Uphononongo: Umndilili we-X-Men: I-Apocalypse Idlala iiHits, Underwhelms

Ngandlela thile, ngoMeyi, kwaye ndizibonile zontathu iitente ze-superhero zalo nyaka. Ngokuqinisekileyo sisenayo IQela lokuzibulala ngo-Agasti (iklasikhi engafundiswanga yeklasikhi kwi-anchor ehlotyeni) nango-Novemba Ugqirha Strange , kodwa ii-blockbusters ezinkulu zeza ngendlela eyothusayo ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Ngoku ndibonile X-Men: Apocalypse , Ndiyakwazi ukusonga intloko yam kulo mkhuba walo nyaka wemfazwe phakathi kwamaqhawe. X-Men: Apocalypse ilungile ecaleni Batman v Superman kwaye Udabi lasekuhlaleni : uzixakekile kodwa uyasebenza.

I-X-Men franchise yinto enomdla yaseHollywood. Iimuvi zibonakala ngathi zihlala ngaphandle kwengxoxo enkulu yeDC / WB vs Marvel (ngaphandle kokuba Marvel eFox). It kunye Indoda yesigcawu ngokusesikweni iphehlelele umkhwa bhanyabhanya obalaseleyo, kodwa ngelixa iSigcawu-Man silungiselela ukuqala ngokutsha inguqulelo yesithathu, i-X-Men ibijikeleza indalo enye ngaphezulu kweminyaka eli-15. Nkqu Iklasi yokuqala , ebibonakala ngathi kukuphinda uqalise ukusebenza, yajika yaba yinto yokuqala, ene Iintsuku zeXesha elidlulileyo Zombini i-prequel kunye nokulandelelana kwetrilogy yangaphambili. Oko kuyimpumelelo enomtsalane kwifranchise yefilimu, ngakumbi xa ujonga indlela i-franchise efumene ngayo kwiimpazamo zesithathu, Ukuma mgqibeli , kodwa oko kukwathetha ukuba ukuqhubeka kubalulekile. Kwaye njengokuba umhlobo wam esitsho kanye emva kokubukela, umntu othile wayilahla ibhola ngale bhanyabhanya-andithethi ukuqhubeka ngaphakathi kwee-comics, kodwa njengefilimu ngaphakathi kwale franchise ethile. Umboniso bhanyabhanya ngumdibaniso wokuphikisana, obonakala (njengonyaka ophelileyo Spectrum ) unomdla ngakumbi kwinkonzo yabalandeli kunokuba uxelele isahluko esilandelayo kwifilimu ye-X-Men njengefilimu eyomeleleyo.

Ndaya kumdlalo bhanyabhanya ndisazi okuncinci malunga nomlinganiswa weApocalypse. Ndiyazi ukuba mdala, wasweleka kanye, kwaye u-Oscar Isaac wayezakumdlala (ngokunyanisekileyo, loo nto yokugqibela yayiyindawo enkulu yokuthengisa kum), kwaye kuninzi ukuthanda ngo-Isaac, ngubani umdlali we-actor ongenangxaki enkulu . Ngokwamazwi nangokomfuziselo, yile nto ayenzayo apha, esondela kumanqanaba omdlalo weqonga kaNicholas Cage (hayi ncam, kodwa kufutshane), kodwa mhlawumbi ehamba kancinci kancinci kunokhenketho lwakhe lokunyanzelwa kokungaqhelekanga okwaziwa njenge Iphantshi efunxwayo . Ngokusisiseko, u-Isaac ubonakala ngathi uyakonwabela ukuba yinyama enkulu, kwaye ndiyakonwabela ukumbukela abe ngumdlali weqonga omkhulu.

