想当年,动画电影《冰雪奇缘》(Frozen) 中的一曲《Let it Go》火遍全球,一时间似乎人人都能模仿艾莎唱上那么几句(笑)~

经过6年的等待,艾莎和安娜这对“冰雪姐妹”终于回归啦,不知道大家周末都去电影院刷《冰雪奇缘2》了吗?

 

没来得及看电影的朋友,可以围观楼下预告↓↓↓

 

续作的故事发生在第一部的三年后,身为阿伦黛尔女王的艾莎,常常能听到北方有一个神秘的声音在呼唤她。

 

而在艾莎的童年回忆中,父亲曾和姐妹俩讲过关于北方魔法森林的故事。

 

妹妹安娜也察觉出了姐姐的反常。

 

于是,她们一行人决定前往北方,寻找声音以及艾莎魔力的源头,而阿伦黛尔尘封的过往以及艾莎安娜双亲去世的真相,也即将浮出水面……

 

不得不说,续作中的魔法特效着实让人眼前一亮↓

 

艾莎安娜姐妹俩的华服,真真是太美了!

 

As the new movie begins, Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) hears strange music from beyond Arendelle, going on a quest with her sister Anna (Kristen Bell), their magical snowman Olaf (Josh Gad) and Anna’s boyfriend Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) to find its source. The journey will not only reveal a surprise about Arendelle’s history but also shed new light on Elsa and Anna’s deceased parents.

 

作为一部现象级爆款的续作,电影还未上映时便已获得众多观众超高的期待值。而在首个上映周末,《冰雪奇缘2》在北美上映首周末创下1.27亿美元的票房纪录,全球票房总计3.5亿美元。

 

目前,该片在中国的票房也已经突破3亿人民币。

 

It was the highly anticipated Disney sequel. 

 

And Frozen 2 has officially iced out its competition, leading the box office on its opening weekend.

 

The animated film managed to pull in $127 million in North America and made history as the largest day-and-date global animation debut in history with $350 million worldwide, according to Variety.

 

然而,虽然在上映首周末取得了相当亮眼的票房成绩,但与前作相比,续作的口碑在国内外有所下滑。

 

在豆瓣上,《冰雪奇缘》的评分目前为8.3分,而续作只有7.3分。

 

而在国外影评网站“烂番茄”(Rotten Tomatoes) 上,第一部的烂番茄新鲜度为90%。

 

而第二部的烂番茄新鲜度,却只有75%。

 

那么,外媒又是如何评价这部回归的续作呢?(以下轻微剧透预警)

 

其实,在看过电影之后,有许多外媒都给《冰雪奇缘2》打了好评。

 

《滚石》杂志 (Rolling Stones) 表示,好歌、好玩、好故事,《冰雪奇缘2》都集齐了~

“《冰雪奇缘2》影评:迪士尼续集是部满是冰雪元素的欢乐续作”

“艾莎、安娜一行人回归公主赋权的童话以及单曲循环的配乐”

 

美国著名电影媒体《IndieWire》称《冰雪奇缘2》为迪士尼指明新方向:

“《冰雪奇缘2》影评:期待已久的续集将迪士尼带往一个充满惊喜和魅力的新方向”

“在精美动画以及一系列旋即成为经典的配乐烘托下,这部备受人们喜爱迪士尼音乐剧深入探索了传统与大胆的冲突。“

 

好莱坞权威周刊《综艺》(Variety) 认为这部续作改变了童话的一贯模式↓↓↓

“《冰雪奇缘2》影评:本着改编童话的精神,这部迪士尼续作集齐原班人马,探索‘幸福地生活在了一起之后’有多么挑战重重,并开创了一场新冒险。”

 

美国商业新闻网站《商业内幕》网站 (Business Insider) 表示,这部续作太值得了!

“令人惊艳的动画、和《随它吧》一样朗朗上口的歌曲,《冰雪奇缘2》是部值得一看的续作”

 

《美国周刊》(Us Weekly) 还总结出了《冰雪奇缘2》的几大精彩看点:

 

回答了你最想知道的问题

Your Burning Questions, Answered

 

或许第一部《冰雪奇缘》的视觉创新以及感人至深的姐妹情令你目不暇接,让你没来及发现影片叙事上的不足。但续作都做了弥补。大家终于知道了艾莎与安娜的父王母后放下姐妹俩出海(并导致两人早逝)的原因。

 

国王与王后的过去与续作中新人物(如一位阿伦黛尔王国的前上尉以及北地游牧民族首领)息息相关。艾莎女王也发现了自己冰雪魔力的源头。

 

当然,如果全片只有厚重的历史,那将会过于无趣,而艾莎也走到了面对自身命运的那一刻。

 

Perhaps you were too busy gaping over Frozen’s visual innovation and surprising tale of sisterly bonding to notice — or care about — some of the narrative shortcomings. Now those loops have been closed. 

 

At long last, you’ll learn why Elsa and Anna’s royal mom and dad ditched them and traveled out to sea (where they met their untimely demise). Their past involves a slew of new characters ushered into the present, including a former Arendelle lieutenant guard and the leader of the nomadic Northuldra trib. 

