Adapting a game has always been a difficult problem, and it is even more difficult if the adapted game itself is derived from a classic text.
And if the classic text itself forms a classic culture, then its difficulty is even more difficult.
As a work that obviously wants to make several episodes, "Dynasty Warriors" seems to be sincere in many ways.
, but in some ways too conservative, and in some places do not know how to hide.
makes the movie feel like it lacks stamina even though it tries to be a blockbuster.
So thinking about how to evaluate Dynasty Warriors is really difficult!
First of all, for the audience, the first thing they want to see is of course that all kinds of military generals ride like a thousand, pick up fiery weapons and stir up the small soldiers as vegetables to stir up the battlefield.
So when the movie comes up, there is not much nonsense, just show us the Yellow Turban thief led by Dong Zhuo's government army against Zhang Jiao.
This is also the first time the three Taoyuan brothers appear in the film.
In this scene, because of Zhang Jiao's method, he can remotely turn the soldier into a corpse and reverse the disadvantage of the battle in an instant.
And Dong Zhuo, played by Lin Xue, is wearing heavy armor riding a horse while swinging a knife and breaking free from the long line of soldiers.
This pays tribute to "Train to Busan"'s "Dong Zhuo Train" as fun and interesting as Dong Zhuo played by Lin Xue.
Fei Xue feels that every time he plays, he can play the least part of the scene and play the most flavor.
He can be said to be the most exciting actor in the film, although there are not many scenes.
His interpretation not only shows Dong Zhuo's might, but also Dong Zhuo's obscene contempt.
, the fixed "girl group" who has to accompany every time they appear, makes this character 's variety show more obvious.
But then, the movie began to have a lot of texts and plays that freeze rhythm .
So is the literary drama of the movie not worth watching?
has a few scenes that are actually still good. For example,
plays related to , Cao Cao and , all show us the image of a growing young hero.
At this time, Cao Cao is not yet a hero, but his ambition and arrogance are already obvious.
I even think the main point of view of this film should be on Cao Cao.
Because only he has a more complete growth curve in this film.
From dedicated assassination of Dong Zhuo to a politician who covets the world, a poor narrative strategy of the film must be mentioned here.
Although it must be admitted that Carina Lau's voice as a narrator is quite good.
But the role of the original character "Swordmaster" in the narrative completely drags down the rhythm of the film.
The movie treats the audience as people who don't know , Lu Bu, , and Cao Cao, and tells their stories again under the name of personal artifacts.
So we saw Liu Guanzhang three people standing there for dozens of minutes and listening to the story of the other two who got the artifact with the audience.
The strange thing is that the so-called "unparalleled heroes" who can upgrade their weapons by killing each other have no one else in the film except Liu Guanzhang, Lv Bu and Cao Cao.
But the little soldiers in the film are not mentioned. There are so many people with heads and faces. Don't they deserve to be called "heroes"?
They are all characters in the Warriors series that have personal biographies for players to navigate.
and there is a "casting sword castle" setting, and we know that Lv Bu and Cao Cao came here first.
These two people, especially Cao Cao, according to their sinister and vicious characters, wouldn't they want to try to kill the Lord of the Sword Casting Castle played by Carina Lau?
The movie revolves around three parties (Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Guanzhang) on the surface, but in fact Liu Bei, who is the opposite of Cao Cao, has a problem that is less narrated.
Liu Bei, played by You-Ning Yang , looks upright and modest at first glance, but he is actually a scheming hypocrite .
This can be seen in Guan Yu Warm Wine Cut Huaxiong .
When one head after another flew in, he still didn't let Guan Yu, who was eager to try, go out and kill the enemy.
It was only after the sixth head flew in that the generals inside died a lot. In the case of Huaxiong being consumed a lot of physical strength, Guan Yu was able to attack.
And then it and Cao Cao dressed in plain clothes while discussing strategies on the mountain while competing on the mountain. In addition to being quite refreshing,
also indicated that the relationship between these two future giants is actually the biggest focus of the film.
Because the future third giant Sun Quan is just a kid in this film.
