Film Review on the Tomb of the Mummy Sanlong Emperor

Adventure movies have always been the theme of Hollywood, among which raiders of the lost ark and Mummy series are representative works, and the national treasure series is getting stronger and stronger. This time Mummy 3 added elements from ancient China. In addition to filming in Montreal, Wan Li also went to a desert not far from Shanghai and Hebei, where he erected a lifelike imperial tomb. In addition, the star appeal of Jet Li and Yang Ziqiong in China was confirmed to be released after the Olympic Games after many revisions and reviews, which was enough to arouse fans' appetite. I believe that the box office of Mummy 3 in China is definitely expected.

Why are there few fighting scenes in action movies? This time, because of Jet Li's participation, the action drama is much more exciting than the previous two episodes, and both men and women have the opportunity to show their talents. It is said that Mummy 3 has more than 800 special effects shots, and the action scene must be quite exciting. Here, I would like to recommend a horse-drawn carriage and truck chase on the streets of Shanghai to fans. Don't blink, you will be satisfied.

Film review 1:

Most comments on Mummy 3 missed the point, only seeing that people are blind and can't see that they are dumb. Tielu was released on August 28th, 2008 14: 33.

I hereby cherish the memory of mummy touching in those years.

One. I only see blind people, but I can't see my own dumb.

Many people criticized Mummy 3 and other foreign films and TV works for describing China as a form. Suddenly, they all became members of the historical research committee, and formed the habit of resisting foreigners and distorting our China culture. To put it bluntly, unless your national culture has not fallen to the point where no one knows, can a few unintentional misunderstandings really reverse your entire international image? I love the result of respecting China culture, but I end up being accused. People with conscience will care about your culture? Come to your country to film with your actors? We are a little too stingy and too serious, which is precisely the performance of weak culture and unconfidence.

Moreover, an entertainment product is just to make you laugh, and it's over. After a thousand words, it's like watching Teletubbies criticize Teletubbies for being naive. After all, naivety is your own. I think people with this kind of thinking have no sense of humor and imagination, and one hundred platforms are the best for you.

Biologically speaking, people in the world are the same except skin. Sociologically speaking, there are good people and bad people in any region. Any good person has a bad side, and the bad people also have a good side. The bad guys in the movie don't mean that everyone in the same family is bad, and the bad guys in reality are not necessarily as obscene as in the movie. Some people say that they stole the column to show the majestic Qin Shihuang as a villain. Of course, its dynasty played a great role in the history of China, but from the perspective of millions of ordinary people, Qin Shihuang's tyranny was really bad, so don't simply follow Hollywood Facebook to see the reality.

We should ridicule and tolerate criticism, so that you can have a vivid China culture and interesting China people in front of the world. The reason why foreigners misinterpret China culture is not because we often show an impenetrable wall to the outside world, whether it is our film and television works or other art forms. Foreigners don't know the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. The Devil Comes, shot by Jiang Wen, shows the masked devil in the form of deep excavation and complex description, and describes the cruelty and roots of the devil to the maximum extent. The latter point is extremely valuable, but such a true description has been stifled. Dare not face the truth, because the truth is astringent, not sharp in perspective, but terrible in reality, so we dare not restore the truth, because it is bloody, dirty and discordant, killing the truth and burying the culture attached to the truth together.

Therefore, our cultural workers sometimes think of people too simply and often have no connotation. How can this culture not be misunderstood by foreigners? We only see that people are blind, but we can't see that people are dumb.

Self-appreciation and complacency are actually self-deception.

2. Why Mummy 3 doesn't look good.

I don't think the reason why divorced Egyptians came to China was because of the theme. In fact, the idea of this terracotta warrior is very creative. Even after watching the first two movies, I feel how cool it is to use Terracotta Warriors in the next movie, but why am I not happy from the cool expectation? It is actually very simple to rule out the factors of great success and high expectations of the first two films.

