The film critic said: "Although the quality of the film belongs to the typical' A-level investment scale forged B-level film', it only got a favorable rate of 39% from the film critic, but it did not affect the appeal of the film among young audiences. According to statistics, the average score of the American audience under the age of 25 is B+. "

be in the background
Everyone is familiar with Transformers, but seems to know little about special forces. In fact, it is also the trump card product under Hasbro's name. Not only is it difficult to grasp animation and toys at the same time, but a set of TV cartoons, 150 episodes, has been released since it was launched in the 1980s, and more than 30 core characters have been created. After watching Transformers, michael bay put it on the screen. Finally, the "Special Forces" were unwilling to be lonely, reloaded and prepared to show their talents.
However, the comic book adaptation film has been badly made, and superhero themes such as "X-Men" and "Power" are flying all over the sky. So Steven Summers, the director of Mummy, focused on one word-cool! For example, Crysis, eye-catching uniforms and artificial armor, cool characters, cutting-edge weapons comparable to 007, and super destructive visual impact made the trailer selected as the top ten movies most anticipated by male audiences in North America in 2009.
Five highlights of special forces
1, action dolls become heroes
G.I. JOE: Just mentioning this name will make people think of heroism, patriotism and all kinds of strict military training. Hasbro Toys Company launched the doll G.I. JOE on 1964, which was immediately welcomed by millions of children. Brian Godno, president and CEO of Hasbro Toy Company and producer of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", said: "The so-called' action doll' is a brand-new term. Before the G.I. JOE doll was introduced, boys would never play with dolls or Barbie dolls, but every boy wanted an action hero doll. Now the special forces are put on the screen. Producer Brian Godeno said: "This series of dolls attracted fans all over the world and was the most successful toy series in the world from 65438 to the 1980s. "Hasbro Toys Co., Ltd. cooperated with Marvel Comics Company to launch the comic series" Special Forces ". Larry Hama, the young editor of Marvel Comics, is in charge of this project. Hama said, "At that time, the dolls in the toy company only focused on the shapes of these dolls, and there was no story background, so we had to come up with wonderful stories. We thought that these special forces players must have enemies to fight, so we came up with a mysterious organization called Cobra. They are the bad guys in the comics, and the special forces are their opposing heroes, so the story begins here. "

The world doesn't know much about this mysterious organization called Cobra, except that their goal is to rule the world by any means. According to the intelligence report, James mccarron, the founder and CEO of Military Equipment Research Group (MARS), is related to cobra. Mccalon is the world's leading arms dealer in weapons technology. It is said that he has a mercenary force of hundreds of people, Cobra Force. Mccullough is also suspected of being assisted by other ruthless characters who kill people without blinking an eye, including a ninja assassin, a master of disguise and a crazy genius known as the "medical officer". The report also mentioned a woman named "Baroness", but none of this information was confirmed. If these rumors are true, Cobra may become a major threat to law enforcement agencies around the world.
3. "Next Generation" Clothing
Ellen Mironik, a fashion designer, like other staff members, tries to conform to the classic style of G.I. JOE's special forces doll series and comics, but at the same time, it must conform to today's design style. She said: "The production team hopes that I can design a new look, just like the audience was amazed when they first saw Agent 007. This is really exciting because we have designed clothes that we have never seen before, which is what the director really wants to capture. " The first thing she wants to design is the liquid armor of special forces, which is their basic combat suit. "This is a high-tech bullet-proof vest, but it looks a bit like a high-performance ski suit," said Allen Mironica, a fashion designer. In general superhero movies, the actors are all muscles in costumes. Fashion designer Allen Mironica said, "We don't do that. I designed a suit, which we call liquid armor. This kind of armor is made according to the muscle structure of the human body. It's comfortable to wear, just like showing muscles, but the material is so strong that almost nothing can penetrate. And the actors in the film like this kind of armor very much, because wearing it becomes a muscular man, and there is no need to go to the gym at all. " The coolest "next-generation" combat suit in the film is Accelerator Armor, which can run super fast, jump super high and be very strong.
