This is a movie that is very different from what I originally expected, so disappointment accounts for most of it. Because I personally like the Men in Black series very much, I didn’t hesitate to watch it when I saw the recommendation of the movie that it was similar to Men in Black, but apparently the underworld police are totally useless when it comes to the completion of the movie script. Special effects film.

I remember the last time I watched Sex and the City, some people said that China should also learn to accept the protagonist with imperfect character, so, although I dislike the protagonist very much, I am not going to just criticize him. First of all, he is a relatively capable policeman. He was fooled by his partner and he greedily hid some drug lord's gold, and then he felt that he shouldn't be killed by his partner. After his death, he was assigned to an old cowboy as a partner. This old cowboy was originally a lone wolf, and he decided to teach the male lead how to do things with his hard-headed lips, but the male lead himself had been a policeman for fifteen years, making him very stubborn about some things he cared about. Because of the persistence of the male lead, the two rely on investigating this golden fragment that can open up the underworld, resolve conflicts and save the world, and by the way help the nostalgic male lead escape. The man in the middle made me very angry when he scolded the old cowboy. He felt that he was really stubborn and uneducated. Therefore, the relationship between the man and the hero did not touch me, but made me feel that this man was really unacceptable.

This is a story of two people saving the world. Although there is an entire underworld police station, there is nothing else in the movie. Just these two people, without any help from other people in the police station, bombed countless bad guys at the police station. It was the grand plan of catching sacrifices that was defeated, which is incredible.

The only setting I like in the movie is that the two of them will appear in another image on the earth, and the old cowboy is a big beauty, and the protagonist is a Chinese old man, but one thing is more peculiar: their image on the earth and themselves Irrelevant. It is embodied in inconsistent expressions and inconsistent actions. Perhaps in order to keep improving, the image of the earth will automatically fit the personality. For example, the old cowboy will stand normally and the beautiful woman will throw her hair to exude charm, the actor will frown while the old man will smile, and so on. I don't know if it was set up on purpose or for the sake of comedy. Anyway, it can only be seen here.

    Imitation is good. . .

    Although the combination of old and new has been reduced to a formulaic movie gimmick, the configuration of Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds and Oscar veteran Jeff Bridges is still eye-catching. The latter is highly capable of spit and cannonballs, and does not use yellow jokes to pile up cheap jokes to a certain extent, which maintains the integrity of the film, but except for the two leading actors' costume changes and T-Bag egg-like appearances, they are always indifferent. to the point.