Although the director followed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to film the plot, he modified Liu Bei's momentum on the side of the hero of cooking wine.
makes him no longer a weak person who pretends to be afraid of thunder but actually pretends to be weak to make Cao Cao let down his guard.
is more clearly trying to use the hypocrite in the name of helping the Han to confront the real villain Cao Cao, who has a clear mind.
Unfortunately, the one who had the biggest spark in the battle with Liu Bei was Lu Bu, who had no spiritual communication.
And Cao Cao led a group of soldiers to attack Luoyang.
The war between the unparalleled heroes in Cao Cao's film has disappeared again, and only the traditional picture of generals leading troops to fight is left, which is a pity.
As for the two younger brothers beside Liu Bei.
Zhang Jiansheng's Zhang Fei , except for the opening of the film, scolding Dong Zhuo for not being grateful.
and the middle whipping of the court dog officials have little performance in the movie.
and Guan Yu's unusually slender and slender body is not as good as Guan Yu's boldness in shape and personality, forming a conflicting feature.
Therefore, it is just as conservative as some parts of this film and it is difficult to become a feature.
and Gu Tianle played Lu Bu with a "hungry" expression from beginning to end.
can be said to show Lu Bu's "bestiality" very well.
But the scene where he met Diaochan played by Gulinaza can be said to be extremely embarrassing.
is almost relying on his handsome face to support the lines of those domineering presidents.
also relied on the beautiful background of lakes and mountains to quell this empty scene.
In fact, the purpose of this scene is very simple, that is, Lu Bu is an indestructible body and because his body is surrounded by ill-will.
(Although this setting was mentioned earlier in the movie, but the movie almost forgot about this setting)
is so difficult for others to get close to, and he is willing to self-mutilate for Diaochan whom he met for the first time, which is naturally romantic.
At the same time, because he did not know that Diaochan was on a mission to deceive his feelings.
So romantic encounters here are also tragic.
but the effect of the film is not good.
and even the subsequent and scenes did not show the complexity of Diaochan.
The short version effect of the wooden barrel will make the innovative plot of "Dynasty Warriors" unable to work. One of the most embarrassing points of
in this film is the extreme care in the part of the armor.
The armor that everyone wears is heavy but not aesthetically pleasing. It is much prettier than some realistic Three Kingdoms films.
even went as far as New Zealand to film, making the film have many expansive views that are refreshing. The pictures of
arrayed in array are quite eye-catching.
But on the other hand, due to the lack of special effects skills, the short board of the virtual body is more obvious when the entity and the virtual body are compared.
but the lack of special effects is not the fatal flaw of and .
The most fatal thing about the special effects of this film is the lack of imagination, so that it cannot be as enjoyable as the game.
Almost all the special effects funds were spent on the last scene of the battle between the three British and Lu Bu.
But the scheduling of this scene is extremely poor. The wide area that was originally an advantage has disappeared, leaving a big hole.
And this also makes the relative position of the four-player battle ambiguous.
The problem that this will cause is that the audience will not feel so obvious about the displacement of the character.
At the same time, because of fighting at the bottom of the valley, the soldiers used to show the inhuman combat power of the generals disappeared.
only has various fireworks special effects with insufficient color, which is naturally a mistake in the scene design.
The dub is basically the least problematic part of the movie.
Because of the special status of the composer, Yusuke Hatano was invited.
The electric guitar-led soundtrack he wrote makes people feel as excited as playing a game.
plays a big role when the image stimulus is not enough.
So in general, Dynasty Warriors is a difficult movie to evaluate.
From a video game point of view, the film is too conservative in many places.
But from the perspective of the history of the Three Kingdoms, many parts of this film are not good enough.
You can see the director's careful fine-tuning in small places.
For example, Cao Cao pretended to offer a sword to stab Dong Zhuo and then escaped from Luoyang on horseback and was chased by Lu Bu.
from static to dynamic, from dynamic to static, the rhythm is quite good.
But as a whole, as the beginning of a series, the movie lacks a drive to keep going.
If there is a reason why it is that the film lacks an air of momentum.
This kind of momentum will make the audience feel that "I have to keep watching to see something that is only available in this film!"
So I said that it is qualified as a movie, but it is actually disqualified as a series of movies .