First, the script was terrible, and then the creator made a big change, leaving Brandon Fisher, his wife and brother John Hannah still standing their ground. And limited by the plot, the characters are wax figures, including Brandon, and a little blood can't make any effort. The arrogant and cool personality of the first two episodes was suppressed. In fact, the general settings in the film are still very imaginative, but due to the lack of control, the imagination becomes far-fetched, and the scene is there, and the characters appear.

Special effects are really third-rate. After so many years, I haven't even reached the level of the second episode. How can a commercial film that wins the market by special effects signs be worthy of the audience who love this series? The dragon emperor changed the fake chilling in the three dragons, and it doesn't matter if it's fake. I'm afraid this is nothing new.

In the past, the mummy series Pirates of the Caribbean was always compared, because both of them are adventure stories of ghosts and gods, one in the boundless desert and the other in the boundless ocean, and both of them have mummies, and the box office is good, but today the mummies have ended up on a par with Resident Evil. Is to ignore the characterization and all-round details. Pirates of the Caribbean is not even as gorgeous as the mummy series in design, but it has jaw-dropping details that will make you lose your charm after reading it. In addition, the audience relationship between Captain Jack and the blacksmith is worth hundreds of millions, not to mention the Oscar special effects. How about Mummy 3? Only money and a few big scenes show that it is a blockbuster, and the rest should be beams.

The most frustrating thing is to lose the unique sense of humor in the mummy series. It is gratifying that the lovely John Hannah in the first two episodes is still a little funny, but basically the paleness of the characters makes it difficult to justify the plot, let alone squeeze a little funny in the chaotic yellow sand.

There is no beauty, no handsome boy, no rachel weisz, no angular scorpion king, and the flirting between the two protagonists is a bit tragic, not to mention his son, who really looks more and more like his father as he grows older.

It's still attractive to put it in the front. The car chase was good, but then it was scribbled. Although I played from beginning to end, I just strung the sugar-coated haws awkwardly and stiffly. Terracotta warriors and horses are as fragile as dry clay figurines. Thousands of troops came to be cute, and almost got killed by the hero's machine gun. Compared with the shock of such a large army at the end of the second episode, this episode is really a more vivid and backward poor inheritance. Even at the end of each episode, the sky and land of the enemy's lair are gone, replaced by sandstorms.

If the success of the second episode comes from the upgrade of all aspects of the first episode, then the ugliness of the third episode comes from the price drop of all aspects of the whole series.

The director is a big factor. From rob cohen's previous achievements, we can imagine what good goods he has.

Finally, it is rumored that mummies have been found in Peru. Recently, it was reported that rob cohen had always wanted to shoot the mummy series, claiming that the mummy series finally went out of Egypt and went to the world. Watching my favorite drama series go further and further under the guidance of such a director, I can only console myself helplessly. There are only two mummies, and the third one has not been filmed yet.

Film Review II

Snow monster is a bright spot, but it is fleeting.

The high-profile Hollywood blockbuster Mummy 3 was released nationwide at 0: 00 yesterday. Although the film moved the location of the story from Egypt to China in the first two films of the series, its poor dubbing, full of loopholes and little knowledge of China elements disappointed the audience present. Mummies, a unique historical and cultural symbol of ancient Egypt, were unaccustomed as soon as they left Egypt.

The performance was poor.

The box office is good and the audience has zero support.

Yesterday at 0: 00, major cinemas in Beijing, such as Huaxing, New Century, Xindu, Xingmei and Wanda, began to show Mummy 3 starring Jet Li and Yang Ziqiong.

Manager Liu Hui of Huaxing Studios told reporters that they are very optimistic about the box office of Mummy 3. As of press time, the box office of this film has reached 1.8 million, which is the best commercial film since August. "At the zero-point premiere, the attendance rate of Huaxing Studios reached 90%, and the attendance rate reached 80% during the day, especially catching up with half price on Tuesday. Tickets for prime time before 9 o'clock are almost full. " The average attendance rate of New Century Cinema reached 90% yesterday.

