“Please call him the superhero savior – Martin.”

Recently, an article in”Entertainment Weekly” attracted the attention of many people in the entertainment industry and people who eat melons.

The author of the article is named: Pauline Kael.

This old lady born in June 1919 is an American A very influential film critic.

Moreover, she had not written a film review for a long time. No one could have imagined that after so many years, she would pick up the pen again and praise the American genius. No one thought that

Pauline Kael She was publicized, because no one could publicize her. This old lady has reached the age where she has no desires and needs.

And at that time, Pauline Kael was famous for her sudden bloodshed and stubbornness.

She wrote in the article:

“Why do I say Martin is the superhero savior?”

“Let’s start with a look at the history of superhero movies”

“The protagonist in the world’s first superhero movie is neither Marvel nor DC. This superhero comes from Fawcett comics.”

“In 1941,”Captain Marvel Journey” was released, and the first superhero movie in film history was born. However, this Captain Marvel was not the female superhero who appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and 947 was published by Fawcett Comics. superhero character. However, because Marvel registered the name Captain Marvel first, Fawcett’s Captain Marvel was forced to change his name and became the familiar one now – Shazam.”

“The film industry in 1941 was quite backward, and the surreal scenes that superhero movies wanted to show were basically impossible to achieve. Moreover,”Captain Marvel Journey” was originally targeted at teenagers, so everyone can imagine everything from the pictures to the plot – that is,”Captain Marvel Journey” Teletubbies level”

“After”Captain Marvel Journey”, there were also some film and television works that adapted Superman, Batman, and Captain America, but most of them were crude self-entertainment works and were not even qualified to enter theaters.”

“It was not until 1966 that the first version of”Batman” was released. It was a story about Batman and Robin’s heroic deeds, but it was limited by the backward technology of the film industry. This movie is mediocre in both its service and plot, but it can be considered a contribution to the exploration of the superhero genre.”

“The film industry has been making progress, but it still took more than 30 years to make it look relatively natural for people to fly in the sky. Because green screen technology was born”

“In 1978, a big-budget movie directed by Richard Donner, starring Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando and others, with an investment of up to US$55 million, was released on the theaters. This movie was destined to go down in film history.——《Superman, which ultimately grossed $300 million at the box office”

“The successful box office of”Superman” has also brought superhero movies into the attention of major film companies.”

“From 1978 to 1987, a total of five Superman-related movies were released, causing audiences to experience aesthetic fatigue.”

“It is worth mentioning that during this period, Marvel’s first superhero movie”The God of War” also tested the market. Unfortunately, its too surreal pictures ultimately led to box office failure, and it also caused Marvel to lose in the market. I will not dare to get involved in the film industry again in the next ten years or so.”

“After the audience’s enthusiasm for”Superman” gradually faded, in 1989, another giant in DC history turned out to be——《batman》”

“《A total of four movies were produced in the”Batman” series from 1989 to 1997, and this series took a different path from the”Superman” series: the movie screen was no longer as bright as”Superman”, but showed A certain gothic dark style”

“There is no doubt that Tim Burton, the director of”Batman”, is a genius. His unique dark style not only made the movie a huge success, but even led the trend of superhero movie styles for a long time. , in the nearly two decades since then, superhero movies have more or less shown some dark styles.”

“Unfortunately, in terms of character creation, the protagonist’s super (ajbj) hero is still a positive image of Wei Guangzheng. Although the style of the film tends to be dark, this”darkness” is only reflected in the screen and props. The character The depth remains superficial. Movies of the same type tend to seek breakthroughs in scale (B-level) rather than exploring the heart of the characters.”

“Joe Schumacher’s two Batman movies are representative of this phenomenon, and the audience obviously no longer bought it. The”Batman” series ended with a rather dismal box office”

“Until Martin Meyers, a young genius, emerged. The”Batman Dark Trilogy” he personally created created a new image for Batman and re-injected hope into the”Batman” series. It can be said that he single-handedly saved this series and saved Batman. Of course, Christopher Nolan also contributed a lot”

“Let’s talk about Marvel. Looking at the entire Marvel universe, it can be said that”Iron Man” is the most important movie. Its success saved Marvel from the brink of bankruptcy and gave Marvel huge confidence.”

“However, the several Marvel superhero movies after”Iron Man” are not actually considered successful.”

“《”The Incredible Hulk”, with a production cost of 150 million and a box office of 260 million, not only ranked last among all the movies in the Marvel Universe, but it was also the only one to lose money.”

“《”Thor 1″ and”Captain America”, one has a box office of over 40 million, and the other one is less than 400 million, and the investment in both movies is over 100 million, so their results can only be regarded as so-so.”

“《The box office of”Iron Man 2″ is very good, but this is actually based on the high reputation created by Martin for”Iron Man 1″, coupled with the huge investment that far exceeds”Iron Man 1″, and the reputation score is much worse than the previous film. Less, so it can only be said to be functioning normally.” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“I have to say that several of Marvel’s movies—Martin’s”Iron Man 1″—had a good start, but have actually been going downhill since then.”

“And then, bang, Martin came back with”The Avengers””

“《The market response to”Avengers” was beyond everyone’s expectations, because this kind of multi-character group drama is an area that Martin has never been involved in. Many people thought that this young genius would stumble in this.”

“But genius is genius. Martin’s”Avengers” not only did not fail, but broke the record of all comic-book movies. The North American box office is likely to break the $600 million mark, and globally, this movie is also very popular. , the box office is likely to exceed 1.6 billion US dollars”

“This is no less than a shot in the arm for Marvel Studios. It can be said that Marvel Studios was very smart. After discovering that the situation of its own superhero movies was declining, they immediately found Martin, and the effect was outstanding.”

“Martin Meyers saved DC superheroes for the first time, and saved Marvel superheroes for the second and third times.”

“He is a well-deserved superhero savior!!!”
