The story of a civilian hero, infinite struggle

Superhero's clothing, superhero's temperament, no superpower, no matter how they feel like cosplay, but they have a genuine superhero heart. The movie continues the story of the previous episode, the male and female protagonists have grown up, and "Batman" has also withdrawn from the story, but they are still continuing their superhero work, protecting the city they love at night.


Ordinary they are destined to return to a peaceful and normal life, but that fiery and restless heart is beating all the time. The heroine is no longer the little loli, but her tender face and stubborn temper have not changed at all. The male protagonist's Sven's appearance is still sullen, and the hormones of youth need to be vented by the dress of the King of Bian. Since two people have the same goal, they hit it off and form a partner. To be precise, it should be a master-apprentice relationship. They have to "play" two ordinary middle school students at school and at home, and they have to "play" two superheros with masks. The alternate dual identities make them no longer know which is the real self and which is the life they want. . Switching between these two identities, the film presents a wonderful hilarious comedy.


From the beginning of the movie, comedy elements are everywhere, they are all scattered in the small details of the story and the dialogues (I laughed at the beginning of the movie, God, the director took so much care of me, and knew that I was not red and green weak). When the male protagonist had his first actual combat training, the violent elements of the movie appeared, and it was still bloody violence. The movie is rated 12+, this violence should be considered acceptable, and the main theme of the movie should be comedy. "Colonel Stars" (Jim Carrey) replaced "Batman" and carried the banner of the Justice League. Since it is "the comedy king of Hollywood", the movie must remain on the track of comedy. Since the main theme is comedy, the "bad guys" who appear on the scene can't pour cold water on the movie, and must be consistently funny. The head of the Evil Alliance did a great job at this point, he gave himself the nickname "MF" (no spoilers) enough to keep the laughs alive, and he racked his brains to give his members various "nickname". The Justice League took the lead, and the violent elements have always been accompanied by comedy colors.


Both the good and the bad are so hardworking and funny, the movie must be extremely exciting, but when "Soviet Aunt" appeared and killed "Uncle Stars and Stripes" two or three times, the title of "Hollywood Comedy King" really lived up to its reputation, and his departure The atmosphere of the whole movie began to become heavy, and the comedy was basically over. Although the plot was not too sensational, the change was a little too sudden. And the next plot is up for debate. When the evil alliance went to find "NB", the scene of "Soviet Aunt" killing the "police" was too violent, at least when the movie was in progress, I felt so of. Ordinary violence is fine, but large-scale blood-seeing violence is too much. The movie is not a zombie movie, so there is no need to spray so much blood. Moreover, the atmosphere of the film will be further chilled. Looking at the logo on the clothes of "Soviet Aunt", I wonder if the director intentionally portrayed her violence and ferocity?


After the cold session, the movie began to be sensational. By accident, the male protagonist's father was captured by the police during a city-wide raid, mistaken for him to be a "kickass", and killed in the revenge of the evil alliance. And the male protagonist was disheartened and decided to quit the alliance and live a normal life. However, the Evil Alliance is not going to stop there. The movie uses violent fight scenes, and the violence escalates into a bone-shattering type. I still felt that the element of violence seemed overdone and not good for the movie.


The ending of the movie begins in the big confrontation between the two alliances. The whole process can be said to be the Justice League's revenge. The winning ending can finally let the audience breathe a sigh of relief. After a long period of repression, the "good people" who have passed away can finally rest their eyes. At this time, I seem to understand why the director wants to portray the ferocity of the "bad guy" in such a way. It may be this strong contrast that makes the audience's repression more comfortable and makes the movie's revenge plot more enjoyable. And in this comfort and peace, the movie brings out its theme and point of view: those superheros have taken off all kinds of clothes and returned to their ordinary life, but their hot superhero heart has not stopped, and they are brave in seeing justice. You don't need a mask to cheer, and even wearing a formal suit will not hinder your righteous actions in the slightest. Since there are no superpowers, the task of maintaining city safety should not be handed over to just a few "hot-blooded young people", but should let the hero return to the ordinary, and let the hero live in the hearts of all people.


At the end of the movie, I remembered the applause in the theater. These applause is not only dedicated to the wonderful movie, but also to the people who are brave but unknown in life. They don't wear masks, they don't have loud nicknames and everyone's attention, but they A hero, an ordinary hero.
