is a classic remake, "The Monster of the Nile" joins the franchise of "The Monster of the Nile" with the classic IP plus Hollywood leading actress Gal Gadot .
had already made many viewers look forward to it before it was released.
But.
html I never expected that the highly anticipated movie was fancy in front of everyone.costs $90 million (converted to about RMB 600 million), and as of the day of writing (10 days of release), the global box office has only $58.91 million. The box office of
60 million has not yet reached.
plus bad reviews in word of mouth: Douban scores 6.0.
also made "The Monster of the Nile" a veritable tragedy in Hollywood blockbusters since the beginning of the year.
01. Bad reviews in word of mouth: Egyptian promotional videos and old men picking up girls
After many viewers watched the movie.
The first feeling is not the protagonist Poirot 's reasoning ability is, but the Egyptian scenery is really beautiful, and the old man Poirot is good at picking up girls.
of course.
The audience's attention was more on Gal Gadot's long legs and graceful figure.
As a detective mystery movie, it is undoubtedly a failure.
In particular, "The Tragedy on the Nile" is a work that is regarded as the "Queen of Mystery" by many mystery novel enthusiasts Agatha .
looks even more miserable, and it also makes the director's ability even worse.
The fundamental reason is that the director has grasped the wrong key points.
inexplicably inserts various Egyptian scenery lenses that are not helpful to the narrative and case progress. There is no need to say more.
deletes and changes the relationship between the characters in the original story, which is the biggest problem of this movie.
is in the original work.
has many characters, and the relationships are complicated, and many people do not have intersections on the surface.
But under the grandma's handling, everything seemed organized.
The motives of the characters and the development of the cases are all clear.
But in the movie, the director and screenwriter confused the relationship between the characters.
The first few minutes of the opening article specifically introduces Poirot's love history.
even deleted a lot of character relationships, which weakened the reasoning and fun of the entire story.
In particular, in order to make up for the relationship between these deleted characters, some plots that have to be added are compressed, and the subsequent reasoning links are compressed.
so.
The whole movie seems to be top-heavy and has no rhythm of detective reasoning movie at all.
02, Gal Gadot's controversy
In addition to the controversy in the plot, the starring Gal Gadot is also controversial.
As an actress, especially in Hollywood movies, Gal Gadot gives people the feeling that the vase is greater than the actor and appearance is greater than the acting skills.
, especially Gal Gadot himself, is already 36 years old.
For a middle-aged actress, she has not yet been able to gain fame by acting skills, but instead relying on selling sexy to attract attention.
has also been criticized by many viewers.
Some radical viewers directly evaluated her as: Israel Yang Mi .
However, some people say that she is taken care of by Hollywood bosses.
Because of the capital behind Hollywood, most of them are Jewish groups, and Gal Gadot is based on Israeli nationality and Jewish identity.
's development in Hollywood can be said to be like a fish in water.
has been ranked third in the global actress income list in 2020, up to 31.5 million US dollars from "BVS", " Justice League ", and " Wonder Woman ".
resources are countless, from " Snow White " to "The Monster of the Nile".
Even " Cleopatra " came to the door. If it weren't for the "Black Riot", this character would be hard to say.
03, Hollywood's hot formula
In this case, Gal Gadot plus the classic IP of "The Monster of the Nile".
Hollywood Capital will not fail no matter how you look at it.
because they did this before and have achieved success repeatedly.
For example:
" Transformers " plus sexy Megan Fox .
not only has the double reputation and box office explosion, but even Megan Fox has become a world-renowned sexy actress.
" Tomb Raider " plus the charming Angelina Jolie .
makes investors laugh so hard that they can't see each other, and Angelina Jolie becomes even more popular in Hollywood.
So.
Sexy girl plus classic IP, this is the classic Hollywood hot product formula.
Sexy girl is responsible for traffic attracting attention, and the classic IP is responsible for the quality of the movie story.
has both visual enjoyment and spiritual enjoyment.
In the past, they had been invincible, but they suffered a tragic defeat in "The Tribulation on the Nile".
In essence, it is the director who is wrong in the focus of detective movies.
If you can shoot according to the original work, you may have achieved good results.
For example, "The Murder of Oriental Express" is a grandma's pioneering mystery work.
is a big IP remake. At the beginning of its release, the movie attracted the attention of many viewers who like suspense. After the release of the movie
, it won a box office of 230 million yuan in the country.
also won a box office of US$352 million for a cost of US$50 million worldwide.
