Not that bad, certainly not that good

Compared with "Mission: Impossible 1", the biggest difference is that the film began to have hot action scenes, no longer just relying on high-tech to fight wit, but real fights one after another. Although most of the fight scenes are slightly contrived, it does not detract from the smooth viewing experience of the film. When you look at the rock climbing scene that almost dropped your jaw at the beginning of the film, you will not not be attracted by the solid muscles that Tom has shown himself in battle. Especially when Tom is on a motorcycle rampage, you will even think that this movie is too hilarious. The key is that this kind of hi also contains a lot of elements that are quite familiar to our Chinese audience: pigeons, double guns, sunglasses, windbreaker, we can see Tom under the wraps of Wu's violent aesthetics, and the wind is unstoppable. Director Wu Yusen is indeed a master of visual skills. Although he failed to experience the visual impact in the theater, the LG OLED HDTV's picture, the kind of ready-to-play lens effect, does bring a lot of visual shock. When Tom was handsomely riding his motorcycle, his deranged friend even paused to show me the LG OLED TV's dynamic image without smearing, and even pulled me forward to watch it carefully. So, hard Guang came: Sure enough! Not only the picture is clear and the colors are realistic, even the small sparks bursting out of the flames are clearly frozen on the picture, making the whole picture look very cool! Especially the few scenes where he rode a motorcycle through the shuttle, it was so handsome and cool. However, a movie can't just pursue visuals, let alone just being cool, it still has to have a solid story core. Due to the traces of "007" in many places in the film, and many scenes that are too cool, the film failed to gain a good reputation while gaining a good box office. Now, let's look at it again, and probably look at the scenes of the best shots and Tom's life-threatening "free-hand rock climbing" scenes. Anyway, it's still a good popcorn movie, suitable for watching on the sofa during the holidays.
The story of the movie is this. The super virus "Kimmela" and antibiotics were stolen by the terrorist organization leader Sean Ambrose on the way. Ethan was tasked with leading his IMF team to recover the virus. This time, Ethan found a partner with Snitch Nyah, the ex-girlfriend of Sean Ambrose. While Ethan gained Nyah's trust, the two also fell in love. However, in order to complete the mission, Ethan had to arrange for Nyah to go back undercover with Sean Ambrose. Nyah finally found out the pharmaceutical factory where the virus was located, and Ethan, who received the information, went to the pharmaceutical factory to prepare to destroy the virus; on the other hand, Sean Ambrose had already realized the real purpose of Nyah returning to him, and organized a group of people to wait for Ethan in the pharmaceutical factory. Cast the net. During the fierce struggle, Nyah injected the virus into her body in order to help Ethan Hunt complete the task. Only by injecting antibiotics into Nyah's body within 20 hours can her life be saved. Ethan kills Sean Ambrose desperately and gives nyah an antidote just in time, and the two fall in love.
The rock climbing that Tommy came up with is really exaggerated. I always thought it was the background of the green buga that was synthesized later. But with Tom's character, it's hard to imagine all this fraudulent behavior. To be honest, this film can be considered to have completed its mission. It does not seek merit, but seeks no fault. As always, the pigeons are flying all over the sky, interspersed with flying bullets and fists, because it is the real feeling of punching to the flesh in the action scenes of the Chinese director, but it is just right. Let's talk about the heroine, occupation: thief. But it's not really a beauty thief, and it looks like I'm not the type of Asian audience. Off topic: This woman's wheatish complexion is very pleasing. I do not deny that John Woo is a good movie. His violent aesthetics are indeed worthwhile, such as slow motion, speeding cars, pigeons, special villains, and the likes of Tie Han Tenderness. Indeed, many people in Hong Kong like it, and many people in the United States buy it. It's just that the rare things are seen more often, and they are not rare anymore, and the good things are overused and they are rotten. So what I want to say is, in fact, this movie, director John Woo stumbled. After watching this movie, the only thing left in my mind is: handsome. I don't know if it's the director's request or Tom's request, but anyway, it was full of handsome elements from the beginning to the end, slow motion flooding, long hair fluttering, no seat belts in the American Grand Canyon, hard rock climbing with bare hands, motorcycle speed, Hong Kong One-on-one, what, hey, I'm tired of it... What's worse is that it's not harmonious. Anyone who has seen Mission Impossible knows how important a mask is. I think John Woo also understands, so he used masks many times in this movie, not only for Tom, but also for villains, you I use it for everyone, everyone uses it, it's really easy to use, the mask, it's really good. I saw that I was about to vomit, and a good idea was just wasted. Around 2000, it should be when digital cameras just became popular, so we were fortunate to see what digital cameras were like at that time. In fact, these electronic products caused by the time factor seem to be relatively backward now, and they should not be used by me to complain. After all, time-travel was not popular at that time, but there is one place that is remarkable, that is that 32m large-capacity memory card, the massive photos stored in it turned out to be full HD. The heroine just had a car ride with Tom, and she fell in love with him with all her heart. Wouldn't it be a little sloppy? In the Mission Impossible series, because they are all impossible tasks, those desperate scenes are indispensable. In fact, in this series, there are also a few scenes that are quite tense, such as when stealing a memory card. movie one The beginning has nothing to do with the plot, it's really high. It's just for being cool. Pigeons, it's time for pigeons, John Woo's iconic pigeons, I'm just curious? Why do people use pigeons in the confidential place of negotiation? Why did Brother Tom get out of a few pigeons while fighting? It's not a church, and it's not a sacred place. It can't be compared with the violence of the movie. There are some and only ones. It's just nonsense.
