復仇者聯盟3:無限之戰 Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

電影名稱:復仇者聯盟3:無限之戰 Avengers: Infinity War
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:25 April 2018
觀看日期:29 April 2018
片長:149 Minutes
導演:Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
演員:Josh Brolin

觀後感:
地球人口迅速增長消耗有限的資源,妄顧文明發展對居住地所造成的破壞及傷害,現在大自然利用其巨大的力量向我們報復,後知後覺的我們已沒法挽回劣勢。很多以上述題材為切入點的電影都會著重於自然威力的影響,讓觀眾預視世界各地將會發生的情況;這一集出現的「救世者」為了地球的持續,決定狠心地把一半人口隨機消失,到底是替人類向大自然贖罪,還是加深對世界的破壞?Thanos(Josh Brolin飾)開始獵取能量石的旅程,Banner(Mark Ruffalo飾)、Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch飾)、Stark(Robert Downey Jr.飾)和Parker(Tom Holland飾)聯手抵抗敵人奪得時間石;Maximoff(Elizabeth Olsen飾)和Vision(Paul Bettany飾)也受到敵軍的追擊,Romanoff(Scarlett Johansson飾)、Wilson(Anthony Mackie飾)和James Rhodes(Don Cheadle飾)出手相助,Rogers(Chris Evans飾)提議眾人前往Wakanda尋求協助。銀河守護隊拾回Thor(Chris Hemsworth飾)的性命,兵分兩路制衡Thanos的力量:Thor鑄造一件武器殺死Thanos,Gamora(Zoe Saldaña飾)則盡力阻止父親的計劃,最後她成為戰爭的犧牲品。Thanos跟守護隊、Stark等人對戰後取得5顆能量石,坦白此舉只是保護被人口過多而摧殘的宇宙。Barnes(Sebastian Stan飾)和T'Challa(Chadwick Boseman飾)加入Wakanda的復仇者們,奮力阻止Thanos取得最後1粒能量石。Thor卻未能在最後關頭使出致命一擊,Thanos成功激活無限手套消滅一半人口,結局也將會在下一集自有分曉。

Josh Brolin是一名美國男演員,他在事業上的進步源自於自我檢討的動作,然後努力不懈地訓練需要改善的地方。他的角色大多數是演技的考驗,不過他不會刻意賣弄精彩的表現,這種默默耕耘的性格深受同業的尊重,代表作有The Goonies、Milk及Inherent Vice。這不是他第一次的奸角演出,以往的形象是殺人不眨眼的冷酷殺手,跟這個角色人性化的一面有很大的反差,讓觀眾對他所堅持的理論有所理解。筆者從未有想過這系列的反派可以滲透感性的部分,即使他是單刀直入進行侵略,他心底裡也是有後悔及猶豫;他在演繹角色中不同面貌上的功架很好,擺脫了傳統反派的表演方法,豐富了電影故事的內容。他的下一部推介是Sicario: Day of the Soldado,電影為Sicario的續集,欠缺Emily Blunt的演出對筆者來說是沒有號召力,他的演出應該不會有太大的問題,同時也沒有任何新的突破。

漫威電影系列已不是第一次介紹,今集屬於大雜燴式的正反之戰,而結果是英雄竟然輸掉了,還要以眾敵寡地落敗。當然製片商抓住了觀眾的追看心態,所以故意將結局篇一分為二,答案即將於明年揭曉。電影的各位演員沒有太多的個人時間,因此不會有角色突圍而出,反而他們合作的力量更有觀影效果,筆者也有一點捨不得即將離開的演員們。今集的視效及音效沒有預期中的更上一層樓,反而對峙的場面變得更緊張刺激,最後消失的場景成功製造話題,全球觀眾十分期待故事在現階段會怎樣完結。很多人會質疑自己的力量過份微小,根本不能改變甚麼現實;筆者覺得這些統統都是不願意的借口,雖然地球正被逐漸破壞中,我們也可以盡能力愛惜自己的居所,實現一切的不可能。

銀河守護隊2 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

電影名稱:銀河守護隊2 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:27 April 2017
觀看日期:27 April 2017
片長:136 Minutes
導演:James Gunn
演員:Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff

