Chapter 747: You Suck, But I Still Love You
Out of an IMAX3D theater in New Orleans, Iren gently rubbed his eyes and walked into the parking lot, found the Camaro sports car that had been mortgaged last month, and drove in the direction of home, he was fast, almost reaching the limit of the speed limit, because he was in a hurry to go back, eager to share his excitement and joy with others.
Back home, Ilyen sat in front of the computer for the first time, and after logging on to Disney-Ryan Family Online, he clicked on the column belonging to "Transformers".
Luckily, he can be regarded as the first person in North America to see the film, and now it is still quiet on the Internet, and Iren quickly typed down the lines of letters.
"After learning that Ryan chose Michael? When Bey took over "Transformers," I was as sorry as countless others as I was about to make an epic movie, and I was even worried that a director who had never been able to handle a great plot would be able to provide us with a story with vivid twists and turns. ”
"But now I understand that I was wrong, I went to the cinema to watch "Transformers" for the Autobots and Decepticons, for the explosion, to stimulate my visual and auditory nerves, whatever connotation, what philosophy, all aside."
"From the above, Ryan definitely got the right person, Michael? What Bei is best at is exploding! What if I watched the movie today to Ryan and Michael? If Bei is not satisfied, it is that there are not enough Transformers on the screen! ”
"The special effects of "Transformers" are so good, if this movie is at the highest throne of CGI special effects, the special effects of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Jurassic Park 3" released this summer can only be circled on the side steps, which is basically a two-level effect, "Transformers" simply makes me hard to believe that these big guys are made by computers."
"Don't talk about the blocks in the cartoons, although this is our childhood memory, I really can't imagine what it would be like to put those blocks in this film, don't look at a few stills and shout these broken copper and iron like skeletons and stuff, because you can feel the shock of these 'broken copper and iron' on the screen. IF YOU'RE NOT A DIE-HARD FAN OF THE ANIMATED VERSION OF ABSOLUTE CONSERVATIVES, THEN I CAN GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL DEFINITELY ACCEPT THESE SO-CALLED BROKEN COPPER AND IRON IN THE FILM. ”
"This film is not for the audience to talk about life or pretend to be connotative, this film has only two purposes, first, to make money in your pocket, and second, to make you feel cool after spending money. I just came out of the theater, and I saw that most of the audience who walked into the theater felt refreshed, and they were just as enjoyable as me. I plan to contribute to the second box office tomorrow. ”
Uploading his feelings to the website, Iren refreshed the page, which already had other people's feelings about the movie.
"It's over, it's out of mind again."
"The classic "Transformers", even if it premieres with a bunch of posters, there will be fanatical followers who are in shock of excitement, so the schedule of the AMC theater I went to showed that almost all the scheduled films were given to "Transformers", and I was still pretending to be calm, but I lost my mind as soon as the film opened."
"The film can only be described as stunningly gorgeous. When the sound of machinery sounded one after another during the transformation, the whole theater was suffocated......"
"Finally, I love Ryan and Michael? Bey. ”
The day after the film's release, it was the traditional Thanksgiving holiday in North America. On this Thanksgiving, "Transformers" simply can't find competitors of the same magnitude, and the film's PG-13 rating is enough to ensure that most families can enter the theater en masse. 3D tickets are a bit tight, but you can always queue up to buy them, and the IMAX hall is almost full. Tickets for this weekend were booked out early.
"I called to book tickets yesterday, only to find that the IMAX version of the tickets were gone, and I finally booked the 3D version of the tickets, or the midnight show."
Complaints like these are all over the place.
However, compared with the 3D and IMAX versions of the film, the ordinary 2D version is not particularly powerful, and the attendance rate is not too high, which must have affected the box office of the film.
But even so, the film stole $58.5 million from North America on Friday, becoming the second-highest single-day box office in North America after "The Hunger Games" of $67.26 million. Bey's best single-day box office results.
"Transformers" started smoothly, and did not make Disney relax the rhythm of publicity, once 130 million US dollars in publicity and marketing expenses, Disney is still in the hands of close to 35 million US dollars, after the film was released simultaneously around the world, along with one after another promotional activities, the funds were thrown out one after another.
The Internet is now an important propaganda front, and just after the premiere of the film, Disney launched a campaign on the Internet - Transformers, Our Collective Memory!
