Chapter 645 'The Incredible Hulk'
"The Incredible Hulk" was released on November 20. On the day of its release, it was quite popular. On November 20, on that day, in addition to "The Incredible Hulk", several other American movies were also released at the same time.
Conduct a screening.
Among them, there is the movie "Batman Returns" invested and filmed by DC Comics, Marvel's mortal enemy. In addition, there are three "American Youth", "Death of the Mistress" and "Maze Runner".
On the occasion of its release, in addition to the huge publicity of "The Incredible Hulk", the promotion of the other four movies was not weak. Moreover, for these movies, many people speculated that the single-day box office of "The Incredible Hulk" might be
To win the championship, as for the movie "Batman Returns", the box office should not be bad, and the remaining three movies should follow closely.
However, when the box office statistics for the first day were released on November 21, many people were a little stunned when they saw the statistics!
"Batman Returns" grossed $23 million at the box office on its first day, ranking first!
"Maze Runner" grossed $19 million at the box office on its first day, ranking second!
"The Vengeance" grossed US$14 million at the box office on its first day, ranking third!
"The Incredible Hulk" grossed US$9.8 million on its first day, ranking fourth!
"American Youth" grossed US$4.3 million at the box office on its first day, ranking fifth!
After the box office of the five newly released movies was calculated, everyone couldn't believe it. The box office of "The Incredible Hulk", which was expected to be quite good at the box office, was only 9.8 million US dollars on the first day. This result,
It simply makes everyone unable to believe it.
Subsequently, the media also reported on this situation.
"Batman Returns, a movie adapted from DC Comics, directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Danny DeVito, has a strong audience base. On the first day
Winning 23 million US dollars is quite reasonable.
"Maze Runner" is a sci-fi action film adapted from the best-selling young adult novel "Maze Runner". It is coming with great momentum. It has been screened in more than 2,000 North American theaters. It is obvious that its momentum continues unabated. It won the first day
The box office of 19 million US dollars once again demonstrates that youth (ya) movies are in full swing in North America and are deeply loved by young audiences.
"The Vengeful" is adapted from the popular American TV series in the 1980s. Best actor Denzel Washington and his old partner Antoine Fuqua reunited after 13 years. Denzel transformed into a private detective to punish rape and eliminate evil, and because of the beautiful girl
The star Chloë Grace Moretz joins the cast and performs a different kind of hero saving the beauty, which is full of attractions. Denzel's stable and good box office appeal should be able to see that the next box office will be again.
A blowout occurs.
"American Youth" is a low-budget humorous film that grossed US$4.3 million at the box office on its first day. The production company and producers behind it were extremely happy.
However, among these movies, "The Incredible Hulk" was a movie with high investment, high production, even high special effects, and excellent publicity, but it did not do well at the box office.
The box office on the first day only reached US$9.8 million, which is obviously not satisfactory."
...
Reports on the five movies showed that on the second day, the box office once again set a new record. "Batman Returns" still took in 20 million U.S. dollars. As for the box office of "The Maze Runner" and "The Vengeful Man," there was also a good rebound, but
.
On the second day of "The Incredible Hulk", the box office has dropped to 6 million US dollars. If Marvel still had illusions before, however, when "The Incredible Hulk" ended its first week with 24 million US dollars,
When it was released, it finally collapsed.
It cost 150 million U.S. dollars, and spent an additional 200 million U.S. dollars on publicity. I thought that through this movie, I could reverse the weakness in the confrontation with DC Comics. However, I never expected that the reality would be so cruel.
If the failure at the box office caused Marvel to vomit blood, then the negative reviews from word of mouth almost made the Marvel boss have a heart attack.
"I don't understand. Restarting the plot and changing the cast seems to be the same as "Batman". However, the box office and reputation of "The Incredible Hulk" were not good to begin with. I admit that in order to comprehensively change the style, you
I want to break new ground, but the realistic shooting of "Batman Returns" successfully subverted the exaggerated style of the "Batman" series, and it looks very good. Damn, what do you call this?
The plot and scene construction are not very new, they are relatively mediocre, and they lack the unique personality of a blockbuster film. Many places are familiar. The most terrible thing is that the whole film is silly from beginning to end. I can't help but want to watch it.
laugh."
"It's really rubbish. This kind of glorification of the Hulk to the point where he has infinite power and physical strength. The bullets fired are like throwing peanuts at him. It has no effect at all. The Hulk is allowed to run rampant. What kind of sonic weapon?
Even armed helicopters can only cause a little trouble for the Hulk. As long as they cheer up, they will immediately turn into a pile of scrap metal. This also makes people think that General Ross is a brainless person who knows the Hulk over and over again.
He is invulnerable, and as soon as he transforms, he can only run away, and he confidently leads a large group of people to fight with him. Do you really not know how to write the word "death"? Or rely on the fact that he is the father of his girlfriend,
Are you sure that others won’t dare to touch you? The invincibility setting of “Hate”, which mutates into a giant through constant injections, is equally useless. It can grab a shoulder-fired missile launched by an infantryman and put it on the body to explode without any problems.
