Maximizing the value of a successful IP or squeezing it clean is what capital is most willing to do. As we all know, the prequel of a big IP is not easy to shoot. Is "The Origin of Snake Eye" a bad movie? If your expectation is to see " The Hobbit",
can clarify the historical origin of the feature film, enrich the relationship network of the characters, and make it clear when watching Excited by a certain relationship, surprised by the appearance of certain characters, then you will be disappointed.
If you simply regard this movie as a series of "Special Forces", your expectation is to see a blockbuster like "Special Forces 1, 2" with wonderful action designs. Self-contained plot, rich world and many distinctive characters, then you will also be disappointed.
Snake Eye is a very popular character. He wears a black tight-fitting one-piece suit and never speaks and shows nothing. He is low-key and extraordinary, and his background is complicated and confusing, and his relationship with Bai Youling is entangled. It is indeed a good idea to make a prequel movie with his life experience as the starting point. However, this prequel movie does not respect the memories of snake eyes that occasionally flash in the feature film. In the memory of the feature film, Snake Eye is a blond Caucasian man.
This handsome boy is the actor of the baby Snake Eye.
When he was a child, he was misunderstood by the white ghost and killed the master and then fled, so he was regarded by the white ghost as a foe. In the prequel, Snake Eye was already a shaggy middle-aged Asian when he first came to Japan. If it weren't for the role of the Baroness, of course it would be just a role, because it is not the same actor as the feature film. Of course, the actor of Scarlett (AKA redhead) is different.
This is the Baroness
This movie has nothing to do with "Special Forces".
Regardless of the connection with the feature film, what if you only regard "Origin" as an independent movie.I am afraid it will still disappoint. As a commercial blockbuster, the design of the action scenes is lacklustre. This is the original sin. The male protagonist’s first appearance when he was an adult was a black boxing with a big guy, and the fight was very mediocre. From this, I can’t see the male protagonist’s personal characteristics. It has the same routine as this type of film. The male protagonist is in a weak situation. Winning the strong with the weak is quite satisfactory.
In the second play, the male protagonist flees with Tommy and pursues Jiantai. It should be a brilliant scene here. As a result, the shots were scattered, except for Tommy's appearance with two knives and the truck cab of the last two people was filled with long knives.
The cab is full of long knives. The so-called three trials after the male protagonist enters the Lanying family, I will put it in the next paragraph. In the third play after this, the male protagonist, Tommy and Qiu Zi Yuye go to siege Jiantai. The only gain from this scene is that I guess Tommy is a white ghost.
I guessed it a long time ago.
In the fourth stage, the male protagonist rides a motorcycle to help the castle. Tommy and Qiuzi chase him, and then have a melee on the road with Jiantai's men. This scene is still well played, which shows that Hollywood is still more comfortable with chasing motor vehicles.
Motorcycle pursuit
The final highlight is Jiantai's men besieging the castle and the masters in the castle counterattack. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
This is the complete collection of frontal figures.
Everyone has a shot, and everybody has nothing to show off.
also has a lot to complain about in the plot. In fact, as a prequel work, the plot is naturally limited, which is unavoidable. And because it is only for one or a few characters to do expansion and in-depth digging, it is also an indispensable operation to dig deep into the struggles and transformations of the characters. These are all understandable.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist hides in the safe house with his father, but is found by the enemy. The father sacrifices and the male protagonist escapes. The protagonist then determined to find revenge for his father’s enemy,For this reason, he joined the Jiantai gang, the undercover Lanying family, betrayed his brother who trusted him and had a good impression of him, and stole the infinite gems. The mistake was Sunstone. Finally, I saw the locked-up murderer of his father’s enemy, but it turned out that he cut the iron chain that locked his father’s enemy with a single knife? Then rushed to reinforce the castle?
The male protagonist first came to the Lanying family, and the family owner said that our family owes you favors, but Japan owes you favors? Is the Lanying family so awesome? Do you control Japan? For such a powerful family, to follow the whereabouts of a newcomer to Japan needs the person in charge of family security to follow it personally? Lost it? The tracking ability of the ninja family is also too weak.
Speaking of Qiuzi, the person in charge of safety, from the beginning he was suspicious and wary of the male protagonist, and then he trusted and helped the male protagonist. How did such a 180-degree change of mentality happen? Just because they are orphans, they can easily establish empathy?
This woman is Qiuzi
Speaking of the three trials of the family, the first time was a group of people in black running around, avoiding the feathers of arrows, and then the male lead was tripped to the ground by the mechanism. Is this over? What is this trial? The second time was to fight the hard master. The hard master chose the weapon for a long time and chose to play the game of grabbing the water bowl. The way through is actually a humble request?
Can I humbly ask the bank to give me one million
The third trial is more innovative, put it in a big well for three ancient snakes to judge. If this is an Indian snake dancer, wouldn't it pass in minutes?
These big snakes are really shocking.
One of the giant snakes was cut off by Jiantai? Is it because you have been alive for too long, so you did it?
Finally, it is said that the sun stone that the Lanying family has been defending is said to be the knowledge and power of the Lanying family. Both Jiantai and the Cobra Organization wanted to get it, but the result was really a red-shining stone. Is this strayed into the Marvel universe? "Special Forces" is also playing magic? Speaking of which Sunstone is so important,Does that have any power? As a result, Jiantai took the stone all over his body and hit one of his men with a touch.
By the way, this subordinate is very wronged.
This is just a short-barreled shotgun, and the subsequent operation only showed the functions of the ordinary shotgun and fire barrel. Only the ability of energy shield is beyond the reach of modern weapons, but is this thing really worth defending for 600 years? It’s also hard to understand the way that Nichishi was taken away from Jiantai. A car of firecrackers playing with firecrackers?
Yes, the car full of firecrackers is pulled by a rope. Japanese ninjutsu seems to be very powerful.
In the end, the white ghost is very abrupt and chose to leave the family.
The Lanying family suddenly took out the snake-eye equipment and gave it to the male lead,
I don’t know why, anyway, we have to give you this set of equipment
_p Joe's troops told the hero abruptly that your father is ours, so you should join us. It seems that all the pits are filled, but this method of filling the pits is like a meteorite from the sky. Duang's blast covers the pits.In fact, it is still difficult to understand why an old Japanese ninja family uses English when talking within the family? Is it because it's convenient to talk to dad?
There are several sceneries in the play that are eye-catching, and the Japanese scenery is very good.
This viewfinder is really good
This looks like a Japanese imperial palace
This house p should really be said to be handsome in this movie
The favor of Japanese audiences,So I added a lot of Japanese elements and tried to mix in a lot of Japanese culture, but the result was not good.
