Chapter 285: "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is released, breaking the record again!
The feature film of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is two and a half hours long, just like the second part.
But this time, the third part did not feel as boring and long as the second part did for some critics.
On the contrary, the two-and-a-half-hour period seems to pass in the blink of an eye, and all the moviegoers are immersed in the story of the movie, without peeing spots throughout the whole process, not noticing the passage of time at all.
One familiar face after another appears, and one after another rhythmic and relaxed conflicts occur, making the whole story full of appeal.
On the original trajectory, the reputation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was not very bad.
And after Wu Yuan adjusted the rhythm and increased the conflict scenes and scenes, as a commercial action movie, it is absolutely no problem for this movie to beat the blockbusters of the same period.
As the final work of the trilogy, the story content of the third part has reached the end of the confrontation, and the duel between the pirates and the East India Trading Company, the duel between Will and Jones, and the relationship between Will and Elizabeth have all been explained at the end.
The background of the story worldview such as the resurrection of Barbossa, the organization of the Pirate King of the Seven Seas, and the appearance of the female sea god makes people feel like an epic blockbuster.
The story of the pirates' constantly changing positions, instant combinations and broken alliances at any time, no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, and even no eternal life and death.
The only constant is the freedom that pirates yearn for.
The newly introduced line of King of the Seven Seas expands the world view of Pirates of the Caribbean at a macro level, adding many new elements.
Liu Yifei, who has newly joined the third part, can be called the finishing touch of the whole movie, with a total of three fight scenes before and after, namely being ordered by Xiaofeng to arrest Captain Jack, protect Elizabeth, and participate in the final battle.
In the three fight scenes, Liu Yifei showed the demeanor of Huaxia Dao Ma Dan very well, bringing a little Chinese kung fu shock to the audience.
If there are no follow-up titles that treat Pirates of the Caribbean as a trilogy, then "The End of the World" has come to a perfect end to this excellent trilogy series.
And the expanded world view, and the final ending, Jack once again embarked on a journey to find the Black Pearl, leaving an introduction to the "Fountain of Youth", which opened up the possibility for the fourth part.
This Pirates of the Caribbean series, which has a grand overall plot, is very difficult to operate, and Wu Yuan can give such an excellent result, which is really excellent.
Basically, most of the clues of the previous work have been recovered, and the easter eggs have also been recovered, which is already very rare.
As the finale of the trilogy, the third part is undoubtedly the best one so far, and the first trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean is so complete that critics who watched the premiere were extremely satisfied.
There are really too many movies in the Hollywood trilogy.
can have such an above-standard finish, but it is very rare in various series of Hollywood.
The only thing that makes film critics a little dissatisfied is that because of the limited space, the so-called Pirate Kings of the Seven Seas have a little sense of existence, and the Pirate Kings of the other seas don't even have an introduction, and one person only has one or two lines and it's over.
This made many film critics cry out for pity, and also made them look forward to the sequel to the series "Pirates of the Caribbean" again.
After expanding the world view of King of the Seven Seas, there are really too many new things to shoot in this series of stories, and even opening up several new series at the same time is not a problem.
For example, like those superhero movies, you can make your own personal movie for each Pirate King, and then the whole "big event" will appear together!
Just a Captain Jack is so fascinating.
Just imagine, if you had seven pirate kings with very different personalities and styles get together to do something, wow, that's pretty cool!
By the time the premiere was over, the lights in the screening room had not yet come on, and the applause was about to tear off the roof.
Whether it is a media reporter or a professional film critic, they all cheered loudly, and even whistled out of tune, intuitively expressing their love for this movie.
Compared to the second part, this third part is more satisfying to them.
Maybe it's because the second part is more about foreshadowing and taking on the role of connecting the previous and the next, which makes it inevitably a little boring and obscure.
But now that I've watched the third part, many critics understand that the second part is not easy.
Without the second part as a foreshadowing, there would be no third part of this highlight.
"Well done, Daniel!"
"A very cool movie, the best commercial blockbuster of the year!"
"I love this series to death, let's continue to do the fourth part!"
"What does the Fountain of Youthfulness mean at the end, Daniel, is that what you mean by being uninspired? Let's shoot the fourth part, don't make a fuss! ”
Listening to the excited words of the audience in the back row, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has been a success again.
The next day, entertainment newspapers all over the United States occupied the front page of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
The photo of Wu Yuan and the leading actors of the crew bowing and thanking at the premiere became the cover poster of major entertainment newspapers.
And below the poster, there are different post-viewing short reviews of various movies.