觀後感:
人類對血緣關係的執著令人意想不到,無論在成長的路程上是否有好心人的照顧,那些跟血親失去聯繫的人都會想知道父母的身份及當初沒有在一起的原因;然而並不是每一次的團聚都有好的結果,分開的原因、養父母的接受程度及彼此的相處等都可以是重建關係的障礙。我們普遍覺得較保守的東方人會較著重親情,但其實思想較開放的西方國家同樣地把家庭放在一個重要的位置,電影就是講述主角在親情及公義之間的抉擇。銀河守護隊有五位成員:Peter Quill(Chris Pratt飾)、Gamora(Zoe Saldaña飾)、Drax(Dave Bautista飾)、Rocket(Bradley Cooper聲演)和Baby Groot(Vin Diesel聲演),他們的責任是維護宇宙的安全。一名星球的領導Ayesha(Elizabeth Debicki飾)委託守護隊保護珍貴的電池以換取Gamora妹妹Nebula(Karen Gillan飾)的性命。Rocket在任務期間偷取少量電池,被Ayesha發現出兵攻打他們的太空船,最後Quill的生父Ego(Kurt Russell飾)出手相助擊退敵人,並邀請眾人到他的星球暫避。Ayesha聘請Yondu(Michael Rooker飾)的團隊追捕守護隊,礙於Quill是他的養子身份,在緝拿Rocket後持續猶豫應否繼續行動,最後他選擇倒戈Ayesha;Nebula溜走後決定尋找Gamora報仇,以釋放她從小時候累積的怨氣。Ego向Quill透露自己的終極計劃,早前在宇宙間播下自己的種子,希望自己的能力得以持續,而Quill則是協助他的重要人物;其他守護隊成員從Ego的侍從Mantis(Pom Klementieff飾)的口中得知他的詭計,眾人聯手抵抗強大的Ego,Yondu在重要關頭犧牲自己救回Quill,因此得到族群的認同。片尾的片段顯示Ayesha已製造秘密武器對付守護隊,將會在下一集中交代。

Karen Gillan是一名蘇格蘭女演員,為了實現演員夢她到倫敦修讀戲劇課程,畢業前已獲得演藝圈的賞識;她的才華不止於演戲,目標遠大的她在今年推出處女執導作品The Party's Just Beginning,代表作有Outcast、Oculus及In a Valley of Violence。她過往在銀幕的演出經驗不多,憑著這齣作品的前一集嶄露頭角,筆者覺得她的角色十分有型;雖說商業片不會主打演員的演技,她卻是演員們中演得較出色的一位,成功演繹角色冷傲兇狠的性格,讓她在電影中搶去不少風頭。她的下一部推介是Alex and The List,她飾演男主角的親密女性朋友,眼見好友被女友地獄式摧殘,她的角色會怎樣協助處理危機,筆者覺得她的演出應該會偏向搞笑的,期待她日後演出上的突破。Pom Klementieff是一名法國女演員,她年幼時沒有父母的照顧,在成長路上加倍努力獲得老師的認同,繼而進軍當地的電影圈;韓裔的血統為她打開到美國發展的大門,期間她更鑽研武術及跆拳道,代表作有Après lui、Oldboy及Hacker's Game。她在電影上映後大大提升知名度,由於她的角色造型獨特,而且性格上很溫柔,成為Marvel世界中較少出現的角色之一;她的演技在電影中很難被品評,因為她的角色需要模仿特定的說話模式,而且戲份不是佔很多,不過筆者看好她未來的發展。她的下一部推介是Hacker's Game Redux,故事跟上一集有直接關係,她的角色將會非常重要,如果她能夠把機會,應該可以得到觀眾的讚賞。

電影延續了Marvel世界的銀河守護隊之旅程,他們更會出現在The Avengers系列,相信觀眾還有一段時間看到他們在銀幕上的打鬥;電影簡單來說就是Peter Quill尋根之旅,他為了世界的和平選擇了大義滅親,同時揭開了宇宙出現廝殺的序幕。電影演員們的表現沒有想像中好,據聞比起第一集相差不少,不過他們在動作上的苦功也值得觀眾的鼓勵,始終打鬥場面對演員來說也是要消耗體力的。電影在視覺上帶來的效果不錯,特別是開場時的那場配合音樂及喜感的對戰,引起觀眾對作品的興趣及期待,筆者覺得角色的造型也有很好的設計,秉承了系列原有的特色。筆者能夠在一個完整的家庭中成長是一件幸運的事,而這個世界上有很多人的生活都是悲慘的,與其跟別人比較生活的差勁,不如活在當下珍惜所有;筆者特別要寄語年青人學會感恩,認清自己擁有的並不完全是理所當然的,很多時候仍是靠自己爭取才能得到。

故事:18/50

Avatar---阿凡達"我覺得鐵達尼號好睇d"

以James Cameron既名氣為賣點,呢套戲成功在全球獲得巨大既票房成績,相信只係得佢先做得到,他所拍既兩部戲成為全球all-time票房排行榜既頭兩名,照計應該開心。但係今屆Academy Awards出現左個重大勁敵,佢前妻既《The Hurt Locker》又有番咁上下水準,所以佢要揚威奧斯卡都有幾大既困擾。基本上呢類走商業片類型既電影,主要都係sell內容,而唔係sell演技,所以在演員既成本會較低,不過,好似James Cameron咁,即使唔重演員都重出黎既效果,我地先後在兩部佢既戲度都睇得到,所以呢d導演既作品一定有番一定既水平。《Avatar》俾我既感覺係好科幻,一d都唔係我睇開既電影類型,不過咁,有時都要睇下d唔同既genre,先至可以平衡返d戲類。評分:
場景:8/10
