How to evaluate the movie Spider-Man: Heroic Expedition? What are the highlights of this film?

Two months ago, I experienced the most unforgettable midnight premiere in my life.

In three hours, I went from expectation and excitement to anxiety and disappointment, and then to collapse.

... reunion 4.

The last battle set off tears for all the fans.

Now it seems that it is not so much a movie as a mission: substitution.

It is the end and the starting point, which not only indicates the end of old characters, but also implies the rise of new heroes.

As you can see, the most awesome thing about Marvel comics is that you can see pain, death, separation and loss.

We don't want to admit it, but we have to admit that it is a complete farewell to youth and a perfect ending.

Wait a minute.

Listen to Kevin Gefei, CEO of Marvel Comics Film Company:

Reunion 4 is not the third stage of Marvel's movie universe.

Marvel Comics 1 1 year, the real final chapter of the past 22 movies, is it.

After the curtain call of Iron Man, he will be the central figure of Marvel Comics in the next decade.

One of Iron Man's fingers tore open the dimensional hole in the parallel universe.

What followed was a new crisis.

Elements, a powerful villain group from the unknown universe, transformed into four elements of water, fire, earth and wind, trying to destroy the earth.

Another superhero in the parallel universe, the mysterious guest, tracks the elements all the way across the parallel universe and cooperates with Spider-Man to calm the crisis.

Stop.

I know you are a little impatient: how to save the earth again? Earth people have had enough?

Why parallel universes? This setting has become a panacea for Marvel comics?

Here comes the problem.

I'm used to the boring routine full of spider bites, and I've heard the cliche that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".

In the case that many key storylines have been memorized, and the spirit and image of Spider-Man have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how can we find new ideas in cliches?

Fortunately, Marvel Comics has found a bold and interesting director for this seemingly innovative story. Jon Watts.

The young director didn't follow the crowd to make a mediocre and lengthy history of superhero growth.

Instead, he found another way, directly abandoned all the details about the origin of Spider-Man, quickly chose a youthful incision, and analyzed the mental journey of an ordinary person after becoming a superhero.

In the story, the arrangement of routines and counter-routines, the mutual penetration of truth and representation, the confused dialogue of characters, the outbreak of conflicts and contradictions, and the design of special effects and fights are all creative and sincere, which have made textbook-like demonstrations for commercial popcorn movies and superhero cool movies.

It is worth mentioning that the last two eggs in the film are very wonderful, especially the second egg not only reverses the whole story, but also indicates the story trend of Marvel Universe in the next decade.

Stripping off the coat of a superhero, this is actually a youth film against the old routine of Marvel comics.

When the little spider went through a "whatever it takes" war, when the whole world put the hope of becoming the next Iron Man on him.

All he can think about is how to catch up with the goddess by traveling to European countries.

He is escaping, escaping from growth, escaping from the responsibility of superheroes, escaping from the mission of saving the world, and escaping from Tony's departure.

He is clumsy, naive, troublesome and unreliable.

Until he was forced to grow up.

This Spider-Man: Heroic Expedition is undoubtedly the work closest to Stan Lee's original intention.

As the first young hero in Marvel comics, Spider-Man's confusion is never bitter, and his troubles are so similar to those of most of us in life.

In fact, we all have his problems and difficulties.

Remember, in Reunion 3, the little spider faced the dust.

Before he died, he grabbed Tony and said, I don't want to die.

At that moment, he didn't look like a dead superhero, but showed a great helplessness and fragility.

At that moment, he was just a child 16 years old who didn't graduate from high school.

Spider and Iron Man have long been like father and son.

Spider-Man and Iron Man are actually very similar. For them, they don't want to be superheroes, but the world needs superheroes. Hero is not an ability, but a choice.

To this end, he hesitated, feared and evaded …

1 1 years ago, Marvel Universe began the first stage of Marvel comics with Iron Man.

When Danthony was thrown into the darkness and trapped in the cave, he knocked off the spacesuit with a powerful hammer, knocking off the beginning of all stories.

Now, the third stage of Marvel Universe ends with Spider-Man: Heroic Expedition.

The little spider inherited Tony's glasses, and when making a new suit on the plane, the first generation hero and the new hero finally completed a ceremonial handover.

This time, Marvel comics don't want to do fragmented subversion, but appropriate inheritance and innovation.

This time, there is no Iron Man in the world of spiders.

Even if there are pictures of Iron Man everywhere in the streets and alleys, even if there are pictures of Iron Man hanging on the walls of art classrooms, even if the whole world misses Iron Man, the "iron dad" who once sheltered himself from the wind and rain will never appear again.

Unfortunately, this is not the only one.

Stan Lee once publicly admitted that among all the superheroes he created, Spider-Man was his favorite.

But it's also the first Spider-Man film since 2002 without Stan Lee as a guest.

In 1990s, desperate Marvel Comics sold its own "biological son" Spider-Man to Sony at a low price. After many years, this ace IP has once again returned to the embrace of Marvel Comics.

Going around, whether Spider-Man belongs to Sony or Marvel Comics, as an old hero, he has always been the most popular comic character in Marvel Comics, and there is no one.

After all, why do we like Spider-Man so much?

I remember that year, peter parker was a little boy in Queens, new york …

He wears the mask of Iron Man, hoping to become a superhero like his idol, flying over the eaves and saving the world.

/kloc-at the age of 0/6, he suddenly had super powers and became Spider-Man.

He is not so much a superhero who saves the world as an ordinary high school student who doesn't know the world.

Climbing a tall building will make his legs weak; After attending the melee, he was excited about the hotel camera; When he saw the goddess, he could not speak clearly.

He is childish from the inside out: wearing NB shoes, wearing headphones around his neck, listening to hip-hop, having thick hair, secretly loving the school beauty, attending dances and bragging with classmates.

Let girlfriends make suggestions for the plan of picking up girls, give advice to grandma, and have all kinds of thoughts belonging to adolescence.

After all, he is the superhero image closest to us ordinary people.

While showing his heroic side, he is also revealing his ordinary side to us.

Perhaps the essence of Spider-Man is a civilian epic.

After taking off the mask, Spider-Man is no different from ordinary high school students and ordinary us.

From ignorance to independence, I didn't quite understand what a superhero was from the beginning.

Finally, he faced his inner world and found himself.

Marvel Comics seems to deconstruct a superhero with this "infinitely close to ordinary Spider-Man", telling us:

Know that the ordinary is the hero.

You can also be your own superhero.
