 2" is more sunny, so that the audience can see the look of the mecha more clearly; the fighting action and the degree of disaster are not as creative as the original "Ring 1" mecha holding a cargo ship to shoot monsters.
The new generation of mechas are naturally faster and stronger, but this also leads to the shadow of Transformers. What we want to see may be the bulky, gear-like, and hard-mechanical feel of the first mech. Like the plastic feel of the "Ring 2" drone armor after spraying white paint.
In terms of scale, the layout of "Ring 2" is smaller. The mecha mission is only to destroy the combined monsters, while "Ring 1" is to go to the monsters' hometown to directly fight. Although the monsters' hometown is not finally eliminated, it interrupts the portal. With this setting, the scale pattern is still larger than that of "Ring 2".
In addition, since Legendary Pictures was acquired by Wanda in 2016, the Chinese elements of "Ring 2" have become more prominent this time, and even occupy a pivotal position. It truly has the taste of Chinese and foreign co-productions.
Although this mecha does not have a model with Chinese characteristics, it directly puts the Pan Pacific headquarters in China, and another drone manufacturer, also Shaw Corporation of China, is headquartered in Shanghai, and the boss is Jing sweet.
Da Cong knows that many people are in Hei Jingtian, and even put on the slogan "As long as it is Jingtian universe, it must be a bad film."
But the bottom line is that everyone refuses to accept an actor who is not well-known and has mediocre acting skills. He starred in "The Great Wall", "King Kong Skull Island", "Pacific Rim 2" and other blockbusters in just a few years. In terms of appearance and acting skills, there are a lot of actresses who are better than Jing Tian, so why is it just Jing Tian?
In other words, everyone Hei Jingtian is not convinced by the big commercial film production scale and Jing Tian's own strength.
Of course, "Ring 2" Zhang Niangniang will be more domineering and more queen fan, or Fan Bingbing will do.
But we can reverse it from the role. If we really use the role of the female president in the film to talk about acting skills, there is really nothing to study.
This is because the female president, no matter from the character's dialogue or the shaping of the role, is thin. After all, this kind of commercial entertainment film, even the protagonist, can't play a deliberate performance.
Just like "Clover's Paradox" some time ago, Da Cong couldn't see how three-dimensional the role she played because of Zhang Niangniang.
And to be honest, Jing Tian has been a very hard performer in "Ring 2", from the stage step of "The King called me to tour the mountain" in "King Kong Skull Island" to the present "Ring 2" is a bit like a boss, Although more often, Da Cong feels that Jing Tian is more like the daughter of the Shaw Group boss, rather than the real boss.
Is Jing Tian good enough? It's not enough, but Da Cong will also face up to Jing Tian's growth and hard work in "Ring 2".
Of course, watching movies is a very subjective feeling. Some people will contribute to the box office because of their favorite idols, some will enter the theater because of the director they admire, and some will decide to watch because of a popular IP.
So, if you really don't like Jing Tian in your heart, you'd better not watch it, because she has quite a lot of roles. But if you don't look at it because everyone is in Hei Jingtian and you don't have any standpoint, it will be you, not Jingtian, who will lose.
Pay attention to the public account of "Da Cong Watching Movies", don't pursue running volume, only grind high-quality goods
