"Fireflies is a magnificent epic that has not been seen in decades. —100 points, Stephanie-Zacharek, Salon, Salon.

MetaCritic, a well-known rating website, published an exclusive feature titled "Fireflies Conquer the Film Critics: Critical Observations", on which "Fireflies" scored 95 points, while Wang Yang's controversial last work, "The Demon Wears Prada", scored 45 points.

"As I've said before, I'll reiterate it now, "Firefly" is not only the highest-rated film so far this year, but it's also almost the top of the list of films in our entire database for the past decade, with "The Lord of the Rings 3" scoring only 94. Of the 45 film reviews we counted, all but one of them were positive, including some films that have never liked Wang Yang's works very much, as well as film critics who had a war of words with him because of "The Devil Wears Prada". ”

This is the case at the beginning of this feature, with Stephanie Zashak falling into the latter category, who gave "The Devil Wears Prada" a B- rating and blasted Wang Yang for "his ambition to change from a classic movie to a dollar-only Hollywood popcorn", and now she is giving "Firefly" with a very complimentary word like "Epic".

Kimberly-Jones, the Austin Chronicle critic, was unimpressed with Young's previous films, and Jones's dissatisfaction with "The Devil Wears Prada" was largely due to the thin allegories of the script and Young's overly commercial directorial approach. She likes "District 9" a little more, but she is always dissatisfied with the director's tricks on camera, because she feels that the pseudo-documentary technique is confusing rather than charming, especially when the film leaves the perspective of the protagonist. For "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", she felt that the script was too old-fashioned and pretentious, and "Juno" failed to match the characters with sharp edges and clear positions. ”

But now "Firefly" seems to have conquered her easily, and all grievances have been perfectly resolved in the new film, with her review writing: "Wang Yang and Joss Wheddon's team-up is like a perfect marriage, and their humor permeates the entire script, the whole movie." "Fireflies shuttle like a ribbon in two states: lighthearted, humorous and tense. "Wang contributed some of the most beautiful and refreshing sci-fi images available today. "Fireflies is a rare film that says something, not necessarily the best, but certainly provokes thought. "I saw the maturity and rise of a young director. Keh-Turan, another film critic for the ...... Los Angeles Times, praised "Firefly" as a "powerful" story, while he had previously dismissed "The Devil Wears Prada" as a cliché story, "Juno" was oily rather than witty, and "District Nine" had some logical irrationality. But in "Firefly", there are many characters of various forms, and the dialogue of each character is interesting and distinctive, bringing a kind of "rocket-launching power", "and the inherent explosiveness of the film can penetrate the eyes of any audience without being shaken".

Turran, who scored 100, also wrote that the entire film, regardless of the script dialogue and the cameras, "not a single ounce of fat," could be cleverly strung together, and he wanted to praise it all too much.

What else did critics love? The feature features a roundup of what they have to say about Firefly in all its aspects, whether it's the story and characters, the script and dialogue, the graphics and shots, the soundtrack and soundtrack, the cinematography and colors, the costumes and props, the acting and the direction...... While fans and audiences always focus on the visual shock and amazement of Wonder Young and Firefly, the critics in the feature have praised him in all aspects.

100 points, "Variety" Justin-Chang: "It can be seen that Wang Yang's directing this time is at ease and fully explodes, which is a model of cohesion, he has given up all the tricks he used to play, and tells the story through the traditional beauty of lens settings, prop settings and editing." Previously, he gave "TDP" 60 points, and Wang Yang averaged 82 points for the eight films directed.

95 points, Richard-Corliss, Time: "There are hardly any better movies in this world than 'Firefly'! Marvel Young is a consummate director, who, while doing a great job of getting the shots done, boosts morale, inspires the creative team behind the scenes, and brings out a flawless genius from a group of brilliant actors." "TDP: 40 points, eight movies average: 75 points.

95 points, Carrie-Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: "What's especially amazing is that the part of the movie that talks and walks can exude a charming atmosphere, Wang Yang slowly tells us what happened, and then pulls us in, deeply. "TDP: 55 points, 8 movies average: 80 points.

100 points, "The Hollywood Reporter" Kirk-Honeycutt: "From the perspective of technical dazzle, this is Wang Yang's most gorgeous to date, but he did not get lost in the special effects technology, and the explosion of talent and the actors' performances and unimaginable camera images contributed to his best performance." I don't want to mention "The Demon Wears Prada" anymore, maybe this young man has reached a point where he doesn't need to prove anything, he likes to be simple and shocking, "Firefly" is exactly the kind of state that many filmmakers make their greatest films, but we can't forget that he is only 25 years old. "TDP: 50 points, 8 movies average: 76 points.

