……

On May 14, almost all the media reported on the premiere of "Troy", both in terms of coverage and attention, it was higher than the "day after tomorrow" premiere last week, especially the unexpected attendance of Lance, which completely detonated the gossip of the media.

Lance's hint at the premiere was fueled by reporters and began to speculate: Warner Bros. wanted Lance, who filmed "City of God", to direct "Troy", and Lance also showed that he was very good during the audition, which made Warner Bros. satisfied, but Brad opposed this choice, and even did not hesitate to withdraw from the project as a threat, the main reason is that Brad believes that Lance is not famous enough and is not strong enough to control the big scene and big scene like "Troy", and finally Warner Bros. can only give up Lance, Wolfgang-Petersen was chosened.

Of course, none of these groundless speculations have been confirmed by either side. Including Reims. When reporters besieged him for details, Lance laughed and denied that it was just a joke, and reaffirmed his friendship with Brad; Warner Bros. later denied it. Even that won't help. People's enthusiasm for internal gossip has gone far beyond imagination.

Especially in the case of the box office showdown between "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", the heat of the discussion is even more difficult to control. This also pushed the box office duel between the two works to a new peak, and almost the entire film market is hotly discussing this showdown, whether the box office of "Troy" crushes the "day after tomorrow", or the "day after tomorrow" achieves a miraculous counterattack again. It has become a topic that everyone does not want to miss.

Less than twelve hours after the premiere, the first reviews of "Troy" were released, and 24 media outlets released professional film reviews for the first time, once again beating the "day after tomorrow" in terms of quantity, but the result surprised everyone, because this much-anticipated epic masterpiece ushered in a wave of scolding, almost bathed in criticism, and could not raise its head.

The Wall Street Journal gave a harsh criticism, giving it a very low rating of only 20 points, "in the work 'Troy'." Like a puffy dead skin, all the qiē was magnified, but there was only an empty shell, frighteningly pale and powerless, and the delicate costumes and scenes soon turned into Trojan horses and Achilles' heels. ”

The New York Times was only twenty-five minutes long, and "the clash between the computer-generated Trojan horse and the Mycenaean army looked empty and empty, a long way from the epic, as if it were just looking at a child's toy box, just a war between plastic villains." This makes Peterson's shots look boring and boring. It's drowsy. ”

The "New Yorker" has a rating of twenty-five, "'Troy' looks good, dazzlingly gorgeous, but in fact. After a while, a dud is revealed—characters flattened to the point of no ink, or a story, or a brain, that almost ruined the grandeur of Homer's epic poem. ”

The New York Post scored thirty points, said in the comments. "What really makes Wolfgang Petersen's 'Troy' one of Hollywood's worst disasters in recent years is: lackluster set and plot framework, characterization that has been overlooked by Yan Zhan, a useless script, and a brainless story that completely destroys Homer's 'Iliad......"

"Variety", which is a representative magazine of Hollywood, commented, "Judging from the war scenes, Peterson's scheduling still shows his ability, the rhythm is brisk, does not drag the mud and water, and brings the man's battle to the extreme; But the problem is that the audience is constantly torn between 'whose story is this' and 'Brad Pitt's hips/head', and the lack of personality of the characters leaves everyone confused after the movie. "Thirty-five points, that's what they scored.

Roger Ebert's review in the Chicago Sun was no exception, "The film eschews the existence of the Greek gods, evolving the hero into an action movie cliché." The problem is that we're tired of armies of computers. "A review of just 38 points is terrible.

It can be clearly seen that in the midst of the scolding, the media comprehensive evaluation of "Troy" is very miserable, and the negative reviews of large and large bright red are simply shocking. In fact, in the first batch of reviews, 14 out of 24 media outlets gave negative reviews, while the last six gave neutral "mixed reviews" – that is, mixed reviews, with only four giving them positive reviews.

The San Francisco Chronicle gave it a perfect score of 100 out of 100 that stunned everyone, "It's definitely one of the best epic films in Hollywood history, and it's a very eye-catching film with a top-notch cast and a compelling story." ”

The Los Angeles Times also gave support, but the score was obviously much more conservative, giving a score of 75, "'Troy' is obviously not as good as 'Gladiator', let alone missing an Oscar-level screenwriter." But why should we give up a visual feast gift when summer movie heaven arrives? ”

The Seattle Post commented, "In this epic film of grandeur and grandeur, they blend the grandeur of fight scenes with the closeness of emotional connection, honor and obsession, romance and masculinity, in order to show the charm and stupidity of war." The eighty-point evaluation is also clearly positive.

The Hollywood Reporter's review was intriguing, "Entertainment epic, Eye.Candy." Obviously, they made Brad's plea/nudity/exposure in the film a promotional focus, and actors including Orlando Bloom, Eric Barna, Diane Kruger, and others also showed off their good figures. In the end, they gave seventy-five points.

These are the only four positive reviews in the first batch of reviews, and in the midst of a storm of criticism, they seem to be alone and isolated. In the face of all the antiquity, "Troy" made a brilliant debut, but the result surprised everyone, and the bad reviews were unexpected - if the polarization of "the day after tomorrow" is typical of commercial films, then "Troy" falling into the vortex of bad reviews is a complete disaster.

In the end, the media review of "Troy" was temporarily fixed at 51 points - thanks to the generosity of the "San Francisco Chronicle", the film's first round score was more than half thrilling, and it did not fall into a more embarrassing situation. But even so, this still made Warner Bros. stunned.

The media comprehensive evaluation of "Troy" is even lower than that of "the day after tomorrow"? It's simply ...... Terrible news!

Diorama Pictures is even more panicked, although Tucker constantly comforts himself that the impact of ratings and box office is not direct, and the influence of film critics on the box office market is limited; But the media has put them in a situation where they are extremely passive, and worse, they are limited in what they can do in the current situation. In addition to publicity, it is still publicity, and we can only hope for a strong cast lineup to attract enough audiences into the cinema.

Ryan is well aware that there is no regret medicine in this world, and although he has always been very reluctant to work with high investment and high cost, he knows very well that high stakes are just that, either win big or lose completely. Now that the choice has been made and "Troy" is in the boat, it is better to devote himself to publicity than to regret it - at least the premiere weekend is only Friday now, and it is the right way to attract as many audiences as possible to the cinema before the impact of the media review is further fermented.

What's more, the theater scores, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDB have not yet been released, and the audience's feedback is still their lifeline.

No one thought that the first round of media comprehensive review showdown between "Troy" and "The Day After Tomorrow" would actually be won by the latter, which is indeed a result that makes people laugh and cry. However, for the summer file, media reviews have never been their goal, just as the "day after tomorrow" media comprehensive review only scored 64 points, and still achieved a box office success, the goal of "Troy" is also locked on the premiere box office.

With the grand premiere, the second week of May ushered in a new movie-going frenzy, but this time it was noticeably more interesting than the previous week, because there were so many options, and this is the most interesting part of the summer season: every week there are blockbusters, every week has absolute focus, and every week there are countless options.

It's only the second week of the summer season, and there are only two options, so things are relatively simpler, so ...... Is it "Troy" or "acquired"?

This is not a problem at all for Sean Wells, because he has already made the decision on the Super Bowl scene, "'The day after tomorrow', two, thank you!" (To be continued.) )
