On the big screen, tit for tat, fierce fighting, and explosive smell spread slowly throughout the theater. Even James Bernard, a senior film critic of "voice of the village", could not help holding his breath and staring, for fear that he might miss any detail.
Hobbes stood firmly in front of Dominic. His eyes seemed calm, but they were full of waves. He stared at Dominic sharply and sharply, leaving no way for him. The strong air field forced all the breathing around him to the depth of his throat. The air was tight to the extreme, and almost burst.
This is the first confrontation between Dominic and Hobbes, but the sparks in the imagination didn't happen, because Dominic fell behind.
Standing in front of Hobbes, Dominic seems to be a little short. From physical height distance to mental and psychological gap, Dominic is completely suppressed. However, his feigned calm strong eyes seem to be in a weak voice, obviously lack of confidence, so that he appears to be boastful and messy, which makes Dominic fall into a passive position.
Brian saw this, quickly walked forward, stood side by side with Dominic, two people join hands, and Hobbes confrontation. Hobbes glanced at Bryan. He faced up to the fight openly and honestly. As a law enforcement officer, he was equal and fair to the former law enforcement officer, but easily killed him. Bryan pursed his mouth subconsciously, but the shaking pupil revealed his inner tension.
The audience's long-awaited "Wang Jian Wang" was finally staged, but it was not the scene in imagination at all. It's not worse or disappointing; To be exact, it's overjoyed, but the surprise is so overwhelming that it's astonishing.
James thinks that he is an "old driver", but before his head reacts, the cry of surprise has already gone out, which... This is simply appalling!
Objectively speaking, James thinks that "speed and passion 5" is very good. The plot is still simple and crude. It completely follows the basic template of commercial movies. The direction of the story can be predicted: Brian finally learns that MIA is pregnant. He and Dominic discuss and decide to wash their hands. But before they retire completely, they plan to make a big profit.
It's not hard to choose the target. They are now being wanted and pursued by Reyes, a big man in Rio de Janeiro who only covers the sky. Now that there has been an endless confrontation, it's better to push the boat with the current, do a big job on the godfather of the gang, and then retire with success.
As a result, all the following plots are clear. Gather the whole team, and all the brilliant characters in the previous four films return; Emphasizing the difficulty of the task, Reyes put his whole underground vault in the police station, and the biological code was protected layer by layer; Teams work together to break down the problems one by one and begin to prepare tools for the final task.
Later, they found that Hobbes was in hot pursuit. It's better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively. They decided to set up a trap to attract Hobbes, and then use absolute force to deter Hobbes, so that Hobbes could settle down for a period of time and win the window to commit crimes. By the time Hobbes came back, they would have gone away.
There is no surprise in the beginning, transition and combination of all this. Routine is all routine.
However, James doesn't mind. The director Justin shows a good sense of business in the rhythm control of the plot, the occasional interleaving of humor and the style matching of the characters. The whole movie viewing is very smooth, and the constant laughter in the theater is the best proof.
But that's it. It may be better to maintain the qualified level of popcorn commercial films, but that's all. Compared with classic commercial works such as "Inception" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", even compared with works such as "Iron Man" and "Spider Man", it's still slightly inferior.
The reason is very simple. There is almost no focus on the ideological change and personality shaping of the protagonist in the film. Even if there is no clear core line for the story's transition, everything will be simple and rough to the extreme.
"Iron Man" thought about the relationship between war and weapons, and then achieved the awakening of personal thought“ Spiderman thinks about the relationship between ability and responsibility, and witnesses the process of boys turning into men. But "speed and passion 5" is just stimulation, stimulation and re stimulation. The whole movie is full of sensory stimulation and pleasure. In the process of watching the movie, the five senses can experience an enjoyment, but after a careful review, there is nothing left.
Such "speed and passion 5" is really difficult to compete with Marvel's ambitious second step plan "Thor".
But at this time, Hobbes is on the stage again!
The movie has been on for more than 70 minutes. It's just Hobbes' fourth appearance, but every appearance is very eye-catching.
