"The most expensive film in history = the biggest box office tragedy in history!"

The day after "Avatar" officially landed in North America, film critics couldn't wait to shout such a slogan, which is enough to prove how eager these people are, how eager Ryan's investment in the movie is over, and by the way, he himself is unlucky.

"Since Titanic, Ryan? Jenkins's advocacy of special effects and large investment industrialization model has brought too much visual garbage, "Avatar" can be described as a work that exerts these two to the extreme, it will only cause aesthetic fatigue for the audience, if you don't want to watch the film after the ear ringing and eyes tired and tearful, it's better not to watch this film, it is simply overdrawing human vision and hearing! ”

There are no surprises, as the initiator and convener of the "Avatar" operation on the surface, Roger? Albert was the first to step up.

"If you are full of expectations for people and things that you can't grasp, you will inevitably end up with a similar Cheng dù, and the same is true of our super imagination of "Avatar"."

"After watching the film, after a long period of stereoscopic visual bombardment, those so-called whimsical ideas become a blank with the disappearance of the image, except for some sensory stimulation, the story, the theme, the characters, and even some pleasing pictures are familiar, and the huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is just a mash-up of various successful commercial blockbusters, and there is no new content that makes people evocative, and the so-called revolution is just empty wishful thinking."

"The creative process of "Avatar" is exactly the time when all kinds of commercial blockbusters are in full swing with investment and scale, and they are everywhere for reference, so that people can see others everywhere, but not themselves."

"In terms of imagination, love is the most mindless part of "Avatar", and the specific plot progresses, including heroes and beauties, bows and cannons, and other typical elements. From encounters, misunderstandings, family opposition to eliminating misunderstandings, the rise and fall of handsome guys rebelling against the love of beautiful women and the old routine; Good triumphs over evil. The bad guys die ugly, the good guys have the last laugh, and love lasts forever...... There are also a lot of vulgar elements in Hollywood. ”

"Let's talk about special effects. What can be slightly praised for the film is the special effects, but even the special effects scenes cannot be confused with the groundbreaking revolution, the previous "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars", "The Matrix", "The Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" are all before it, and they are not inferior.

"This time Cameron just integrated them and used 3D technology."

Roger? After Albert, those former well-known film critics, like grasshoppers entering the late autumn season, also popped out one after another.

"The story mode of Avatar. It's undoubtedly too old-fashioned, for such a top blockbuster of the year, the story can't surprise people from the trailer release to the release of the film, and it will eventually expose the 3D stereoscopic movie scam and destroy Ryan? Jenkins and James? The myth of Cameron! ”

-- J.R. Jones

"The plot of "Avatar" can't help but recall the same empty "Titanic", the plot is really general, visually novel, and the theme is a little more environmentally friendly, which is far from shocking for people who have watched 3D movies! After reading it, there is basically nothing worth remembering! The consequences of putting too much emphasis on technology. What it brings is the emptiness of thought! ”

- David? Dengbi

These film critics have used the media that are willing to do things for money, and they have published criticisms of the film. Morgenstern still shamelessly lashed out at James? Cameron: This is plagiarizing a certain Japanese "Castle in the Sky......

Film critics will naturally be dealt with by powerful water armies and fans with a wide audience, and the impact of plagiarism is even greater. James? Cameron also made some responses in the interview afterwards.

"It's just a joke."

The truck driver will certainly not be polite to film critics who have been criticizing themselves, "Film critics always treat film workers with the worst eyes and the most despicable minds!" ”

"The prototype of Mount Hallelujah comes from a mountain peak in China." Cameron also showed some photos to reporters, "These steep mountains, the texture of the rocks gave us inspiration. It's just that we put the prototype in the sky, I haven't been to China before, and the crew sent people to China to film. I decided to absorb some of the elements after looking at the images. ”

Subsequently, Disney gave Joe directly? Morgenstern mailed the lawyer's letter, didn't they want to make a big fuss, then make a big fuss, see you in court!

In the face of the so-called 'strangulation' of North American film critics, Ryan and Disney also paid a little attention to it, and the momentum of the other party was indeed a little amazing, and the high investment of "Avatar" could not help but make them pay attention to it.

