A Very Entertaining Film Author: captainpat from Sydney 29 December 2016 As a constant film goer I was really impressed with this film. It was entertaining. The story worked well. The acting was great. And the effects were really impressive. I watched it on a big screen in Bangkok and enjoyed the experience. The sound was equally impressive. I just can't understand why the really negative reviews abound. Some are cursing it for having foreign actors. Others about the political situation etc. And the poor director is even getting a caning. The story is about a legend. And it was wonderful to just sit back and let someone tell a story. I nearly didn't go because of all the bad reviews but I am glad I went and made up my own mind. Go and see it.
一部非常有娛樂性的電影 作者:captainpat from 悉尼 2016-12-29 作為一個(gè)忠實(shí)的電影迷,我對此片印象深刻。很精彩,故事不錯(cuò),演繹也棒。特效讓人真是讓人印象深刻。我在曼谷看的大屏幕,十分享受。音效特別棒。 我不理解為何有負(fù)面評價(jià)存在,有些人抱怨用了外國演員,另一些對政治指手畫腳,甚至可憐的導(dǎo)演也挨了板磚。 坐在影院后排看人講述一段傳奇故事,這感覺,相當(dāng)美好??戳怂械牟钤u,我差點(diǎn)沒去看,但所幸我還是去了,有了自己的判斷。 去看吧。
There are many legends about The Great Wall, this is one of them... Author: Dan Mihai from Craiova 26 December 2016 I just saw it in Romania in a good 3d cinema. The movie tells a legend. And it tells it so beautifully! The cinematography is breathtaking and for all the duration I was more than a movie spectator, I felt part of that legend, a character from that story, present among the troops defending the wall. If a movie succeeds in delivering such an experience, the rest is not important anymore. In this point, I don t care anymore about plot holes or historical inaccuracies, because I came to cinema to see a fantasy, a Chinese legend with monsters and heroes. And there I was, in a war story, set in a different world, filled with amazing elements of the old Chinese culture, surrounded by exceptional warriors, beautiful landscapes and bloodthirsty monsters. I am very saddened to see the negativity among critics and public surrounding this movie. Complaining about historical inaccuracies or being racist about the mix of races is so misplaced. I hope people will go see it and ignore the bad criticism and prejudices about it.
關(guān)于長城的傳奇有很多,這是其中之一... 作者: Dan Mihai from 克拉約馬(羅馬尼亞) 2016-12-26 我是在羅馬尼亞一家不錯(cuò)的3D電影院看的。電影講述的是一段非常美的傳奇故事。電影技術(shù)驚人到讓我感到不再只是一個(gè)觀眾,而是成為故事的一個(gè)角色,參與了這場傳奇,成為軍隊(duì)的一員,一起保衛(wèi)長城。如果電影能做到這點(diǎn),其他的都不再重要了。 基于這一點(diǎn),我不在意情節(jié)漏洞或者史實(shí)誤差,因?yàn)?,我來電影院就是來看一場關(guān)于中國怪獸和英雄的奇幻傳奇的。且在這里,在一個(gè)戰(zhàn)爭故事里,在一個(gè)不同的世界中,充滿令人驚奇的中國文化元素,被優(yōu)秀的戰(zhàn)士、絕美的風(fēng)景、嗜血的怪獸包圍。非常傷心看到批評者和大眾對這部電影表現(xiàn)出的消極,如抱怨歷史誤差,或者種族主義情緒。我希望大家去觀看,且無視那些負(fù)面評價(jià),自己公正的評價(jià)。
[copy]Good Story, lots of action Author: lennybuttz from Green Bay WI, U.S. 30 December 2016 From the description I read of the movie, it sounded kind of strange and I wasn't sure it was something I really wanted to watch. I'm glad I did. It's an old legend or story. Is it real? I don't know, is Santa Claus real? Does it matter if it is true or accurate? Not to me, it is a well written movie with some incredible action. The visuals are stunning to say the least. The costumes are incredible and I am very happy that most of the movie wasn't filmed in the dark which seems to have become the habit of Hollywood these past few years. It is sad to see Matt Damon growing old but he still did a great job, I wonder how long he's going to be able to keep up doing physically demanding roles. If I am totally honest I would have liked the movie with a younger man in the lead role, that would have been a little more believable to me. I totally recommend this movie, it has fantasy, action a tiny bit of romance so your girl can appreciate it, most of all it raises a lot of emotion. There were several times during the movie I was on the edge of my seat holding my breath anticipating the next moment.
