After "Breaking Point", Nick Cheung's another crime action film "The Rage" is coming. The box office of the film exceeded 50 million on the first day of its release. Unfortunately, the film's reputation is completely different from its box office performance. The film was criticized as soon as it was released. Netizens were crazy about it, and the Douban comment section was all filled with one-star negative reviews, and the reasons for negative reviews from viewers were surprisingly consistent.
Netizens complained: The plot is so bad, even if there are movie stars sitting in, they can't change the fact that it is a "bad movie"! The action scenes seem to be fierce, but they are almost all about cold weapons and extremely exaggerated hand-to-hand combat. There are too many sensational scenes in the film, and the sense of separation between the front and rear plots is too strong, resulting in a poor overall impression. It feels a bit disjointed, and the villain's IQ is off the charts. , the acting skills of the supporting roles are not good, but the Internet level!
1. The plot is confusing and the sense of separation between front and back is strong
The movie "Rage" mainly tells the story of a Hongtai group that spans the black and white, and is suspected of an overseas criminal industry chain. The protagonist Chen An (played by Zhang Jiahui) is responsible for... A story about a younger sister who takes revenge and dives into the abyss alone to avenge violence.
Although the plot seems to be very exciting, it is too childish. You can guess the follow-up plot before watching even half of it. The plot of "The Rage" is also the biggest reason for the audience to complain! Many viewers believe that the narrative structure of the movie "Rage" is too confusing, and the plot progression lacks the necessary logic (there is a deliberate intention to promote the development of the plot), making it difficult for people to understand and accept.
The development of the story appears disorganized, and the relationship between the characters is not clearly explained, making it difficult for the audience to invest in the plot while watching the movie, and the intricate relationships are even more elusive.
2. The quality of the film is insufficient
In addition, the quality of the film "The Furious" has also become one of the focuses of criticism from many viewers. Some viewers believe that the film's visual processing is too biased toward online dramas, and it has lost the big-screen momentum and audio-visual impact that the film should have.
The scene construction and special effects processing were also criticized for being rough and not careful enough, which greatly reduced the overall look and feel and made it impossible for people to immerse themselves in it.
3. Poor performance of the actors
Although this movie has the best actor Nick Cheung and the powerful Ethan Ruan, the supporting roles are disappointing, and the witty characters are really hard to like! The performance of Wang Dalu and other actors has become the target of criticism from many viewers.
Some viewers thought that the acting skills of the supporting characters were inferior and they could not form a good rivalry with Nick Cheung, and some of the characters were also slightly thin and lacked sufficient charm and depth. This makes the overall performance uncoordinated and unsatisfactory.
4. The fighting scene design has a poor look and feel
The editor did not expect that in a crime-themed movie in 2023, the entire film would be "cold weapon" combat, almost all close combat. This can't help but remind the editor of "Sunflower" more than ten years ago, the whole process of hand-to-hand combat is really outrageous!
Forget about hand-to-hand combat, the fighting scenes are still so exaggerated! It is a crucial component for this type of action drama, but the fight design of "The Rage" has not been universally recognized. Some viewers felt that the film's fighting scenes lacked novelty and compactness, and the action design was mediocre and lacked shock. This makes the fight scene that was supposed to be the climax instead become a disappointing part.
Generally speaking, although the movie "The Furious" performed fairly well at the box office, its reputation has overturned. One-star negative reviews in the Douban comment section have flooded in, and the audience's criticism of the film has basically been concentrated. In terms of plot chaos, Internet quality, actor performance and play design, etc. It's also a reminder that even highly anticipated movies can disappoint audiences in some ways. I hope the producers can learn from this negative review and make more improvements and enhancements for future works.
Do you think "The Rage" is good to watch? How did the actors perform in the film? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
