The Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors were famous in the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. The five hegemons and seven heroes were in trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they rose and fell in an instant. There are a few lines of names in the history of Qing Dynasty, and there are countless barren hills in the vast north. One sows and another reaps. It’s nothing more than a fight between dragons and tigers...!
The book is continued from the above article about . This time, I would like to thank the "Maoyan Movie Group" for the latest movie viewing activity of " new mummy ". In fact, the "Mummy" series, which originated in the last century, was originally a classic IP that can be compared to the American "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the adventure of exploring the tomb of gods and monsters. However, Universal Pictures has abandoned its fine traditions of hilarious jokes and grand war scenes throughout the film. Although this is just the first reboot to pave the way for the future "Universal Monster Universe", it is not as shocking and curious as Warner's first "King Kong: Skull Island" in the "Monster Universe". The whole film is filled with vulgar "boiling a frog" scenes and commonplace CG special effects. It neither reflects the agility of Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible nor the terrifying evil of the villain. Therefore, the only highlights of the whole film are the various Easter eggs reserved for the subsequent appearances of other gods and monsters. In fact, classic monster movies like this one that everyone is familiar with are not easy to make. The most important thing is that their thrilling and terrifying feel can no longer frighten the appetites of senior movie fans who are now baptized by horror movies. Therefore, unless Universal Pictures can find some senior horror film directors like "James Wan", it will be difficult for its Dark Universe (Gods and Monsters Universe) series to continue to compete with other universe movies...
What is the "Universal Gods and Monsters Universe" What the hell is it, and what kind of monsters are there
This book is protected by the brave Tom Cruise and the cool Blade Girl, so why don’t movie fans around the world buy it
What is a qualified "dark movie" that will be recognized by movie fans
Please enjoy it The latest issue of Beijing Flavor Film Review "Vicious Third Master Reviews Movies"
Warm reminder: This article may contain minor spoilers, please read it with a click of
Recently, Sanye has read a lot of various articles in the movie library, nothing more than... Most of you are tired of discussing the various reasons for the failure of this film and introducing the "Dark Universe" (verse of gods and monsters), so this time we will talk about other things that others have not mentioned yet. Weird things...
History of the development of the Mummy series
As we all know, in the hearts of movie fans, the "Mummy" series is as famous as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, a great adventure IP of gods and monsters. There should be countless nostalgic feelings and adventure legendary "male and female thieves", but after watching the movie, I couldn't see it. It can be said that this film, as the beginning of the future dark series and the initial starting point of the universe, is a tepid and "stuffy" squib. It is really a pity that the big-name "Tom Cruise" performs well and pretends to be cute at an advanced age. ...
Those of you who have watched it and still remember the plot probably still remember the terrifying and evil bald high priest back then. Its terrifying and disgusting appearance has also left an indelible shadow on many people's childhood. Even in 1999, the visual effects were not comparable to what they are now, but they still relied on the most advanced CG technology at the time to create a look that looked just like the real thing. With a cost of US$80 million, it grossed a global box office of US$400 million, becoming the most profitable series of the year and becoming famous in film history.
I believe that the sudden scenes of mummies
frightened many simple and kind-hearted young daisies...
Why is it said that "The Mummy 1-2" was a very qualified "ghost movie"? This film was actually intentional It imitates "Raiders of the Lost Ark"-like tomb exploration, myths and legends, funny jokes, horror and thrillers, as well as various erotic scenes and historical flashbacks, which easily takes the audience back to the history of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. It is also a classic case in the history of film that a great chaos can be successfully integrated. It has also allowed countless viewers to accumulate countless good feelings and emotions for the adventure comedy of this film. Ping Qie also made famous Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser who were not yet famous at the time.
Speaking of the success of "The Mummy 12" back then, we have to mention the film's production history.In fact, almost since the first film (in 1932), almost all movies have been shot in Egypt. In this ancient and mysterious country, it not only has a splendid cultural history comparable to China, but also has various terrifying legends about mysterious ancient tombs and evil curses that are more mysterious than China. Greedy adventurers rob tombs, and follow up with various "moths flying into the flame"... ╮ (╯＿╰) ╭
Speaking of tomb robbing, we cannot fail to mention the world's top tomb brand - the Egyptian pyramids. The biggest feature of this film is that it firmly captures the mysterious elements of Egypt, including pyramids, mummies, priests, mysterious spells, lost cities, and various desolate and vast desert scenery. Although the endings of Hollywood movies are not difficult to guess, when the Western adventurous spirit and Eastern mystery are blended together, the routines seem to take on a strange flavor. Especially " mummy1" is the most classic and the most talked about.
This movie, released in 1999, achieved unexpectedly high box office returns with a low cost. It can be called another successful example of the same type of film. Although there have been 20 or 30 mummy-themed movies before, this movie stands out with its wonderful visual effects. After many years, the Kuangsha BOSS was also imitated by Ci Ling, but the existence of the reference seemed to only serve to set off the insurmountable classic. (It’s hard to imagine that the CG special effects back then were actually actors fighting with the air. Actors with little imagination really couldn’t perform well.)
came to the second part in 2002 with a more comprehensive and luxurious upgrade, which can be called "2.0" "Powerful enhanced version". For the first time, more grand historical scenes and surging war scenes involving tens of thousands of people have been added.
