Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
片头曲是中文的确实有些惊喜 参杂了一些中国元素可惜国内还是不能上映 有些片段还是挺搞笑的
6/10. Just for fun. For Y70 too.
先说好的地方，看到了博士年轻时的样子，还有一眼就知道主角长大以后的房子家具风格来自哪里。但就我来说笑点一只手能数过来。只要他们一跑起来就用那个手游的配乐，让人回想起这些小东西有多聒噪的事实。整体感觉就是挺低级的屎尿屁，有点小时候大人批评蜡笔小新那意思了。还有就是一看就很渡边直美的功夫大师这段吧，刚开始有一丢丢惊喜后面都给你无聊回去了，也是，你能指望这群黄色的东西在短期内有任何成长才是在做梦吧。我可真是活该明知道吹替难听，硬要买这个只有吹替的所谓特别料金场，多花的票价可能是用来替电影院装饰小黄人元素和请lisa联名了。
3.5 中国元素比意料的少一些，但总体还挺欢乐的。
全場爆笑，坐在前面的老伯尤其笑的歡，哈哈哈哈
挺欢乐的，为了迎合中国市场插入很多中国元素，但是整体感觉一般
太好看了太好看了！！！！想二刷的程度！！！！！中国元素很多，太喜欢了
果然预告片都是精华, 相较之前的系列故事有些过于简单了. 强行引入的中国功夫和十二生肖, 有点机械降神的意思了. Minions的设定其实从Despicable Me 1的短篇故事发展过来要更合理, 还有 minion orientation. 合家欢故事内核, 需要伙伴而不是独行侠. 几个反派刻画的也过于肤浅, 倒是那个疯狂修女印象稍微深刻一些.
【7.5】各方面都蛮合格的发挥，但也没有被惊艳的感觉，格鲁的少年时期还真怪可爱的，小黄人更不用说。美国动画、奇幻片越来越爱用中国元素了...
毫不夸张的说，这居然是迄今为止2022年的电影院最佳
看得开心就完事了。虽然套路但可爱的要死。前传来说比lightyear好多了。
这满满的中国元素，不上映真的可惜了。剧情啥的还是一概搞笑并无脑，缺点在于剪辑有点乱，结尾处有点强行结束战斗。但是整体来看，这诚意，不给4星都过意不去。

前半童年回忆 后半中华风 承接上作复古风 funkdisco赛高 十二生肖新解 以恶制恶 只有更爽 内核仍是一些成年人懂的真善美 笑点不断完全克制不住hhh 彩蛋是小黄人卖萌博士趟不住只得臣服乖乖入伙XD
3.8星/太可爱了吧哈哈哈/观看期间被投喂了很多爆米花，觉得自己像只广场上的鸽子
笑死！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈谁都不能抗拒puppy eye
开头中文歌，Chinese New Year 而不是Lunar New Year，中国不引进真的会伤Universal的心💔三星半吧，最后神兽打架着实有点无聊。
我看小黄人卖萌撒泼：I can do this all day
讲真比我想象的好，本来以为这个系列只剩用小黄人这个IP骗钱的本事了，但没想到笑料还挺足的。中国元素虽然依旧是功夫和唐人街这些万年不变的梗，但看得出导演对港式功夫片应该是情有独钟。
