If we can't create classics, we will subvert the classics. Yes or not, it can't change this is an era that lacks originality. It can subvert the classics, and sometimes it is like flattering the audience. It is not good to accidentally shoot on the horse's leg. Havoc in Heaven is an oriental mythology movie that uses subversive methods and special effects to attract money in the Spring Festival stalls with overwhelming entertainment demand.

In recent years, there have been more and more 3D movies in China, the special effects are getting better and better, the investment and cost are getting higher and higher, the visual impact covers the content itself, and there are fewer and fewer movies that can tell a story. Even more worrying is that the vast majority of these special effects are made by foreign teams.

The movie tells the story of Monkey King (Donnie Yen), who once cultivated the seventy-two transformations with the Patriarch Bodhi, and was determined to become a fairy, but because his childhood friend Jiuwei Fox (Xia Zitong) was killed and he made a mistake with the Bull Demon King (Aaron Kwok), he regarded heaven as the enemy. . In order to let his beloved wife Princess Tie Fan (played by Chen Qiaoen) and his beloved son, Red Boy, who had been pregnant for 300 years, return to heaven, the Bull Demon King incited Sun Wukong to join forces in the heaven, and finally forced the Jade Emperor (played by Zhou Runfa) to lead Erlang God (played by He Rundong). Decoration) and other immortals to face each other, and start a series of battles between immortals and demons.

Since the creation of the world by Pangu, the two races of gods and demons have been fighting endlessly for the right to rule the Three Realms. In a protracted battle, the realm of the gods led by the Jade Emperor once again repelled the demons led by the Bull Demon King. Nuwa (Zhang Zilin), in order to avoid the rebirth of war, turned into a spar to build the Nantian Gate to defend the heaven, and one of the spar fell to the mortal world. The aura of Jutiandi transforms into a monkey, Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong worshipped the patriarch of Bodhi, and soon he was expelled from the door because of his talent but unfettered. On the other hand, the Bull Demon King pretended to give up the fight to appease Princess Tie Fan, the sister of the Jade Emperor, and secretly plotted to destroy the heaven even more...
Stones from other mountains can attack jade. After so many years of baptism in American blockbusters, we can't sit still anymore. Bringing doctrine has begun to rise again. In Eastern mythology, there are no demons that cannot be cast down by the gods, and there is no battle between the demon world and the god world. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. It can even be said that it is a good thing for the development of our film business. excellent.

Domestic movies are still far from Hollywood blockbusters. This is reflected in the grasp of rhythm and the momentary succession of the storyline. It is either too abrupt or too protracted. Although the title editing is very tall and fascinating, the little monkey and the little fox The love between the little fox and the bull demon king, the conflict between the devil world and the god world, the master-disciple relationship between Sun Wukong and Bodhi, these couples all feel like they were all taken with one stroke, and they didn't explain it clearly. It's no wonder that it is difficult to communicate without figurative feelings when the characters are placed in a virtual scene.

If you go to see this movie in 3D, you should not be too disappointed. If you go to the actors, the cast will be worth the price. If there are any additional expectations, I advise everyone to maintain a good attitude. , On the other hand, looking at the situation at the end of Havoc in Heaven, it seems to be the rhythm of the sequel, let's wait and see.
