Chapter 391 That’s It?

A cinema in Los Angeles.

Film critic Jackson followed the crowd into the theater.

The next movie he was going to watch was "Fantastic Four 2".

"Fantastic Four 2" is the hottest movie today, with half as many screenings as "Pacific Rim", another movie that was also released today.

It's understandable, after all, this is a Marvel IP, and there are several characters at once.

The previous work was successful.

The casting is also great.

His favorite Jessica Alba is in the movie.

Jackson is not a comic fan, nor is he mainly for work. He is more for Jessica.

Look at the goddess, enjoy the movie, and use this method to complete the movie review task, and then start a beautiful weekend.

Of course, he also wants to watch Lu Ping'an's "Pacific Rim".

Speaking of which, he is also a fan of Lu Ping'an.

But he is not his super fan after all.

So naturally he has to watch what he likes first.

After entering the theater and sitting down, he observed the surroundings.

The attendance rate is quite high.

He estimated that the box office of "Fantastic Four 2" would not be bad this time.

Jessica is going to be famous!

Jackson was a little happy.

Soon, the movie started.

"Fantastic Four 2" tells the story of four superheroes fighting the new boss Silver Surfer first, and then forming an alliance with him to fight the big boss Galactus together.

The story is simple and fits the tone of superhero popcorn movies.

Movie fans and fans watch this kind of movie just for fun.

Look at the fighting scenes, look at the special effects, look at the handsome male actors and beautiful female actors, and then the plot is acceptable, and this kind of movie will basically not have a problem to make a profit.

But

Is the producer of "Fantastic Four 2" sick?

Not long after the movie started, Jackson, who claims to be relatively tolerant of movies, couldn't help but have this question in his mind.

Because he soon found a big poison point.

Jessica Alba, such a beautiful actress, how could she be so ugly in this movie?

It's not easy to make Jessica Alba ugly.

However, the photography of this film really did it.

At the beginning of the film, there is a close-up of Jessica Alba, who plays the "Invisible Woman". However, Tony thinks that the effect of the film looks at least ten years older!

And the makeup has not been carefully processed at all. She looks like a nightclub girl. She must have stayed up late last night.

This is not to mention compared with Jessica's original "Dictionary Lover", even the first one is not as good as it!

And if you look further, there are more than one complaints, and it is not the biggest one.

For example, special effects.

In theory, the theme of the Fantastic Four, combined with the rich materials in the original Marvel works, plus the participation of invincible characters such as Silver Surfer and Galactus, the special effects can be made magnificent. Just the abilities of these four people can play a lot of tricks.

Even if it can't achieve the effect of X-Men, it will not fail.

But unfortunately, the production team seems to have collectively lost their imagination.

The special effects of the whole film, as long as there is a scene where the Silver Surfer appears, such as the rescue scene of the London Eye, the highly textured material design, rendering technology, and motion capture are indeed a serious Hollywood blockbuster, especially the different psychological states of the Silver Surfer, including the changes in body color and luster when the surfboard under his feet is lost and regained energy, which is very beautiful.

But the rest makes Jackson have another illusion of a movie.

For example, at the beginning of the film, there is a very boring special effect. When Mr. Fantastic was on the plane, he had no place to put his luggage, so he quietly used his superpowers to reach his hand to the luggage rack opposite, and as a result, the old lady had no place to put her luggage. From the social effect of the script, it is actually not a very good demonstration.

There is also the second climax at the end. The fire man played by Chris Evans, who has not yet become Captain America, came up with a way to gather everyone's abilities and became a "Frankenstein". At this time, Jackson thought that the funds could be burned again, but he found that he thought too much. In the film, he actually became the appearance of Aladdin's lamp god!

Good guy, what is this!

The special effects are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the bad ones account for most of them. If there is a good plot to support them, it is not a big problem.

But the problem is that the plot is also rough!

In Jackson's opinion, the plot of the whole movie is like this:

There is a naked "Silver Surfer" who is suspected to be a liquid robot in "Terminator". He was originally going to kill the earth. Of course, he does not have this skill. His master is called "Planet Devourer" who specializes in eating planets to strengthen his physique.

Then, when the Silver Surfer flew over the earth, he woke up the villain doctor in the first "Fantastic Four", and then he was inexplicably resurrected and cured his "iron skin disease".

Mr. Fantastic built a device that looked very powerful and detected the Silver Surfer. Then Doctor Doom pretended to join forces with them, but actually wanted to seize the Silver Surfer's surfboard.

The next scene is one of the few shots in the whole film that can make people think that they are watching a "blockbuster" made by the top Hollywood industry. It is the scene where the London Eye is uprooted by the powerful energy of the Silver Surfer.

The subsequent plot develops rapidly at a market-like pace.

Suddenly, the Silver Surfer became good, and then these superheroes flew across China at a speed as fast as thunder and lightning, and in a few seconds, they arrived in Shanghai from the Great Wall.

After everyone worked together to kill Doctor Doom, the Invisible Woman Jessica Alba died in the line of duty, but the Silver Surfer still inexplicably waved her hands a few times like a magic trick, without explaining the principle of this operation, and the Invisible Woman was instantly resurrected.

In the last few minutes of the film, it was thought that the super invincible big boss who had laid the foundation for the entire film, the planet Devourer, who was like a creator god far beyond Thanos, would make a stunning appearance, show off a wave of skills, and then let the audience see the burning funds.

But Jackson soon found out that he thought too much.

The Silver Surfer used a very simple trick: self-destruction, and drove away the planet Devourer.

That's it?

That's it?

The complicated relationship between Galactus and Silver Surfer, the source of their power, and the strength of their abilities are not mentioned at all, and the connection between the various plots can be said to have been left blank without giving you more words.

As a result, the director now seems to be hinting to the audience with the length of the film: "Marvel's plot is so complicated, it's so troublesome to disassemble it. I really want to perfunctorily get paid and leave it at that. You can watch it or not."

Then he realized that the whole movie was less than an hour and a half, right?

The film involves at least 7 important characters in the comics, but it's only an hour and a half? !

If it were another director to shoot this, with so many heroes, at least three works with a length of more than 2 hours could be shot!

It can be said that "Fantastic Four 2" perfectly avoids all the methods that comic-adapted movies may use to create highlights. Whether it is the director, the script or the special effects, they all give people a feeling that every job seems to be absent-minded.

Until he walked out of the theater, Jackson didn't figure out what 20th Century Fox was thinking, and what the producer of this movie was thinking!

Jackson felt that although this movie was still watchable, it was far from as good as advertised!

There were many viewers who had similar ideas to him. Just look at the expressions of those who came out with him.

Some were frowning, while others looked calm.

Needless to say, what this expression meant.

After watching a good movie, the expression would definitely not be like this.

At this moment, Jackson noticed that the movie theater next door had also ended, and the fans who came out were chatting there, and some were even talking about something with great excitement.

This is how they behave after watching a good movie!

Jackson was curious, and then he found a girl and asked, "What movie did you just watch?"

"Pacific Rim."

The girl simply answered and left, not wanting to leave her mobile phone number with the man.

And Jackson didn't care about these things, he had already walked to the ticket office.

"I want a ticket for Pacific Rim."
