Chapter 867 Strong enemy attack

Three years ago, Captain Jack Sparrow with a unique style and unruly style was born. “Pirates of the Caribbean” broke the decadent trend of pirate movies for nearly half a century, regained its glory, and pushed Johnny Depp’s career to the top. Three years later, the menacing sequel movie finally made its debut, and fans all over the world are looking forward to it.

“Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest” can be regarded as Disney’s first real masterpiece after the change of dynasty. Disney’s strong confidence to reach the top is not only built with the concerted efforts of the original team, but also invited the up-and-coming Lance to write the script. The two sequels have invested a total of 500 million US dollars. Even “Superman Returns” has to dodge the edge .

Among the big duels in this summer’s file, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” is undoubtedly the most promising, because it is the only sequel among the three works, and the strong momentum accumulated by the previous work will definitely contribute to the sequel. -The appeal of Knightley and Orlando Bloom has also been greatly improved compared to three years ago.

In the publicity stage, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” can achieve the same effect with almost half the effort of its competitors, and Disney has no plans to be soft-hearted. The publicity budget of more than 50 million is equal to “Superman Returns”, and even Boarded the halftime commercial of the Super Bowl, and achieved a comprehensive bombing in all directions. Even with the incredible success of the “Fury Road” viral video, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” is still the undisputed number one seed in this summer’s file.

It can be said that this work can not find any reason for failure.

Disney obviously thinks so too. Although the scale of screenings in 4,133 theaters is still not as good as “Shrek 2” and “Spider-Man 2”, it surpasses “Superman Returns” and becomes this summer’s A real box office bomb.

On July 6th, Disney gave up the practice of holding the premiere in Disneyland, and also held a grand premiere ceremony for “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” in the Chinese/Chinese Theater. The global simultaneous premiere ceremony, Disney in London, England, Australia Five sub-venues were opened in Sydney, Wellington, New Zealand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Seoul, South Korea, which were synchronized with Los Angeles, USA, for the grand opening of the film.

Such a large amount of money can not only show the confidence of Disney, but also the popularity of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”. In three years, it has captured the hearts of countless audiences, and at the same time pushed expectations for the sequel to a new level.

Before the opening of the summer file, people had discussed whether this year’s work can once again hand over the box office of 100 million in the opening weekend? Is there any work this year that can break the premiere box office record held by “Spider-Man”?

The first question has already been answered, and “X-Men 3” has reached such heights again; but regarding the second question, it has been mired in fog. At that time, “Poseidon”, “Superman Returns”, “Caribbean” “Pirates 2” is considered to be the most promising seed player to create historical records, among which “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” as a sequel is undoubtedly the most promising, and now “Poseidon” and “Superman Returns” have failed successively—not only failed to break record, and even ushered in a crash-like fiasco one after another. So, what about “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”?

After the world premiere of the all-night carnival came to an end, the first batch of film critics for “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” were released. As a result, the media’s overall score was only 53 points, and the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes was only 54%, more than 200. The scores of the popular media have just passed, and this result… Unexpected but reasonable, after all, the sequel has not been able to reproduce the word-of-mouth frenzy of the previous work. After all, it is difficult to escape the dilemma of plummeting evaluation after all.

Especially when people discovered that the stories of the second and third parts are actually connected. When the second part was resolved, the life and death of Captain Jack Sparrow was uncertain, leaving a huge suspense. Everyone exclaimed cheating.

The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In fact, the media reviews of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” are at least better than that of “The Da Vinci Code”, but the serious decline in the average word-of-mouth is still very obvious. There are endless criticisms, even Lance. Can’t help lying down, a few media think that the script written by Lance is still a bit lengthy and cumbersome. It can be seen that Lance tried to keep the plot compact while expanding the framework, but the effect was not satisfactory.

However, there are also some media who defend Lance. They think there is nothing wrong with Lance’s script creation. The two lines are intertwined and intertwined at the same time. Captain Jack Sparrow’s branch at the end of the world, even if it’s just the captain alone, doesn’t look thin in the slightest. But unfortunately, the director’s deviation in the execution process ruined Lance’s efforts-

When the plot is divided into upper and lower parts, it means that the director has more time to flesh out the plot, but instead of concretizing the details in the script, the director shot a large number of illusory worlds created by computer special effects, trying to create a beautiful and beautiful world. In the end, they all became useless shots; the characters lacked enough polish, and the climax/tide scenes were also a bit sloppy, as if to not take away the duel style of the final finale of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2″ , suppressed the wonderful scenes of the previous small orgasm, avoided the top-heavy ending, but led to the evil result of weak orgasm.

The script is only one of the parts that lie in the gun. The main controversy revolves around the film as a whole. Praise and criticism fly together, but even if it is praise, the intensity is far from being comparable to that of three years ago. 2” Seriously dissatisfied, the first batch of forty-three film critics fired at each other, criticizing this work from top to bottom, inside and out. This has been verified again, the higher the attention, the greater the pressure naturally.

However, not all that Disney faced was bad news. After the theater scores were released, the crew of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” breathed a sigh of relief. Although the “A-” evaluation was not top-notch, it could be clearly felt that the audience was Those who are willing to buy it, moreover, they quite like it. This also means that the audience is willing to pay for tickets for this work with only 53 points in the comprehensive media review.

Compared with the harshness of film critics, the audience generally believes that although this film is a bit lengthy and the ending is unsatisfactory, it has many shortcomings; but it cannot be denied that it is indeed a popcorn blockbuster suitable for summer, with exquisite and magnificent The visual effects, tight and undulating plot setting, charming characters, and hearty climax/climax plot are all commendable, especially for those who love Captain Jack Sparrow. Absolutely worth the fare.

It seems that “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” has achieved the expected results of “Superman Returns”, and the advantages of sequel works have been fully revealed again.

Ultimately, the box office numbers bear it out.
