The reason why many Chinese audiences can remember the name Megan Fox is mostly from the classic movie " Transformers ". In 2007, this shocking movie not only satisfies many male audiences' good memories of childhood, but also remembers the heroine played by Megan Fox, who exudes a sexy atmosphere.
Like many female stars in Hollywood who have taken the sexy route, Megan Fox, who has a hot body, has been accompanied by a bunch of bad movies in his subsequent film career, and no work can surpass the roles in "Transformers".
However, in the action movie "The Legend of the Condor" released in 2020, we saw a completely different Megan Fox. Can Megan Fox, who is no longer sexy, make a surprising movie? The answer is obviously no. The audience seems not ready to accept a "female Rambo" and is not interested in Megan Fox dressed up as a "man" in the slightest.
The plot of "The Legend of the Rogue" is really unsatisfactory. The beginning of the movie is a group of mercenaries ordered to go to Africa to rescue hostages, guiding the audience's thinking toward the direction of "trafficking women". However, the focus of the movie is a lioness who is not in the same way as me, so the story becomes a subject of protecting wild animals, and a contest between justice and evil inexplicably becomes a contradiction between man and nature.
In the movie, Megan Fox plays the leader of this group of mercenaries. There is no action scene. The whole movie is almost posing with a gun on his face. However, the interesting thing about the movie lies in the personnel structure of this mercenary team. You can see the careful "political correctness" behind the current mainstream American commercial movie . In the movie, there are both handsome white guys and hard-working black brothers, and they have not even forgotten to install a cautious Asian sniper. Such a miscellaneous army from all over the world rescues hostages under the leadership of a female hero. Such a character setting is undoubtedly to please as many audiences as possible, and the consequence is that the plot of the movie is not contagious or persuasive.
Of course, the most disappointing thing about the movie is that Megan Fox is no longer sexy, wearing a fat military uniform and mingling among a group of rough men, making the whole movie have no "flavor" at all. At the same time, the movie did not successfully create the image of a "female hero". The thin script made the character's gender unimportant, and did not deliberately set up a storyline that highlights the character's tall image. It is difficult to convince such a serious and weak woman who can lead such a group of mercenaries to charge into battle.
The movie "The Legend of the Rogue" is a super bad movie that is only suitable for broadcasting on TV stations for viewers who like hot girls and action movie lovers. However, Megan Fox, who is no longer sexy, wants to transform into an action movie star. After all, what Hollywood does not lack the most is beautiful faces, but it has been a long time since there is no female action movie star who "sings, chants, and doing everything". Perhaps Megan Fox, who is no longer sexy, can make a world in the field of action movies, allowing the audience who were obsessed with her back then to remain enthusiastic.