好故事,動作戲很多 作者: lennybuttz from 格林灣(美國) 2016-12-30 就我讀到的電影簡介來看,很奇怪,我不太確定這是我想看的東西。所幸我還是看了。是個(gè)古老的傳奇故事。這是真實(shí)的嗎?我不知道,圣誕老人是真實(shí)的嗎?真假又有什么關(guān)系?不止對我,對所有人來說它都是一部編劇很棒的動作大戲。至少畫面是很出色的。服裝精美絕倫,且很高興能看到此片的大部分(情節(jié))都不像近年來的好萊塢大片那樣不知所云。 看到馬特達(dá)蒙日漸老去真讓人傷心,但他做的依然好,我想知道他為了勝任這種動作角色準(zhǔn)備了多久。老實(shí)說,我更喜歡年輕點(diǎn)的演員做主角,這更能說服我。 我完全推薦這部電影,有幻想,有動作,外加一點(diǎn)羅曼蒂克,你的妹子會欣賞它的,最重要的,它提起你的情緒。觀影中有好幾次,我都坐做在椅子邊上屏住呼吸預(yù)料下一幕。
Amazing visual display and acceptable level of clear plot Author: Thomas Tang from Ningbo, China 30 December 2016 The Great Wall is truly a visual feast so would better to watch on 3D or IMAX. Some Chinese spectators have criticised its poor story and plot. However, I don't think it is necessary to design a rather complicated story as it has to tailor towards the audiences on the globe not just for Chinese preference that non-Chinese may be uninterested in ,or that may be difficult for them to understand. So non-Chinese audiences are able to capture at least the big picture of the whole story behind. This is a well trade-off for film makers, balancing the plot to an acceptable level for international audiences. I cant understand why so many Chinese 'audiences'(they did not even watch it before making comments) pretending to be international voters with broken English, are lopsidedly voting 1 and making negative comments here without any constructive and objective ideas.And even more ridiculous,they then go back to Chinese movie - grading website, with a screenshot of their own 1 star derogatory comments, misleadingly saying that foreigners also unlike the great wall as they do. Some even said this is a fake story. Come on haters, it is said at the beginning of the movie that this is based on one of the legend (a fairy tale) of The Great Wall.I don't think its a point to discuss it. Overall, I would award 9/10 the reminder 1/10 would be the length duration. It is exciting but too short. If it could extend to around 2 hours and add certain level of plot that would be awesome. Hope to see more Hollywood-style movies with Chinese historical and cultural elements in the future.
驚奇的視覺效果,可接受的情節(jié)設(shè)置 作者: Thomas Tang from 寧波(中國) 2016-12-30 《長城》真乃一場視覺盛宴,所以最好還是看3D或者IMAX。一些中國觀眾批評其情節(jié)薄弱。然而我認(rèn)為沒必要設(shè)計(jì)更復(fù)雜的情節(jié),因?yàn)楸酒菫槿蛴^眾量身定做的,并非中國觀眾優(yōu)先,要使外國觀眾感興趣,不能讓他們太難理解。這樣外國觀眾才能抓住整部電影背后的概略。這是制作者考慮到國際觀眾可接受水平的一種權(quán)衡。 我不能理解為什么這么多中國“觀眾”(他們在評論前甚至都沒看過)假裝國際投票者,操著他們的破英語打1分,一點(diǎn)建設(shè)性意見和客觀評價(jià)都沒有。更可笑的是,他們將1分差評截屏,發(fā)到中國電影評分網(wǎng)站,誤導(dǎo)國人說外國人跟他們一樣也不喜歡《長城》。 有些人甚至說故事假。得了吧,故事開頭就說明了這是個(gè)關(guān)于長城的美麗傳說。我認(rèn)為這不是討論的點(diǎn)。 總之,我會給電影打9分,就電影長度扣1分。電影很棒,就是太短。如果電影延長到2小時(shí)左右,加點(diǎn)情節(jié),就更好了。 希望未來能看到更多中國歷史和文化元素的好萊塢電影。[/copy]
I enjoy it a lot. Ignore the critics. Author: najibmb from Singapore 31 December 2016 I can't stand these unfair and unreliable reviews. So, this is my first review for a Chinese film. I would say I felt the same feeling of excitement when I watched Lord of the rings (LOTR). I even like The Great Wall more than the hobbit. We've watch hundreds of movies with bad reviews and we knew that as long a film has at least one 10/10 fair review, don't hesitate to watch a movie. Ignore the noise of negative people. Let them get sick with their views. This is great movie that combines history and fiction. Enjoy it! Just like what the actors said.. 'TRUST'!!!
很享受,無視批評者 作者: najibmb from 新加坡 2016-12-31 我不能忍受這些不公平不可靠的評論。 這是我第一次看中國電影。我想說我有跟看《指環(huán)王》時(shí)一樣的感覺,甚至,我較之霍比特更喜歡這部長城。 我們看過上百部差評電影就會知道只要有一個(gè)人打10分,就不要猶豫,去看這部片。無視那些負(fù)面評論者的聲音,讓他們帶著他們的評論見鬼去吧。 這是部偉大的電影,兼有歷史和想象。享受它,就像片中演員說的...“信任”。
Not a masterpiece for sure, yet enjoyable Author: saeerdna 2 January 2017 If you don't have any expectations, this film might surprise you a bit. I really liked the special effects, even if I started laughing when I first saw the antagonists. Most scenes between battles were quite awkward, full of clichés. Yet, once the battle begins, any cliché this film might have is really fun to watch and not at all annoying. What I hated the most was the unfortunate English accent... used during the Song dynasty (960-1279). Overall, the plot is quite linear and simple and is centered around one important moment. Character development was welcoming, but not impressive and definitely not unexpected. The best part was not fulfilling the love sub-plot, even though I half expected this and I would have been really disappointed if it had happened. Anyway, it was an enjoyable film with better 3D effects than I expected and many other films, so give it a try. But be open minded and admire what is to be admired.
