When Marvel is in full swing next door, today's DC is a complete mess.
There is a saying: the superhero movie is a fairy tale for adults, but since it is a fairy tale for adults, it is at least for adults, so the whole story is more acceptable to the majority of fans, but "Thunder Shazam! " is a superhero movie that made me want to get up and leave in the middle of the movie. After all, the movie is so boring that I really can't give it a thumbs up.
In terms of film production, it can be said that after several years of development, Marvel has no problems with film production. It does not matter who the director is, because it will not affect the final quality of the film. . But it's hard to say on DC's side, from the classic beginning of Richard's "Superman", to the highlight moment of Nolan's "Batman Dark Knight", to the barely turning over of Jenkins' "Wonder Woman", and then to Wen Guicai The special effects bombing of "Sea King" and the quality of DC's superhero movies can be said to be directly related to the director's level. It is not a big problem to choose a good director, but if you choose the wrong one, the movie will really be lost. Shazam! " is one of the representatives.
△Wen Ziren and David F. Sandberg
The film's director, David F. Sandberg, made his debut by making low-budget horror films and studied under Wen Ziren. In the movie, the horror effect of some pictures is really good, but from the evaluation of the whole movie, the director's control is far from enough. I don't know whether it is a shooting problem or a editing problem. The processing and character performance in some places are not only in the The outside is not one but also mentally retarded, the story itself can't be justified, the character growth and the confrontation between the front and back are messy, and the upper and lower parts of the film are seriously fragmented.
Director, Chaoying movies pay attention to the rhythm of storytelling, not the fragmented narrative of horror movies. We can not think about the story and only need the picture in this movie, but these embarrassing happy scenes really overwhelmed the impact of the picture in minutes. , is this still called a superhero movie?
Please, shouldn't the juvenile Xiangchaoying movie be more unreliable to show the juvenile? When did sand sculpture become a mainstream word?
I have seen the "Shazam" works in the new 52 period of the comics, so I have some understanding of the general context of the story, and in "Thunder Shazam!" ", the overlap between the movie and the comics is also quite high. From Billy's growth and acquisition of superpowers, the first half of the movie basically follows the comics. In the comics, it is helpless for the wizard to give Billy superpowers, but in the movie. In , opening your mouth and shutting your mouth is the chosen one, unique. Maybe the director wants to say that all of this is destined, or that the director is too lazy to explain it, just grabs the hat and says that it is you, that you are kind and you are kind, that you are suitable and you are suitable, this part It makes people feel abrupt, and the source of this ability is too unrealistic.
Of course, the origin of Shazam's name is not as the title says. In the comics, each letter of Shazam represents an ability. S stands for the wisdom of Solomon; H stands for the strength of Hercules; A stands for the stamina of Atlas; Z stands for the magic of Zeus; A stands for the courage of Achilles; M stands for the speed of Mercury . With the power of the six gods, Billy turned into Shazam and became a hero who saves the world. Although Shazam looks like a superhero after the transformation, he is still a teenager at heart. The mind of a child makes him display humorous and funny effects in his behavior. But with such a setting, in the actual performance of the movie, humor and hilarity are replaced by vulgarity and naivety. This superhero really makes people unable to have a good impression. After all, fools have foolish blessings, but fools do not.
Anyway, it's fine to watch this movie without thinking. Don't ask why it's like this, why it's like this, just follow along and laugh. I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but the movie didn't make it clear at all.
Overall, the film is:
Low-level plot design
character growth hollow
Villain Bad Facialization
The final duel is like a joke
The duel between Shazam and the villain at the end of the movie is really the scene of a car accident. The protagonist kept shouting Shazam to transform, and then flew around. A group of people were running around in a mess, and several children surrounded the wizard's scepter and shouted sand. Likes are all superpowers, and superpowers are so easy to confer (the requirement of kindness is really an excuse to reject the villain), so what is this wizard waiting for for thousands of years? What the hell did the villain Fei Laozijin draw? Shazam finally defeated the villains without knowing it. This boring time was considered to arrange the progress bar of the movie. In the end, Shazam looked at the ball with the villains and smiled.
Under the smile, really embarrassing.
