A strong candidate for the altar

1 I think this is the best comic book adaptation/superhero movie (I almost missed it after reading the title and poster).

Personally think it is better than TDK, because the world view of this movie/comic is very mature (like a hacker), and it is more atmospheric than TDK.

2 Each character is profound. The god-like Manhattan, the uncompromising Rorschach, the wild and conceited pharaoh

, the righteous and the evil joker, the 2nd generation of silk ghosts with a gentle temperament, is very popular as the 2nd generation of night owls. Everyone is authentic and

individual , and it's really hard to do both. This also includes several older generation heroes.

3 The background is very good, basically covering the entire Cold War period of the United States, the assassination of JFK (MS in the film insinuates that Nixon ordered the

joker to do it), the victory of the Vietnam War, Nixon's four re-election (basically equal to dictatorship, Watergate did not happen) ), fears and fantasies

of . All this is reasonable and reasonable, and the original author's overall view is really good. Comics like this could still be published at the end

of , really. . . Not harmonious.

4-screen soundtrack. Most of the sets have a punk feeling of "SIN CITY" or "Blade Runner", dark and

cold, and with the low voice of Rorschach, it feels very good. The song and soundtrack work well with each scene, and

"300" doesn't feel that way. Finally, let's talk about the violent scenes, well, it's very "300", but with progress, a few scenes of Rorschach are

really violent, which suits my taste very well. The camera switching is very good, and the plot is not abruptly interspersed.

5 Performing, the actors are all familiar. Ye Xiao is the photographer of "Fruit Hard Candy", but he has gained a lot of weight. Rorschach is a

showman , but he hasn't seen much of the films he acted in. The only impression of Pharaoh is that of the agent

in . It is worth mentioning that the joker, Danny in GA, really looks like Robert Downey Jr.

6 Special effects, the cost of 100,000,000 points to produce this effect is very good, at least I think it is definitely

worth the money compared to "TF2" and "2018".

7 Miscellaneous talk, I don't know if there is a sequel, I hope there is not. The current evaluation is very small (that is, two-level differentiation), but this

is very good , and it has the potential to be on the altar. I learned a lot about the history of the United States and the Cold War by watching this film.

So much nonsense, tap

  • Adrian Veidt: His vision of a united world... well, it was unprecedented. I wanted... *needed* to match his accomplishments, and so I resolved to apply antiquity's teaching to our world, *today*. And so began my path to conquest. Conquest not of men, but of the evils that beset them.
