"Minions with big eyes and cute" film review: heartless and stupid, there are good sentences but no good chapters

Watching "Minions" was very funny and fun at first, but after knowing the plot, it became more and more outrageous and chaotic, spoofing for spoofing, spoofing for spoofing, and funny for being slapstick, making the whole film a product of a younger age, which is simply disingenuous. to extract business profits. Hundreds of millions of dollars were earned, but this film turned into a tedious performance by the Minions. They chatted for more than an hour in a language they couldn't understand, and the quarrel was so disturbing that it made me want to travel in an instant. Back to the first episode of Despicable Me!

This film is very similar to last year's "Penguin of Madagascar". Both are films derived from classic characters from the original work. They are all about the ins and outs of classic characters, past and present lives, but this film is much more profitable than "Penguin", and the story is far inferior. , I really don't know what the screenwriters of Guangguang Entertainment are doing. At first, a group of little yellow people pretended to be stupid, killed the Tyrannosaurus rex in the lava, killed the primitive man in front of the big bear, and even saw a little bit of absurd humor, but after a long time, the stories disappeared, everyone. Think of Feng Xiaogang's classic comment "I can't see people's hearts"!

Why can't I see the "people's heart", it is purely supported by the three magic weapons of selling cuteness, accumulating jokes, and exaggerating actions. The story lacks rich and wonderful subtle details, and it will collapse! In the film, the little yellow people have become naturally servile and cute creatures. Even if they live and work peacefully in the ice and snow, they have to keep looking for evil masters to follow. This kind of motivation is very young, very mentally handicapped, and very nonsense. After Kevin, Stewart, and Bob hit the road, they began to act cute and funny. They endured cartoons, but they could accept it for the time being. Then, they accidentally met the witch Scarlett Killer, who asked them to steal the queen's crown. , the story is not right! A female devil is so capable, has super machine equipment, and can do anything in the sky, calling three little yellow people to steal? Typical shooting himself in the foot.

Intermittent, chaotic, patchwork, and BUG flooding, resulting in "Little Yellow Man" "good box office, bad reputation". When they stole the crown and made trouble in the city of London, the trick to escape from danger was actually - the sword in the stone! When a little yellow man was besieged by everyone, he just pulled the "sword in the stone", and he became the king of England with a plug-in. When the female devil found him, the solution was to rush into the palace to scare people, and just use the "magma gun" to scare people, and the little yellow people immediately abdicated to become a virtuous person, and instantly became a prisoner. Later, Kevin the Minion turned into a giant, staged a spoof battle in the "King Kong" version, and was bombed and bombed with the devil's head in his arms, and when he turned around again, he shrank! Looking back again, the female devil was frozen into an ice lump by "Little Fresh Meat" Gru. Could it be that "Minions 2" and "Despicable Me Prequel" are also being filmed? You can shoot, but the plot must not be this virtuous.

Unexpectedly, in just five years, the group of compressed, goggles, banana-yellow little people have deteriorated so thoroughly. Although it has been spoofed from ancient times to London, the "Bad Guys Exhibition", the British Royal Family, the legend of the Knights of the Round Table, and the "H Exhibition Hall" are all made fun of, "Despicable Me 2" and "Minions" are lost in a coherently completed plot . You must know that "Despicable Me" was short of funds back then. Gru stole the moon, protected San Loli, and brought a group of minions to fight, but it was a classic masterpiece full of talent. Today, "Minions" have not only become the "global cute thing" in "Despicable Me" that stole the global focus, but also let producer Chris Mellor Dandley create a magic weapon for "Illuminating Entertainment" in the world. , against Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Blue Sky and other animation teams!

The sequel needs to be creatively shot, just like "Toys 3" with whimsical adventures throughout, bringing you back to the nostalgic time, just like "How to Train Your Dragon 2" using the love of people, mothers, and pets to bring you enjoyment Popcorn entertainment, like the story of "Monster University" using the diaosi counterattack to win, will take you to appreciate that kind of powerful inspiration, but unfortunately producer Chris Melodandley is not so ambitious. I suspect that my buddy left Blue Sky Studio, something must have been messed up. Judging from "Despicable Me 2" and "Minions", the screenwriting talents of my buddies are still far from the Blue Sky team! This is called the quality of "The Secret Life of Pets", which has issued an excellent preview, and it has raised a huge question mark. Disney and Pixar are great, but not all works are impeccable. Warner's "Tom and Jerry" was able to fight for so many years, "Happy Feet" Oscar can beat "Cars", "Shrek" Oscar can beat "Monster Company" , relying on the diligent creation and research of a group of lunatic geniuses, on the other hand, the masters of "Illumination Entertainment" in the world have slack in the polishing of the script.

    In terms of selling cuteness, Hollywood far surpasses "Monster Hunt".

    There is no good trailer, but I am so happy to finally distinguish the three minions: the lead eldest brother, the tall and thin Kevin, the fat sidekick Bob, and the one-eyed Stuart, the minions sing Make'em Laugh, which is fully praised and useful. Saying sorry and thank you in Chinese is also cute. The appearance of Gru is connected to the despicable me. I will watch it again when the French version dubbed by Ma Liang and his wife comes out.
