good hollywood comedy

A new type of Hollywood type film, also with British elements, comical criminals, and new ideas interspersed in the typed arrangement, I can't help but think of "Ace Agent" in many places, although it does not have the unique visual style of Ace Agent, but it is more Compared with other comedy films with a similar creative style, this film is more attentive. With a little attention, it can be seen that the creators have made great efforts to reduce the difficulty of understanding by the audience. Most obviously, fairy tale-like special effects are used for transitions between each scene in this film, so the cartoon-like processing method can undoubtedly minimize the efforts of the audience to understand the new scene. The same method can be used in "Shocking". I saw it in "The Devil's Squad", but it was too stylized there, but it affected the audience's understanding. The operation of eliminating the audience's understanding and effort can also be seen in many places in the film. The characters are very obvious. When the villain appears, Even if nothing is created out of nothing, the villain must unscrupulously smash the light bulb to break it for the audience; adult sex turns into a comic about beard disputes between little boys and girls; in the first half of the film, almost every action of the characters is narrated Let's explain... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, every bullet can't hurt anyone, every sexual cue can't teach a kid, and the whole movie doesn't need to use your brain (link) The reversal of the game is explained by the protagonist’s narration if I don’t understand it!), I think it can be used for the New Year as long as a few elements are changed. The most worth mentioning is Johnny Depp's British image. The novelty of the character design and his unique and funny performance are reminiscent of Steve Martin in "The Pink Panther". In the middle, his performance back to California is simply smashing. , the director's personal hatred of shellfish also has a sense of Seth MacFarlane's nonsense, the level of the old stalk's new use is close to the recent "Lego Movie", but more admirable than "Le" is that this is still a movie A wit movie about spies, thieves, and terrorists. The effort to turn such a subject into a convincing, warm and funny family movie is much more complicated than playing with toys. Too much entertainment will turn into "knight&day" "that would be nondescript, and it would be nothing new to be too action-oriented today (a monstrous action movie like "Mission Impossible" is sunset), so I think the film's approach to the story is a clever balance.
Of course, this does not mean that the film has become stubborn and muddy. The plot of the film has been carefully crafted. The first three-quarters of the story is the protagonist's backtracking, and the backtracking part has its own complete origin- Conflict-climax-end, the last quarter opens a new climax and ending, and finally ends with the same multi-clues as before into a full-width decisive battle group show, the protagonist finds his true love, and just like his transition, the plot of the film It’s easy to catch people without thinking, no matter from the details or the whole, the final level of the work is enough to make this movie get a better evaluation than other Hollywood counterparts, and the industrial level and proficiency in the movie reflected in it is worth learning. , so, if you go to the cinema to relax with popcorn and prepare for an evening date, this kind of movie is the best.

    Except for the director's soundtrack, it should be a good film

    Two stars for Ewan. The plot without any jokes, the pretentious Depp is really embarrassing
