Why do I think Busan Walk (Zebo Speed ​​Train) is so ordinary

Under the push of my friends, I watched this Korean "sacred work". Maybe my expectations were too high. Generally speaking, this is a normal movie. If it is purely entertaining, this is a passing film. If you simply say that this is a movie that cannot be done by Chinese movies at this stage, I don't think it is too much. If you simply talk about shooting, framing, etc., this movie is also OKAY. But for God, 8 points or more, I think it's a bit exaggerated. This film should be the same as its prequel Seoul Station, 6 points above and below.

1. Stereotypes (Stereotypes)
This is what I can't stand the most. As a horror mystery film, if all the characters are stereotypes like this, it would be really boring. Let's put it this way, from the beginning of this film, everyone knew that pregnant women and girls would be fine. The hero's character design is destined that he will definitely die, and his humanity will get the greatest redemption. It is exaggerated to say that he will die with glory and worthy of death! The big bad guy, there is no principle, but the brain is bad, bad in death, and bad until the last second, to realize the great explosion of the hero's image. Other soy sauce travelers are no-brainers, and are passers-by regardless of right and wrong, but "black and white". Although they are stupid, they can be said to be one stop on the "white team" and the "black team". The difference between these people and zombies is basically the difference between gnawing and not gnawing. And those zombies that run fast and are hard to beat... These are the most straightforward Stereotypes. There are almost all kinds of stereotypes in this film, which makes me feel embarrassed to watch it all the time.

2. Irrationality
-Run.
As zombies, I think they are a failure. Running so fast, you just can't catch the protagonist. Whether it's holding or pregnant with a child, it just can't be caught anyway. In the final stage of running, there is a logic-the protagonist runs faster than the train, so that they can catch up with the train-the protagonist also runs faster than the zombie, so that they can escape smoothly. Then I was surprised, how did the zombies catch up with the train and flick behind them, but they didn't catch up with people? They run fast and slow, the train runs fast and slow, or does our protagonist run to new heights? Is it just for the blunt male lead to kick the zombie?

-Cute reaction
The director is really not idle on this. All the people are in a cute state, especially the train driver. Dear, will the human brain speed up its operation in an emergency? If you must say, everyone was blinded at first, okay, but people will Snap out of it! It won't be cute forever! That high school boy, he's stupid as soon as he sees his teammates. Just being cute is enough. Will your brain not let you be cute? Also, until the last fight, only the male protagonist was struggling to resist? The other two are just so cute I'm so scared of? Don't you go up and kick? Don’t you know how slow the bad guys die? All kinds of deliberately slow reactions to deliberately make viewers nervous. With such a low-cost measurement, our vast audience of zombie films has long been numb, and it made me embarrassed and cancerous.

-No-brained lunchbox + No-motivated big bad guy.
Needless to say, why is he so bad and why? What is his motivation? And other people listened to him stupidly and obeyed. What's the motive?

3. Fancy fighting
this film, you run, you run, you run again. You tear, you tear, you tear again. Enough! There are so many fancy and blunt fights. I actually like clever fighting scenes. Well, I can only say that you didn't arrange them well...

4. Deliberately sensationalize
and insert a lot of Dramatic clips. Obviously, the director wants to add a lot of humanity elements and wants to improve the film. It is not just a horror film about running zombies, it is disciplined. But it's blunt, really blunt... Including the part that the girl sings at the end, does it have to be sung to be rationalized? Does it have to be sensational? Is this the praise of long-lost love?

Well, it’s the first time to write a film review. In this summary, in such an era when zombie movies are popular and covered with large and small screens, this is just a movie based on Hollywood movie routines, with a little cleverness in the scenes, and a few humanities. Elemental, too long ordinary movie.