92 points, "Rolling Stone" Peter Travers: "Regardless of the wit of the language and the splendor of the visual bombardment, Wang Yang has created his best and most evocative work in the film industry." "TDP: 35 points, eight movies average: 62 points.

95 points, Joe-Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: "Wang Yang did not draw a line between action and explosion, cabin dialogue and plum blossom drifting, he arranged every shot with fearless energy and solid tactile sense, and finally created a world with magical power." "TDP: 40 points, eight movies average: 75 points.

100 points, Joe-Neumaier, New York Daily News: "Other directors can be overwhelmed by so many elements, but Wonder Young's best work is so incredible that you might even feel like you've watched a lot of movies in retrospect, and that's Firefly." "TDP: 30 points, 8 movies average: 65 points.

92 points, "The Rock" Dana-Stevens: "Wang Yang has done a great job of making a story that is not too novel to be not only interesting but also so intense, not only pouring out exciting scenes with perfect music, but also building characters and ideas for the camp step by step." "TDP: 25 points, eight movies average: 71 points.

However, despite the astonishing 95 points of "Firefly", not 100% of critics agree that it is a perfect movie, and the only 60-point review was given by the Boston Globe's T.Y. Bull, who questioned the director's handling of female characters, Zoe was emotionally withdrawn despite being Walsh's wife, Kelly was a nymphomaniac and Reva was nervous, he said: "'Firefly' is just a normal beautiful woman, and a normal love element. ”

It's always impossible to satisfy everyone, compared to this summer's "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Heavenly Dynasty", "Iron Fist Man", etc., "Firefly" is so popular, just like a firefly in the dark! Wang Yang has conquered the hearts of almost all North American film critics in this way, regardless of the conflict that they didn't like him before or because of "The Devil Wears Prada", this time they were all convinced, at least in their film reviews, they didn't mess around, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes remained at 97%/100% for a while.

"Fireflies are going to bother you for a long time, and then you tell yourself, well, it's just a science fiction movie. —3.5/4 (87 points), Jeffrey Westerhoff, Northwest Herald "TDP": 25 points, 8 movies average: 75 points.

Since the battle of "The Demon Wears Prada", Jeffrey Westerhoff, who was named at the time, has been biting Wang Yang for almost two years, and has always ridiculed and ridiculed works including "Prison Break", "The Big Bang Theory", "Ghost Record 3" and other works, but this time, he actually praised "Firefly" as a masterpiece! Maybe he is very reluctant, but he just thinks that the best film critic is the grass on the wall, he used to ridicule Wang Yang because he was dissatisfied, but now he praises because he is satisfied, he is always an invincible film critic.

"Heath Ledger has a great performance, and he's done crazy with taste, which is enough to show that he is likely to be an actor like Marlon Brando. After praising the leading actors separately, Westerhoff still mocked provocatively: "If it weren't for Wang Yang and Jessica Alba's terrible and boring performances on the big screen, this would be a perfect masterpiece." ”

His film reviews can be described as secretly murderous, and he did not make a full range of comments, but focused on the actors' performances, and did not hesitate to praise Heath Ledger, Robert Downey Jr., Ellen Page and others, and then shake out his own offensive real opinions in an atmosphere of recognition.

"Westerhoff, everyone loves Captain Whirlwind, but you don't, your taste is really unique!" Countless fans of Wonder Young and Firefly fans poured into Westerhoff's blog, leaving a lot of laughter, even IMDB was captured by them, not to mention a blog, they wouldn't let go of this famous Yang, Inyhu left a message: "I remember someone who said 'Amazing Jan is done', and now he says 'I'm troubled', who is it?" Alex-K said: " Of course, you will be bothered, you can't understand "Firefly" at all, it is more than just a science fiction movie. "That's why there's always people missing out on classic movies and there's always people wasting time because there's the Northwest Herald," Charles-L said. Brien saw through the trick: "Why don't you judge the director? And Marvel Young is doing so well, I don't know what else can stump him." ...... "Hey, what should I do!" "Los Angeles at night, in the spacious and elegant bedroom, Wang Yang walked around with the B-ultrasound film taken during the day, looking at the baby in the vinyl film, he was happy for a while and sighed for a while, it was really a bit unfounded, but he was really flooded by a lot of questions, he felt that his baby daughter would definitely be super beautiful and cute in the future, heartthrob girl, what should she do when she reaches the age of dating and love, what should I do if I am deceived by a jerk?

"No!!" How can a baby daughter be hurt by a bastard!!! Wang Yang waved his fist, and walked a few steps with a bit of a blockage in his chest, some understood the mood of his father-in-law, how could there be someone who knew how to take care of his baby daughter better than him? And think about the hurt Helen suffered in the first place...... Oh, my God!

