I only gave two stars. Everyone, please don't spray me. If this movie is put ten years ago, I have to give it more than three stars, but in 18 years I really can't give it three stars.
Since it comes to the subject of sharks, I have to mention the great white shark of Mr. Spielberg. At that time, there was no cg technology for hanging and bombing the sky. Sharks were all made by models, but the old man is the great guide after all. Three distinctive characters were created on the boat, the vigilant sheriff, the skilled artisan who likes to be better than scars, and some biologists who are not as funny as the scars, and the three men played a shark hunting scene. The witty and fun, coupled with the classic soundtrack to set off the thrilling atmosphere of the sharks. The characterization of Megalodon is mainly manifested in Guo Da’s personal heroism. When the protagonist and his group set out to find Guo Da in Thailand, I knew the next steps. The emotional line around Guo Da was The ambiguous relationship between him and Li Bingbing is actually quite interesting in this scene. For example, Fan Bingbing used his hand to play with Guo Da, or Guo Da blinked his eyes to be cute, but that was all. The movie becomes interesting.
The monster movie itself does not pay attention to the plot, mainly watching monsters. Because of the development of cg technology, these years have been the era when monster-themed movies have flourished. Megalodon is really sorry for the current movie technology. I was shocked when I saw the overwhelming Zerg crawling around in "Star River Fleet" at the earliest. Later, Peter the Great's King Kong vs. Tyrannosaurus scene made my eyes look straighter. Then selling copies and allowing Transformers to appear in the real world, the details of the original deformation can really be photographed with the sound of mechanical friction. Later, there were the Avengers and Star Wars. The air battle scenes of those rushing spaceships flying around were not exciting. Later, King Kong and Godzilla also came to join in the fun. At this time, I was already a little tired and tired. The appearance of the Luo Ji world made me more interested, because dinosaurs are not illusory, they exist. At this time, I have to mention the movie Behemoth Fury. This movie is not excellent, but it is true that Dwayne Johnson is carrying an RPG to fight a monster in this movie, which is not common in monster movies.
Because sharks live in the sea, the shooting environment is limited, which greatly limits the appearance rate of monsters. Now I want to talk about the reasons for giving two stars:
1. Megalodon is really not a rare monster. In the first episode of Jurassic World, blue dragons and mutant dragons appear.
2. There are only two monsters in the whole movie: in fact, both sharks are one kind of shark, and there are two or more monsters in the current monster movie.
3. Monster battle: There are three monster battles in the movie. The small shark is killed by the big shark, the whale is bitten by the big shark into two parts, and the octopus is killed by the shark. Each of these three monster battles is not More than fifteen seconds, compared to the epic monster duel in "King Kong", "Raging Behemoth" and "Pacific Rim", "Megadon" is really insignificant.
4. Monsters vs. Army: Most movies show scenes with themed monsters of human legions. For example, Godzilla or King Kong were bombed by fighter jets, and Megalodon was swept by the machine gun on the helicopter, and the one that was bombed by explosives It's a whale. (This one is unfair to megalodons, because the sharks are too weak)
5. Threat value: Any monster has a threat value, such as destroying the universe, destroying the earth, and destroying human beings. The threat value of megalodon is the human being on the shark beach. This megalodon qualified.
6. Tragic value: Most monsters have a tragic background, which makes the monsters look more emotional, such as King Kong who is in love with human women, gorillas who are friends with Dashi Johnson, and Velociraptor who is friends with Xingjue , The tragedy of megalodons lies in the greedy hunting of them by humans. This megalodon qualified.
7. Mortals vs. monsters: This kind of scene is not common in monster movies. Most movies use robots and missiles or other materials that monsters fear to defeat monsters. Examples of such scenes include the wizard prince in the Lord of the Rings climbing and jumping to kill. City elephants, Superman kills the day of destruction, violent giants Johnson vs. Crocodiles, Transformers Optimus Prime Pyramids vs. Hercules, Megalodons including Guo Da vs. Megalodons are considered qualified.
8. Scenes: The scenes here are divided into two categories. The first category is destructive scenes of monsters, such as destroying a few planes, knocking down a few houses, and killing a few special soldiers. Megalodon destroyed about four strategic small submarines in the movie, a large nuclear submarine, and a cruise ship size. It killed four protagonists and bit some civilians on the shark beach. The combat power was not bad. The second category of scenes refers to movie scenes. The so-called scenes are either the end of the world, if it is an alien, or an isolated island, or a whole city, the megalodon can only swim in the sea due to physical limitations, so the scene is just like that. Right, the director didn't take the beauty of the sea either. Without mentioning the beauty, at least there must be a sense of fear, right? But I can't feel it.
9. Real heroes: More or less real heroes will appear in monster movies, that is, the role that protects everyone from running to attract enemy firepower. Megalodon has fat Asians and kind doctors, so they are qualified. (This article is optional).
In this way, megalodons still accounted for several. Shark has always been a classic monster character. In recent years, this theme has almost been badly filmed. The Megalodon movie is one of the clear springs. If there were no Li Bingbing or Guo Da, and not under the guise of Sino-US co-production, this movie Can there be such a high degree of attention?
