Especially when it comes to film critics, "Monsters" is basically defined as a popcorn-style movie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In terms of plot, it was criticized by film critics as useless.

In fact, a movie like "Monster" itself is unlikely to be treated well by film critics, especially with "The Story of Hachiko" in front of Zhuyu, naturally the plot of "Monster" seems a bit empty.

However, this is also the norm for this kind of movie, even if it is the first monster movie to win with special effects, the plot often does not stand up to scrutiny, and a simple plot is the characteristic of this type of movie.

Because the protagonists of this kind of monster movies are often not people, but monsters.

As for the audience, the special effects of the movie "Monster" are still good, but as for the plot, it's hehe.

Although today's young people are becoming more and more contemptuous of authority and more and more autonomous, the comments of film critics can still influence a group of people, and the key is that no one in "The Story of Hachiko" does not think it is good.

Even if it is picky, it can only be said sourly that the first half of this movie is too bland, but it is undeniable that as long as you have seen it, you are basically moved to tears.

It's hard to pick on a movie like "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog", after all, a classic is a classic.

And if "Monster" is the first super special effects movie like "Jurassic Park" in the previous life to enter people's eyes, maybe "The Story of Hachiko" will only be killed in seconds no matter how good the reputation is, but obviously "Monster" is not.

In fact, in this era when 3D movies have not yet been popularized, the special effects of monster movies are far from achieving the best results.

So when the two films were released at the same time, the box office of the two films "The Story of Hachiko" and "Monster" was unexpectedly comparable.

The box office of "Monster" on the first day was only hundreds of thousands higher than "The Story of Hachiko", which was loyal to the dog.

In terms of attendance, "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is also on par with "Monster".

If the cost of the two films is comparable, then this situation is normal, but the point is that the cost difference between the two films is almost 100 times, and the result is almost the first day box office.

It's clear which is better and which is worse at a glance.

After the first day of screening, in terms of word-of-mouth, "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" still reached an astonishing zero negative reviews.

In terms of the audience score of the film and television library, "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" directly exploded "Monster".

"The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" has more than 100,000 ratings, but the score is still as high as 9.3 points, and "Monster" also has more than 100,000 ratings, but it is only 7.6 points.

In fact, a popcorn movie can have a score of 7.6 points, which is already very good, but it depends on who you compare with, "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is currently ranked among the top three in the film and television library, and "Monster" is not ranked in the top five even among similar movies.

In terms of looking at the reviews of film critics and the media.

"The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" has a total of 126 film critics and media reviews, with a positive rating of 95%, and the star rating of film critics is four and a half stars.

"Monster" has a total of 138 film critics and media reviews, but the praise rate is only 53%, and the star rating of film critics is less than three stars.

Of course, the reason for this situation is that the "Monster" movie itself is a pure commercial film of popcorn, and "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is no longer a pure commercial film, but a more profound feature film, which has a lot to do with it.

This can be seen from the film history score of monster movies, the highest-rated monster movie is only 9 points, and only one has reached this score.

Not to mention 9 points for the rest, not even higher than 8 points.

What is interesting is that "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog" can be said to be a killing of men and women of all ages in terms of audience crowds, while "Monster" is not treated well by female audiences.

Tianhai City Wanxing Cinema.

"It's a big production of 200 million US dollars, that special effects, our Huaguo movie, I don't know when it will be done. ”

"Even if it is done, no one dares to invest it, 200 million US dollars, how much box office will it take to recover the cost?"

"That's right. ”

Two male audience members who walked out of the "Monsters" theater were discussing the shocking special effects of "Monsters".

Most of the other audiences who came out of the "Monsters" theater are the same, basically talking about the special effects, but there is no discussion about the plot.

And on the other side.

A screening of "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" has also been completed.

Unlike the audience who came out of the "Monster" theater and discussed it with great interest, the audience who came out of the "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" theater actually had red eyes, and many of them still had tears on their faces when they walked out of the theater.

"I'm going, what's the situation? Do you want to be so exaggerated?" The audience who had just finished watching the "Monsters" movie couldn't help but complain when they saw a large number of viewers with red eyes.

"I heard that there is no one who doesn't cry when I watch "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", I thought it was fake, but it turned out to be so exaggerated. Another audience member was surprised.

"It's still early, why don't we go see another one?"

"Okay, the special effects of "Monster" really didn't say, but the plot is hehe, I don't know if "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" is really so touching, I haven't cried because of watching the movie for a long time, I want to see if "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" is really so touching. ”

"Let's take two copies of "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog". ”

"Aren't there any better seats?" saw that on the seat selection screen, there were only seats in the front row, and the audience couldn't help frowning.

Before he could finish speaking, his companion said in surprise: ", the front row is the front row, and there are a few fewer seats in this special time to speak." ”

After selecting a seat, the conductor handed two packs of tissues to two people.

"Hehe, I even gave tissues, I'm really confident. ”

It is not uncommon to see suggestive marketing methods such as sending tissues to movies.

Generally speaking, it is only those films that are prone to tear-jerking that will use this marketing method.

When I first watched it, these two viewers who had watched "Monster" before were a little absent-minded, and felt that "The Story of Hachiko, the Loyal Dog" didn't seem to be as touching as they imagined.

It's funny, it's warm, but it's a little too bland, isn't it?

However, with the death of the professor, they found out that they were wrong, and then, in fact, the plot is still very simple, but the two of them asked themselves that the big man who was rarely moved by the movie cried, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and the tears in his eyes slipped involuntarily.

When they saw Hachiko persistently appearing in that place day after day, year after year, just to wait for the return of their master, they could no longer hold back their tears.

And the audience is the same, but strangely, this tear is not because of sadness, but because of moving.

Even if the actor dies, no one feels sad, after all, the actor is not young in the film.

But seeing the picture of the dog Hachiko insisting on waiting for the return of his master, tears began to spread little by little.
