Donnie Yen’s time has come

The film reviews that are not righteous are just afterthoughts.
The first thing I want to say is that I like this movie a bit. I originally wanted to give Samsung a half, but I didn't have the choice, so I added another half, because this movie satisfies a little bit of my fantasies about knights when I was a child. I know that there are many scoldings in this movie, and the reasons are concentrated on the bad scriptwriter, Wu Zunlei, Tuotuo and others. In fact, I think the current movie fans are too mean. They always use the glorious period of Hong Kong martial arts as the standard. Everyone knows that the past is good, but the big environment is already like this.

In fact, I think it is easy for most of these Hong Kong directors to kill the mainland directors. I remember someone once said that Hong Kong directors were still a bit uncomfortable in the early days when they went north, and the film they produced was a bit crappy. But when they come back to their senses, many directors in the mainland are not their opponents at all. At least they have a gap between mainland directors in operating this commercial film model. I agree with this sentence.

Come back and talk about this movie.

1 The unavoidable thing in the whole film is of course Donnie Yen. His time has finally come. He has real kung fu and has been through it for many years. Back when Jet Li and Brigitte Lin were popular, he always played strong contradictions in movies. Now I can finally take the position. I think it is not easy. You must know that many actors with kung fu are still struggling in the third line.

It is well known that Yen Zidan is good at martial arts, and now he also has the potential to be a literary and martial artist. Everyone would like to see a knight who has children's love in addition to the sword, light and sword. Although the affection is a condiment, it is very motivating for him to go to the next level. Hope he can continue to carry forward in the future. Only then can such a group of people continue to have nympho and YY objects.

2 Zhao Wei has a lot of fans, and I actually like her a lot. But her acting skills still make me dare not compliment. The lively and cheerful part is OK, but when it comes to the sensational moment, her expression is really very good. . . I am a little anxious for her. She is thirty years old. The actresses in the mainland like Zhou Xun don't want to take the trophy anymore. Li Bingbing also won an award this year, and his status immediately increased. There is also Fan Bingbing. Although she doesn't like her, she is beautiful and ambitious. There is no doubt that she will be in the top position in the future. I always feel that Zhao Wei has some snacks and it is not here. I don't know if the pregnancy happened this time. If it is true, maybe being a good wife and mother is the life she yearns for.

3 Xu Zishan's role is very eye-catching. She was originally a second-line actor of TVB, but her boyfriend is director You Naihai, who took advantage of this relationship to play roles in many Hong Kong movies. It is said that this time off was also because Li Rengang looked for her because of You Naihai's face. The tricks of Jin Chan's escape from the shell are very interesting. The name Tutuo was made fun of when watching the movie, but it was already a victory to achieve the eye-catching goal. And I like the little ambiguity that she fell into Donnie Yen's arms at the last moment.

4 The last thing I must say is the theme song sung by Sa Dingding, which is great. It is a pity that Sa Dingding and her agent are too low-key. The publicity has started for so long, and there are few manuscripts related to the theme song. When other blockbuster movies are released, related and unrelated people are eager to get involved in order to increase the exposure rate, but they have not seen any movement, which is a pity.

And Wu Zun, I think he is also aggrieved. Others say how thunderous he is in Mandarin and how thunderous his lines are, and the focus is all on his exposed umbilical outfit. To be fair, in the blockbuster movies over the years, there are definitely not a few lines that are more thrilling than him. At least it was much better than Fang Zuming's lines in Mulan. I don't think this film is great, but it's definitely not bad. Wu Zun's lines are not good, but they are definitely not a thunder. And people who like it will like it. I personally hope that the box office will be good. Too many bad movies are worth hundreds of millions. If this movie doesn't make it, it will be too shameful.

    Fine art photography and martial arts are all top-notch, and the story would be better if it is smoother

    The screenwriter did not take the audience's IQ into account