"There's no doubt about it, it's an epic blockbuster!" - Los Angeles Daily News
"The story is grandiose, expanding from Pirates of the Caribbean to Pirates of the World, and all the performances are excellent, whether it is special effects, or the sense of rhythm of the plot, as well as various main lines and branches, they are all first-class in commercial films!" - The Hollywood Times
"The film crew put every penny of the film's budget into the effects, and it was revealed within an hour or so of the climax of the film." - Entertainment Weekly
"The film looks and feels like a real epic!" - The Hollywood Reporter
"It's not as amazing as the first part, and it's not as exciting as the second part, but it's enough to make people's hormones soar for a while, as a super A-level Hollywood blockbuster, whether it is from the setting of the early plot or from the later technology, it can be regarded as the most delicious existence in the "popcorn movie". - "Variety"
"A very cool movie, as the third in the series, to be able to break through the cycle of "three must be bad" is already a success of this work, and Daniel Wu has drawn a successful end to this series. - Movie Star Weekly
Compared with the mixed reviews of film critics when "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was released, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" this time has a good reputation.
At least 80% of the film critics gave good reviews, and the remaining 20% could not be regarded as bad reviews, but only pointed out some deficiencies, regrets, and defects, and finally gave a flawed middle and upper evaluation.
Although, with the increasing development of the Internet, the influence of film critics does not seem to be as high as in the era of print media, but they still represent the vane of movie viewing.
The confident Disney did get the bet right.
The premiere, which took place five days in advance, won enough time for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to be well received.
The film is well-made as a commercial film, imaginative as a magical masterpiece, a visual spectacle, and a feature film with a story that mostly justifies itself.
The only thing that can be criticized is that the love line of this movie is really chaotic, and the chaotic love-hate love and hate of the love triangle between Jack, Elizabeth, and Will is extremely incomprehensible.
This is also Wu Yuan's own helplessness, he actually thinks that there is no need for a bloody love triangle in the story of Pirates of the Caribbean.
But this love line is completely planned by the two screenwriters, and in their opinion, this very American-style vulgar love line is an indispensable part of commercial films.
Disney agrees.
This is the reserved part of Hollywood's commercial films.
Doesn't Black Widow in "The Avengers" also have an inexplicable love line with Hawkeye and Dr. Banner
If you look at the comic book universe of Marvel and DC, the love line is even more chaotic and bloody.
can only say that Lao Mei is really good at this
As a person who doesn't understand the European and American concept of love very well, Wu Yuan can only accept this chaotic love line from Shanruliu.
Fortunately, it seems that most of the film critics and media reporters who attended the premiere did not have too much dissatisfaction and doubts about this love line.
Even they think that's what makes Pirates of the Caribbean so appealing.
Pirates are a group of free-spirited, chaotic guys, and it's normal for the merry Jack to have an affair with his friend's wife.
This also confirms that Disney and the two screenwriters are indeed right
Lao Mei likes to watch this kind of "free" love story.
In this way, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" generally received higher praise than the second part in the film critics' group.
And these praises quickly spread among North American fans, adding to the fire for North American fans who were already looking forward to this movie!
On May 25, 2008, after five days of word-of-mouth fermentation, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was officially screened in 4,362 theaters in North America.
The number of theaters opened in this theater is more than 200 more than the original "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
Although the cinema market in North America is already saturated, it can still add dozens of hundreds of new theaters a year.
Therefore, even if the length of 158 minutes makes "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" greatly limited in the number of screenings, under the publicity of the high reputation of the premiere, North American "Pirates" fans still burst out with amazing enthusiasm for watching the movie!
In the North American box office battle from Friday to Sunday, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" finally swept $142 million in three days, becoming the weekly box office champion and breaking the box office record of $135.6 million in the opening weekend of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
This extra box office of less than 10 million US dollars is the limit of the contribution of the more than 200 theaters that opened the film.
It's a pity that this result still didn't break the latest opening weekend box office record of $148 million set by "Spider-Man 3" in May last year.
But this is a non-war crime.
"Spider-Man 3" is half an hour shorter than "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"!
This means that in the same release time, "Spider-Man 3" can have more film schedules!
With more scheduled screenings, it is reasonable for "Spider-Man 3" to get more box office.
For Disney and the creators of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the box office result of $142 million in the opening weekend is already a result that they are extremely satisfied with.
The Black Pearl set sail again, smashing all the sampans that stood in its way!
Another super commercial blockbuster with the potential to exceed $1 billion at the global box office is about to be released!
Wu Yuan has once again attracted the attention and attention of countless fans and filmmakers around the world.
There are two films in a row that have entered the $1 billion box office club, which is an unattainable achievement!
Among the living commercial film directors, Wu Yuan is also enough to rank among the top five in the world.
Countless top actors in Hollywood are all eager to inquire about Wu Yuan's contact information, wanting to have some friendship with this super director.
Wu Yuan, a cross-river dragon from Huaxia, has become a heavyweight that cannot be ignored in Hollywood and even the world film industry!
At this time, Wu Yuan was worried about the arrival of an uninvited guest.
Looking at the Warner executives in front of him with a flattering face, Wu Yuan sighed again and again.
"I can't figure out why you would want to ask me to do 'Green Lantern'?"
At the end of the month, there are less than 100 monthly tickets and 2,000 votes.
Good brothers, give it a boost
