On June 6, the film "Chasing the Dragon II" directed by Wang Jing, after a series of strong publicity, was finally screened in major domestic theaters.
So far, the release time is less than two days, and the real-time box office has accumulated more than 30 million. It is nearly behind the X-Men series "Black Phoenix" and the monster movie "Godzilla 2" in the ranking of movies released during the same period. .
But just under this box office, what is hidden is the audience's extremely dissatisfied attitude. The performance of
Chasing the Dragon 2 in various publicity activities before the audience is still good, but after actually watching the whole work, it is too unsatisfactory. So a netizen commented on this movie like this. He (she) said: Wang Jing used Chasing the Dragon 2 to prove that Chasing the Dragon was just an accident.
Although this statement is a bit joking, I have to admit that this statement is indeed correct.
The higher the audience’s expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Everyone knows that chasing the dragon is one of the few high-quality movies of Wang Jing in recent years. There is a lot of praise for this movie at the time. In a period of time, Wang Jing's title of king of rotten films was washed away.
So after a few years, Wang Jing once again shot the sequel to the film of the same name "Chasing the Dragon 2". Compared with the previous film, both in terms of publicity and copywriting, he has put in several times the effort. Therefore, while everyone thinks that while Hong Kong films are revived again, this film may be able to surpass the previous "Chasing the Dragon".
is now looking at it, so that friends who had the same idea at the beginning received a blow. After watching the movie, they were completely confused and even suspected that they had gone to the wrong set.
Is this the "Chasing the Dragon 2" we are looking forward to? What would
say about this movie? In fact, when watching this movie, the beginning is still very good, but in the second half of the movie, it is obvious that it is crude and disorderly, which is obviously the top-heavy quality problem.
It can be said that the movie Chasing the Dragon 2 itself is a commercial film, but it contains the scenes of gangsters and police, and the most frequently appearing undercover in Hong Kong movies, combined to create a vain attempt to generalize, but draw a tiger Not a hodgepodge of anti-dogs.
Of course, there are still many people comparing "Chasing the Dragon 2" and "The Tree Gets the Wind", the result is actually obvious, and there is no comparison at all. If you have to say that "Chasing the Dragon 2" is better than "The Tree Is Inviting", it can only be highlighted from the box office results.
In fact, no matter what others say about this movie, in the final analysis, you still have to watch one or two by yourself. I hope you, who love the movie, can really look at the pros and cons of this movie dialectically, instead of listening to what the editor said.