不算杰作,但也很享受 作者: saeerdna 2017-01-02 如果你不報(bào)期望,這部電影可能會給你點(diǎn)小驚喜。我真的很喜歡它的特效,即使當(dāng)我看到敵方時(shí)開始大笑。 戰(zhàn)斗間隙的場景十分尷尬,充滿老套。而一旦戰(zhàn)斗開始,陳詞濫調(diào)也變的有趣,不再令人厭煩。 我最不爽的是糟糕的英語口音...用在宋朝 (960-1279)。 總之,情節(jié)十分簡單,就圍繞在某一重要場景。角色的發(fā)展挺受人歡迎,但不算令人印象深刻,也完全不意外。最好的部分沒有讓愛情這一次要情節(jié)豐滿起來,盡管我還是期望,就算真的發(fā)生,我還是會失望吧。 無論如何,這是部比我期待的要好的也比很多其他電影要好的爽片,所以,可以看看。但是要持開放的心態(tài),欣賞值得欣賞的。
A good balance of East and West Author: phd_travel from United States 9 January 2017 First of all this is a movie about fighting monsters - not a fact based historical epic. So don't take it that seriously and you'll have an okay time. The great wall is the center of a fight against some invading dragon dinosaur like creatures. There have been criticisms of having a white hero in the lead role. But it's just a monster movie so take it easy. There should have been more of the 'saving' done by Chinese characters but to be fair they did make the white people look scruffy and the Chinese ones pretty/handsome. Matt Damon does look kind of short and puffy here compared to the Chinese cast. Liked Pedro Pascal the excellent detective Pena from Narcos as Matt's partner in crime. Tian Jing is a feisty enough female commander. So all is fair race wise in this war. Overall there is a good balance between East and West. A Western screenplay by Max Brooks keeps things going quickly without the irritating self sacrifice and slow dialog of the recent Jackie Chan Adrien Brody movie. Director Zhang Yimou is known for extravaganzas and sometimes the action does look circus acrobat like. But it's not too bad - the excessive slow motion deaths and explosions that plague some Chinese movies isn't such a problem here.
東西方的絕好平衡 作者: phd_travel from 美國 2017-01-09 首先這是個(gè)打怪的電影,不是基于事實(shí)的史詩。別那么嚴(yán)肅,放輕松。長城是抵抗一種龍和恐龍混合型生物進(jìn)攻的核心。 有些人批判其中有個(gè)白人英雄做主角。但這只是個(gè)怪獸電影,所以還是平常心吧。為了平衡,他們將白人弄得邋里邋遢,而華人演員都漂亮英俊。對比華人演員,馬特達(dá)蒙看起來矮小且浮腫。達(dá)蒙的搭檔,《毒梟》里飾演杰出偵探Pena的佩德羅·帕斯卡也一樣。景甜是個(gè)精力足夠充沛的女指揮官。這場戰(zhàn)斗智慧地體現(xiàn)了種族公平。 總之東西方有一個(gè)很好的平衡。Max Brooks的西方劇本讓情節(jié)快速推進(jìn),沒有讓人不爽的自我犧牲,也沒有最近成龍和阿德里安·布羅迪電影中的那種慢節(jié)奏對話。張藝謀作為一位大型娛樂表演的導(dǎo)演為人熟知,有時(shí)拍的動作戲看起來像馬戲團(tuán)的雜技。但還不算太壞--一直困擾中國電影的那些爆炸和死亡的慢鏡頭在這里也不算問題。
This movie simply tries to do too many things at once Author: Kevin-42 from somewhere out there 29 December 2016 First of all, this movie does a lot of things right. The costume designs are great, the set designs are very convincing and the CGI is, although not cutting edge, up to modern standards in film-making. The music score could have been better but maybe the composer had a Chinese audience in mind. The acting will not win any Oscars but we see some genuine moments of emotion and bonding and believe it or not but there are one or two scenes with a good suspense arc. Moreover, Jing Tian has a nice smile and looks really fine in uniform. That might be my own idiosyncratic standard but an attractive female lead certainly adds to the 'positives'. With all that praise then, why does it fall short of being a truly great movie? As my summary indicates it is simply overloaded with too many plot devices. It's a hero/East meets West/monster/action/tale of betrayal and redemption/romance/fantasy movie loaded with Chinese symbolism capped by a rather weak, anticlimactic and hurried cookie-cutter ending. The audience never has enough time to get emotionally invested in the characters. The script tries but there simply isn't enough time to do it all and eventually the movie does too little to explore any of the plot elements and characters. Nevertheless, it is not a bad movie and certainly not ambitious enough to deserve any of the vitriol people read into the story without ever watching the movie. I was entertained but not really awestruck.
