- "Soul Surfer takes the complex emotions, determination and belief of that story and turns them into something a little too simple. Director and screenwriter Ye Wei tells a clich¨¦ in a smart, dashing, and delightful way , semi-three-dimensional characters, good special effects and beautiful Hawaiian scenery." 2/4, Christy Lemire, Associated Press.
"For a 13-year-old girl, Bethany's self-discipline and well-behaved attitude at first was unreal. After she lost her left arm, despite many struggles, her strong optimism was almost weird. Filmmaker Ye Wei should understand that it is important to portray Such a tough gospel character doesn't guarantee a good movie." 1.5/4, David Hitchbrand, The Philadelphia Inquirer.
""Soul Surfer" seems to be too sweet. No matter who it is, being attacked by a shark and losing his left arm is a terrible thing. However, the genius Ye Wei always downplays those horrors, such as Bethany's physical aspects during the recovery process. Challenge, we only got a brief moment of pain about appearance and cutting fruit, and were immediately moved to tears by the sweetness, forgetting that she should have more discomforts and changes. These are rarely problems that can be solved by saying "I believe in God" In the video." b-, Kristen Champ,
"When Bethany went from 'Why did God do this for me?' to 'No matter what, I trust Him and overcoming the odds is my only option,' I stopped blinking my tears and said, 'Amen.' When I look back on it, I wonder if it seems to Ye Wei that all the problems are actually easy, but the characters in "Soul Surfer" are all smarter than ordinary humans, and the best moments that really shine are exaggerated. "2.5/4, Wesley Morris, The Boston Globe
Looking at these movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes on the computer screen, Emma's flushed face was full of astonishment. She never thought that the film critics would have such a view on SS. Is it okay to hit someone? She can still understand that "Mermaid" has declined, but does it still have a freshness rating of 51? She couldn't agree with it at all!
What the hell is the problem? Simple? Fake? Too sweet?
"This!" Emma really choked on her drink of water. She wanted to explain but had no right to speak.
¡°The real-life Bethenny and the Bethenny in the script that she learned from her contacts are all very strong people, and there is already a lot of vulnerability in the film, so what else? Did Beth cry and cry? She doesn't even know how to do it, so how can it be considered real and how can it be considered unreal?
By the way, Beth also said in the final narration "I'm still learning how to deal with frustration and every day". Isn't that true?
Her recovery was not easy, but if we didn¡¯t shoot more of that part, wouldn¡¯t there also be a montage of hard training? If we had focused on that part, it would have been a different movie, and it wouldn't have taken care of all aspects of Beth's life like it does now.
Emma doesn't quite understand. These critics seem to be saying that SS used a way that was not a better/best way. This way ruined the story, so even if it is a great shot, it won't work because the way is wrong. ? It¡¯s so unreasonable!
"Oh God" Looking at the dazzling 32% freshness, she felt a huge loss in her heart. She knew something was impossible. SS was eliminated during the awards season.
This is not the kind of film that more than 70% clings to the edge, but a "bad film" criticized by critics. Those film critical centers have lost ground one after another. Its journey to the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars is equivalent to a death sentence. Any nomination has become a delusion. She I probably won¡¯t have the chance to go to the Oscars next year either¡
It is very possible to win Teen Choice Awards, MTV Movie Awards, etc., because the response from the audience was as good as the premiere. The current audience love rating is 93%, and the imdb score is 7.7. Not every audience likes it, and not all of them like it perfectly, but overall it has serious differences with the film critics.
That¡¯s why! Emma is really unconvinced and feels a bit self-pitying. This happened to her two movies this year. "Mermaid" received a 61% love rating and a score of 51/100 from critics on Metactic.com ( 27 articles) and the audience score 8.1/10 (80 articles), which is also a big difference.
Unlike Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, Metactic has its own unique scoring system, based on a complex process. To put it simply, metactic.com carefully selects the most reliable critics around the world, asks them to evaluate the movie, converts their movie reviews into appropriate scores, and takes a relative average among them to give a rating. The film's score.
So although the sampling is not large, Metactic may be more impartial and credible, but it is usually not much different from Rotten Tomatoes.
This is the first time this has happened to a viy movie, and SS has not yet received a review from Metactic; and his first three films, "The Wedding Day is Coming" scored 75 and 8.3, and "The Exorcism Video" scored 80 and 7.1, respectively. "Little Miss Sunshine" scored 92 points and 8.7 points.
Based on the current Rotten Tomatoes index, it is converted into 30-40 points and 8-9 points This is also the first time that a viy movie has received such a bad response from film critics, as if a great painting has been splashed with messy paint.Emma took a deep breath, only getting more annoyed.
how so?