There is a huge and super cool chase scene in the film, that is, Duke and Rickett put on accelerated armor to chase bad guys on the streets of Paris. After they put on accelerated armor, like the most powerful off-road vehicle, no obstacle can beat them. Executive producer David Womach said, "It was the director's idea. This set of armor has many machines and equipment that can make people run at a speed of 50 to 65 kilometers per hour, and it is strong enough to hit the wall. " This invention is not groundless. David Womach went on to say, "Representatives from the Department of Defense came to the studio to see our concept of accelerated armor. In fact, the military is developing similar armor, which can help soldiers run faster and have bulletproof effect. We are about six to seven years ahead of them. " The director invited En Shi Mann from stan Winston Studio to make this suit of armor. David Womach said: "They learned a lot about how to make this kind of armor when they made Iron Man." But Iron Man's armor is very different from the accelerated armor. He went on to say: "Most of the armor in Iron Man movies is made by computer special effects. We hope Malone and Chaning can put on real armor as much as possible to shoot medium shots, close-ups and even stunt shots. So the biggest challenge is how to make the accelerated armor super cool and really functional. " Therefore, they created life-size armor that allowed actors to walk, run, sit down or shoot action scenes. Both Scarlett and Baroness have sexy clothes, especially sienna miller who plays the Baroness. Many of her clothes are made of leather and crocodile skin. The fashion designer said, "She is a top assassin, a bit like the heroine of The Avengers, and her body is incredibly hot." The baroness's main dress is too tight. Channing tatum said, "That dress is so tight that she can't even sit down. When filming, she was in between, and she could only rest on the board. " Sienna miller said, "I'm a bit like Hannibal the Magic Man, standing on a board with wheels. That's my star chair, which says' Baroness'. "
4. Nano worm warhead
The most complex prop in the film, which is also the focus of the whole film, is the so-called nano-worm warhead, which took three months to build. Einhorn said, "This is the first prop I started making, because I know it will take the longest time. Every part is made by machine, and every piece of glass has a mold, all made by hand. " As for personal weapons, the most popular weapon on the set is Scarlett's high-tech crossbow. Einhorn said, "Rachel likes this prop. She just can't put it down. " This prop is modified with a real crossbow and filled with led lights. Rachel nichols said: "It looks like an optical illusion. When the bowstring is pulled open, it really makes people jump. This is almost like a magic trick. Fortunately, it can't really shoot, because I shoot things super accurately. "
5. Military training
Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra is a war action film, which uses a lot of weapons, so the main actors have received weapons training. To their surprise, they used live ammunition in training. R.A. Lund said: "They must know what it's like to shoot with live ammunition, including the recoil and the real gunshot. They must learn how to load bullets, how to use weapons and how to restore weapons into props. All this is very important. " Weapon training makes the actors accustomed to the recoil of shooting, but it is another matter to make them look natural when using weapons, so the crew invited Lieutenant Colonel Paul Sinoe to teach every actor how to hold a gun. He said: "I don't want the soldiers who have just retired to watch this movie and say,' They are just actors'. I hope they will read it and say,' This guy really knows how to use weapons'. " Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Paolo Sinoe will also correct the actors, make them say real military terms, and point out where the script does not conform to military training. He said: "I may correct what the soldiers and officers said in the film, or the jeep was mentioned in the film." People think that the army still uses jeeps, but in fact, we haven't used jeeps since the mid-1970s. "The production team insisted that every scene of" Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra "should conform to military training. Eric Hawson, executive producer, said, "American soldiers represent American soldiers, so he also represents the US military. "Brian Godeno, president and CEO of Hasbro Toys Company, said:" G.I. JOE emphasized heroism and every brave male and female soldier in the army from the beginning. Although the film is set in the near future, it is still based on today's reality. "It's not easy to make" Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra "to satisfy the loyal fans, but it's also a pleasure for the audience who are not familiar with this work, but the film has already been made. Stuart Beattie, a screenwriter, said: "It's a tough task, but we spent a lot of time to ensure that our loyal fans will be very satisfied. We hope they will say,' This is the movie we have been wanting to see for years.' Director Stephen Sommers concluded: "The process of making this film was really enjoyable. Every day is interesting, and there are exciting moments every day. This is a group of people who work together every day and enjoy filming. I also hope that the audience will like this exciting movie. "
