Jiashua Thor, who was exiled to the earth by the father of the gods, Odin, bid farewell to his friends in the world and decided to retrieve the Thor's Hammer alone, which represents strength and courage. He walked into a pet store in New Mexico and shouted to the owner, "Friend, please give me a horse..." At this moment, the audience felt that this handsome muscular man with a beard and stubble was not only a veritable "Thor". It's really ridiculous to talk, but it's so cute. If the movie "Thor" has a few more moments like this, and more ridicules about his characters and plot, instead of talking about the myth of saving the world seriously, then the film may be the superhero popcorn movie of today's summer file. Make a good start.
In fact, more suitable than any film review as a reference for the audience to watch movies is another movie last year: "Iron Man". Both of the superhero movies produced by Marvel Comics, "Thor" and "Iron Man" have overlaps in character setting, plot IQ index, and target audience groups. If you are a big fan of "Iron Man", then "Thor" will definitely be your dish. Even if there are some differences in salty and light taste, you are definitely willing to go with it.
In highly mature Hollywood commercial films, products and markets are segmented. Movies adapted from comics such as "Thor" are positioned at the beginning of production for a specific group of teenagers and fans of the original comics. . Therefore, it can be seen that the characters and stories of the movie are obviously to please that kind of audience, and what is close is their turbulent and superficial desire projection. From a business perspective, this is not a problem. But when "Thor" is introduced to China as a Hollywood blockbuster, it will definitely cause a certain tragedy.
After Jiang Wen's "bullet" flew sturdily at the end of last year, Chinese movies have been silent for nearly six months. The good movies and masterpieces that people have been waiting for have not been seen for a long time, and the market is in a state of extreme hunger. In this case, any film under the banner of a Hollywood blockbuster is enough to draw audiences of different ages and gender levels into the cinema. But unfortunately, "Thor" is not the kind of Hollywood blockbuster that eats all ages, it is only suitable for some people.
The characters and story of Thor are obviously too naive for any audience over 30 years old. "Thor" is not so much an epic about a deity, but rather an infrequent, frivolous behavior. In order to prove that he is a real man, a young man who is in the developmental stage has made mistakes and suffered setbacks and walked out of the confusion of adolescence. Growth experience. What Thor experienced in the mortal world was not so much the love and friendship of adults, but rather the delusion of adolescence.
Since "Thor" positions itself as a summer popcorn movie, it is obvious that the film's main creator did not spend too much time in shaping the character's character and narrative strategy. The story of Thor is derived from Norse mythology, which may be a treasure house of myths second only to Greece in terms of richness. Whether you learn about Norse mythology through Wagner's operas or Japanese anime like "Saint Seiya", you will definitely be impressed by the distinctive personalities of those gods and the eschatological sentiments related to "Twilight of the Gods". In contrast, the "god" of the gods in Thor is very vague. Take Thor, the god of thunder. According to legend, he was known for his rage and was demoted by Odin because of his reckless behavior. It's hard to say how Thor in this film has anything to do with anger and other personalities, he just behaves frivolous and lacks brains. "Thor's Hammer", which was supposed to be a big gimmick, is also not seen in the movie. The first is that its appearance is too ordinary, and the film is not rendered enough; secondly, its role is not obvious in the process of Thundering's education. Odin said that whoever can lift Thor's Hammer can become the king of Asgar (God's Domain). At the end of the film, Thor was defeated and died by the Destroyer, but Thor's Hammer flew to him and resurrected him. It was difficult to understand the reason for this arrangement!
In the external promotion of Thor, 3D and special effects are important selling points. The Asgar Domain in the film is completely generated by computer special effects. Although technically it is not well understood and judged casually, the break of the lens language obviously compromises the special effects of the film. In the performance of Asgar's Domain, the lens often switches directly from the long-range view (the figure shrunk into a few points at this time seems to be in a miniature model) directly to the close-up view (the character occupies most of the screen at this time, and The background is blurred), lacking a mid-range that can effectively reduce and enrich the details. Because there are too many face close-up shots in the film, there is not much room for the 3D effect of the movie to play-you know, Guangguang does not need the 3D effect in order to watch the star’s face. Similarly, under the big vision lens, Everything is drawn into a flat surface, and 3D is also not required.
