This year's "The Avengers 2" box office revenue is less than expected, which can explain some problems. Marvel comics' uncompromising tough attitude towards the whole series of brands has made directors and actors lose some autonomy. This situation has been revealed since iron man 2 and Raytheon, especially in Raytheon 2 and The Avengers 2.
Ant Man is the first victim of aesthetic fatigue, and the next one will not be too far away.
Why is Guardians of the Galaxy better and more interesting? Because the story of "Guardians of the Galaxy" is outside the main line, it doesn't need bedding, it doesn't involve other movies and TV series, and it doesn't have the burden of fame. James gunn just put the original eccentric temperament into it and showed extraordinary charm.
Peyton reed, Xian Yi, old and young, obviously don't have this ability.
The cost of "Ant Man" is not high, and the actors are all second-line old men. However, a low benchmark does not mean that the finished product is not good. Guardians of the Galaxy is also a bunch of second-tier movies, so it's fun. Many people have seen the quality of Monster Hunter's investment of only half. And the poor performance of "Ant Man" can't even reach the standard of monster hunting.
The script of "Ant Man" is crudely made in the comedy circle, and Adam McKay is a famous producer and director in the circle. However, the standards of his works are uneven, and the recent works Tammy and Welcome to My World can be said to be bad to some extent. Another screenwriter, starring paul rudd, has no independent experience in scriptwriting. Even with edgar wright's support, it won't help.
But Ant Man's plot is not only anti-Marvel comics, but also anti-popcorn movies. Moreover, this "opposition" is not good.
Half an hour later, Ant Man's first climax appeared.
I don't know what kind of person made the decision. I think the audience waiting to see Lonely Ant Man vs Heroes will be excited when they see the clips in the trailer after watching the parents' short story with no bright spots like boiled water for half an hour.
Then 20 minutes of long preparation.
You know, there is an unwritten iron law in popcorn movies: if a blockbuster can't catch the audience's eye in five minutes, it is very dangerous.
Ant Man is almost multiplied by 10 this time.
Then there is a 50-minute action play, which is both exciting and exciting. There are many highlights in one go, which is definitely worth the audience's expectation.
However, this scene came too late. The length of the film is almost half naked: the first half has no climax and should be cut to less than half an hour; The second half is an extremely interesting climax. Generally speaking, this is not an ordinary popcorn movie at all. Of course, all CGI action dramas, I believe, have nothing to do with the director's and screenwriter's taking over.
What needs to be affirmed is that CGI becomes bigger and smaller, full of fun, and many designs highlight edgar wright's bad taste heritage. But such a movie can't make the audience sit down honestly in the first half hour by occasional jokes.
Generally speaking, "Ant Man" really has no ambition, no ideas and no energy. It is not enough to be unwilling to be superficial, and in the end it can only be superficial. There is no adventure, no conspiracy, and even a little mystery and suspense in this film: michael douglas's character seems to be afraid that the audience will not understand what this monotonous story is about, and the whole plot is thoroughly understood in advance.
There is no innovation in Ant Man, so it's hard to say how much spirit and soul there are. The result is only a pile of monotonous paper figures with patterns.
Lonely Ant Man's boredom is caused by Marvel comics themselves.
However, Marvel Comics doesn't care whether Ant Man is good or bad. Ant Man is just a cog in the greater ambition of Marvel Comics; Whether it is edgar wright, jon favreau and Jose Wei Deng who quit, or Anthony Russell and Joe Russell (I have their signature posters), they are just a tooth in the gear.
Paul rudd and Chris Pratt are similar but different. As a core member of the rotten gang for a long time, his screen image is still relatively fixed. I began to pay attention to paul rudd from 20 10 "Eat for Idiots". In fact, his sense of joy is quite strong, and some scenes in Ant Man can reflect his comic charm. However, in more time, peyton reed has no ability to capture this charm.
According to the impression of the first half, "Ant Man" can be completely lower by one grade; However, the second half is the most wonderful design in Marvel comic films, which is really hard to give up.
But anyway, it's another Marvel comic book movie. After reading it, it's over Let's wait for the next one. Change to a big movie.
