There are almost no major changes in the plot of the movie. Even the leading role is the protagonist of the French version. Although Paul Walker has been added, it is not too surprising! As a film directed by a new director, the film is too biased towards Luc Besson before the personal style is determined. Too much repetition and follow-up with the French version of the original makes the film obviously in a passive position in terms of positioning. ! Although there are many exciting scenes of fighting and drag racing in the movie, it has always continued the full display of the extreme sport of parkour in the series, but the movie is only limited to the inherent content of these original works, and there is no innovation and improvement of the film plot as a screenwriter. Luc Besson is the most intolerable place! We watched this movie as if French became English dubbing. Not only was it a blatant plagiarism, it was not even as good as the original, and it did not fit into the current trend of the times. It was also a short-lived phenomenon in the torrent of movies. A grain of sand! It would be disappointing to watch this movie just to commemorate Paul Walker or to watch Luc Besson's fame! The Hollywood action and special effects scenes that you are used to watching, this movie has become a kind of bad street work. If there are people who cheekily praise its quality, it can only be said that the literary and artistic movies have been watched too much and do not understand the connotation of commercial movies! It’s not difficult to imagine why movies frequently fail in the North American film market. The audience will not pay for bad movies just to commemorate a favorite star. If there is no thing that can really touch our souls and feelings, we Nor will it give him value that he shouldn't have!
Although we can cherish the memory of Paul Walker, after all, this is his last complete posthumous work, but there is really no compliment for this movie! We do not deny that the director and actors worked very hard to create a classic Hollywood remake, but the blind copy without full consideration and repositioning is really the most sad part of the movie! After all, it takes a long time to create a classic work to discover and dig, and destroying a classic is just an irresponsible remake of the film company in pursuit of profit! We have tried very hard to adapt to the quality presented by the film, and also tried to accept the new ideas brought to us by the remake. What we cannot accept is that it is most intolerable without the slightest sincerity and tribute during the remake, especially the original director. Did not find the essence and starting point of the movie itself!
The film’s publicity in commemoration of Paul Walker as a gimmick really makes us miss the glamorous male star who died young. Of course, the film is also very exciting and gorgeous. We can’t hide the splendor of the film, but we can’t ignore the quality of the film itself. ! As an audience, we must make the most true evaluation of the movie while enjoying the movie. We cannot violate our own inner feelings just because of the moral kidnapping of the movie company! We respect Paul Walker as well as the work of filmmakers. We just hope to see better works instead of being willing to be mediocre and inactive. We hope that Luc Besson can bring us better works instead of Jane. Simply indulge in past achievements!