Such a good movieI talked to my aunt this week, and she was also very optimistic. I also talked to Bethany, who is also looking forward to good results, as is everyone. No matter how much influence the film critics have on the box office, there will definitely be viewers who will lose interest because of the poor indicators before watching SS. The media will definitely say something about the fall of genius
This time it is really "the film critics bombarded viy".
What do you think?
¡¡
"Bethany's story deserves a better dramatic adaptation. Although full of good intentions and shining talents, producer Ye Wei chose a simple solution. Many exciting moments cannot conceal the overly missionary atmosphere of "Soul Surfer" Embarrassing. Bethenny is more of a preacher than a brave girl.¡± 2/4, Claudia Pugh, USA Today.
"Shameless pandering to an escapist Christian family audience. In this airbrushed portrait, the film's sole decision-maker, Ye Wei, controls the one-armed girl's every word, action and thought when everyone has given up , only she persists, it¡¯s a myth.¡± 1.5/4, Lou Rumnick, New York Post.
"Inspirational-storytelling can pull a true inspirational story into the depths of the swamp. What did we want to see from Soul Surfer? It certainly wasn't Bethany Hamilton's incredible resilience. The movie is too much. Emphasizing faith, God may work in secret, but Hollywood and Ye Wei don¡¯t. Whether we like it or not, this movie deserves praise but not praise.¡± 2/4, Michael O¡¯Sullivan, The Washington Post.
"Given the theme of heroic stories, the outside of this movie is like an exciting plate of rice pudding that looks delicious, but when you actually taste it, it's too heavy on the religious sentiments and lacking in other flavors. Strange. Unfortunately, director Ye Wei is not a Christian, but he accurately used Bethany's faith to control the emotions of the theater. I wish he had used the more realistic courage of a 13-year-old girl. "2/4, Lin. Dar Barnard, Toronto Star
It¡¯s fried!
Because of the response to the evaluation issued by SS, countless people were shocked.
Lionsgate was taken aback and slipped into a panic situation. A lot of public relations work has been done before, but it has not been able to change the uneasy atmosphere among film critics. Roger Ebert has not yet spoken out due to his recuperation. He may give a thumbs up or a little tail finger, but it will not affect the general trend.
The media is already surging. The film genius Ye Wei has made the first bad movie in his life!
Film critics who held him in their hands and kissed him last year have recently stepped on him again and again. One week after the planned "Carrie" failed miserably, the director and director's "Soul Surfer" only had a 35% freshness rating on the first day! ! ! More than forty mainstream reviews set the tone that it was a bad movie.
Online new media reported earlier. Rotten Tomatoes said, ""Soul Surfer" failed on its debut. Is it a praiseworthy bad movie?" Yahoo News said, "Ye Wei's new film "Soul Surfer" has polarized reviews after its release. A genius screwed up a year." "Three movies?" Filmctic said "Analysis of the failure of playboy Ye Wei's "Soul Surfer"" Overseas online media also reprinted and followed up.
The critical reviews of other new films this week are not much better, "The Grudge" 10, "Man of the Year" 21, "The Marine" 20, "One Night with the King" 19, but they are not award-winning movies, ss Yes or no?
The first part of Ye Wei¡¯s trilogy of girls was eliminated during the awards season.
Nowadays, most reports on SS¡¯s disastrous failure still have a question mark. As soon as it further fails at the box office, the shady people and the media who are already showing their fangs will tear Viy, who has been in power for a long time, into pieces!
One thing everyone has noticed is that a box office failure may not happen. SS has been generally well received by the audience. Not only are all indicators high, but netizens are also talking about it on social networks and forum message boards. The loudest cheers are those that are touching, tearful, and inspiring
But there is also an uneasy voice, like many film critics who criticized SS for having Christian fanaticism, which is one of the main reasons why it was criticized.
The United States is a country where Christianity (including Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Mormonism) is the mainstream religious belief. In 1990, the number of Christians in the population was as high as 86.4%. More than 40% of American people surveyed said that they do so every week or almost every day. I go to church every week. The other 25 are non-religious (including atheists, agnostics, simple irreligious people) and about 5% belong to other religions.
Although Christianity is the main religion, religious freedom is the political correctness of the United States, and the ideas of non-Christians are elusive.
No matter how the target audience and non-audience feel,??All film critics will act conservatively when faced with a movie that holds a religious stance. For example, the controversial "The Passion of the Christ" in previous years has 49 likes and 49 points; and this week's "One Night with the King" is a Jewish film. Epic films also encounter this situation.
Perhaps no one expected that Ye Wei, who is not a Christian at all, and who was expected to properly handle the religious sentiments of this story, actually photographed Bethany like a heroine from the Bible. This was naturally a bit scary. Critics, many people will give it a low score even if they are Christians and even if they shed tears after watching it.
In this kind of "difficult to judge" time, it is often influenced by group psychology in the end. Lionsgate tried hard to get 3/4 points but failed. The main reason is that the failure of "Carrie" intensified the film critics' hatred of Ye Wei. It failed to provide the film critics with the courage to say, "I give it a high score, and all audiences will agree."