簡單來說電影想一股腦兒做的事情太多 作者: Kevin-42 from 不知道是哪里 2016-12-29 首先,這部電影很多事情做對了。服裝設(shè)計(jì)很棒,道具設(shè)計(jì)也有說服力,至于畫面,雖不算頂尖,但也達(dá)到了電影制作的現(xiàn)代水平。音樂得分本可以更高的,可能作曲者潛意識里是要面對中國觀眾吧。 表演不會獲奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),但我們也看到了一些純粹感情碰撞的橋段,無論信與不信,有那么一兩個(gè)靈光閃現(xiàn)的時(shí)刻。此外,景甜笑起來很甜,穿起軍裝也很好看??赡苁俏冶容^奇怪的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)吧,但一個(gè)吸引人的女領(lǐng)導(dǎo)當(dāng)然增加了些積極性。 褒揚(yáng)完后,它作為一部真正偉大的電影又有哪些不足呢?正如我表明的,情節(jié)設(shè)置過于臃腫,此片涵括英雄/東西方碰撞/怪獸/動作/背叛故事/以及救贖/羅曼史/幻想,又以薄弱的、虎頭蛇尾的、倉促的、千篇一律的結(jié)尾來致敬中國式的象征主義。觀眾根本沒有足夠時(shí)間將感情投入給角色。劇本做了努力,但還是不夠時(shí)間,最后電影在角色和情節(jié)上的挖掘太少。 然而,電影還不算太壞,對于還沒看過的刻薄觀眾來說不夠有雄心。本片很有娛樂性,但也不足以令人肅然起敬。
[copy]I've never thought it would be THIS good... Author: Darryl Lazakar from Pontianak, West Borneo, Indonesia 14 January 2017 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I'll be honest, I thought that this movie will be very bad. Came out in the month where movies expected to be blessed with negative reviews, it was no surprise that I thought it would be one of those ill-fated movies. In the end, I've underestimated it. 'The Great Wall' follows William (Matt Damon), a mercenary who tries to obtain the 'Black Powder', a deadly explosive, only to get caught in a battle against monsters that awakens every 60 years. For those who doubt that it will be good, mark my words: Don't underestimate this movie. The movie was a surprise all the way to finish. The acting was great, The visuals were amazing, the cinematography was breathtaking, and the action were incredible. Matt Damon as always gives a fine performance as the hero (Heck, even his Mandarin, although only a word, is very good). Andy Lau were also great as Strategist Wang in his first Hollywod movie. The biggest surprise was the female lead played by Jing Tian, she's really good and surprisingly, pretty fluent in English. William Dafoe (I not expect him to be in this movie) is also very great. Lu Han (Yes EXO-L's! It's EXO's Luhan!) is a scene stealer. Although he has a small role, He's very good at acting and truly one of my favorite characters in the movie. My criticism was it's plot. It's basic idea is like Independence Day with Chinese culture mix. Although it actually worked very well, but *SPOILER ALERT!!!* Kill the queen or we all die?', come on writers, you can do better than this. Another one is the length. A 100 minute movie isn't enough for a story with this kind of scale. If only the studio made it like 2 hours, it would be better for more character development and understanding the story. Additionally, I don't understand all the negative reviews, especially from Chinese audiences. I'm a Chinese-Indonesian, and I absolutely love this movie. I saw criticism about the main lead being American. I'm telling you, there are 5 main leads in the movie, and *SPOILER ALERT!!!* 3 of them are Chinese, Plus most of the focus IMO are directed to the Chinese main characters. Another one is that the movie isn't based on the legend of The Great Wall. This is a fantasy movie, so of course it's not! The film even mentioned it in the beginning!!! To me, these negative reviews are purely hate for this movie. I think that most of them haven't seen the movie and simply hate it for no reason. Overall it was a surprisingly good movie, and arguably one of the greater movies in January. If you want to see a fantasy movie, this is a perfect movie for you
從沒想到會這么好 作者: Darryl Lazakar from 印度尼西亞 2017-01-14 *** 這篇評論可能有劇透 *** 老實(shí)說,我以為這部電影會非常糟糕。拜負(fù)面評論所賜,不出意外又是部爛片。 最后,我失算了。 《長城》講述一個(gè)叫威廉(馬特達(dá)蒙)的雇傭兵想竊取被稱為“黑火藥”的致命炸藥,黑火藥只能在對付一種60年蘇醒一次的怪獸的戰(zhàn)斗中獲取。對懷疑這部電影不好看的人,這是我的評論:不要低估這部電影。這部電影從頭到尾都是驚喜。動作很棒,視效令人震驚,激動人心。動作戲讓人覺得不可思議。馬特達(dá)蒙將一個(gè)英雄飾演的很到位(他的普通話也非常好,盡管只有一個(gè)單詞)。劉德華在他第一部好萊塢大片里將王軍師這個(gè)角色演繹的也很好。最大的驚喜是演女頭領(lǐng)的景甜,她的表現(xiàn)出人意料的好,英語非常流利。威廉.達(dá)福(不希望他出現(xiàn)在這部戲里)也非常棒。鹿晗(沒錯(cuò),就是EXO的鹿晗)很搶鏡。盡管他只是個(gè)小角色,但非常擅長演戲,真的是此片我最喜歡的角色之一。我批評的是情節(jié)?;旧暇褪且徊炕煊兄袊幕摹丢?dú)立日》。盡管做的不錯(cuò),但“殺死獸王,否則我們都得死?”(劇透),得了吧編劇,你可以做的更好。另一個(gè)就是電影的長度。這種規(guī)模的電影100分鐘根本不夠。如果做到2小時(shí),對于角色發(fā)展和故事理解可能會更好。 此外,不太理解所有的負(fù)面評論,尤其是來自中國觀眾的。我是個(gè)華裔印尼人,我絕對喜歡這部電影。我看到關(guān)于主演是美國人的批評。那我告訴你,電影里有5個(gè)主角(劇透),其中3個(gè)都是中國人,在我看來,大部分焦點(diǎn)都在中國主演身上。另一個(gè)是批評電影并非建立在真實(shí)長城的傳奇上。這是個(gè)奇幻片,當(dāng)然不是了!電影開頭就提到了。對我來說,這些負(fù)面評論者純粹是恨這部電影。我想他們大部分都還沒看過這部電影,只是毫無理由的恨。[/copy]
A visual feast, excellent sound design and performance Author: kaitang-60542 8 January 2017 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I don't remember the last time I felt a movie was too short. This movie kept me entertained all the way. The chemistry between Matt and Pedro is great. The Chinese actors were good, they weren't supposed to speak perfect English. Their facial s were good and the directing is better than a lot of similar popcorn movies.The sound design rumbled the theater and in a fog fight scene, I felt like I was there with Matt and Pedro in the mist. SJWs complain about race, like they always do. They attack anything from China as the guardian always do, nothing new. They ask for 'character development' because they want to sound smart.Since when did popcorn movies have a deep plot? You don't judge a pop song with classical standards. If you do, it means you don't know what you are talking about and you are trying to pass of as a pro. And why look at rotten tomatoes when the movie is not even out in the west? That proves they just want to troll. Good critics would never asks for historical accuracy in a popcorn fantasy. What they want is 'Shindler's list' in Star wars costumes because they forget their age and Spielberg would never be so confused. This movie was made for a wide audience.Not just a specific group. Comic relief tells you to not take it so seriously. It was meant for pure visual and audio spectacle. As Zhang's Beijing Olympics opening. And Zhang did a great job with a script he didn't write. He and Ang Lee are two rare directors that can transition comfortably between east and west. All in all, I was entertained for almost two hours without boredom. In my theater no one got up to leave. They stayed for the ending soundtrack and credits. Everyone seems like they could use another half an hour of film. I have never seen this before.

