2. The first 15 minutes of the film can get 5 stars. Although the characters are very stupid, the war scenes are magnificent and the special effects are also good. As a domestic film with low-tech power, it is very difficult to achieve this.
3. After the appearance of Amethyst, the film ran in the direction of mediocrity without looking back, and the special effects became worse and worse. The cartoon-like little monkey, the ugly monkey monkey grandson, and the copycat version of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. He Rundong's funny big face projection, most of the budget of the whole article is invested in the battle of the gods and demons at the beginning and the end, and the details in the middle are very bad, but for domestic movies, it is necessary to lower the requirements appropriately, and the technology is improving. , this can be seen.
4. Gods and demons represent two classes, but the film does not do enough to express the contradiction between these two classes. It beautifies the heaven and vilifies the demon world. We know that in "Journey to the West" and its derivatives, a large number of film and television works and In literary works, the most important role of Sun Wukong is a rebel and a hero of resistance (this is a little weak in Journey to the West, but I think the most exciting part of Journey to the West is before the scriptures in the West), and in "Journey to the West". In "Havoc in Heaven", Sun Wukong made a lot of mistakes, all of which were forgiven by the heavenly court (good people, those in power, the righteous party), and then deceived and used by the Bull Demon King (the bad people, the rebels, the unjust party), and then awakened and replaced the heavenly court. Killed the Bull Demon King, then voluntarily gave up his freedom, and was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain. A magnificent heroic struggle epic movie instantly became the main theme movie. The leader of the demon world, Sun Wukong, gave up his freedom, gave up Huaguoshan, and gladly accepted his destiny. This is the greatest tragedy of Sun Wukong.
5. Another flaw in this film is the voice of Sun Wukong. Maybe it is because he is used to listening to Liu Xiaolingtong's dubbing. When he heard Donnie Yen's version of Sun Wukong's voice, he felt very uncomfortable, just a eunuch with phlegm in his throat. The same sound, it sounds very uncomfortable.
6. There are not many laughs and it is not funny. In terms of funny, it is far less than last year's Conquering the Demons. Many places are funny for the sake of being funny, and the movie doesn't want the Spring Festival Gala. You can watch it while swiping Weibo, which is a lot less fun.
7. Journey to the West is the one that has been transformed into the most film and television works among the four famous novels. "Havoc in Heaven" is also considered to be a non-mainstream, focusing on the battle of gods and monsters, and downplaying the personal growth of Sun Wukong. It has appeared for a long time, but every step of his is being taught, manipulated, and finally attributed to fate. In terms of Sun Wukong's personal portrayal, this can be regarded as one of the most failed movies.
8. China's special effects team has a long way to go. Compared with this, China's screenwriter team has a longer way to go.
