According to the time zone, the release time in North America is 8 hours later than that in China, so the reviews in North America are also more than 8 hours later.
Compared with the reviews by Chinese movie fans and film critics, the reviews in North America are more professional and can easily affect the film reviews in other regions, so Wang Shang's main focus is on North America.
At 3 a.m. local time in North America, film critics who watched the midnight premiere posted comments about "Transformers 2" on their Weibo, blog, and website.
Sweet, a film critic contracted by "The Chicago Press", commented on his Facebook: "After watching "Transformers 2", there will definitely be two types of people. One is based on the plot, and the other is based on the special effects.
If you talk about the plot, you will say that it is not as good as the first one. Although there are more special effects, the plot is not enough compared to the first movie. If you talk about the special effects, you will say that there is no plot in this kind of movie. It is clear that it is just scenes and stunts.
, those who watch the plot are idiots. I am the kind of idiot who talks about the plot. Indeed, the plot of "Transformers 2" is terrible. Rotten Tomatoes and imbd, I can only give it 4 points. As for the freshness, it is 40%.
.”
Another film critic was also quite unkind: "Michael Bay is purely the spokesperson for explosive special effects. He doesn't care about the diffraction and sublimation of any aesthetics, and it doesn't matter how cool it is. In the past, special effects were not all of the film. What sold Superman and Spider-Man was
Character creation and special effects are one of the attractions; The Lord of the Rings sells an epic plot, and special effects are the icing on the cake; Titanic sells stories and emotions, and special effects are the bargaining chip for atmosphere. Only Michael Bay's Transformers.
You said that the first part can be said to recall childhood memories, but the promotion and film presentation of the second part from beginning to end can be summed up in one word, special effects. My rating is 3 points, and the freshness is 30%."
The special reviewer of "The Hollywood Reporter" also criticized: "In a two-and-a-half-hour movie, the events and plot twists experienced by the protagonist are not as many as the 40-minute episode of "24", although it is similar to "Terminator 4"
"Compared with this, the plot rhythm is much better controlled, but it still seems out of control. The score is 6 points, and the freshness is 40%."
There are criticisms and praises. Sci-fi film critic Harman praised: "The production process of stunts is very labor-intensive, and they are all meticulous work that strives for excellence! The facial features, eyes, and various fine parts of Transformers...
After seeing the concept drawings of "Transformers 2" and comparing it with the actual finished product of "Transformers 2", I sincerely admire those masters who are full of fantasy. I give it 8 points. The freshness is 60%."
No matter what the reviews say, "Transformers 2" has staged a huge movie-going craze around the world. Three days later, the global box office on the first day exceeded US$330 million, with China and North America contributing the most.
The popularity of "Transformers 2" has greatly improved Wang Shang's popularity. Moreover, there are too many reports that disparage Wang Shang. What the public wants to hear now is praise for Wang Shang. Sometimes the media is so unscrupulous.
, for the sake of the market, moral integrity is not a problem at all.

When Transformers was released globally, Wang Shang was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his family.
This year's Spring Festival and New Year's Eve, a group of foreign actors came to the house again. Wang Shang originally wanted to drive them out, but the king's father and queen expressed their love and entertained them happily. In the eyes of his parents, Wang Shang has so many good things.
Friends, this is definitely something to be happy about.
"Director, I think the position of general director of the Spring Festival Gala is very popular. When will you be able to come up..." Michelle asked carelessly, but before she could finish speaking, the person next to her pulled her sleeve and motioned to her.
Don't say any more.
"It's okay, let's talk about it when we have time." Wang Shang looked calm. Although he was stripped of his identity as language program director this year, Wang Shang was not angry at all because he felt that this position was too low. Wang Shang wanted to
Wang Shang is the chief director of the entire Spring Festival Gala. But even so, Wang Shang might as well criticize this year’s Spring Festival Gala program maliciously.
Programs are becoming more and more modern. Since magic has gained enthusiastic support from hundreds of millions of people in China during the Spring Festival Gala, it is also indispensable in this year's Spring Festival Gala. The performance is a magic trick that transforms a person into a living person and a piece of bread.
In addition to magic, the proportion of modern singing and dancing has also increased, and a sketch and cross talk category have also been added, which made the royal family, queen mother, and a group of foreigners laugh.
Wang Shang watched the Spring Festival Gala with a critical eye and felt that this year's program arrangement was good and better than the previous year.
Stay at home on the first day of the new year, visit your parents-in-law on the second day of the new year, visit relatives on the third day of the new year...
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the crew of "Avatar" started to work. As soon as the crew and actors arrived in Zhangjiajie, they received a big red envelope from Wang Shang. The actors didn't care. After all, they are all rich men.
The crew was overjoyed and cheerful. They felt more energetic moving boxes and their physical strength had improved. The Spring Festival holiday syndrome was gone.
After a whole day of work, I finally put all the equipment and props in order, and the next day, the work on "Avatar" officially started.
