...Not even mediocre, but the unqualified script is the culprit for the film's failure.

Although the plot can be reluctantly rounded, whether the screenwriter prefers drama or rationality, the answer is undoubtedly obvious. The Doomsday Clock not only makes Jonathan and Florence frustrated, it is actually useful without the key. As for why the key must be needed, it is obviously indispensable, only a hook. The dramatic intentions that arouse the curiosity of the audience cannot be made clearer.

Curiosity is easy to arouse, but it is not easy to maintain, and it is even more difficult to satisfy. It can be said that at least in terms of the title "Tick House", it is difficult for the heroes with headless flies to insist on buying, and the clock position The way it was finally revealed also tested the audience's tolerance, and the villain's actions in this film also reflect this flaw.

Logical loopholes of course do not mean that watching movies is boring. It is a pity that this film, which is made up of many segments that have long appeared in other movies and has no bright spots, can’t even maintain the interest in watching movies. It is full of flaws and flaws. The cliché character Arclight is not easy to shirk responsibility: Lewis steals books to resurrect the dead in order to restore friendship. It is unbelievable. It is far less touching than the confession of wanting to find his mother, but it is too late to win back the audience; the truth and truth faced by Jonathan The choice of responsibility for lies is also commonplace; Florence’s experience in World War II has unexpected results. The intertextuality with Isaac has made her the most successful characterization of the three. However, her way to reach the indomitable in the end seemed too hasty and Powerless.

Among the three actors, Vaccaro's performance was unsatisfactory, Blancchett had the usual exaggeration and a little ear-stiffness common in children's films, and Black was a perfect fit for the film's positioning, and all of them overestimated their comedic talent.

PS that big head baby may be the worst physical effect in big productions in recent years

    Cate Brecht's voice is so charming, Jack Black is so funny, other aspects are mediocre, the young man's acting is very exaggerated, and the plot is really not attractive. Is it true that Halloween is flat and bland? Too noisy.

    Eh... I don't know why... Is it because this kind of subject matter is bad?! The picture is not very stunning, let alone the plot. The Queen's acting is very rigid, and it is estimated that the humor of the performance is serious, but she always feels that something is wrong, it is very embarrassing, and the Queen is so thin that it scares people to death. Exaggerated grotesque style, the picture can not keep up. Kind of rotten.

  • [first lines]

    Jonathan Barnavelt: [writing letter] Dear Lewis: Enclosed, please find one bus ticket and two silver dollars for your trip to Michigan. I'm really sorry about the loss of your parents. Your mom was my sister, so that makes you family. And I'll do my best to make you feel right at home. As Einstein said, life is like a bicycle. To stay balanced, you got to keep moving forward. And so will we. I look forward to meeting you. Your Uncle Jonathan. PS Sorry for the stain on the letter. That's chocolate.

  • Jonathan Barnavelt: We don't know where the clock is or what it does, except something horrible. No, we gotta do the responsible thing: lie to the kid.
