This is actually quite appropriate in many sequel movies, but it would be unfair to describe "Avengers 2". If you must continue to use Guo Degang as an analogy, then the difference between the two "Avengers" is at most the cross talk performed by Guo Degang and Yu Qian, and the difference between Guo Degang and the cross talk of other people's partners.
The premise of this is to admit that there is indeed a certain gap between "Avengers 2" and the previous work. This is not the fault of "Era of Ultron". On the contrary, in terms of action scenes, special effects level, rhythm control, narrative advancement, and even characterization and emotional clues, "Era of Ultron" has achieved the best of its kind. Far beyond the level of business giants should be.
It’s just that "Avengers 1" is really awesome, the third global box office in history, the first gathering of passionate heroes from the audience, and the big layout of Marvel movies that can be written into any marketing textbook, all make this movie Beyond the category of general commercial blockbusters, it has become a phenomenal existence. As a sequel, you can only fill in more details on the original successful elements, or add a few characters to avoid losing the freshness. Such small repairs and small supplements naturally cannot fully satisfy the audience's growing appetite.
"Era of Ultron" is still directed by the previous film director Weiden, and still inherits the image style of the previous film-the flying post-modern action scenes, the male bulging breast muscles and the curvilinear modeling features, the humorous embellishment of gag, humor, and more. The rich visual feast brought by the changing scenes. And these are almost all the factors needed for a good popcorn movie. Therefore, if you don't walk into the theater with the high expectations of admiring a peerless masterpiece, you should be able to get a pleasant and exciting movie-watching experience.
But as the finale of the second stage of the Marvel Universe, "Era of Ultron" has a higher pursuit. In addition to paving the way for the third stage, the creators also hope to create some less "popcorn" "Content. In this regard, Marvel Studios has had a successful case of "Captain America 2", but unlike the "American Team" that integrates political thrillers, the choice of "Era of Ultron" seems to be a heavy paradigm like "Batman". . The superpower of the Scarlet Witch brings out the deepest historical shadow or fear hidden in everyone's heart, which brings out the dark history and inner drama of the characters. This may be a good choice in other movies. The problem is that the "Ultron Age" The plot density does not have much space to provide a stage for the unfolding of the inner drama. Many content worthy of deep exploration is superficial, and this kind of effort to provide depth to the film has become a superfluous superfluous.
In addition, the six heroes of the founders of the reunion have already tested the director's ability in group dramas, and the three new super-powers of Fast Silver, Vision and Witch in this film undoubtedly make the difficulty of geometric progression. Increase. This also led to the breakdown of the balance between characters in the narrative process, especially in the multi-line advancement. The performance of the three rookies was not as good as expected, and Thor and Hulk tended to be marginalized in many cases. In the setting of the villain, although the final BOSS of this game is dangerous and powerful enough, it is not a man-made thing of flesh and blood compared to Loki, who is rich in history, has a distinctive character, and has a personal charm of both righteous and evil. Ultron always feels that the taste is so bad. And Ultron’s original intention of destroying all mankind in exchange for world peace is also mixed with Revenge and self-proving to lead the wolf into the room than Rocky, which lacks the basis of the audience's emotional identification.
The above are the shortcomings in the literary drama, and in the action scenes, it is certainly worthy of majestic and enthusiastic comments. However, in recent years, superhero movies have emerged in endlessly, and audiences who are used to big scenes will inevitably have some aesthetic fatigue, and "Ultron Age" Although there are some small innovations in the action design, the overall situation has not broken through the old framework, which is more than lively and lack of surprises.
Of course, these criticisms are not intended to block the pace of the judges going to the cinema. On the contrary, the author firmly believes that this is a movie that can definitely be worth the price of the movie-except for the old problems of domestic 3D that has always been dark and long-standing. Hei Chuxiang's translation outside.
What I want to express is that the above shortcomings determine that "Avengers 2" is such a type of film-if you have a critical point of view, you can find various defects from it, but if you are purely in a mood of enjoyment Sitting in the theater, you can find enough fun from it to spend more than two hours without being boring at all.
Compared with the sci-fi craze in the 1980s and the action craze in the 1990s, Hollywood today is still an era when superheroes dominate the world. However, there are talents from generation to generation. No matter which type of movie, there will always be some. In glorious moments and lonely times, superheroes are no exception. In the foreseeable future, as DC gradually wakes up and joins the battle group, the superheroes may still be able to shine for a while, but the audience will always get bored. On that day, it may be the day when the Justice League’s dominance will be effective, or it may be when the third stage of the Marvel Universe is slowly falling.
Even earlier.
In any case, "Era of Ultron" made me spend a very pleasant movie time, and all the new works in the Marvel project, whether it is the volume of "Doctor Strange", the main beauty hero "Captain Marvel", or the death The "Avengers 3" that Master Ba finally appeared on the scene must be in my movie-watching plan.
And it is IMAX+3D, a must.
Isn't this true love yet?