Ndiyakonwabela nokubukela elaa cala likaJames McAvoy, kwaye ngelixa engekude kufutshane UVictor frankenstein okanye IMacBeth Amanqanaba edrama ephezulu, ufumana amaxesha ambalwa ukubonisa amandla akhe okongeza uhlobo lwakhe lokuchuma okanye ezimbini. Ndikwacinga ukuba ubumnyama obumnyama bukaMichael Fassbender (ukuba uMagneto ojonga imigxobhozo ujongeka esasebenza), unika umahluko omnandi kumdlalo weqonga kaMcAvoy kwezi bhanyabhanya. Konke kusebenza kakuhle ngaphakathi kwendlela ye-X-Men ye-epic yokubalisa amabali, ume ngaphandle ngokuya umkhulu ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Ukuqala kwe-movie kuvakala ngathi kukudala kuyindumasi yaseHollywood (kwaye kujongeka njengokuhle kakhulu kunokuba IEksodus okanye Oothixo baseYiputa ) Kwaye ufuna ukuseta ithoni yemovie enkulu, eyindumasi yehlobo. Ukuthatha loo ndlela kububulumko kwi-X-Men franchise, ukuyenza ukuba ibonakale ikhethekileyo kwi-cinematic kwaye ikwinqanaba elahlukileyo kunayo nayiphi na enye bhanyabhanya yeqhawe eliza kukhuphisana nayo. Nokuba ukuhlela nokuqamba kukaJohn Ottman kunokuchazwa ngcono njenge-bombastic emangalisayo.

Kodwa ingxaki kukuba iifilimu zokuqala ezimbini kwi-franchise yokuqala (andinakungena kuyo Ukuma mgqibeli ) azikho zinkulu kunye ne-bombastic kunye ne-melodramatic njengezona zisandula ukwenzeka. Ngenxa yoko, ukwaziswa kweScott Summers (uTye Sheridan) noJean Grey (Sophie Turner) iba yingxaki. Amabali abo njengabafundi abatsha kwisikolo sikaXavier babenza babonakale behamba ngeenyawo ecaleni kwamalungu abuyayo (kubandakanya nomsebenzi ongaphezulu kakhulu ku-Evan Peters njengoQuicksilver). USheridan kunye noTurner babonakala bengekho ndawo, kodwa kungenxa yokuba bayadibana nokwenziwa kwabalinganiswa babo bangaphambili, kunokuba babe nethoni yefilimu. Kodi Smit-McPhee (owayemkhulu ngokuchasene noFassbender kunyaka ophelileyo Cothisa iNtshona ) yaziswa njenge-Nightcrawler, kwaye ngelixa ehambelana nokuthatha kuka-Alan Cumming isimilo, uCumming uthanda ukuba ngumdlali weqonga, ngenxa yoko iyangena apha.

Kunye noIsake kunye noFassbender njengama villains ngeli xesha nguShipp, olunge kakhulu njengolutsha, I-esile elibi (obaleka iingxaki zokungenisa ngokulungelelaniswa nomenzi wobubi), uBen Hardy njengeNgelosi (bayilahla ngokupheleleyo inguqulelo kaBen Foster), kunye no-Olivia Munn njengePsylocke. I-Munn, ukhetho lokuphosa endinomdla wokulubona, alusebenziswanga ngendlela engaqhelekanga, kwaye abanakuqonda ngokuqinileyo kumagunya akhe okanye kwindima yakhe kwiqela leqela elibi. Ndibuze umhlobo wam we-X-Men-uyazi ukuba kutheni ebonakala ngathi uyamcima uMfazi (kubandakanya i-lasso), owandixelela ukuba akayonto injalo kwiikhomikhi. Kubonakala ngathi bashiye uninzi lwamandla akhe obuchwephesha (okanye babhala la magunya) ukuze bakwazi ukugxininisa icala lomlingiswa. Anditsho ukuba kufuneka unamathele kwii-comics ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa kutheni usenza iinguqu ezenza ukuba angabi mnandi? I-Munn isekukho ubungqina obungenakuphikiswa kwaye ifanelwe ilungelo lokuthengisa elinomdla wokusebenzisa inzondelelo yayo isenzo. Ngokucacileyo ufuna ukuba lapha, okungaphezulu koko ndinokutsho kuLawrence, owayengenakuba kufutshane nokuzamla xa kufuneka anike ii-monologues kwi-make-up yaseMystique, nangona ebhetele kakhulu njengeRaven enxibe ngokucacileyo.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, oyena mntu ubalaseleyo kule bhanyabhanya usenzeka ukuba abe nguMagneto kaFassbender, kwaye uMculi usabonakala ngathi uthanda ukumnika izinto ezizityebi zokudlala ezingaphaya kwezenzo. Ukulandelelana ehlathini ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kuba ngumzuzu abantu abawukhumbulayo, kwaye kuyenzeka ukuba kube yenye yezona zilula, kodwa ke bathabathe ezinye zezinto ezintle ekusebenziseni imifanekiso efihlakeleyo kunye ne-subtext malunga nembali kaMagneto xa besiya e-Auschwitz kwaye babe nje ngokoqobo. Nokuba uFassbender ubonakala emangalisiwe kukuba besenza olu hlobo lwesigcawu, kodwa njengokuhla kwemihlathi njengoko kunjalo (kwaye kuyacaca ukuba bakhubekisiwe njengoko uninzi lwalunjalo), lowo ngumbono omnye ngaphakathi kumdlalo bhanyabhanya omde.