好故事,動作戲很多 作者: lennybuttz from 格林灣(美國) 2016-12-30 就我讀到的電影簡介來看,很奇怪,我不太確定這是我想看的東西。所幸我還是看了。是個(gè)古老的傳奇故事。這是真實(shí)的嗎?我不知道,圣誕老人是真實(shí)的嗎?真假又有什么關(guān)系?不止對我,對所有人來說它都是一部編劇很棒的動作大戲。至少畫面是很出色的。服裝精美絕倫,且很高興能看到此片的大部分(情節(jié))都不像近年來的好萊塢大片那樣不知所云。 看到馬特達(dá)蒙日漸老去真讓人傷心,但他做的依然好,我想知道他為了勝任這種動作角色準(zhǔn)備了多久。老實(shí)說,我更喜歡年輕點(diǎn)的演員做主角,這更能說服我。 我完全推薦這部電影,有幻想,有動作,外加一點(diǎn)羅曼蒂克,你的妹子會欣賞它的,最重要的,它提起你的情緒。觀影中有好幾次,我都坐做在椅子邊上屏住呼吸預(yù)料下一幕。
Amazing visual display and acceptable level of clear plot Author: Thomas Tang from Ningbo, China 30 December 2016 The Great Wall is truly a visual feast so would better to watch on 3D or IMAX. Some Chinese spectators have criticised its poor story and plot. However, I don't think it is necessary to design a rather complicated story as it has to tailor towards the audiences on the globe not just for Chinese preference that non-Chinese may be uninterested in ,or that may be difficult for them to understand. So non-Chinese audiences are able to capture at least the big picture of the whole story behind. This is a well trade-off for film makers, balancing the plot to an acceptable level for international audiences. I cant understand why so many Chinese 'audiences'(they did not even watch it before making comments) pretending to be international voters with broken English, are lopsidedly voting 1 and making negative comments here without any constructive and objective ideas.And even more ridiculous,they then go back to Chinese movie - grading website, with a screenshot of their own 1 star derogatory comments, misleadingly saying that foreigners also unlike the great wall as they do. Some even said this is a fake story. Come on haters, it is said at the beginning of the movie that this is based on one of the legend (a fairy tale) of The Great Wall.I don't think its a point to discuss it. Overall, I would award 9/10 the reminder 1/10 would be the length duration. It is exciting but too short. If it could extend to around 2 hours and add certain level of plot that would be awesome. Hope to see more Hollywood-style movies with Chinese historical and cultural elements in the future.
驚奇的視覺效果,可接受的情節(jié)設(shè)置 作者: Thomas Tang from 寧波(中國) 2016-12-30 《長城》真乃一場視覺盛宴,所以最好還是看3D或者IMAX。一些中國觀眾批評其情節(jié)薄弱。然而我認(rèn)為沒必要設(shè)計(jì)更復(fù)雜的情節(jié),因?yàn)楸酒菫槿蛴^眾量身定做的,并非中國觀眾優(yōu)先,要使外國觀眾感興趣,不能讓他們太難理解。這樣外國觀眾才能抓住整部電影背后的概略。這是制作者考慮到國際觀眾可接受水平的一種權(quán)衡。 我不能理解為什么這么多中國“觀眾”(他們在評論前甚至都沒看過)假裝國際投票者,操著他們的破英語打1分,一點(diǎn)建設(shè)性意見和客觀評價(jià)都沒有。更可笑的是,他們將1分差評截屏,發(fā)到中國電影評分網(wǎng)站,誤導(dǎo)國人說外國人跟他們一樣也不喜歡《長城》。 有些人甚至說故事假。得了吧,故事開頭就說明了這是個(gè)關(guān)于長城的美麗傳說。我認(rèn)為這不是討論的點(diǎn)。 總之,我會給電影打9分,就電影長度扣1分。電影很棒,就是太短。如果電影延長到2小時(shí)左右,加點(diǎn)情節(jié),就更好了。 希望未來能看到更多中國歷史和文化元素的好萊塢電影。[/copy]
I enjoy it a lot. Ignore the critics. Author: najibmb from Singapore 31 December 2016 I can't stand these unfair and unreliable reviews. So, this is my first review for a Chinese film. I would say I felt the same feeling of excitement when I watched Lord of the rings (LOTR). I even like The Great Wall more than the hobbit. We've watch hundreds of movies with bad reviews and we knew that as long a film has at least one 10/10 fair review, don't hesitate to watch a movie. Ignore the noise of negative people. Let them get sick with their views. This is great movie that combines history and fiction. Enjoy it! Just like what the actors said.. 'TRUST'!!!