The development trajectory of the film is completely different from Ryan's previous impression, the professional reputation of "Avatar" is very poor, on the Rotten Tomatoes website, which specializes in professional film reviews, in just two days, the freshness of the film fell to 51%, and if you only look at professional word-of-mouth, it is simply a super bad movie.

This also fully proves that film critics are a group that will be swayed by interests, and the so-called relative justice is only 'relative'.

After the first day of fermentation, the word-of-mouth of "Avatar" among ordinary audiences has exploded directly, and various websites, forums and communities, as well as the emerging Twitter and Facebook, are almost all voices recommending the film.

"It's not boring to look at, James? Cameron transports us to another world with realistic 3D special effects, and "Avatar" makes people believe that technological innovations will indeed change the look and feel of the movie. In addition to the sense of innovation, "Avatar" also alludes to many issues such as politics, culture, environmental protection, race, religion, etc., and director Cameron's ambition is as strong as imagination! ”

"It's not a simple movie, it's a gold mine, it's worth digging into!"

"Avatar is the most beautiful film I've seen in recent years!"

"Whether you choose 3D or normal mode, the shock and awe that Avatar brings is worth watching."

"It's actually a film we've seen before, but like we've never seen before, it's Star Wars of our time!"

"James? Cameron proved that he is indeed the king of the world, and as the president of the army of visual effects technology, biodesign, motion capture, stuntman, dancer, actor, music and sound, he has brought science fiction into the 21st century in a jaw-dropping way, and this is "Avatar"! ”

As long as ordinary fans like it, it is enough to drive the box office of the movie.

The day after the release of "Avatar" was Saturday, and the box office rebounded strongly, with the North American box office soaring to $47.85 million in a single day, and the global box office earning $178.58 million.

In the midst of the 'encirclement and suppression' of North American film critics, in just two days, the global box office of "Avatar" has exceeded the $300 million mark!

At the same time, more Hollywood professionals have seen the film, and their reviews are more convincing than those of the so-called discerning critics.

"Movies have new rules of the game, and Avatar is the future!" - Jon? Favreau

"You can divide film history by 'before Avatar' and 'after Avatar'." - Steven? Soderbergh

"It's a kind of 'perceptual' film that makes your film look different, and I should start working on 3D cinema as well." - Ridley? Scott

"The audience of the first sound film was shocked by the sound, the audience of the first color film was shocked by the color, and Avatar did the same thing." - George? Lucas

"The Renaissance in the History of Cinema." - Luc? Besson

The praise of real professionals and the word-of-mouth audience among fans finally drove the boom of "Avatar", and then on Sunday, the North American box office bucked the trend, winning $52.15 million in a single day, while the global box office reported $212.41 million!

So far, in the first three days, "Avatar" has won more than $126 million in North America, and the global box office has successfully exceeded $500 million!

More importantly, the reverse growth trend that violates the laws of film screening is the most terrible thing in the two days after the film, and many people unconsciously think of the big ship more than ten years ago, the ship that cost people's lives, and there have been several reverse growth at the box office, and finally set a global box office record, and it has been maintained to this day.

Don't......

Many people in Hollywood have started to associate that this record began with Ryan? Jenkins and James? Cameron, is it up to them to end it themselves?

After three days over the weekend, the box office of "Avatar" will inevitably decline on weekdays, but the theater chain has expanded rapidly, from 3,452 to 4,155 theaters in North America, and the new 600 theaters are almost all showing 3D and IMAX versions.

The arrival of the weekday also alleviated the situation of a hard to find a ticket for the 3D version on Sunday, with the film grossing $28.5 million on Monday, $23.45 million on Tuesday, $22 million on Wednesday, and $21.5 million on Thursday, breaking almost all weekday North American box office records since the second week of the film's release.

Before the arrival of a new weekend, the North American box office of "Avatar" has steadily exceeded $220 million, and the global box office has exceeded the $800 million mark!

In the following weekend and three days, "Avatar" faced the challenge of Twentieth Century Fox's "Elwin and the Chipmunk 2", and the battle between the two had no suspense at all.

"Erwin and the Squirrel 2" only got $32.87 million at the North American box office in three days over the weekend, while "Avatar" scored $111.05 million!

As soon as the latest weekend box office statistics were released, several executives of Twentieth Century Fox went to News Corp.'s headquarters in New York with ugly faces, and when they returned to Los Angeles, their faces became even more ugly. (To be continued......)