No matter how strong he and the Hulk are, they are both made of flesh and blood. Being so invulnerable seems too fake and boring. The director and screenwriter should really go back and watch "Godzilla" a few more times. In other people's films, Godzilla
Although La was equally destructive, he was not invulnerable. He mainly relied on agile dodging to deal with the human army's guns and artillery. In the end, he was trapped by the steel cables of the Golden Gate Bridge and died under the missile attack of the F18 fighter plane. This was terrible.
The credibility and viewing effect are much stronger. In the end, the Hulk's defeat of "Hate" was even less convincing. "Hate" was superior to the Hulk in terms of strength and agility, and the Hulk was beaten to the point where he could only parry.
The ability to fight back. Why did he suddenly become stronger for no reason? He just took a chain and completely eliminated the hatred. This change in ability strength obviously lacks rationality. It is inexplicable."
............
If the audience's complaints can be understood as a personal image, then, Davis, a special film critic of the New York Times, criticized the film.
"The trailer of "The Incredible Hulk" was quite successful. However, the movie is all silly. Regardless of the design or the content, let's not mention it for the moment. I just want to talk about the details. Take the fight on the school campus.
In terms of drama, when the army is dispatched, the Humvees fly out of the bushes to pursue them. This action, which is similar to a motorcycle leaping into the air, can be used once to highlight the momentum, but if used several times in a row, it will appear very deliberate and silly.
. Recall that General Ross waved his hand and shouted "heavy weapons", and a Humvee with a grenade gun flew out of the bushes again. When he saw that he was unsure, he shouted "sonic weapons" again, and two sonic vehicles flew out again.
I flew out of the bushes, but I still couldn't figure it out. I yelled "Armed Helicopter" again, and the sound of propellers came from the sky. I bet you are a pilot. Your summoning ability is so strong. I'm really worried that another "armed helicopter" will suddenly fly out of the bushes.
Water element" comes.
And the villain, the fighting maniac, was even more stupid. He was not afraid at all when facing the big monster like the Hulk. He challenged the Hulk to a duel before his life, and forced the Hulk to kick him away. It felt like this
There is definitely something wrong with human nerves. The most artificial thing is that every time the Hulk completes his transformation, he has to stand there and roar. This method of stimulating the audience is too rudimentary. I can only understand that this is a reference to "King Kong"
To pay tribute or to seek good fortune, I guess in the director's mind, after King Kong shaved off his hair and applied green paint, he became the Hulk. There is also the scene where the Hulk takes the heroine to the cave in the Forest Park,
The intention to move closer to "King Kong" is even more obvious, because the Hulk's transformation when he is angry is relatively short-lived, and he will return to his human form as soon as the energy is over. How could he still have so many delicate emotions with the heroine in the cave?
Communication, this is definitely a naked imitation of "King Kong".
..."
The film is also stupid in terms of casting and acting. Let’s talk about the stupidest thing first. Whose idea was it to let Tim Roth, a big name in literary films, play the villain of the fighting maniac? It’s not that his acting skills are incompetent, but
His body size is not up to standard. If the camera is only focused on his face, Tim Roth's strong and ferocious expression is quite adequate, but once the camera is focused on his body, it makes people completely speechless. Tim Roth is wearing a military uniform and talking to William.
General Ross, played by Hurt, stood together, and his short stature was immediately revealed. The two of them looked as funny as a giant and a dwarf. Tim Ross took off his clothes, not to mention getting injections. He was covered in pale fat and had no strong muscles at all.
No, how dare you show off this figure? You have to leave your shame to grandma’s house. Didn’t Orlando Bloom find fake breast muscles to wear when filming “Kingdom of Heaven”? Why did the makeup artist of “The Incredible Hulk” forget?
Did you make one for Tim Roth? The second stupidest person is Liv Tyler, the elf princess who left a good impression on everyone in "The Lord of the Rings". Her bucket figure just after giving birth in the film is scary enough.
Well, when creating the character, she actually followed the routine of an infatuated little girl. When she saw the male protagonist, she whispered softly, burst into tears, and couldn't let go. She looked like a college girl, not the way she was portrayed in the film.
Identity setting-a university professor with a PhD title.
Compare Jennifer Connery's strong female acting style in Li's version of "The Incredible Hulk", and you will know how failed Liv Taylor was. Finally, let's talk about Edward Norton, who plays the male protagonist.
It seems unkind for him to act stupidly. Even if he is stupid, most of the "credit" should still go to the director and screenwriter, because they wasted such an acting talent.
.....”
As a special film critic for the New York Times, Davis has always been independent and ruthless in his reviews. His long article titled "Should "The Incredible Hulk" Be Remade? also won the praise of some film critics.
response.
"Haha, this guy Davis has always had such a bad mouth, but I have to say that he is quite right about some things. I felt that the filming was good at the premiere and trailer before, but...
After the movie came out, I felt that it was really terrible."
"It failed miserably at the box office. In my opinion, it should be reasonable. Just imagine, I have never been optimistic about such a remake."
.....
Some film critics who had not appeared before began to comment objectively as Davis spoke out. When the box office statistics of "The Incredible Hulk" were released back to China, there was silence.
This face really hurts!
In the past, people abroad were at least more objective and had some different opinions. However, in China, various film critics praised this movie, but the result was like this.
"This movie has been a hit in North America, but maybe it will do well at the box office in China?"
Some people are still looking for excuses for "The Incredible Hulk", but at this time, everyone at Pinxuan Entertainment has been collectively shocked! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