It's not only the hard and straightforward style, not only the wise and cunning strategy, but also the incredible fact that one enemy and two can still have the upper hand. What's more, it's the strong atmosphere of putting forth one's hand and foot, which can easily make the characters full up——
James could not help but began to speculate that Hobbes should have been a soldier before, and seemed to be a brain trust who did not obey discipline, but why did he transfer to the FBI and leave the battlefield? Hobbes has a cunning and changeable way of doing things, but he doesn't act rashly and impulsively. According to the script, Hobbes leads a team to the parking lot to surround Dominic and Paul, which seems to be rash and out of touch with lenley's performance. Such small details are actually the inadequacy of the script, while the actor gives the role more vitality, If the screenwriter is willing to spend a little more time, then the overall quality of the film can be improved.
Everyone knows that the power of performance is particularly important, but it ignores the requirements of commercial films for performance. In front of this scene, James saw a clear gap. No, even laymen can see that something is wrong.
Fan's performance was too rigid and too pompous. The whole expression and movement were full of a kind of "forced" inflexibility, but lack of confidence, so that they were completely crushed; Paul's performance is too thin, almost no change in expression, eyes revealed the mood is full enough, but showed a straight line, no level, no strength, no change, wasting the good atmosphere of the play.
The direct result was that van and Paul, together, were still half short in front of lenley.
The Hobbes created by Langley can't see the trace of performance at all. The emotion and style are clear between the gestures and the eyebrows. At the same time, in terms of habitual movements and eye details, they give more connotation to the role, which makes the role of "Luke Hobbes" full and fresh.
Although it's unfair to say that, the fact is that after only four appearances and less than ten minutes in total, the image of Hobbes is even fuller than that of Dominic, Bryan, Mia, etc., who have run through five series of works.
Dominic's bluff was supported by the arms of the whole parking lot. Now it's not two people against one, but hundreds of people against Hobbes. But even so, Hobbes still did not fall apart, and finally had no choice but to retreat, Hobbes still maintained a strong threat and suppression.
When James saw Hobbes pull the trigger the last time, the adrenaline burst for the first time.
Simple drag racing, simple fighting, simple gunfight, for professional film critics like James, the enjoyment is actually very little, because they are too familiar with such routines. Unless it is a technical revolution like "Avatar", or "Inception" that breaks the imagination, their viewing is always so calm.
But at this moment, Hobbes' evil spirit and publicity, bloodthirsty and tough demonstration action, let James see a classic clown character again. After all, the clown in Batman is a villain, while Hobbes is a law enforcement officer representing justice; But the fact is, James began to wonder, curious about the story behind Hobbes, what in the end made such a charming character?
James is obviously not alone.
Eli vallah stood up abruptly, and the screams in the theater came one after another. In just three minutes, it happened at least four times, especially the last time. Even a few abrupt whistles could be heard, followed by a joyful laughter and a breath of exclamation.
What happened? What the hell happened?
It's not the end yet, "Wow!" The cry of surprise rang out again, and Eli looked excitedly at the other companions at the door? Did you start racing in there? "
At this time, there are about 20 or 30 people standing at the door, none of them can get tickets for the premiere. In other words, compared with the film itself, they pay more attention to the reaction after the film screening, which is very important for the opening battle. But now, their curiosity can not help boiling up, that burst after burst of startled voice, weak, but clear, seems to indicate that tonight's premiere ushered in a great success.
Suddenly, there was a sharp scream inside the theater, "ah!" The screams were uneven. It could be heard that not only one person, even more than a dozen people, but also a large number of people screamed at the same time. But just in a moment, after the lightning and flint, the screams disappeared. It was quiet, like death.
Eli looked blankly at the others around him. "What's the matter? What's the matter? " That scream, that quiet, everything is too unusual, what happened in the Chinese theater?
But no one could answer Eli. Everyone stood up and looked blankly and expectantly at the gate of the theater. The same thought came to mind again: why didn't they come in foolishly?
It's a real torment.
