"Wang Yang's latest masterpiece brings out the essence of "I Am Legend" for the first time, and it is definitely not a B-movie horror show, and it has almost no flaws. —4/4, Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter; "I Am Legend" has horror and depression beyond the heart's capacity, but it is never tiresome. When it finally goes out, a great movie is born. —4/4, Rex Reid, The New York Observer; This is a concept not to be missed, and after decades of development, Wang Yang has turned it into a classic. "—3.5/4, Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel;" All the effort has created one of the most eerie spectacles to date, and the ruined Manhattan is the best claustrophobic location, Wang Yang's most terrifying masterpiece since The Ninth District. —3.5/4, John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press; The fantastic director maintains an astonishing insight, one of Will Smith's best performances, the film doesn't make the choice of a lovable savior, and Neville is the new legend. —4/4, Deson Thomson, The Washington Post; Finally, it's a unique sci-fi cult movie, folks. —3/4, Peter Reiner, Christian Science Monitor; Even for the third adaptation, Marvelous Young still finds a way to hit hearts, unforeseeable, sentimental to the point of collapse, and no waste of its labor, this summer's perfect work. —4/4, Scott, The New York Times; "I Am Legend" is the best summer blockbuster of that kind, it has an entertaining run, but it raises some questions and is deeply ingrained in our minds. —4/4, Roger Albert, Chicago Sun-Times...... The sun is high in the blue sky, the fierce sunlight is too much to look at, and there is a rare cool breeze in the middle of summer, but maybe the best way to beat the heat now is not to eat some ice food, but to run into the cinema to watch "I Am Legend"!
The full-fledged "I Am Legend" once again defended the prestige of Pokémon, Yang fans were excited, Yang black was sad, in fact there was no suspense at all, two mediocre adaptations of "The Last Man on Earth", "The Last Man", Warner Bros. considered for many years or sold it for a tattered project, while filming, blocking the pressure of filming...... These are not problems in front of 27-year-old Wang Yang!
215 film reviews, 98% freshness of popular film critics on Rotten Tomatoes, 97% freshness of well-known film critics!Another masterpiece!94% audience liking (325412 of participating users)!8.7 points on the Top-250 list of IMDb networks, A+, 90+ points, thumbs up everywhere...... After the producer & screenwriter of "The Green Hornet" and "Iron Man", Magic Young won a big victory in the film critics and audience circles for the third time this year! And it is a different genre, a different style and market, and the same applause and cheers!
"How crazy is that? He can make people laugh until their stomachs hurt, they can be so cool that they can get their adrenaline pumping, and they can make people's hearts so depressed that they can't stand it, and no matter what, their jaws ......are always hurt," said fan Marisa T, who concluded: "I'm glad I like Amazing Young, and as a fan, I'm very happy and happy." Indeed, those who do not like him, and who expect him to suffer Waterloo, must not be very happy to see these situations, right?
This summer, no one can compare to the Pokémon limelight! The crew of "I Am Legend" has suffered a lot of middle fingers, and now, audiences from all over the world give a thumbs up!
The word "incredible!" is constantly brought up, including Richard Matheson, the original author of "I Am Legend", who officially announced that he has also become a fan: "I like this young man, after watching "I Am Legend", I am sure that I am a fan of Wang Yang. ”
Apparently this time, the 81-year-old man was happy to have his name on the credits, and he praised the New York Times: "If I have one of my film adaptations, which one I like the most, it's that the whole movie is full of surprises, and this is my ideal, the real 'I Am Legend', the real Neville." Talking about "Logens Wansen" back then, Matheson was still very unhappy, but when he saw "I Am a Legend" in his lifetime, he sighed: "I have no regrets, I have to thank that young man." ”
The flash once again surrounded Wang Yang from all directions, as well as the congratulations and praises of friends, Jessica was naturally in a beautiful mood, and Keke's little face also had a happy smile all day long.
After a lapse of 5 years in "District 9", the audience tasted the loneliness, depression, and sadness again in this unusual summer blockbuster, even if the magic Yang was more charming than 5 years ago, it inevitably aroused the dissatisfaction of many audiences, and this time it was even more uncomfortable than "District 9"! The former finally retained a glimmer of hope, "I Am Legend" has nothing, in fact, Neville was not killed by mutants? They became good friends? No kidding.
Jackieort scored three and a half stars on Rotten Tomatoes: "The movie is definitely good, I have to say, Wang Yang did a great job, it has some cool elements, there are a lot of things that I didn't expect, but I don't like it, it's all so sad for me, I can only watch it happen." Not sure if I should recommend it or not. Olia A didn't hesitate to give five stars: "It's a great movie! Definitely won't waste your time! Maybe the ending is a little sad, but it just brings shock! I definitely recommend it." ”
"When Sam died, it was so sad. For the first time, I hated Wonder Jan so much, and he won my tears. Taylz6 also gave a perfect score; "I don't care about anything, what the subject, it's so nasty, it's terrible!" Alyssa K gave half a star, "Wow, perfect!" I saw the end with tears in my eyes, and I'm still thinking about it. The idea of loneliness, the acting ...... Love it!" Tim R loved it;" Will Smith gave an incredible performance, even though his dog overshadowed him, and Marvel Jan was amazing and awesome. "Morris F also gave it five stars.
