In 2017, a hi film was released. As a hi film, it is definitely a very popcorn-oriented movie, and it is still a movie that is very popular with audiences.
That's right, it's Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle
However, many critics have given negative reviews to the film.
Because he's not high enough? Not enough effects? of course not
Because of the director, because of the previous film
Now let's talk about the director of the film, Matthew Vaughn
In my opinion, this director is still a very playful director. Many of his movie ideas are unexpected and amazing. Just like his original work "Stardust", this movie makes me feel a kind of adult. In the world of fairy tales, as we all know, fairy tales are generally not loved by adults, because they are outdated and not suitable for adults to read
But this Stardust perfectly presents an adult-style fairy tale. In my mind, it quickly became the most romantic and the most beautiful fantasy movie. It combines the director's own humorous cells and control. The emotional way of the audience that made our two hours the happiest two hours
Of course, what he is best at is the one-stop action scene, like the nonsensical superhero movie "Kai Bian Wang" has become a very cool movie, and also presents a cool super-killing female image and has Xiang Haibian King-like pure goal
Also like the previous film "The Secret Service", the British style in it is complemented by the three climaxes (the church scene, the fireworks headshot and the final battle), plus his editing of the film. style, it has formed a brand new special agent movie. Compared with the already bad 007, Mission Impossible and The Bourne, this special agent film has its own style and is more popular with audiences.
But don't think that Matthew's movies only have dazzling movie pictures, then you are wrong, like in the superhero blockbuster "X-Men: First Class", he passed the old series and the story line of the universe, telling young people Period Magneto, Professor X, and various mutants went from ignorant to real superheroes, and the excellent characterization in this movie can arguably make this movie the best movie in the Fork series, even if The later movies were directed by the veteran figure Bryan Singer, so the movie did not hit the street, but it was not as good as the first part of the prequel.
Looking back, it's not just the X-Men, but his other movies as well. In this cool movie rhythm, it also extends the growth story of an ordinary person.
Like the male protagonist in King Kipian, he finally turned from a loser who jerked off to a real King Kipian
Like in Xingchen, the male protagonist was just a person who liked to pick up girls at first, but was always rejected and couldn't beat his rival. Finally, with hard work and learning, he finally became the king of a fantasy world, and he found it. my own love
Like one of the ace agents, because of the pressure of life and missed opportunities again and again, he eventually became a gangster in the society. In the end, he also turned into a butterfly and became an ace agent.
Therefore, Matthew's films are not good because his films are all brainless commercial films. If this is the case, such an excellent film will never be made.
Therefore, I gave the four films mentioned above, and I gave them a high five-star rating.
But when it comes to this part, I still have to complain
What this movie wants to complain about is definitely the plot, like what special effects, don’t worry about the level of hi, because he is still hilarious and wavey, but the plot just doesn’t have the kind of inspirational story like the first one, and the narrative ability is also great weakening
Just like JB in the first movie, Roxie has created a successful character for so long, and it hit soy sauce at the beginning of the second movie, and then the film's agent goal officially began
Then, there are more tequila, dried ginger water, and that rope (I forgot what his name is), so there are more tricks, and it should be a good movie
But you may be disappointed. These characters are basically useless here, and there are quite a few scenes. The only one that is useful may be that it is useful to resurrect Harry with ginger water. The others are like holding ropes. He was a villain, but he was useless as a villain in the end, and he was thrown into the meat grinder after a few hits.
Then I mentioned Harry's resurrection just now, and then the storyline of the first film was lost. It was like there were two male protagonists. In the first film, although Harry was very powerful, he seemed like an absolute male protagonist. Same, but the movie eventually returns to Eggsy
But this movie has obviously become two male protagonists, and even for a while, it was thought that there were three male protagonists (plus a Merlin). In the first part, everyone has their own role, but in the In this one, it has become that everyone looks like one person. The ability to shape characters is very different from Matthew Vaughn.
Sometimes, the movie also inserts the emotional scene between Eggsy and the princess, which has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. This is not impossible, but it feels very inconsistent here, which obviously does not match the movie.
There are also villains who do not have any characteristics. Like "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", they seem to be very well shaped. In the end, they all hang up in an inexplicable way. Poppy like this one is not as good as the last one. Valentine
As I said just now, this movie is not about special effects and action scenes, but I still have to mention that the fighting aspect of this movie is really not as good as the first one, like the first one, it makes people feel good At the same time, I can also marvel at how individual action scenes can be filmed, such as church massacres, fireworks headshots, and skydiving quizzes.
And although this movie has a high investment, there is nothing particularly amazing about fighting.
And for the new characters in it, their performances have to be left to the next movie or the next movie. It can be seen that Matthew wants to make the movie bigger, but if you want to make a sequel like this, unfortunately you have to sacrifice Dropping the second part, so that the movie can be played in the third part, there are many such routines.
Just like Harry Potter 6, the whole story is a dull and boring narrative, connecting the previous and the next, and in the end, it only talks about Dumbledore's death for a long time, plus the movie is two and a half hours, and the plot is not covered. finished, so that the end of the plot is the beginning of the next movie
For the same reason, like Pirates of the Caribbean 2, it is done very well. Although it is a transitional film, it has to be said that the completion is not bad. This is the quality of the film that needs a transitional film.
So this movie may not be called a masterpiece, but at least it is still many ways ahead of other commercial movies.
If you think about it again, you will find that this movie is the first time Matthew directed the director of the sequel. Is Matthew a director who is not suitable for directing the sequel? At the time, he rejected the X-Men sequel, but went to make a sequel to the movie, and the effect was less than satisfactory. He also rejected the sequel of King Hai Bian before and changed the director, but the reputation is terrible, no one is looking forward to this series anymore
So it seems that it is not that he is unwilling to direct the sequel, but that his movie really started too high and needs more new tricks to improve his reputation, so I personally think that Matthew's mistake this time should be that the starting point of the previous work was too high reason
I hope Matthew made a mistake in this movie. He is not like the current director of Xingye. The films he directed in recent years are basically too different from his earlier works, and they are not satisfactory. Many people are very disappointed with Xingye.
I heard that Matthew Vaughn will also direct the ace agent of the third part and the Kick-bian king of the third part. I hope to be able to shoot the level of the first part, and don't let the audience down again.
Looking forward to the birth of Kickstarter 3 and Kingsman 3