Xing Yan, the propaganda director of Wanda Studios, said that the attendance rate of Wanda's premiere was over 60% in the early morning yesterday, and by yesterday's 18, the box office had reached140,000 yuan, with good results. Xinbao reporter Zong Shantang Wei Xue

The audience is not satisfied with word of mouth.

The propaganda before Mummy 3 said that this film's thrilling fighting scenes and realistic computer stunts were more exciting than the previous two mummy movies. But after watching the film yesterday, the audience generally thought that this film was not as good as the previous one.

Mr. Li, the audience, said that the so-called "China element" in the film made people feel unnatural. Jet Li, the "King of Autumn", frequently transforms according to the imagination of westerners. For example, the three-headed monster dragon is obviously not the dragon shape in ancient China mythology, but the three-headed evil dragon was first discovered in western mythology.

In addition, the audience was disappointed with the confrontation between Jet Li and Yang Ziqiong. A Wang Xing audience said that they made a few rough gestures in the play, just to cut corners.

The most unbearable thing for the audience at the premiere was the dubbing with Hong Kong and Taiwan flavor, not to mention the single tone and the artificial imitation of foreigners' high and low voices. Just the Chinese names of recurring characters are a headache. The two spectators next to the reporter kept complaining: "The dubbing is too bad!"

A sober comment on entertainment.

The "China element" is not a panacea for Hollywood.

Although Hollywood has been trying to get along well with China culture in recent years, there is no denying that there are few successful examples like Kung Fu Panda.

Mummy 3 keeps talking about something with "China elements", but it looks like a foreign girl wearing a cheongsam. The "China element" is just a commercial stunt.

Film review 3

After watching Mummy 3, I sat at my desk for a long time.

The low quality of this film is hard to compliment. But on the other hand, it is shocking!

In fact, the mummy decorated by Jet Li represents the despotism of feudal monarchy in China and the imprisonment of people's thoughts for thousands of years.

Huang Qiusheng's role as a modern warlord represents China's rigid thinking and blindly following the trend caused by his superficial explanation of tradition.

Several foreigners in the film and their performance background just represent the public chaos in China today.

From the Terracotta Warriors in the Central Plains to Shangri-La, Tibet, from the bottom up, the devastated people in generate rose up and eventually overthrew the restoration of the mummy, which is intriguing.

In Hollywood, there are many thrillers focusing on the resurrection of mummies. As early as 1932, Carl Flanders, a famous American photographer and director, made a horror film called Mummy. Although these black-and-white images are not exciting today, at that time, this ugly, ragged, slow-moving and stubborn zombie really frightened the American people. There was a guy named Stephen Sommers in the frightened crowd, who later became the director of 1999 version of mummy. The Mummy, which he directed, set off a box office storm after it was released in North America. The global box office reached $230 million. In addition, the film also set off a wave of exploring the pyramids and ancient Egyptian tombs. Although Pharaoh Gunai's mummy still lay quietly for thousands of years, the box office and people's fantasy desire doomed it to become a continuation of the topic again in the light and shadow world of this film, so there was The Mummy Return. Like most sequels in movies, the story of the mummy's return is completely based on its predecessor. The Return of the Mummy is also an exciting sequel, not because of its breakthrough in story innovation, but mainly because it shows in detail many contents that were not fully shown in the previous work. Especially the gods in Egyptian religious culture, including Scarab, Anubis, Baboon Toto, God of Wisdom and Scorpion King, all made a splash in this sequel.

The birth of Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has attracted great attention from fans all over the world. With the addition of Jet Li and other oriental faces, the film naturally aroused my strong expectation. After all, Dr. Jones is old and senile, so it is rare for us to wait and expect another wonderful adventure series. But I didn't place any hope on the trailer from the beginning, but sometimes the trailer can deceive people. Quentin tarantino's Torture Room is an example. So I went to the cinema to witness how disappointed it was, and the result was a complete collapse. All my favorite things are gone. Affectionate wizards, overwhelming beetles, unique and mysterious Egyptian culture, rotting mummies, humorous dialogues and beautiful rachel weisz have all disappeared, replaced by some furry snow apes, dusty army servants in Qin Huang, and China witches who know both kung fu, English and animal languages. Is this still the "Mummy" series? In fact, we should all know that the "mummy" in the series is the protagonist, and the audience came to see "Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" for "mummy". But in Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, everyone only saw a bunch of clay figurines, some monsters with rough designs and common video games, but they didn't even see a mummy. How can this satisfy them? I feel that the director is just paying tribute to the title of the whole movie. Haven't things changed over the years?