In fact, the happiest people are the Doomsday Wasteland enthusiasts, unlike "Resident Evil" and "28 Days of Shock", this movie is so fucking good! everything is better than ever. Lorraine-D gave full marks to the show: "It's the movie I've always dreamed of, I was speechless to see the evacuation of Manhattan, I was overwhelmed by the weeds of New York, it was gripping, visually stunning, fantastic development and ending, it deserved an Oscar for Best Picture." ”…… At the same time, on the other hand, the review response of "Transformers" is also freshly released, it has a very good 89% audience liking on Rotten Tomatoes, but only 52%/61% review freshness.
Of course, it can't compete with the magical young sci-fi film "I Am Legend" that "puts Hollywood to shame", and it can't compare to the popcorn genre "Iron Man". The Detroit News' Tom Lang smashed B-: "'Transformers' is probably the most spectacular stupid movie of all time. ReelVies' James Pladinarius gave it a 1.5/4 rating: "For Transformers fans, I guess it's the general dream movie." For others, it's a nightmare. ”
However, Roger Albert rated a satisfactory three-quarter: "It has a lot of silly fun, the explosions are really good, and it is self-aware of its ridiculous absurdities and turns them into valuable possessions." ”
There's no acting, no thinking, not even a story, but as the Associated Press's David Gurimo says, "You don't really stop to think about it, or how empty and boring the story really is." However, with "steady throwing of fireworks", "Transformers" is indeed a gorgeous and gorgeous summer blockbuster worth watching, and it has a high fighting power at the box office charts.
Just running into Pokémon seems destined to be a tragedy for any film...... The weekend of July 6-8 passed, and "I Am Legend" won! The week of July 6-12 passed, and "I Am Legend" won!
"I Am Legend" grossed at the North American box office, with an average of $41,363 per theater in 4,015 theaters, while "Transformers" in second place was 132 million, with an average of $33,154 per theater in 4,011 theaters, also ranking second. It's a spectacle! The dazzling Autobots are no match for the last man on the lonely and desolate earth, and other films are even more difficult to escape the fate of being strangled by them, as if fans only watched those two films this week, and the box office trend was -55%, -57%, -63%, -59%...... But under the impact of this box office war, this week's box office total has reached the highest ever, as high as 402 million, and the fans and bosses are about to go crazy laughing! They really want to kiss Wang Yang's face until it is swollen! Who would dare to say that this is a tattered project? Following in the footsteps of the new line, Warner Bros. began to regret packaging and selling the "I Am Legend" project to Flame Films, but there is no regret medicine in the world, and they can only watch the box office of "I Am Legend" snowball, constantly increasing and expanding.
When July 13-19 passed, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" took over the North American weekly championship with 155 million, and "I Am Legend", which fell to the runner-up, earned 6607 (-60.2%) the next week, and the North American box office was 232 million / the global box office was 507 million, sweeping the earth! "Transformers", which failed to gain a box office champion, ranked third with 54.25 million (-58.9%).
For Warner Bros., the only and biggest good news is that after being hit by the ceiling of the plane cabin, Magic Young is still the same Magic Young, even more powerful Magic Young, since the age of 18, he has directed 12 movies that have all been blockbusters! The 20 films he participated in the production have all been blockbusters! They really don't have to worry about "The Dark Knight" anymore, Wang Yang is right, "If you understand why, then why did you ask me to do it?"
No one understands, but the whole world knows that the 27-year-old Wang Yang has a bright and vast world ahead of him, and his film career has just begun.
Including the media, fans, and industry professionals...... Everyone is paying attention to Wang Yang's new work plan, because according to convention, "Iron Man" will not rest, and it will come out soon, right? Of course, there are three magical bombs this summer, and the R-rated comedy produced and written by him, Jessica's comeback "Bridesmaids" will debut on August 3.
As the time gradually entered the end of July, the crew of "Firefly 2", which was in the stage of filming on location, ended their work in Canada, and Wang Yang's family returned to Los Angeles.
The morning sun was bright and warm, Keke carried a bucket of mud to the garden lawn and sat down, she poured out the mud, poured it back and forth with a yellow plastic toy shovel, and built two piles of mud with high and sharp points, and said to herself: "This is Dad, this is Mama............ Danny came lazily and arched the sand with his dog's nose, Keke hurriedly knocked it with a shovel, "No! You're bad!" Danny walked away in a huff.
"Wow, this one is beautiful!", "This one is very meaningful!", "Oh! SEET-" Wang Yang and Jessica hid behind the plane tree and continued to press the shutter of the digital camera to take a candid photo.
