Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

The time has come to 2019.

On January 30, "Aquaman" was taken off the screen worldwide.

The final North American box office was 342 million US dollars, and the global box office was 1.287 billion US dollars.

And Zack Snyder's "Justice League" was released in early January.

It is still dark style, Aquaman and Cyborg are exposed, and Wonder Woman stands in the center of the poster because of her extremely high popularity.

For Zack Snyder, he can't afford to lose this "Justice League".

"Superman" failed, "Dawn of Justice" failed, fortunately "Wonder Woman" made a comeback, but that was not made by him.

If "Justice League" fails again, he really can only leave this series.

Martin went to the premiere and watched this two and a half hour long film.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed.

It feels worse than "Dawn of Justice".

Zack Snyder may have attributed the failure of his previous films to the dark style. Although Justice League is still dark, this darkness is only superficial, or in other words, the characters are filmed to be a little too happy.

In the whole process of saving the world, the Flash is the funny one, and he has no problem with chattering and humor; the always serious old man even tells jokes; and the superheroes even start to act cute.

The superheroes in the film don't seem to be too nervous about the crisis of the end of the world. In the intervals between each battle, you can always see the joking interactions between the characters.

For example, in the final battle, Superman said to Batman: "I finally understand that you resurrected me not because you like me."

But the old man showed a shy expression and said: "I don't dislike you."

The whole film seems to have become a theater for the ability of each superhero: Flash's speed, Wonder Woman's power bracelet and whip, Aquaman's trident, Cyborg's hacking skills, Batman's money ability, Superman's omnipotence, etc.

When these superheroes have performed their best talents, the villain Steppenwolf can almost be finished.

"Zack Snyder doesn't seem to be suitable for making multi-protagonist films. It feels like all the characters are just a passing mention, and the chapter narrative is too fast. It gives me a feeling like watching a PPT, turning pages quickly one by one." Sofia covered her mouth and whispered.

Martin also felt this way.

Zack Snyder doesn't have the ability to portray multiple characters in a distinctive way within two hours. Maybe if he had three or four hours, he could express the film better (such as the director's cut in the original timeline), but who would give you such time for a movie in theaters?

With the money of a movie and the length of two or three movies, no movie would allow such a long movie to occupy the theater for a long time, and the production company would not let the director be so willful.

So don't talk about the so-called director's cut.

……

The next day.

Rotten Tomatoes of the movieThe 39% freshness rating on the website was a real blow to Zack Snyder. Although the advance box office was good, he began to worry whether the film's box office would be as weak as Dawn of Justice.

In fact, 39% freshness is really terrible for a movie with a superhero collection.

From the comments below, Wonder Woman and Flash were recognized by the audience, and the worst was that Ben Affleck's fat bat and Cyborg, who was created with one dollar special effects, received a lot of bad reviews.

The bad narrative also made the movie unpopular with the audience.

In fact, professional film critics have a good opinion of Justice League. CinemaScore got B+, and Rotten Tomatoes gave it 85%. This result is okay, but unfortunately film critics cannot represent the audience's reputation, and various bad reviews on the Internet began to flood new media channels.

In the original timeline, Zack Snyder handed over the director's baton due to family reasons. There is still something to say about failure.

But in this timeline, Zack Snyder followed this project from beginning to end.

Let's take a look at the mainstream media's comments on this movie:

"Variety": "This is one of the most visually attractive comic book movies ever. The battle scenes will not make you feel tired and will give you a lot of CG sense, because they (members of the Justice League) are more like "Seven Samurai" organized by supreme beliefs, rather than because of super invincibility. Steppenwolf and his evil horns are the main enemies, but he looks slightly weaker than in the comics. This time he is portrayed as a passionate, majestic giant covered with chevron-shaped glowing patterns. He is also a humiliated assassin who will kowtow for unspeakable things."

"Complete Movie": "Zack Snyder's version of "Justice League" is clumsy, indulgent, and impenetrable. The new cameos and continuous vignettes are of little significance to DC fans. The overall structure of the story is boring and unchanged: it is still to assemble DC heroes to prevent the villain from assembling three mother boxes before destroying the earth. Very few The emotional presentation is more of an excuse to keep everyone spinning around on the chessboard."

CNN: "Simply put, no one loves depicting superhero behavior more than Zack Snyder, and he recreates his knack for transferring the comic book feel to the big screen in "300". The visuals are dazzling and more visceral than the previous theatrical version."

"Empire": "As expected, not everything about this two-and-a-half-hour, seven-chapter film works. For one thing, the discussion about the Mother Boxes is unclear. If you're not a hardcore DC fan, be prepared to be confused by multiple new plot points, especially those that concern Darkseid and his minions. As for Cyborg, Snyder and Cavill still haven't been able to explore his special features other than his brute strength. If you hope to see a suit change explained in the story instead of "it looks cool, this is what 430 fans want 430", then you're in luck. If this is Snyder's last filmDC movies, then this is not a satisfying curtain call. "

Entertainment Weekly: "I keep saying this is a movie, but I guess it's more like a streaming limited series with many chapters. Even compared to the glacial miracle of Netflix, Zack Snyder's Justice League is a chore. At the end of the rainbow, audiences are promised that something really cool will happen next time, but will we expect it next time?"

The Hollywood Journal: "Justice League is an improvement over Dawn of Justice in some specific ways, with a more coherent plot and tone, but it also occasionally feels convoluted. The visuals are substantially improved, although some parts still look fake, and the photography is better overall, although viewers may be put off by the nearly square aspect ratio because it was designed for Imax, not widescreen TV. The soul of the film remains unchanged, and there is almost no one to provide much fun in 172 minutes, which is unbearable like the same single sitting. ”

Vanity Fair: "In many ways, this version of Justice League is still a bit messy and not a perfect work. Thanks to the likable characters and enough entertainment scenes, it is definitely worth the price of the ticket!"