When the mobilization started, Wang Shang encouraged everyone: "According to the progress, it should be completed next month, so everyone works hard!!"
At this time, a staff member raised his hand and asked: "When will it be officially released? I can't wait to watch it."
The person next to him nudged him with his elbow and whispered: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I already said it was January 1, 2013."
"Is it going to take ** months in the later stage? Isn't it too exaggerated?"
Wang Shang understood what they meant and explained: "Although filming was completed in March, this movie is very different. Its post-production workload is many times more than that of other films, and the post-production time will be longer, at least half a year."
above, so it won’t be released so soon.”
After the mobilization meeting, the crew began the first New Year's shooting.
————————————————
When work started this year, Wang Shang did not return to the company, which made many employees who were looking forward to receiving big red envelopes miserable.
"Where's my red envelope?"
The practice of giving out red envelopes on the first day of work started by Wang Shang has gradually become popular in the past two years. In countless companies and factories across the country, the first day of work has become a day for countless employees to rejoice. And the only ones who suffer are the leaders who want to give out red envelopes.
.
A year later, Wang Shang's popularity increased a lot because of his status as the initiator of red envelope distribution.
At this time, "Thor" was finally released. The first step was to be released in North America, and then gradually promoted to the overseas film market. Once it was released, it received a lot of positive and negative reviews, but it still received mostly positive reviews.
The fierce battle in the middle, the final battle at the end of the film, and the Rainbow Bridge battle all made the audience hooked; and the vast amounts of divine realm, starry sky, and wild planets shown in the film also combined computer special effects and real-life shooting to create excellent light and shadow effects.
.The 3D depth of field and out-of-screen effects are quite good, making the audience feel like they are in the world of Thor.
The evaluations of the cunning film critics in North America were also mixed with praise and criticism.
"Thor, who exists as a god, is the most difficult to express among all Marvel characters, but this movie did a very good job. I heard that the actor Chris Hemsworth who played Thor was originally just a
He is a small TV actor, and he is also in an overseas TV series, and I heard that he was recommended by Wang Shang from China. Just like Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man". I have to admire this Wang Shang's ability to recognize people.
It’s surprising. I don’t know how many unknown stars will want to hang out in front of him in the future.” ---- "Variety Show".
"This is a high-level work by Marvel. They have successfully launched a new hero this time." - "thewrap".
"This movie has a great style and provides the audience with an excellent fantasy journey in the latest 3D format. The special effects and film settings ensure that the audience can be fascinated by the world and gain an exciting and exciting viewing experience." - "International"
screen".
There are also many film critics who disparaged "Thor", but no matter how these foul-mouthed film critics criticize, the popularity of movie watching outside is not low at all, although it is not as good as "Iron Man", "Transformers" and other movies.
But it can be considered a good box office movie, with a box office revenue of more than 700 million US dollars.
Coupled with the peripheral products and online sales that are more than the box office revenue, it is enough for Marvel, Disney Pictures, and King Film to earn gold coins.
The success of "Thor" has obviously made Disney even more excited, and it is immediately preparing to launch "Thor 2", and "Avengers" has also been stimulated by this to prepare in advance. The film and television adaptation rights of Iron Man and Thor are in Disney's hands. The Hulk, the United States
The film and television adaptation rights of Captain are in the hands of Universal and Paramount. Currently, Universal and Paramount are very interested in the Avengers script. However, Hawkeye and Black Widow have not yet been adapted into movies, so "Avengers"
The crew formation should be put on the agenda soon.
Wang Shangting was glad that he had exchanged the comic rights of "Transformers" for the movie rights of Iron Man and Thor, so that he could share a lot of profits in this movie feast.
On February 3, 2012, "Iron Man" was finally released worldwide. It stayed in North America for more than 60 days and accumulated a global box office of 830 million US dollars.
In the front, "The Amazing Spider-Man" with US$750 million, "Captain America" with US$890 million, "X-Men" with US$780 million, "The Colony" with US$630 million, and "Rio" with US$630 million
It opened with $550 million worldwide.
It can be seen from here that sequel movies are more popular than non-sequel movies, and single-hero movies are more popular than multi-hero movies. However, these movies failed to break through 900 million US dollars, which has to be said to be a huge regret
.
However, most of these films can rank among the top 20 in global film history, which is enough to show that the global film market has experienced stimulating growth in 2011.
At this time, the North American box office statistics agency also released the 2011 box office summary report in a timely manner.
The total global box office in 2011 exceeded US$47 billion!
The highest in North America, contributing $13.9 billion in box office!!
China contributed US$5.2 billion, second only to the EU.
In terms of year-on-year terms, the total box office in 2011 was 130% of that in 2010, an increase that exceeded everyone’s imagination!!
After Wang Shang received this data, he was stunned. Wang Shang clearly remembered that the global box office data of the previous time and space in 2014 was only 35 billion US dollars. He did not expect that this time and space would completely explode in 2011, exceeding 34%!!
Wang Shang thought deeply for ten hours and finally came to an important conclusion in life: "Making movies is the best!"
