Subjectively, out of respect for Jackie Chan and love for the IP of Ghost Story, I barely passed!
Detective Pu Songling gave some viewers a feeling of extreme anxiety, which destroyed a classic IP and aggravated Jackie Chan's going further and further on the road of bad movies.
Yan Chixia and Ning are two identities of the same person? This in itself is hard to accept. It is really puzzling to designate Yan Chixia as a demon and Nie as a shemale!
On the other hand, Jackie Chan, after the shinjuku incident in 2009, there was no masterpiece except The Great War in England, and most of them were commercial comedies, which lacked characteristics and received rave reviews!
Go back to the film "Detective Pu Songling" itself, and analyze other elements of the film besides ignoring whether the design and structure are complete and reasonable!
(1) Plot: The overall situation is very low, detective? How is it reflected? Just to catch a demon. You can see it when you go. What a ghost. The whole plot is extremely simple, basically focusing on who is more suitable to be a demon, Ning or Nie. In the end, no one could convince anyone, and both of them returned to the door. Background music and the actor's hard roar, trying to earn a few tears from the audience at the end!
(2) Acting: Generally speaking, it's embarrassing. Jackie Chan's eldest brother is Jackie Chan, and everything he plays is very happy and lovable. I feel that Jackie Chan's acting today is just for fun, without any burden. Pan Changjiang is still a sketch, and Qiao Shan has always been a great health care! If these three people are quite satisfactory, Ehan Juan played by Ning, Elaine Zhong played by Nie, and Lin Baohong played by Aauto Quicker Catcher are really too young and superficial in acting.
(3) Special effects: This is the only highlight of the film, and the special effects are very good. In fact, the two plots and acting skills mentioned above sometimes don't seem so important in a family movie like New Year's Eve. Look at the special effects, relax and stimulate, which is more in line with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival!
(4) Tone: Another highlight besides special effects, green mountains and green waters, yellow symbols in red, and four lovely pets. The elements at the tonal level are extremely harmonious and comfortable in the film. The personal feeling at the sensory level is very impactful, and with the cooperation of special effects, at least the 3D fare can be worth it!
There are advantages and disadvantages, which are in line with the characteristics of things, and so are movies. There are good places and bad places. A good movie doesn't hide its flaws, and a bad movie is a pot of rotten soup. I sincerely hope that everyone in the circle will be cautious, dedicated and dedicated to creating every work!