Venezuelan beauty Patricia Velasquez , the "Cleptopatra" who had a glimpse in the previous film, is also returning with a bigger role! (This is the proper style of Queen of Egypt)
and " The Rock Dwayne Johnson " who was a professional wrestler at the time played the older and more powerful " Scorpion King " than the bald old man. His dazzling performance in this film was recognized by more audiences, and his stunning performance in The Mummy's previous film "The Scorpion King" established him as the successor of the new generation of action muscle superstar " Governor Arnold ".
In fact, looking at the development history of Marvel movies, whether it is Iron Man "Robert Downey Jr." Captain America " Chris Evans " or Wolverine "Hugh Jackman" before taking over the filming, they were not A-list star, but only because of a popular comic character, he became a popular superstar now. It also allows audiences who like the character to witness the character's growth experience, which is also the biggest charm of a successful movie series...
But this time Universal Pictures did the opposite and only invited popular stars to participate, including "Dr. Jekyll" "Russell Crowe, "Monster Hunter" Tom Cruise, "The Mummy Princess" Sofia Boutella, "Frankenstein" Javier Bardem, " The Invisible Man " Johnny Depp, Dawn ·Johnson's "Werewolf" and the yet-to-be-announced "Vampire, Murloc, Hunchback of Notre Dame" and many more well-known monsters are without exception the secret weapon of the century-old "Universal Pictures". However, only popular stars are invited and it is easy to bring the audience into the familiar roles of the stars...
Take this picture as an example. If you don't tell the source, if you don't say it is the latest "Mission: Impossible" stills, there must be many movie fans. You will also be confused and confused...
Universal Pictures
As the big brother of global film and television studios and one of the oldest companies in Hollywood, Universal was once the most powerful film company in Hollywood.However, due to founder Carl Laimer's wrong development strategy, Universal has been in decline for half a century since the 1920s. Fortunately, after the 1970s, the company has made great strides with "Jurassic Park" and " Fast and Furious". " " The Bourne Supremacy " and other films have become popular, and the status of Universal Pictures has also steadily increased. In the 21st century, Universal has become the best company in Hollywood to develop sequel movies and comedies. In addition, due to the 2010 meter high After May's went bankrupt, Universal Pictures once again took the long-lost top spot in Hollywood.
"Jurassic Park" "Fast and Furious" "The Bourne Supremacy"
This is Universal, the second oldest film company in Hollywood. Countless successes and reflect on the ghosts and monsters in its latest "Dark Universe". Although in the silent film era of the last century, they were famous classic monsters that "scare people to death without paying for their lives" and are well-known around the world, with their unique gothic thriller style, All are the world’s most lucrative cash cows. If these classic elements can be reused and repackaged, they may be able to regain their vitality. But now, for senior movie fans who have been frightened for a long time, there is still no sense of terror at all...╮（╯＿╰）╭
The former " Dracula Year One " was also called darkness Universe started, but was kicked out due to both box office and word-of-mouth failure, and will never be mentioned again...
Universal Monster's remake of classic works, including The Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and other masterpieces...
In fact, if you are from the past Judging from the Hollywood Summer Box Office Summary Report, Universal Company is not a large company with stable performance. It will either make a lot of money this year or capsize in the gutter next year. After suffering several blows, the past few years have basically been in a state of stagnation. Coupled with the impact of last year's financial crisis, it seems like Ah Q's Chinese New Year. Each year is worse than the last, and he is in a difficult situation. I heard that many film projects have been planned recently. It was stranded and even sold its subsidiaries. It seems that it is in decline these days. Even the quality of the movies is not as good as the previous ones. It seems that the only safe way to make money is to run your own "Universal Theme Park" (which is comparable in size to Disneyland)...╮（╯＿╰）╭
( Asia's newest Universal Park will also open in the imperial capital Beijing in 2019)
Beijing Universal Studios is the largest in the world. According to the plan, Universal Studios Beijing will be sited at 4 square kilometers, with the core area covering 1.2 square kilometers and peripheral controlled land of 2.8 square kilometers. The core area of 1.2 square kilometers alone is more than twice the size of Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan, and is equivalent to 5 Universal Studios in Singapore.
"The Mummy"
The Mummy
Take The Mummy as an example. The most outstanding and most successful character in the whole film is the generation of otaku idols who have always had great box office appeal for many years - the veteran male god "Tom Cruise"!
Nice Soup- Tom Cruise
The economic environment of Cruise's family was not good when he was a child. The family moved frequently. His parents divorced when he was 12 years old. In 1980, he moved to New York to look for acting opportunities. In 1981, he entered Hollywood and worked in "" He played a small role in "Endless Love" and starred in "Guided Admission" in 1983, becoming a new generation idol star. In 1986, "Defender" strengthened its position as the "golden boy" at the box office. After "Rain Man" in 1988, his acting skills became increasingly mature, and he was nominated for an Oscar for "Magnolia". Since the mid-1990s, Cruise has starred in a number of blockbuster films. Among them, the three most praised by movie fans are undoubtedly the three "Mission: Impossible" series produced by Cruise himself. The third film set off a new trend in 2006. Agent Storm. The science fiction film "Minority Report", a collaboration with the great director Spielberg , is also regarded as a classic. In recent years, the influence of his works has been average, and negative news has continued, and his popularity has declined, but his status in the hearts of movie fans is still unshakable. He was married to Nicole Kidman in 1990 and divorced 10 years later.He currently has a daughter named Suri with Katie Holmes...