Although Hollywood is also good at playing the movie mode of Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, such as Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason. This time is really unreliable. The script of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor has no logic and no plot. What the director has done is to make use of the profound and long-standing background of China culture (the recent forbidden kingdom is similar) to fabricate various mythological scenes and apply them mechanically. When will there be such a thing as a Millennium witch in China? Please, Mr director and screenwriter should know China culture before making up stories! The resurrected "guy" in the film is even more dreamy. He not only knows kung fu, but also can become all kinds of beasts. He is so powerful that the only way to kill him is to stab him in the heart with a special short knife. Why? The director said, that's what the China myth says! ! ! Do you think the audience will believe anything they say because they don't know China? Can't we be spectators? Is this director retarded or short-sighted? Don't you see that there is still a big market in China? In my opinion, foreigners' enthusiasm for China culture at this stage is limited to "Kung Fu". Whether it is martial arts or action movies (even cartoons), as long as there is a fight, foreign audiences will appreciate it. After watching Kung Fu Panda, I thought Americans finally cured their myopia, but it still doesn't look like it now. Although the content of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is fabricated, there are many action scenes deliberately arranged by the director. I think the director also wants to use this "fight" to attract the attention of western audiences. Unfortunately, there were few fighting scenes between Jet Li and Yang Ziqiong, and both sides gave up. Don't say what will be wonderful. In the eyes of a self-proclaimed kung fu fan, I am completely fooling the broad masses of the people.

Oasis in the desert, roaring sandstorm giant face, thousands of scarabs in ancient tombs that can drill people's heads and make people feel crisp, mummies covered with maggots, and fierce little terrans from the forest. . . The special effects in the first two movies absolutely "shocked" the audience at that time. However, with the progress of the times, people's vision and taste are also advancing with the times. Viewers who watch more visual effects are no longer so easily surprised. I thought that the special effects of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor could shock a person, but instead of a breakthrough, it was much worse than similar movies. Perhaps it is not because the technology is not good, but because the design of the special effects big scene lacks novelty. None of the shots can be said to be surprising, whether it is the car chase scene on the beach or the avalanche, the battle between the terracotta warriors and the crops, but it seems that some scenes of "The Magic Palace" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" are also seen. There is a spirit of utilitarianism. At the same time, the film has lost its mystery, and there are no shots that can be used to "scare people" and no bugs that make people sweat. Except for the three dragons, all the other monsters are vague in shape and have no unique appearance. It disappeared after two strokes, as if deliberately not letting the audience see it clearly, and of course it would not leave any impression. In addition, the three dragons look familiar, except that it has three heads, which is the fire-breathing dragon in the king of fire. Moreover, there are few close-ups and many prospects, which seems to deliberately cover up the defects in details. This kind of art, modeling, scenery design and imagination can make us extend our warmest greetings to the directors indignantly.

The director tried hard to make Tomb of the Dragon Emperor into a unique adventure blockbuster, so he injected a strong oriental color into the film, but the result was a tiger instead of a cat. There is nothing wrong with trying to internationalize the mummy series, but it has gone too far, abandoned the consistent artistic style and lost its spirit. The result was a loud slap in the face for the fans of this series. It is also the end of the mummy series. Although movies will attract many people because of their themes and stars, the box office will not be very low. But this long-awaited sequel really makes me depressed. In fact, if the prefix Mummy 3 is removed, this movie will still be a relatively good movie. Of course, does the director just want to do a business of selling dog meat? Perhaps he knows this best.
