If the reported $100 million budget is a study in excess, at least a lot of it ended up on the screen. 英文影評 12 / 19 變形金剛 2 英文影評 Transformers(2020) Two years on and it39。s heavyhanded narration also is at times unintentionally amusing, though through her Cameron again offers the scifi crowd a fiercely heroic female lead, albeit one who looks like she39。t quite work out) to respectively menace and defend the juvenile John Connor (Edward Furlong) leader of the human resistance against machines that rule the war devastated world of 2029. Arnold Schwarzenegger is more fortable and assured here than the first time around, reprising a role so perfectly suited to the voice and physique that have established him as a largerthanlife film persona. The story finds Connor living with foster parents, his mother Sarah (Linda Hamilton) having been captured and mitted to an asylum for insisting on the veracity of events depicted in the first film. The machines who rule the future dispatch a new cyb to slay him while the human resistance sends its own reprogrammed Terminator back this one bearing a remarkable resemblance to the evil one that appeared in 1984. The film39。s in some ways more impressive expanding on the original rather than merely remaking it. This time he39。s hard to say which is the summer39。s plight. Claire Danes provides the female muscle power (essentially replacing Linda Hamilton), while injecting a little romance Terminator 3 has a number of impressive action sequences, including one that features two crashing helicopters and another in which the T101 and TX go at it, oneonone. But none is more impressive than the crane chase, where the world39。s version of Robert Patrick39。s in his 50s. And, after several duds (the most recent of which was Collateral Damage), it39。80s (not even Stallone). Schwarzeneg ger has charisma and screen presence.

The movie is not weighted down by plot, but it does have a recognizable storyline featuring legitimate characters and a few nice (but minor) twists. Some degree of attention is helpful Terminator 3 is not an intellectual challenge, but neither is it vacuous. The film has plenty of action sequences, some of which are spectacular. Director Jonathan Mostow has wisely not relied too much on puter graphics for these. A fair amount of stunt work was required, and the puter ponents are incorporated seamlessly. Additionally, Mostow does not play the game of cutting every second or so, and the music never upstages the visuals. Terminator 3 gets the most bang for its buck by letting the camera linger on the spectacle, and allowing tension, not flashiness, to be its hallmark. It39。s Angels: Full Throttle and Bad Boys 2. Instead, it39。s not steeped in characterization and modern day mythology like Hulk. And it39。ll also likely not get the same kind of replay value as the others have. In spite of the offkilter tone, everything else about it is a Rambo sequel through and through, and those going in knowing what to expect will likely wele this sendoff. 英文影評 9 / 19 終結(jié)者 3:Rise of the Machines 英文影評 (2020) Terminator 3 is the summer movie of 2020 that hardcore action fans have been awaiting. It39。s bee into something less pelling and sadly not as entertaining or gripping making for some tedious times between the unique brutality (his windpiperipping routine for instance) and the claymore mine explosion finale. Much like last year39。s action flicks. Still the attempt to bring back a harder and darker sensibility to the series never quite gels. The character has moved beyond the tortured underdog of First Blood, but by losing that hedonistic ic book cartoon violence of the sequels that was so endemic of 8039。s Dexter, Angel) whose genuinely sweet charm overes the stilted and at times contradictory script dialogue and makes you understand why Rambo would help her. Whilst Stallone39。s age, Rambo never brings it up the character seemingly having not changed one iota in the twenty years since we saw him last which is probably a good thing. His onenote brooding is in many ways part of his onscreen immortality, and deconstructing it would only serve to undermine that steadfast resolute attitude that makes him an action hero it39。t shy away from showing off what true civil wars entail the initial village attack clearly illustrating this as limbs are macheted off and one screaming kid is yanked from his mother39。re in trouble and so begins 45 minutes of explosive violence as he and a group of underwritten mercenaries (aka. cannon fodder) kill soldiers left and right, rescue the people, and then kill some more trying to get them to safety. Ultra high body counts are a staple of this series and this Rambo doesn39。s Burma). After an initial dismissal, he39。s ultimately failed fight to reincorporate himself back into a society that treats him little better than a leper. The sequels however were formulaic hogwash, dumping the realism and turning the tortured soul of its hero into a soldier of fortune who, in spite his abhorrence of violence, is able to mow down Viet Cong and Soviet soldiers by the hundreds with ease. On a pure popcorn level though, even today its hard not to enjoy the ridiculous rara patriotism (ironic in the case of Rambo III) and goofy overthetop violence of the pair which are admirable only for the entertainment value, not their craft. 英文影評 8 / 19 Cue Rambo, a film which is hard to fit in the canon. On the one hand its closer to First Blood in its tone and emotion than the previous sequels our heroes struggles seem less cartoonish and are played out with more urgency and weight.