When Tom Cruise first debuted, he was the kind of young boy who could tenderly ejaculate with just a pinch. It can bring a hint of sweetness, ghostly and charming mysterious smile . He was one of the most charming male gods before the debut of "Leonardo DiCaprio".
In fact, Tom Cruise is different from many actors and stars. He does not have any talented acting skills. His success depends on his continuous learning and hard training, overcoming his own weaknesses and adding useful experience. The spirit of hard work in his early years helped him a lot. Finally, with his perseverance and hard work, he gradually moved towards success and recognition from movie fans around the world.
He is the prince charming and the dragon-slaying warrior in " The Dark Lord "
He is the young, handsome and rebellious ace pilot in "Top Gun"
He is the thousand-year-old classical aristocrat in the classic horror film "Interview with the Vampire"
He is the agile ace agent in the spy movie action movie "Mission: Impossible"
This is the man with perfect amber charming eyes
and a proud figure
In addition to being only 1.70 meters tall, uh... .
Tom Cruise is simply the perfect representative of Hollywood
This is the "beautiful soup" of the eternal male god
As the old saying goes, heroes accompany beauties
This time's beautiful mummy also has a great origin...
Blade Girl - Sofia Boutella
Sofia Boutella is a French professional dancer of Algerian origin. Born in Algeria on April 3, 1982, she later moved to France and became a member of the French Olympic national gymnastics team at the age of 18. Now she is a well-known dancer who mainly performs hip-hop and street dance. She is especially famous for her series of advertisements for Nike women's clothing. . In 2012, Sofia starred in the high school musical "So You Think You Can Dance 2" and then in the movie "Kingsman: The Secret Service", playing the role of the super-explosive villain Blade. Her handsome and strong skills are known and widely recognized by movie fans. In 2016, she participated in the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Trek Beyond", which was equally weird and cool! She deserves to be the strongest female dancer in history!
The Blade girl in "Kingsman" has a cool look
The same Blade girl in "Star Trek 3", just as cool
A professional villain who runs wildly on the path of evil and cannot be restrained...
In fact, she is currently the most popular The most outstanding role is still the cold, cruel, prosthetic female assassin played in "Kingsman". Although her flesh is not exposed, her slender S-curve is extremely sexy. Although he was a villain, he was quite brilliant and made everyone in the theater cry. People remember this beautiful and powerful blade warrior from Algeria.
Although Sofia Boutella's epoch-making mummy appearance in this film is very seductive and ghostly, and it can be seen that she worked hard for the effect of the film, she still cannot save the decadent decline of the film. It is a pity. ...(Her complex styling and makeup in this film took 6-8 hours to complete, and she basically spent most of the day doing makeup and dozing off (so boring)...╮(╯＿╰)╭)
Reviews of this film
This film broke away from the actual shooting of ancient Egypt in all the original works, and moved the main stage to the equally eerie late-night streets of London, the foggy city (which is also the territory of vampires, werewolves, Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes). (Home), once the Evil Queen who has been imprisoned for centuries is released, she will intensify all the grudges that have been accumulated for thousands of years and bring about an apocalyptic catastrophe that the human world has never seen before! But... (You know the fun part of the complaint.
It’s okay for the queen to summon a spider and mouse to be her younger brother. Why do she have to forcefully include the undead Crusaders, zombies from The Walking Dead, and the old dead ghost Dr. Incarnate into the same group? This is a pot of Northeastern stew, but the result is that none of the clues are clearly explained, whether it is the heroic Tom or the ghostly queen, and the horror legend that should be there is not well highlighted. The important so-called horror scenes are all childish and boring to scare preschoolers under 6 years old. I really doubt that they were done deliberately to save costs for special effects... ╮（╯＿╰）╭
The female protagonist is all kinds of shameless. Hey, it’s really hard for Tom to have to perform an awkward love scene at his age (if there is love). The final boss fight should be the most outstanding scene, and I fully appreciate his "French kiss". One kiss seals the deal! This is one of the weirdest final showdowns I have ever seen! The classic IP of The Mummy has completely changed from the original "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to the "Unresolved Love" mode. There have been a lot of bad Hollywood movies recently, and it seems that we have also seen the rise of domestic tomb robbery movies ("Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Raider Notes"). Oh yeah!
There are not many good movies.
Good tomb robbery movies are even rarer.
Good ones. Domestic tomb robbery movies have not yet been born
So cherish life
Just watch and cherish it... ╮ (╯＿╰) ╭
Beijing taste smells poor, talks nonsense, serious nonsense, and does not agree with one word Just driving is the biggest magic weapon for the majority of movie fans to watch "The Vengeful Third Master Reviews Movies". You know
