四月份哪些电影最值得一看?除了期待已久的《复仇者联盟4》,BBC还推荐了斯蒂芬·金小说改编成的惊悚片《宠物坟场》、惊喜满满的DC超级英雄大片《雷霆沙赞》,还有合家欢动画《遗失的环节》。
Shazam! 《雷霆沙赞》
DC is wisely shifting its superhero films away from the grim and gritty territory they used to occupy toward somewhere more light-hearted. A case in point is Shazam!, a Superman-style blockbuster, but also a kid-in-an-adult’s-body comedy in the tradition of Tom Hanks’ 1988 hit, Big. Its main character is Billy Batson (Asher Angel), a 14-year-old foster child. After meeting an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou), all he has to do is say “Shazam” and he turns into a fully-grown hunk (Zachary Levi) with all the abilities of the “immortal elders”: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury (note the initials). The AP review enthuses that the film is “a lightning bolt of unexpected joy that is certainly worth your time and money”. Fun fact: the character was known as Captain Marvel for decades before the cosmic Avenger played by Brie Larson came along, but his name was changed recently to avoid confusion.
DC漫画公司近来拍的超级英雄电影很明智地远离了过去常拍的残酷铁血风格,转而选择更加轻松欢快的类型。超人风格的大片《雷霆沙赞》就是一个例证。该片延续了汤姆·汉克斯1988年热门电影《长大》的传统,也是一部儿童误入成人身体的喜剧片。这部电影的主角是比利·巴特森(亚瑟·安其饰演),一个14岁的养子。在邂逅一位老巫师(杰曼·翰苏饰演)后,比利只需说一声“沙赞”,就能变成一个成年壮汉,拥有所有“不死之神”的超能力:所罗门、赫拉克勒斯、阿特拉斯、宙斯、阿基里斯和墨丘利(这些英文名的首字母缩写读起来就是沙赞)。美联社的评论盛赞道,这部电影是“猝不及防的惊喜,绝对值回票价”。有趣的是,在布丽·拉尔森饰演的宇宙复仇者出现几十年前,这一人物原先的名字也叫惊奇队长,不过最近为了避免混淆就改了名字。