?Part of it is conservative, and part of it is a real allergic reaction, but now it is impossible to collectively change the scores once they are scored. In any case, film critics can only stick to their "professional criticism."
Lionsgate is also aware of Ye Wei's difficulties. Bethany's story is a Christian hero story. She has preached the power of her faith countless times in countless places. The religious criticism of this adaptation has reached the limit of the Hamilton family, and it is not a Christian. The response from the audience was very good.
"Why are people complaining about the religious tone of Soul Surfer?"
At this moment, it is not only Christians who support SS in this regard on the Internet, but more atheists. On the Yahoo news comment board, pnogro said: "I am an atheist, I knew nothing about Bethany Hamilton before watching this movie, and I don't care about her religion, but this movie is very good! "
david81 posted: "Me too, I'm a die-hard atheist, but I love Soul Surfer and appreciate the movie and the real Bethany. Although I don't agree with Christians and other ancient ideas, I can't also I don¡¯t blame her for being persistent. The power of belief is actually a completely understandable part of human nature.¡±

But I am glad to see that "Soul Surfer" does not When this happened, Verity Ye found an interesting way to promote it and make it acceptable to me as an atheist. I want that shark T-shirt! Having said that, this movie is based on a true story, Bei. Seni's faith is like that, and I just feel like I'm seeing a real Christian girl, maybe a little bit arrogant, but I don't feel it."
Nick fan D sighed and wrote: "I have discovered a long time ago that some people don't want to hear about love and faith. They want a movie full of lies, theft, sex, madness, and no good people. Anyone Show them morals, those good things, and they're like, 'Oh, oh, you're violating my human rights, you hypocrite' Jesus."
kigersuki wrote in a long way: "I am a Christian to an atheist, so I have been exposed to a lot of Christian movies and books since I was a child. Most of the Christians, frankly speaking, suck, and they don't treat them as such. Those who take the gospel stories seriously are bad people and those who need to be saved. What a boring bunch of fools. This is the cause of my change in religious beliefs. I realize that most people who believe in Christ do not understand what love and love are. Tolerance, even by my church pastor, is a bully and I will not tolerate them insulting other people.
"Soul Surfer," I think, is what a Christian movie should be. It's a really great example, it's not sanctimonious or self-righteous, and it makes faith so visible that everyone can see how it helps Bethany and her family gain confidence in difficult times. It's obvious but Not overbearing, they all throw it away sometimes, wow, I admire Ye Wei for this alone, he really dares to take pictures!
But he was able to get it back, and in the process he transformed Bethany. God was not the only reason. She went from a personal one-on-one connection with God to a connection between her and millions of other people around the world. They are not necessarily Christians. Her courage came not just from God but from those people, and in fact she still had doubts at the end, but in my opinion she just let it go and let it be. She's definitely not arrogant and neither is the movie, it's honest and honest.
And I love Sarah, the teen mentor, she¡¯s so funny! She is perfect and if I had someone like her in my church here, I would go there every week. "
¡¡
Many viewers spoke out for viy, but his blog, Facebook and other places were still eerily silent. The secretaries are a little anxious, viy, why don¡¯t you just say a few words?
¡°Instead of making a faux drama where the heroine¡¯s arms are digitally removed, you want to know why this movie isn¡¯t a documentary?¡±That is to say, the audience should be allowed to see more real plots, candid character interviews and non-religious emotions, but Ye Wei did not show this trait. He told a beautiful story rather than a true story. . "2/4, Moira MacDonald, "Seattle Times"
"The inspirational story of teenage filmmaker Ye Wei and teenage surfer Bethany Hamilton is the best combination. Unfortunately, viy seems to have forgotten what frustration is. Except for some particularly great moments of conflict, the rest of the movie is like a movie. A sentimental romance, too smart in its dialogue, too preachy." 2.5/5, Steve Ramos, Box Office Magazine.
"It's too bad. The talented filmmaker Ye Wei used all his talents to earn tears from the audience. For this reason, he did not hesitate to bring "Soul Surfer" to a religious brainwashing movie-like situation. In addition, Bethany's mentality can easily change. Make her like a person of uncertain will, sometimes strong and sometimes fragile, but she always stays strong when she needs to be strong, and then there is the hilarious teenage mentor This movie is a mixture of soap opera and sitcom. "1/5, Katherine Murphy, msn-movies
"Perhaps it's time to admit that, whatever its problems, Soul Surfer is a pretty funny, bright and uplifting film. It has such a sincere spirit, and it's not an all-out Christian ideal show, either. The Hamiltons There's even a hint of detachment from religion, but as a critic I have to see more and complain about its flaws, and Ye Wei doesn't put this film in the realm of high-end quality pursuits.