很享受,無視批評者 作者: najibmb from 新加坡 2016-12-31 我不能忍受這些不公平不可靠的評論。 這是我第一次看中國電影。我想說我有跟看《指環(huán)王》時(shí)一樣的感覺,甚至,我較之霍比特更喜歡這部長城。 我們看過上百部差評電影就會知道只要有一個(gè)人打10分,就不要猶豫,去看這部片。無視那些負(fù)面評論者的聲音,讓他們帶著他們的評論見鬼去吧。 這是部偉大的電影,兼有歷史和想象。享受它,就像片中演員說的...“信任”。
Not a masterpiece for sure, yet enjoyable Author: saeerdna 2 January 2017 If you don't have any expectations, this film might surprise you a bit. I really liked the special effects, even if I started laughing when I first saw the antagonists. Most scenes between battles were quite awkward, full of clichés. Yet, once the battle begins, any cliché this film might have is really fun to watch and not at all annoying. What I hated the most was the unfortunate English accent... used during the Song dynasty (960-1279). Overall, the plot is quite linear and simple and is centered around one important moment. Character development was welcoming, but not impressive and definitely not unexpected. The best part was not fulfilling the love sub-plot, even though I half expected this and I would have been really disappointed if it had happened. Anyway, it was an enjoyable film with better 3D effects than I expected and many other films, so give it a try. But be open minded and admire what is to be admired.
不算杰作,但也很享受 作者: saeerdna 2017-01-02 如果你不報(bào)期望,這部電影可能會給你點(diǎn)小驚喜。我真的很喜歡它的特效,即使當(dāng)我看到敵方時(shí)開始大笑。 戰(zhàn)斗間隙的場景十分尷尬,充滿老套。而一旦戰(zhàn)斗開始,陳詞濫調(diào)也變的有趣,不再令人厭煩。 我最不爽的是糟糕的英語口音...用在宋朝 (960-1279)。 總之,情節(jié)十分簡單,就圍繞在某一重要場景。角色的發(fā)展挺受人歡迎,但不算令人印象深刻,也完全不意外。最好的部分沒有讓愛情這一次要情節(jié)豐滿起來,盡管我還是期望,就算真的發(fā)生,我還是會失望吧。 無論如何,這是部比我期待的要好的也比很多其他電影要好的爽片,所以,可以看看。但是要持開放的心態(tài),欣賞值得欣賞的。
A good balance of East and West Author: phd_travel from United States 9 January 2017 First of all this is a movie about fighting monsters - not a fact based historical epic. So don't take it that seriously and you'll have an okay time. The great wall is the center of a fight against some invading dragon dinosaur like creatures. There have been criticisms of having a white hero in the lead role. But it's just a monster movie so take it easy. There should have been more of the 'saving' done by Chinese characters but to be fair they did make the white people look scruffy and the Chinese ones pretty/handsome. Matt Damon does look kind of short and puffy here compared to the Chinese cast. Liked Pedro Pascal the excellent detective Pena from Narcos as Matt's partner in crime. Tian Jing is a feisty enough female commander. So all is fair race wise in this war. Overall there is a good balance between East and West. A Western screenplay by Max Brooks keeps things going quickly without the irritating self sacrifice and slow dialog of the recent Jackie Chan Adrien Brody movie. Director Zhang Yimou is known for extravaganzas and sometimes the action does look circus acrobat like. But it's not too bad - the excessive slow motion deaths and explosions that plague some Chinese movies isn't such a problem here.
東西方的絕好平衡 作者: phd_travel from 美國 2017-01-09 首先這是個(gè)打怪的電影,不是基于事實(shí)的史詩。別那么嚴(yán)肅,放輕松。長城是抵抗一種龍和恐龍混合型生物進(jìn)攻的核心。 有些人批判其中有個(gè)白人英雄做主角。但這只是個(gè)怪獸電影,所以還是平常心吧。為了平衡,他們將白人弄得邋里邋遢,而華人演員都漂亮英俊。對比華人演員,馬特達(dá)蒙看起來矮小且浮腫。達(dá)蒙的搭檔,《毒梟》里飾演杰出偵探Pena的佩德羅·帕斯卡也一樣。景甜是個(gè)精力足夠充沛的女指揮官。這場戰(zhàn)斗智慧地體現(xiàn)了種族公平。 總之東西方有一個(gè)很好的平衡。Max Brooks的西方劇本讓情節(jié)快速推進(jìn),沒有讓人不爽的自我犧牲,也沒有最近成龍和阿德里安·布羅迪電影中的那種慢節(jié)奏對話。張藝謀作為一位大型娛樂表演的導(dǎo)演為人熟知,有時(shí)拍的動作戲看起來像馬戲團(tuán)的雜技。但還不算太壞--一直困擾中國電影的那些爆炸和死亡的慢鏡頭在這里也不算問題。
This movie simply tries to do too many things at once Author: Kevin-42 from somewhere out there 29 December 2016 First of all, this movie does a lot of things right. The costume designs are great, the set designs are very convincing and the CGI is, although not cutting edge, up to modern standards in film-making. The music score could have been better but maybe the composer had a Chinese audience in mind. The acting will not win any Oscars but we see some genuine moments of emotion and bonding and believe it or not but there are one or two scenes with a good suspense arc. Moreover, Jing Tian has a nice smile and looks really fine in uniform. That might be my own idiosyncratic standard but an attractive female lead certainly adds to the 'positives'. With all that praise then, why does it fall short of being a truly great movie? As my summary indicates it is simply overloaded with too many plot devices. It's a hero/East meets West/monster/action/tale of betrayal and redemption/romance/fantasy movie loaded with Chinese symbolism capped by a rather weak, anticlimactic and hurried cookie-cutter ending. The audience never has enough time to get emotionally invested in the characters. The script tries but there simply isn't enough time to do it all and eventually the movie does too little to explore any of the plot elements and characters. Nevertheless, it is not a bad movie and certainly not ambitious enough to deserve any of the vitriol people read into the story without ever watching the movie. I was entertained but not really awestruck.
