is the first box office productivity! Although the Minions are just a soy sauce trick in the "Despicable Me" series, their cute and cute appearance has attracted more fans than the protagonist Gru. Unexpectedly, it set off a box office frenzy. The domestic box office reached 330 million, and the overseas box office exceeded 1 billion, creating a new box office high that the "Despicable Me" series has never reached, and the recent hit in mainland China will continue to push up. With this figure, the film has basically locked the king of the global animated film box office in 2015. But in all fairness, the script level of "Minions with Big Eyes" is actually far inferior to the "Despicable Me" series. The creativity is mediocre, the stories are clichéd, and the stories are not very exciting. New trick. However, the invincibility of the Minions has created a situation of "bigger than people". The unique "dumb and cute" attribute alone can make the audience turn a blind eye to the various defects and deficiencies of the film.
In the "Despicable Me" series, Minions were originally robots made by the big bad guy Gru using mutant DNA, fatty acids and mashed bananas. But since Minions have an exclusive big movie, their origins have also been reshaped based on the attributes of "evil + pit father". In the description of the opening paragraph of the film, the minions were born on the earth as early as ancient times. They have the innate genes to follow the "big bad guys", and follow the steps of the evolution of the species to all kinds of "big bad guys". "Moe attributes" often trigger "pit father skills", so that the "big bad guys" such as Tyrannosaurus rex, primitive man, Egyptian pharaoh, vampire, etc. they follow all the way are "not good to die". The interestingness of this Minion "history of the pit father" can be said to be the first to catch people's attention, and it immediately ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie. But this is the most interesting paragraph of the whole film, and there is no such rhythmic and interesting bridge in the subsequent main plot.
Minions walked to the front desk, and Gru, the protagonist of the "Despicable Me" series, was about to step aside. In addition to letting the young Gru appear at the end to play soy sauce to connect the film's timeline with the "Despicable Me" series, "Despicable Me" series It can be said that Minions With Big Eyes is a prequel movie that is completely independent of the Despicable Me series, and the story and characters are all newly created. The film locks the main characters into three distinct characters, namely the ambitious "ordinary youth" Kevin, the "literary youth" Stewart who loves eating and music, and the passionate and incompetent "two-strength youth" Bob. , the three embarked on the road of "looking for the big bad guy" in order to save the group. The film also created a new female villain character "Scarlett Killer", making her the target of Minion's life. This role also specially invited Oscar actress Sandra Bullock to dub, Bullock is domineering Queen Faner's voice and her strong popularity in the current film industry have also become extra points for the film.
"Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes" is not lacking in character, but it is lacking in story level. It is just a combination of old-fashioned bridges and conventional routines. The rhythm is also relatively bad, and it does not have a 90-minute film length. The ability to consistently engage and entertain audiences. The main storyline was a bit slow at the beginning, and the plot of the Minions in New York was nothing to watch. It wasn't until the plot entered the "Villain Conference" in Orlando and the big villain "Scarlett Killer" appeared, which became a little interesting. , and at this time it has been half an hour since the beginning of the film. Subsequent plot advancement and character shaping have exposed the huge gap between this film and the "Despicable Me" series. First of all, the character fullness of "Scarlett Killer" can't be compared with "The Big Bad" Gru. The film is just designed for her crazy act of stealing the Queen's crown to make up for the psychological shadow of being bullied in her childhood and put on the crown to become a princess. The psychological motivation of the character, there is no more richness of the characters. The character's charm is obviously not as good as Gru, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, bad and loving. In addition, Gru and the three adopted little girls in the "Despicable Me" series also have the attributes of a warm and warm family film, which is also the role of "Scarlett Murderer" and "Minions with Big Eyes" What this film does not have, also directly causes the film to lose the emotional and moving advantages of the "Despicable Me" series.
Although the characters of the three Minions have different personalities, the film does not create enough interest and laughter in terms of differentiated characters. The most impressive thing about the three Minions is their common "stupid" attribute . Secondly, the plot aspect has completely lost the excellent creativity of the "Despicable Me" series - the minions were sent by "Scarlett Murderer" to steal the Queen's crown, and as a result, the minion Bob was by accident. Pulled out the sword in the stone, became the king of England, and then passed the throne to "Scarlett Killer", then screwed up her coronation ceremony, was chased by all the villains, and finally Kevin the Minion Become a Godzilla-level "Rhubarb" and start the ultimate showdown with "Scarlett Killer" - the casualness and brainless level of the plot is almost the same as Hollywood's inferior "idiot comedy". Moreover, the film can only create some excitement of chasing and fighting to fool the audience, and its performance in comedy is really lackluster. In addition, the occasional appearance of the "alien language" of Minions in the "Despicable Me" series makes people feel very interesting, but the whole film of "Minions with Big Eyes" is this "alien language". Enough to make people feel tired and tired.
In the final analysis, the problem with this film is that the producer Universal Pictures has too strong a mentality to monetize the popular IP, and the film was launched in a hurry without creating a wonderful script, speculating to make money, resulting in the various "Little Yellow People". In terms of quality can not be compared with the "Despicable Me" series. It's just that because the world's film industry is in the "cute era", "dumb and cute" characters such as the robot Dabai in "Super Marines" and the tree Groot in "Guardians of the Galaxy" have easily captured a large number of fans and contributed to the film. Gathering the supreme popularity, the Minions who also have the attributes of "stupid and cute" attract countless fans, thus making the film a huge box office. Such a situation can only congratulate Universal Pictures for its success in making money. Can the sequel to "Yellow Man with Big Eyes" still be so lucky. (Text / Levin) For