There is also a big question, different from his and Jessica's growth track, the baby is loved by thousands of people, and at the same time he will lose a lot, what kind of education is good? He definitely doesn't want to see his baby daughter become a spoiled IT-GIRL, but the baby must be like her mother, an angelic girl, then again, he really began to think about whether it is like "The Princess Diaries", is it feasible? By the way, those paparazzi! How should babies and the media get along? Do your best to protect **?Or accompany her to deal with her from elementary school?...... He's going to explode!

"Honey, you're thinking too fast!" Jessica, who is also happy to have a daughter and likes plans, doesn't have so many long-term ideas, at this time she sits on the edge of the bed, stretches and looks at a large pile of baby girl's clothes that she just swept today, and smiles with satisfaction......! At this time, Wang Yang over there shouted again: "NO!"

Jessica shook her head with her eyes rolled up, it was only the 14th week of pregnancy, what was he thinking! She felt that she would naturally have a whole set of education methods at that time, and the baby care magazines and books she had read since she was a child were all in her head, not that he could compare with reading a few "Complete Instructions for Pregnancy" in order to make a movie. Jessica lifted a baby T-shirt with a floral pattern and smiled: "You don't have to think so much, leave it to me! ”

"Well, I'm sure you can do it. Wang Yang nodded, he looked at the B-ultrasound film, and frowned again: "I can't imagine if the baby is Paris Hilton......" Jessica suddenly shouted angrily: "Please! Are we parents like that?!" She reached out and picked up a pillow and threw it over, and said angrily: "You might as well worry that the baby is a female devil who beats people everywhere!" She shrugged her shoulders: "Who says it's not?" Dad is Captain Whirlwind, Mom is Blue Glove. ”

"But I'm sure she'll be more beautiful than Charlize Theron. Wang Yang caught the pillow and smirked, Jessica turned his head to look at him: "Really?" Wang Yang reacted quickly: "Of course, don't look at who the mother is?" He swung his fist and leg like crazy, and roared out like a trapped beast: "Ahhh

The night gradually thickened, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound in the quiet and dark bedroom, and Jessica, who was woken up, turned on the bedside lamp with a "click", only to see Wang Yang standing by the locker looking at the B-ultrasound film, the cabinet drawer was naturally opened, and he immediately turned his head to look at it as soon as the light turned on, and laughed: "Uh, I'll get up and see my daughter......" Jessica couldn't help but laugh too, patting her belly: "My daughter is here." Seeing that her eyes were gentle and she bit her lip very charmingly, Wang Yang put the film back in the drawer and walked over with a smile: "Yes, I want to kiss her!" ...... The "Firefly" screening hall in 3845 North American theaters is not a midnight show on the weekend, but it is not deserted, at this time the film is being screened to the New Shanxi War, and the firefly spaceships on the big screen cover the entire sky, and the audience exclaims from time to time: "Wow-"

Sunrise and sunset, time in the past, "Firefly" is far ahead in the North American weekly box office charts, there is no suspense, IMDB's fan war has become more and more inseparable, the current top three are "Firefly" 9.6 points, "The Godfather" 9.1 points, "The Shawshank Redemption" 9.1 points.

"Let's teach Firefly a lesson!" Brumlye called on the forum: "Let it go back to its place! First of all, I love this movie too, but I can't get used to the crazy behavior of some fans...... Xman also said: "I'm by Firefly! We can't let IMDB become a marketing territory for movie companies." EdenB asked rhetorically: "Who the hell is the first to swipe 1 point vote?IMDB does not allow the movie to score 9.8 points?" Arianka didn't want to talk nonsense: "The Godfather is up again, keep smashing!!"...... Every day, there are all kinds of new media reports, and Yahoo Entertainment quoted a new news: "'Batman: Time to War' suffered a horrific sniper, and Warner Bros. said Aronofsky could not be blamed." ”

"It has nothing to do with Aronofsky, it has nothing to do with Batman, it's a very helpless thing, you meet Marvel Young, you will be like this. Warner Bros. spokesman Scott Lowe, who was thrilled to claim that "Fantastic Young is almost complete at the helm of Batman", is now very sad, telling the media: "We are not desperate, we are still confident that the box office of "Batman" should pick up in the next few weeks. ”

In fact, his speech was to use the global attention of "Firefly" to remind fans and audiences: "Come and watch "Batman"! We are not as bad as the box office figures, but we are covered by "Firefly". ”

Regardless of whether "Batman" has shine or not, its charm and that of other movies is indeed completely compared to that of the interstellar cowboys, when June 17-23 is a thing of the past, a new weekend arrives, and the North American and global box office charts of the week are also announced, and "Firefly" continues to perform fabulously.