簡單來說電影想一股腦兒做的事情太多 作者: Kevin-42 from 不知道是哪里 2016-12-29 首先,這部電影很多事情做對了。服裝設(shè)計(jì)很棒,道具設(shè)計(jì)也有說服力,至于畫面,雖不算頂尖,但也達(dá)到了電影制作的現(xiàn)代水平。音樂得分本可以更高的,可能作曲者潛意識里是要面對中國觀眾吧。 表演不會獲奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),但我們也看到了一些純粹感情碰撞的橋段,無論信與不信,有那么一兩個(gè)靈光閃現(xiàn)的時(shí)刻。此外,景甜笑起來很甜,穿起軍裝也很好看??赡苁俏冶容^奇怪的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)吧,但一個(gè)吸引人的女領(lǐng)導(dǎo)當(dāng)然增加了些積極性。 褒揚(yáng)完后,它作為一部真正偉大的電影又有哪些不足呢?正如我表明的,情節(jié)設(shè)置過于臃腫,此片涵括英雄/東西方碰撞/怪獸/動作/背叛故事/以及救贖/羅曼史/幻想,又以薄弱的、虎頭蛇尾的、倉促的、千篇一律的結(jié)尾來致敬中國式的象征主義。觀眾根本沒有足夠時(shí)間將感情投入給角色。劇本做了努力,但還是不夠時(shí)間,最后電影在角色和情節(jié)上的挖掘太少。 然而,電影還不算太壞,對于還沒看過的刻薄觀眾來說不夠有雄心。本片很有娛樂性,但也不足以令人肅然起敬。
[copy]I've never thought it would be THIS good... Author: Darryl Lazakar from Pontianak, West Borneo, Indonesia 14 January 2017 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I'll be honest, I thought that this movie will be very bad. Came out in the month where movies expected to be blessed with negative reviews, it was no surprise that I thought it would be one of those ill-fated movies. In the end, I've underestimated it. 'The Great Wall' follows William (Matt Damon), a mercenary who tries to obtain the 'Black Powder', a deadly explosive, only to get caught in a battle against monsters that awakens every 60 years. For those who doubt that it will be good, mark my words: Don't underestimate this movie. The movie was a surprise all the way to finish. The acting was great, The visuals were amazing, the cinematography was breathtaking, and the action were incredible. Matt Damon as always gives a fine performance as the hero (Heck, even his Mandarin, although only a word, is very good). Andy Lau were also great as Strategist Wang in his first Hollywod movie. The biggest surprise was the female lead played by Jing Tian, she's really good and surprisingly, pretty fluent in English. William Dafoe (I not expect him to be in this movie) is also very great. Lu Han (Yes EXO-L's! It's EXO's Luhan!) is a scene stealer. Although he has a small role, He's very good at acting and truly one of my favorite characters in the movie. My criticism was it's plot. It's basic idea is like Independence Day with Chinese culture mix. Although it actually worked very well, but *SPOILER ALERT!!!* Kill the queen or we all die?', come on writers, you can do better than this. Another one is the length. A 100 minute movie isn't enough for a story with this kind of scale. If only the studio made it like 2 hours, it would be better for more character development and understanding the story. Additionally, I don't understand all the negative reviews, especially from Chinese audiences. I'm a Chinese-Indonesian, and I absolutely love this movie. I saw criticism about the main lead being American. I'm telling you, there are 5 main leads in the movie, and *SPOILER ALERT!!!* 3 of them are Chinese, Plus most of the focus IMO are directed to the Chinese main characters. Another one is that the movie isn't based on the legend of The Great Wall. This is a fantasy movie, so of course it's not! The film even mentioned it in the beginning!!! To me, these negative reviews are purely hate for this movie. I think that most of them haven't seen the movie and simply hate it for no reason. Overall it was a surprisingly good movie, and arguably one of the greater movies in January. If you want to see a fantasy movie, this is a perfect movie for you
