Personally, I don't love Donnie Yen's movies. After going from Jin Yiwei and special status, I think it is undoubtedly scary when an actor transforms into a character who has control over filmmaking. For the shaping of the film, it is bound to integrate into their own understanding. Especially the special identity can be described as Donnie Yen's one-man show. The marginalization of other characters has caused the whole film to lose what it should have. In one sentence, the movie is that Donnie Yen is flying!
Fortunately, Donnie Yen also noticed this problem and did not participate too much in the production of the characters or the script of the film. In this film, Wang Baoqiang has been given a lot of scenes, and it has created a crazy martial arts. Although there are still some problems in acting, each character is also weakened. Although the plot has changed from the special status of the upper part or the havoc in the heavenly palace, it is still not outstanding. work.
But what do we need for an action popcorn movie?
It's nothing more than good play and wonderful action, and this movie does it without a doubt.
Several fights have been designed ingeniously, from boxing to kicking and grabbing weapons. . Undoubtedly, the mainstream Chinese kung fu has been fully expressed. Especially at the end, the duo battle in the traffic flow, the two sides tossing and turning in the traffic flow, very imaginative. In the past few years, the fighting style of actual combat has become popular in action films. Donnie Yen not only carried it forward in this film, but also incorporated many fighting action designs of the performance nature in the past. The authenticity and performance style of viewing are eye-catching. The cameo appearances of many new, middle-aged and old Hong Kong action actors and martial arts make the whole film full of tribute and nostalgia, and make every fight can be presented to the audience at a super-standard level. After all, professional warriors can fight better play out.
Although most of these are designed in the eyes of connoisseurs, and there may not be a professional fuse, but the viewing level is far superior to the previous work, and how many of the audience who walk into the cinema are real connoisseurs? It's nothing more than taking a break from the heavy life in the cinema, as long as you play beautifully, that's enough.
If you want to watch an epoch-making masterpiece or an annual masterpiece, martial arts alone is not suitable, but if you just want to spend a lonely night with a few cans of beer, this is undoubtedly a good choice.