Looking at those familiar old pictures, as well as the fresh movie shapes, it evokes the memories of countless people.
"When I saw the pictures of Transformers from the 80s, I felt so kind, and it reminded me of when I was a child! Only those who lived through our time can appreciate the resonance of "Transformers" in our hearts, which was part of our childhood, and now this part appears in a more realistic image! ”
"At that time, I hated being called a hornet, everyone was vying to be Megatron, and it seemed that the Decepticons were much more popular than the Autobots, maybe the Autobots were not so bright and upright every time, it was all the help of the director, and many of my peers around me learned to say in Megatron's tone - the enemy has been discovered and is ready to launch!"
"The newer, more high-tech version of the movie is very good, but for me, only the oldest version of Transformers that I watched as a child is worth nostalgic, and the clumsy lines and a bit outdated movements make me feel very relatable."
"Transformers" has been around for so many years and has cultivated a large number of fans in North America, just like the "Los Angeles Times" said.
"As an emotional bond connecting a generation born in the seventies and eighties, the status of "Transformers" is particularly prominent, so there are now Transformers fan clubs, Transformers annual meetings, and online fan exchange activities, which are enough to provide the most basic audience for "Transformers" live-action movies."
On Saturday, the popularity of the film dropped slightly, with the 3D and IMAX versions still maintaining a very high attendance, while the 2D audience fell faster.
The North American box office on this day showed a certain decline as Ryan expected, but the single-day box office of $51.5 million has successfully pushed the North American box office of "Transformers" to the $100 million mark.
Compared with the good reputation among ordinary fans, the film has been unanimously criticized by film critics.
"Although the system zuò people Ryan? Jenkins and director Michael? Bay has a knack for CGI toys and action scenes, but they don't have a brilliant talent for ransom for human life, and the story of "Transformers" on Earth is boring and surprisingly lifeless, and overall it's a film full of epic noise and nonsense. ”
It's strange that this type of film can please those veteran film critics, and the film that has been unanimously praised by them has never had such a horrible single-day box office.
Of course, it is impossible for any film to please everyone, and even some ordinary viewers, after watching the film, do not find it so interesting.
"The biggest feeling after watching the film is dizziness and confusion! Aside from Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, I couldn't tell the other mechs, let alone call them by name! When I look at the war between them, I have one feeling - chaos! It is not clear who is fighting and how, and it feels slightly better for people and machines to fight. Since I'm not a Transformers fan and haven't watched anime, I want to ask if Autobots can only change cars? Megatron: How can they turn into planes and tanks? ”
"Also, the plot of the film is too simple and thin, I originally went to watch the film because of Ryan, but it turned out that he was not the protagonist at all, just a group of supporting partners, in short, the villain machine qì people, decent machine qì people and human characters are very simple, I think if it is designed as a human desire is infinite, vainly trying to master and control all the Transformers, but in the end it will be self-defeating, the theme may be more profound."
There are even viewers who don't like this type of film, and after watching "Transformers", they made more sharp comments.
"I feel that "Transformers" is a special effects show, I don't have any special feelings for Transformers, and I don't have any interest in blockbusters at all, so it feels very average."
"According to Ryan? Jenkins's usual rhythm of commercial films, if the funds are sufficient, he and Michael Bay? Maybe Bey will cut out the content of human appearances, and only shoot the Decepticons to invade the earth, the Autobots to protect it, and then fight from the Pentagon to the Panama Canal, and then into the Pacific Ocean......"
"In this way, the whole film is performing special effects, changing and fighting, and humans are throwing stones around in it, so it must be more beautiful to act for two hours!"
As more and more people commented on "Transformers," Ryan simply jumped out and posted an article on his blog and Facebook.
"This is a movie with our childhood dreams, "Transformers" has fulfilled a real dream of ours, I like the moment of transformation of Transformers the most, high technology is always the driving force for the beautification of the movie, looking forward to the second ......"
In the eyes of some Transformers fans, the film fulfilled their dreams; In the eyes of others, the film ruined the fond memories of their childhood.
But except for a very small number of diehards, the vast majority of Transformers fans still walked into the theater again and again.
Actually, Michael? Bei's words in an exclusive interview are the most representative, "The audience's evaluation is very inconsistent, some people say that I have fulfilled their childhood dreams, some people directly scold me for being unreliable, and some viewers say to me - you are terrible, but I still love you."