從沒想到會這么好 作者: Darryl Lazakar from 印度尼西亞 2017-01-14 *** 這篇評論可能有劇透 *** 老實(shí)說,我以為這部電影會非常糟糕。拜負(fù)面評論所賜,不出意外又是部爛片。 最后,我失算了。 《長城》講述一個(gè)叫威廉(馬特達(dá)蒙)的雇傭兵想竊取被稱為“黑火藥”的致命炸藥,黑火藥只能在對付一種60年蘇醒一次的怪獸的戰(zhàn)斗中獲取。對懷疑這部電影不好看的人,這是我的評論:不要低估這部電影。這部電影從頭到尾都是驚喜。動作很棒,視效令人震驚,激動人心。動作戲讓人覺得不可思議。馬特達(dá)蒙將一個(gè)英雄飾演的很到位(他的普通話也非常好,盡管只有一個(gè)單詞)。劉德華在他第一部好萊塢大片里將王軍師這個(gè)角色演繹的也很好。最大的驚喜是演女頭領(lǐng)的景甜,她的表現(xiàn)出人意料的好,英語非常流利。威廉.達(dá)福(不希望他出現(xiàn)在這部戲里)也非常棒。鹿晗(沒錯(cuò),就是EXO的鹿晗)很搶鏡。盡管他只是個(gè)小角色,但非常擅長演戲,真的是此片我最喜歡的角色之一。我批評的是情節(jié)。基本上就是一部混有中國文化的《獨(dú)立日》。盡管做的不錯(cuò),但“殺死獸王,否則我們都得死?”(劇透),得了吧編劇,你可以做的更好。另一個(gè)就是電影的長度。這種規(guī)模的電影100分鐘根本不夠。如果做到2小時(shí),對于角色發(fā)展和故事理解可能會更好。 此外,不太理解所有的負(fù)面評論,尤其是來自中國觀眾的。我是個(gè)華裔印尼人,我絕對喜歡這部電影。我看到關(guān)于主演是美國人的批評。那我告訴你,電影里有5個(gè)主角(劇透),其中3個(gè)都是中國人,在我看來,大部分焦點(diǎn)都在中國主演身上。另一個(gè)是批評電影并非建立在真實(shí)長城的傳奇上。這是個(gè)奇幻片,當(dāng)然不是了!電影開頭就提到了。對我來說,這些負(fù)面評論者純粹是恨這部電影。我想他們大部分都還沒看過這部電影,只是毫無理由的恨。[/copy]
A visual feast, excellent sound design and performance Author: kaitang-60542 8 January 2017 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I don't remember the last time I felt a movie was too short. This movie kept me entertained all the way. The chemistry between Matt and Pedro is great. The Chinese actors were good, they weren't supposed to speak perfect English. Their facial s were good and the directing is better than a lot of similar popcorn movies.The sound design rumbled the theater and in a fog fight scene, I felt like I was there with Matt and Pedro in the mist. SJWs complain about race, like they always do. They attack anything from China as the guardian always do, nothing new. They ask for 'character development' because they want to sound smart.Since when did popcorn movies have a deep plot? You don't judge a pop song with classical standards. If you do, it means you don't know what you are talking about and you are trying to pass of as a pro. And why look at rotten tomatoes when the movie is not even out in the west? That proves they just want to troll. Good critics would never asks for historical accuracy in a popcorn fantasy. What they want is 'Shindler's list' in Star wars costumes because they forget their age and Spielberg would never be so confused. This movie was made for a wide audience.Not just a specific group. Comic relief tells you to not take it so seriously. It was meant for pure visual and audio spectacle. As Zhang's Beijing Olympics opening. And Zhang did a great job with a script he didn't write. He and Ang Lee are two rare directors that can transition comfortably between east and west. All in all, I was entertained for almost two hours without boredom. In my theater no one got up to leave. They stayed for the ending soundtrack and credits. Everyone seems like they could use another half an hour of film. I have never seen this before.
一場視覺盛宴,優(yōu)秀的聲樂和表演 作者: kaitang-60542 2017-01-08 *** 這篇評論可能有劇透 *** 我已經(jīng)不記得最后一部讓我覺得短暫的電影了。這部電影讓我一整天都熱情高漲。馬特和佩德羅關(guān)系的變化很棒。中國演員都很好,他們不必說完美的英語。他們的面部表情很到位,演繹的比很多同類爆米花電影都要好。影院音響轟鳴聲和煙霧籠罩的場景讓我感覺自己就和馬特、佩德羅在那兒一樣。SJWs像他們往常一樣抱怨人種問題。他們像往常一樣攻擊所有關(guān)于中國的東西,一點(diǎn)不新鮮。他們要求“角色刻畫”,因?yàn)樗麄兿胱屪约郝犉饋砼1?。什么時(shí)候爆米花電影有過很深刻的情節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)了?你不會按古典音樂的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來要求一首流行歌曲吧。如果你是這樣,意味著你根本不知道自己在說什么,你不專業(yè)。電影還沒在西方上映你為什么要看爛番茄?只能證明你們是網(wǎng)痞。好的批評者從來不會給爆米花奇幻電影找歷史紕漏。因?yàn)樗麄兺俗约旱哪昙o(jì),想要的是《星球大戰(zhàn)》戲服里的《辛德勒名單》,斯皮爾伯格從來不會這么困惑。這部電影是為更廣大的觀眾制作的,而非針對某一特殊群體。喜劇的穿插告訴你別這么嚴(yán)肅。它就是純粹的視覺效果和音響奇觀。就像北京奧運(yùn)會一樣,張藝謀將這個(gè)不是他寫的劇本做的很好。他和李安都是能將東方西方老練轉(zhuǎn)換的優(yōu)秀導(dǎo)演??偠傊?,我在這將近2小時(shí)里很享受,沒有一點(diǎn)厭煩。在我的影廳里,片尾字幕出現(xiàn)之前都沒有一個(gè)人離座。每個(gè)人看起來都可以再看半小時(shí)電影。這個(gè)我以前從沒見過。
