The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1556: The Endless Frenzy
From a full score of 100 to a four-star recommendation, Roger Ebert gave all the praise without hesitation.

However, if someone thinks that this is the pinnacle, then carefully read Roger's full review, which is truly brain-destroying praise.

Originally, as a commercial film, "Spider-Man 2" has limited room for in-depth exploration and analysis. Film critics of Roger's level are busy with work, and they often do not write long reviews. After all, there is not much worth writing in a long review, so there is no need to waste time.

This time, it's different.

Roger wrote a long review, and although his language was simple and restrained, his admiration for Anson was so strong that it almost overflowed between the lines.

While other media tried their best to define Anson as "superstar" as a keyword and give Anson a new status in the entire industry, Roger took a different approach and defined Anson as an "actor"——

Through a superhero commercial movie.

This is undoubtedly a first; moreover, it is phenomenal.

The entire Hollywood produced an earthquake-like effect, which spread out in a mighty manner and stunned everyone inside and outside.

After Edgar read Roger's long review in detail, the emotions that had been suppressed and restrained again and again finally broke free and were fully released.

"Pretty!"

Edgar clenched his fists and raised his arms to cheer.

This film review is enough. After "Eternal Love" unexpectedly overturned the entire movie box office market in the first half of the year, Anson once again ushered in an important breakthrough in his career.

With "Spider-Man 2", he unexpectedly proved his superstar charm and acting skills!
Next, no matter how Spider-Man 2 performs at the box office, in Edgar's opinion, Anson is already invincible. Even if their negotiations with Sony Columbia fail to break the shackles, Anson's position in the Hollywood industry is already unshakable. Coupled with the support of Warner Bros., the war is actually over before the box office battle even begins.

Of course, Edgar was not satisfied with this——

Now that they have already won, they need to win completely. Not only does "Spider-Man 2" need to achieve good box office results, but they are also prepared to suppress Sony Columbia and make things truly develop in the direction Anson planned, completing the final preparations for Anson to reach the top and break through in Hollywood.

But Roger Ebert and the Chicago Sun-Times were undoubtedly a surprise.

Absolute surprise!

Soon, Edgar discovered that the surprises were not over yet. They came in wave after wave, and this frenzy of praise was turning into a feast.

The Hollywood Reporter, 95 points, "It's definitely a refreshing moment to see a superhero with self-doubt and human fragility on the big screen, and Wood and Dunst once again team up to deliver convincing performances, implanting their own colors in the limited narrative space.

Perhaps the only missing piece of the puzzle on the road to perfection is the relationship between Peter Parker and Harry Osborn. The movie should give this friendship more room to play, rather than spending time on the love triangle of a youth campus soap opera." "Variety", 95 points, "surpassing the previous work and most comic book adaptations, it has a convincing villain and a convincing superhero. From the perspective of character creation and plot narration alone, it has stood on the shoulders of countless comic book adaptations.

But what is even more commendable is that Sam Raimi's bad taste in horror movies plays a role in the chemical reaction here, which makes those emotional scenes have vitality. Alfred Molina and Anson Wood, two reliable actors, give him enough space to play. "

"The Wall Street Journal", 90 points, "The editing is so rhythmic and powerful that it brings an overwhelming visual experience, the soundtrack is so vulgar and noisy - the product of Danny Elfman drinking too much coffee, and the photography shows the compactness and impact of Manhattan's steel forest between depth and panning. However, the film still creates an illusion through Anson Wood's persuasive and screen-charming performance.

A kind of illusion that you believe that the superhero is still a young man trapped by troubles. In fact, you don’t believe it, none of us believe it, but at least, you think you ‘believe’. ”

"The Washington Post", 93 points, "It is a pity that such a powerful film has such great energy and potential but it is wasted. Anson Wood is definitely an underestimated, forgotten and even slandered actor. He gives the film energy, but what we see is still not all; however, the final effect is convincing, not only smart, but most importantly, the entertainment effect is full marks."

Not a perfect score, but still praise.

Moreover, it was not just random praise, all of them were praises above 90 points.

Slightly different from other professional media, these top authoritative professional media have more demanding and strict standards. They know that this is an excellent movie and has successfully surpassed its predecessor; but obviously, they can see that the combination of Sam Raimi and Anson has more potential waiting to be tapped -

So who stopped them?
Sony Columbia: …

In the midst of the frenzy, the most important and most eye-catching "New York Times" was late. They were even one of the last media to upload the first batch of comments. Not only in Hollywood, but even in the media industry, there was a lot of discussion. What happened?

Didn't The New York Times like this movie?
The answer, obviously, is no.

Like other top authoritative professional media, The New York Times is looking for the right way to review the film. After all, this is a movie that belongs to New York, and they are more careful and serious than ever, especially in the midst of a frenzy of praise, their opinions are even more important.

“A masterpiece!
Years from now, when people talk about superhero movies, 'Spider-Man 2' will become a landmark work, completely subverting the narrative method of genre movies, and standing the test of time to become a true classic, equivalent to 'Incredibles 2', but even further.

"Spider-Man 2" continues the creative style of its predecessor. Sam Raimi is not creating a superhero movie, but a youth growth movie about justice, dreams and responsibilities. The focus of the camera is no longer on superpowers, but on the people who control these powers.

Not only the characters and the plot, but even the most anticipated fighting scenes and final showdowns in genre films are no exception. They are not fought for the sake of fighting, everything is closely related to the characters, and finally come back to the discussion of talent and superpowers, and also to life choices.

On this level, the film is so simple yet so complex, and the level of completion is amazing.

And Anson Wood's screen charm is the final puzzle piece of all this. When he looks at the screen, everyone sitting in front of the screen can't help but hold their breath, because we can listen to the heartbeat of his soul, which is the key to making the movie go beyond excellence and become a masterpiece. "

One hundred percent!