Kwaye izinto ezinkulu, ezingenangqondo ezidlalwa ngokuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo kwilizwe le-X-Men lenza amaxesha amnandi. UNicholas Hoult akakaze anyaniseke ngakumbi, uPeter unokuba nolandelelwano lobuchwephesha olungcono njengoQuicksilver kunokuba enzile Iintsuku zeXesha elidlulileyo , kunye noByrne noMcAvoy basenayo i-chemistry efanelekileyo. Kukho amaxesha amangalisayo okubonakalayo, ngakumbi isigqibo sabo sokwamkela umbala kunye nokukhanya, kodwa ulandelelwano aluhlangani kunye nokwenza umboniso bhanyabhanya owonelisayo ngokupheleleyo. Kunqabile ukuba kubukelwe, kodwa ayonwabisi. I-Apocalypse ibonakala ifana nenguqulelo yeUltron, kwaye uyayithanda Ubudala be-Ultron , ingqiqo iza ngokwahlukileyo njengoko umboniso bhanya-bhanya uphulukana nomdla wokulandela uthumo lobubi. Kwakhona, emva kwayo yonke intetho malunga nomonakalo wesibambiso, okwenzekayo kanye kwihlabathi liphela kuphathwa njengengxaki.

Kunzima kwakhona ukungaboni amathuba aphosiweyo kwiscreen enikelwe ngamacandelo asetiweyo. Ngexesha, ndilibele uSheridan's Scott kunye noLucas Till's Alex Summers babengabazalwana, kuba imovie ayenzi nzame zokwenza unxibelelwano oluluqilima phakathi kwaba babini, okuyimpazamo enkulu ukuba bafuna nayiphi na into evakalayo ngokweemvakalelo. Turner (endingakhange ndimazi kwa Imidlalo yeethrone ) uyinto encinci njengoJean Grey (nangona enomzuzu olungileyo ukuya esiphelweni), kwaye kwakhona, kulula ukulibala ukuba kufanelekile ukuba abe nokunxibelelana kwezothando noScott. Abahlali badinga ixesha elininzi lokukhulelwa ngaphambi kokuba bajoyine i-Apocalypse njengengekho ngaphezulu kwe-henchmen, kwaye ke, ukubaluleka kwenkcubeko yee-1980s kudlalwe kakhulu, kusetyenziswa izingqinisiso zenkcubeko kuburharha ngaphezulu kwezimvo zopolitiko nezentlalo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, sichithe ixesha elininzi kunye nabalinganiswa abantu abathanda kwaye esibaqhelileyo kodwa kunqabile ukuba siphonononge ngakumbi malunga nabo okanye sihambele kude ukuze sazi ezintsha. Kukho ulandelelwano oluya kuba nolonwabo kunye nabanye babuza ukuba kutheni nakwi-movie; kum, yinkcazo yenkonzo yabalandeli egunyazisiweyo.

Ekugqibeleni, ndashiya i-theatre ndivakalelwa kukuba i-franchise inokuba ihlupheke kwi-buzzword entsha eyintandokazi yomntu wonke: ukudinwa okukhulu. Andiyiva i-spark okanye inzondelelo yabalinganiswa kwakhona kwi-Singer, kwaye ukungavisisani okuqhubekayo phakathi kuka-Xavier noMagneto kuyaqala ukuziva kudlalwa kancinci. Kwimovie malunga nokuguquka okuzama ukuzisa isiphelo sehlabathi, kukho ukunqongophala koloyiko. Andizange ndiyithande Ipuli efile , kodwa ndicinga ukuba impumelelo yefilimu inokunceda ukuhambisa i-X-Men kwicala elifanelekileyo kwaye inike amagama amarike ukuba aphefumle. Thatha Idabi leenkwenkwezi Sondela kwaye unamabali amancinci kwindalo yonke ajonga abalinganiswa abaziwayo. Le franchise ethile inokufuna ukuthatha ukuphefumla ukuze iphinde ihlangane ukuze iqhubele phambili ngokuphefumlelwa okuhlaziyiweyo, ngaphandle kokutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo isiseko esele siyakhile.
