A theater in Los Angeles.

Jackson, the film critic, followed the flow of people into the theater.

The next movie he will watch is "Fantastic Four 2".

"Fantastic Four 2" is the hottest movie today, and the film schedule is half more than the other "Pacific Rim", which is also released today.

It's understandable, after all, this is a Marvel IP, and there are several characters at once.

The previous work was also successful.

The casting of the actors is also great.

In the movie, there is his favorite Jessica Alba.

Jackson wasn't much of a comic book fan, and he wasn't primarily for work, he was more for Jessica.

It's a great way to check out the goddess and enjoy the movie, and it's a great way to complete the movie review task and start a wonderful weekend.

Of course, he also wants to watch Lu Ping'an's "Pacific Rim".

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a fan of Lu Ping'an.

But he's not a huge fan of him after all.

So naturally, you have to watch what you like to watch first.

After entering the theater and sitting down, he looked around.

Attendance is quite high.

He estimates that the box office of "Fantastic Four 2" will not be bad this time.

Jessica is going to be famous!

Jackson was a little happy in his heart.

Soon, the movie opens.

"Fantastic Four 2" tells the story of four superheroes who first fight the new boss Silver Surfer, and then form an alliance with him to fight the big boss Planet Eater together.

The story is simple and in line with the tone of a superhero popcorn movie.

Fans and fans are looking for this kind of movie.

Look at the fight scenes, look at the special effects, see the handsome actors and actresses, and then the plot is passable, this kind of movie is basically not a problem.

It's just that

Is the producer of Fantastic Four 2 sick?

Not long after the movie opened, Jackson, who prides himself on being relatively tolerant of movies, can't help but have such a question in his mind.

Because he soon discovered a big poisonous spot.

Jessica Alba, what a beautiful actress, how can she be so ugly in this movie?

It's not an easy task to make Jessica Alba ugly.

However, the cinematography of this film really did it.

At the beginning of the film, there is a big close-up of Jessica Alba, who plays the "invisible woman", but the effect of the filming, Tony feels that it looks at least ten years older!

And the makeup has not been handled with any care, looking like a nightclub girl, she definitely stayed up late last night.

Not to mention that compared with Jessica's original "Dictionary Lover", even the first part is not as good as it!

And if you look at it again, there is more than this one, and it is not the biggest one.

For example, special effects.

It stands to reason that the theme of the Fantastic Four, with the rich materials in the original Marvel books, and the addition of invincible characters such as Silver Surfer and Planet Devourer, the special effects can be made magnificent, and the abilities of these four people alone can play a lot of flowers.

Even if you can't achieve the effectiveness of the X-Men, you won't fail.

But unfortunately, the production team seems to have collectively lost their imagination.

The special effects of the whole film, as long as there is a scene where Silver Surfer appears, such as the scene of the rescue of the London Eye, the highly textured material design and rendering process, and motion capture, are indeed serious Hollywood blockbusters, especially the different psychological states of Silver Surfer, including the loss of the surfboard under his feet and the regain of energy, the transformation of the color and luster of the two bodies is very exquisite.

But the rest gave Jackson the illusion of another movie.

For example, at the beginning of the film, there is a very boring special effect, when Mr. Fantastic was on a plane, he had no place to put his luggage, so he quietly used his superpower to reach out to the luggage rack opposite, which turned out to be that the old lady had no place to put her luggage, which is actually not a good demonstration in terms of the social effect of the script.

There is also the second climax in the end, the fire man played by Chris Evans, who has not yet become the American team, came up with a way to gather everyone's abilities and became a "Frankenstein", at this time Jackson thought that the funds could be burned again, but he found that he thought too much, and in the film, he actually became the appearance of Aladdin's lamp god!

Good guys, what is this!

Bad and bad, bad accounts for most of the special effects, if there is a good plot support, it is still not a big problem.

But the problem is that the plot is also rough!

The plot of the whole movie looks like this in Jackson's opinion:

There is a naked "Silver Surfer" who is suspected of being a liquid robot in "The Terminator", who was originally going to kill the earth, of course, he doesn't have this skill yet, his master is called the "Planet Devourer", who specializes in eating planets to enhance his physique.

Then with a few swishs, when Silver Surfer flew over the earth, he woke up the villain Dr. in the first part of "Fantastic Four", and then inexplicably resurrected and cured the "iron disease" on his body.

Mister Fantastic creates a good-looking device and detects Silver Surfer, and then Doctor Doom pretends to join forces with them, but in fact wants to take Silver Surfer's surfboard.

The next scene is one of the few shots in the whole film that can make people think that they are watching a "blockbuster" made by Hollywood's top industrial manufacturing, and it is the scene where the London Eye is uprooted by the powerful energy of the Silver Surfer.

The plot behind is rapidly fermenting in a catch-up rhythm.

Suddenly, inexplicably, the Silver Surfer became better, and then these superheroes, with the "lightning speed and stealing the bell", quickly swept through China, and in a few seconds, from the Great Wall to Shanghai.

Everyone worked together to kill the Doctor of Destruction, and the invisible woman Jessica Alba died in the line of duty, but she was still inexplicably waved a few times by the Silver Surfer like a trick, and did not explain the principle of this operation, and the invisible woman was instantly resurrected.

And in the last few minutes of the film, I thought that the super invincible boss who had paved the way for the whole film, the planetary devourer who was far beyond Thanos's creation god-like existence, would make a stunning appearance, show off a wave of skills, and then let the audience see the burning funds.

But Jackson soon found himself overthinking.

Silver Surfer uses a very simple trick: self-destruct, and he drives the Planet Eater away.

That's it?

That's gone?

The intricate relationship between the Devourer of Planets and the Silver Surfer, the source of their power, and the strength of their abilities are not mentioned at all, and the connection between the various plots can be said to be able to leave a blank space and will not give you a word more.

As a result, now the director seems to be hinting to the audience with the length of the film: "Marvel's plot is so complicated, it's so troublesome to disassemble, I really want to get a perfunctory salary, do you like to watch it."

Then he found out that the whole movie was less than an hour and a half, right?

The film involves at least 7 important characters in the comics, and it's only an hour and a half?!

This is filmed by other directors, so many heroes, at least three works with a duration of more than 2 hours can be made!

It can be said that "Fantastic Four 2" perfectly avoids all the methods that comic book movies may create highlight moments, whether it is the director, the script or the special effects, they all give people a feeling that every type of work seems to be absent-minded.

Until he walked out of the theater, Jackson didn't figure out what Twentieth Century Fox thought, what the producers of this film thought!

Jackson feels that although this film can still be watched, it is far from as good as advertised!

There are many viewers who have similar thoughts to him, just look at the expressions of those who came out together.

Either frowning, or calm.

Needless to say, what this expression represents.

After watching a good film, the expression will definitely not be like this.

At this moment, Jackson noticed that the theater next door had also ended the screening, and the fans who came out were chatting with each other, and some even danced about something.

This is how it will perform after watching a good film!

Jackson was curious, and then he found a girl and asked, "What movie did you just watch?" ”

"Pacific Rim."

The girl gave a simple answer and left, not wanting to leave the man's mobile phone number.

Jackson didn't bother to pay attention to this, he had already walked to the ticket office.

"I want a ticket to Pacific Rim." (End of chapter)
