The promotional slogan for Jackie Chan's new film can be described as a double entendre.
The 2005 fantasy love movie " myth " has a good reputation at the box office and can be called a domestic masterpiece. The later remake of the drama is also a classic in the hearts of many people.
As for "Legend", as a sequel, the meaning of "continuing the myth" is self-evident.
Especially, the director and leading star are Tang Jili and Jackie Chan who collaborated on "Myth".
Looking at the other main actors, Zhang Yixing , Nazha , Dou Xiao , Peng Xiaoran and Li Zhiting , they are all handsome men and beautiful women. The plot of
also continues the past and present life and love entanglements of "The Myth".
has a lineup, a new story, and a "thousands of troops" shot in real scenes. Even, with the help of AI technology, 27-year-old Jackie Chan appeared in the film.
What's more, there are feelings.
Even though I know it is a "fried meal" and I don't even have confidence in the quality of the film, I still want to watch it.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the film crew is full of confidence and launched screenings nationwide.
The first round of word-of-mouth from the audience was released soon after.
Like it, it’s worth rushing!
Among the several highlights of " Legend " listed by netizens, real-life shooting, big scenes, and fight scenes were praised the most. Many scenes in the
film were shot on site in Xinjiang. Among them, Zhaosu was chosen as the "holy land" of the Xiongnu.
And Xinjiang, which finally appeared in the feature film, is really beautiful. Gobi, grassland, desert, snow-capped mountains and other aerial shots are of a level that can be directly selected into " aerial photography of China ".
Even viewers who thought the plot was a "joke" also used the word "scenic blockbuster" to describe the real scenes in the film, saying that they can watch it.
In addition to the beautiful scenes, there are also big scenes.
In order to film the battle scene between the Han army and the Xiongnu in the film, the local government provided 12,000 horses, which is the "truly thousands of horses" in the film's propaganda. When the horses are galloping on the grassland, they are really majestic and the visual effect is very shocking.
The most important thing is that they not only have group dramas, but also "individual horse" dramas. After the horse had its own character and soul, it established an emotional connection with the soldiers, so that many viewers "tiger shed tears".
As for the fighting scenes, it is a characteristic of Jackie Chan movies. If other things are not good, the action scenes can basically be guaranteed to be online.
The action scenes in "Legend" were praised as "very enjoyable".
Needless to say about Jackie Chan’s performance, it is said that Zhang Yixing, Nazha and others did not use stunt doubles. The Han Dynasty general Hua Jun and the Hun princess Mengyun played by the two had many scenes of riding horses and bending bows, especially Hua Jun’s. The reflex stunt is even more amazing.
There are many people who hold the opposite view!
is one word, bad!
four words, the worst of the year!
People who gave it a 10-point rating also said they felt sleepy after watching it. The high score was all because of Jackie Chan.
Although the scenery in Xinjiang is indeed beautiful, when combined with the background time, the excessive saturation is very dramatic, but it has a full sense of variety. Coupled with the too new and too clean service style, it has neither ancient charm nor texture. The most important thing is that it does not match the war background. It is too fake!
What’s even more fake is the AI face-swapping that was previously promoted by the film crew.
Perhaps because the technology is not mature enough, Jackie Chan’s face, which has been rejuvenated by AI technology, looks very unnatural. He smiles mysteriously throughout almost the whole process, including the crying scene in the latter part.
This sense of violation can be imagined.
As a result, being embarrassed became the unanimous feeling of the audience.
ai Apart from the technology, the most criticized thing is the plot.
The plot is old-fashioned, and the splicing is serious. Even the dialogues look like NPCs in the game, and the character relationships are also very confusing. There are obviously very clear traces of "The Myth", but the degree of completion is very different, just like an ancient puppet show of poor quality.
"If myth is worth 10 points, then legend can only score 2 points."
Even the audience who gave the highest score and affirmed the movie's scenes and actors only used three "um" words to describe their views on the plot.
acting, it was accused that all members were offline.
Nazha is not agile enough and cannot support the aura of the heroine. She is only at the passing level with Jackie Chan and Zhang Yixing. And , Li Chen, , Peng Xiaoran, etc. are even worse than the other.
The only thing that can be boasted about is the beauty of the two actresses. At the end of
, Kim Hee-sun appeared as an Easter egg, but she was accused of lacking sincerity and only had to dub one line.
Some viewers also gave comments such as "good-looking but not good-looking", "sometimes good-looking and sometimes ugly", "sitting on pins and needles and laughing" at the same time.
They felt that maybe it was a bit bad at the beginning, but it was okay after that; although there was no plot and the laughs were childish, it could be viewed as a landscape documentary; the ancient war drama was well received, but the drama was mediocre and the love line was awkward, but it was good. So far.
Overall, it is not a classic, but it is still good enough to attract fans at the box office.
However, whether "Legend", which wants to continue to write the "myth", is a summer family movie that makes people feel "comfortable", or a bad movie that is bad enough to dissuade the audience, the first round of word-of-mouth is only for reference and cannot be determined. .
I hope to keep it low, maybe I can get unexpected surprises, it is very possible!
