At the beginning of December, as the last superhero movie of this year, it was also the release of DC’s single seed “Sea King” in 2018. It is worth mentioning that the film was released earlier in mainland China than in North America. In less than a week, it has already had more than 500 million box office outlets. It can be said that DC’s “explosive” movie has turned over
“海王”.
Compared with the previous works of DC, the biggest difference of “Neptune” is that the director changed to Wen Ziren. Wen Ziren was known for his horror-type “Saws of the Chainsaw” and “The Spirit of the Sword” series. Zhang Jing’s “Speed and Passion 7” became the most popular part of the whole series. Compared with the director of DC, the narrative ability of the works. Zach Schneider, who has been ravaged by fans, has no doubt about his ability
Director Wen Ziren.
In Wen Hairen’s personal style, Wen Ziren’s personal style is even stronger. In the early stage of the film, a lot of chasing battle plots, especially in the protagonist from the Sarah Desert to the Italian treasure hunt plot, it is not difficult to see the shadow of “Speed 7”
In terms of atmosphere creation and scene scheduling, it is the housekeeping skill of this “horror film god”. The dark horror scene of the protagonist and the gulf chasing in the deep sea made the audience shudder. In the sea warfare depicting the underwater kingdom Atlantis and the climax part, it is once again magnificent, coupled with excellent post-effects, all kinds of strange underwater characters are extraordinarily exquisite and realistic, so pleasing to the eye. Many fans have become addicted, and even more nicknamed the film “Avatar” under water, and compared it with “Master of the Rings” and “Star Wars” and other classic masterpieces

In addition, the selection of the film is also remarkable. The actor Jason Moma, who starred in “The Sea King”, was previously known as the “Ma King” in the magical epic American drama “Game of Thrones”. The actor’s long hair, charming eyes, dark complexion, developed muscles, and its wild and tensioned appearance conquered the audience, making people think that this is a “sea king”, a king’s style. The female starring Nicole Kidman and Aimee Hilde is the best in the world, and the shadows in the action show are unforgettable. All kinds of factors have made “Sea King” successfully made into a work of DC’s rare box office word-of-mouth harvest in recent years

However, is “Neptune” really a good commercial movie? The answer is undecided. Although the film has brought a visual feast to the fans, the magnificent lens and the big scene, reminding the audience all the time, this is a real-time big-effect visual blockbuster that stimulates the look and feel, but The advantages of the film can not cover an obvious flaw
The storyline is weak and the plot is old-fashioned. The film is a typical story of the prince’s revenge, telling the protagonist of the talents, after the growth and adventure, finally harvesting love and treasure, defeating the brothers, and becoming the king of peace between the two sides. From this point of view, the film is similar to many current movies – exile, return, defeat, experience, revenge, victory, but the details of the plot not only do not pay attention to avoid similarities, but even more imitation. For example, the brothers are disabled, and the battle for the throne is similar to the black panther. The rapid parade in the water and the lifting of the submarine with great force are not reminiscent of Superman
The plot is hard and hurts too much. It also makes the character of “Haiwang” not full enough to shape the depth of the DC superhero in emotion and connotation. The inner world has not been dig deep, but has been brought a few words of peace and love. It is difficult for the audience to think and cause emotional resonance. Compared with another DC superman, “The Sea King” is lacking in shaping the characters and mobilizing the audience’s thoughts and feelings, making it destined to become the kind of popcorn movie that has been forgotten. After all, Hollywood never. There will be no visual wonders
Underwater Kingdom “Atlantis”.
Shortly after the release, “Sea King” caused widespread discussion among fans of fans with its top-notch CG special effects and shortcomings of the plot. It is also difficult to achieve the best of both worlds in any excellent work. All in all, this is a visual blockbuster for 3D glasses in a cinema (IMAX). What is your opinion?
