A rare qualified domestic animation for many years

I watched the screening last Sunday morning. To put it simply, from

an objective point of view, of course there are many immature points. If you want to criticize, you can write 10,000 to 20,000 words.

But rather than criticism, this film should be encouraged and done with sincerity. And conscience is already [passed] - for domestic animation, [passed] has long been a distant word...

First of all, it should be emphasized that the positioning of this film is [children's], we may feel that Sun Wukong At least before meeting Tang Seng, it should be a monster full of resentment and twisted mind (that's right, Wukong Biography), logically speaking, this is also very reasonable, but we think so, probably because it has contaminated too much adult world The mundane things (then we call it depth), but for children, the Monkey King in their minds is definitely not like this. The Monkey King in this film should be closer to the image in the minds of children,

but on the other hand, This film is a bit too high for Sun Wukong, it is already close to Superman's kind of absolute justice hero, but the Sun Wukong in the original work has always been a chaotic neutral to good (or chaotic good to neutral) image, probably because I first watched Journey to the West The memory is closer to the original work. When I was a child, I never regarded Sun Wukong as a righteous hero at all... Of course, this is within the scope of an acceptable adaptation.

In addition, this film does one thing very cleverly: a limiter is used to seal the Sun Wukong including the stick. All abilities, in most of the time, monkeys can only rely on [Taiju] to fight, so we only need to describe a [kind-hearted 2B youth who knows martial arts], which greatly reduces the difficulty

. The following are fragmentary complaints:

1. In terms of style All kinds of WOW visual sense (sometimes even at the production level), there is no way... As for the long-term problems such as hair and water, don't mention it...

2. At the beginning, the battle of heaven and earth was well done, then This kind of momentum has been shown, VS Giant Spirit God, VS Four Heavenly Kings, VS Nezha, VS Yang Jian, all these should have (and these are not absolutely necessary in the plot, so it is very conscientious), but this section may be The first thing to do is the roughest part in the whole film. In addition, I personally think that the miscellaneous soldiers are a little less. If the background is full, the momentum will be better.



3. Except for the Boss, there is only one kind of enemy, which is rather monotonous. It may be to save modeling I don't need to say more.

5. The white dragon is purely used as a savior. Except for Deus ex Machina, it has nothing to do with the plot. Of course, we all know what's going on, and it may be the foreshadowing of the next part. As far as the film is concerned, this is the only obvious flaw in the plot (some people say that the plot of Bai Long was cut out in the 30 minutes?)

6. There is an obvious tribute to the Westward Journey. As for the Legend of Wukong, look at the beginning of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals Zhan, if you say that the director has not seen it, at least I don’t believe it.

7. Music and visual design have introduced many traditional drama elements. This approach has greatly improved the appreciation effect. Sure enough, Journey to the West requires traditional drama elements to have flavor. , a lot of Journey to the West works are bad here.

In short, this movie is worth watching. If you have time, go to the cinema to support it.

    Just because it's not easy, so don't flatter it. It is what it is.

    I really don't like this kind of viral propaganda. Before the release, a bunch of people brainwashed on major websites, how good the movie is, crying like a dog, the official has no money to promote it, it's so pitiful, and it's emotional...causing the Herd effect, so people have no idea. Brain help with publicity. In fact, this movie is a monotonous plot, with average pictures, suitable for young people and Samsung benchmarks.