 

Queen Elsa also discovers the origin of her frozen-to-the-touch superpowers. And, because the movie would be boring if it solely consisted of dense history lessons, she must rise to the occasion to fulfill her destiny.

 

 

动听的音乐

It’s Music to Your Ears

 

再说一遍,《随它吧》是影片不容忽视的重头戏。这首朗朗上口的奥斯卡获奖歌曲无法复制。但克里斯汀·安德森·洛佩兹和罗伯特·洛佩兹这对作曲夫妻档,创作出了艾莎在出发前往未知之地的这首《Into The Unknown》。艾莎唱出那句副歌时,听得人鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。

Into the Unknown
Idina Menzel;AURORA - アナと雪の女王2(オリジナル・サウンドトラック)

Again, “Let it Go” is the freezing elephant in the room. The catchy Oscar-winning anthem can’t be duplicated. But the husband-wife team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez do try with “Into the Unknown,” which Elsa belts out before she sets out into, uh, the unknown. As she soon as she hits that chorus, chills will run down your spine.

 

克里斯托夫大出风头

Kristoff Is in the Spotlight

 

在续作中,克里斯托夫不光表演了一把管乐器,还有了自己的独唱曲。这首歌也是相当不错噢。这首《Lost in the Woods》好玩的复古抒情歌,歌中克里斯托夫夸张地表现着他对安娜的爱。他想要得到她,他需要她,但是她离开了他。他的心还会矢志不渝嘛?!

Lost in the Woods
Jonathan Groff - アナと雪の女王2(オリジナル・サウンドトラック)

In the sequel, he not only shows off his pipes, Kristoff gets his own solo. And it’s a doozy. The number, “Lost in the Woods,” is a tongue-in-cheek retro power ballad in which an emoting Kristoff pines for his love, Anna. He wants her, he needs her, but she left him. Will his heart go on?! 

 

你会不时爆笑

You’ll LOL. A lot.

 

《冰雪奇缘2》中有不少好笑的段子,如果预告里没有剧透的话或许会更好笑。在第一部中,盖德配音的雪宝就是幽默担当。段子从一两句金句到大段地脱口秀都有。给安娜配音的贝尔也有一些不错的表现;尽管安娜不用再去寻找她失踪的内向姐姐,但她还是有点焦虑,精力旺盛。

 

Frozen 2 is funny, and would probably be even funnier if some of the jokes weren’t ruined in the trailer. As in the original, Gad’s eternally sunny Olaf the snowman supplies the bulk of the humor. The jokes range from small one-liners to jumbo-sized monologues, and all it is hilarious. Bell also has some nice moments; though Anna is no longer seeking out her lost and emotionally detached sister, she’s still neurotic and scrappy. 

 

故事更复杂了

The Story Is Sophisticated

 

可以说这整个系列都有所成长。安娜不再是那个爱上第一个关注她的男生的小女孩了;她和克里斯托夫将要订婚。尽管主角一行人一开始作为团队行动,他们最终还是被分开,并学着如何靠自己坚持下去。为了阻止暗算他人的反派,他们必须审视自我内心,而不是捆绑在一起。很显然,背叛、悲伤以及欺骗等主题跨越了艾莎、安娜家族的几代人。主题依然是爱,你的心融化了吗?

 

It is fair to say that the franchise has grown up. Anna isn’t just a girl falling in love with the first guy who pays attention to her; she and Kristoff are ready to be engaged. Though our friends start out as a unit, they ultimately separate and learn how to persevere on their own. They must look within instead of banding together to stop a conniving villain. Themes include betrayal, grief and deception that apparently span several generations in Elsa and Anna’s family. Then again, so is the message of love. Is your heart melting yet?

 

然而不得不说,有一些外媒的点评吐槽起来还真是相当毒舌↓↓↓

 

专业影评网站Cultured Vultures 认为,剧情不是策划得越宏大越好。

“《冰雪奇缘2》影评:越宏大不一定越好”

“我想或许我们应该放下这部电影”

 

这段对全片音乐的评价堪称犀利:

 

One song feels straight out of The Greatest Showman, while another song has the lyrics, “Some look for trouble, while others don’t,” as if they had no idea what to put in the second half of the sentence. Where the first film used music as a means of storytelling, the second film is a musical because the first film was a musical.

 

有首歌仿佛就是《马戏之王》里的,还有一首歌的歌词是这样的:“一些人会找麻烦,还有一些人不会”,感觉创作人不知道后半句该填点什么词了。第一部电影将音乐作为一种叙事方式,第二部电影是部音乐剧的原因,因为第一部电影就是部音乐剧。

 

 

BBC用上了英式嘲讽的口吻↓↓↓

“《冰雪奇缘2》影评:一次半成品的雪崩”

 

从电影中,BBC处处嗅到了圈钱的商机:

 

There are more costume changes in Frozen II than there are at a Beyoncé concert. Most Disney princess animations are intended to sell party dresses to children, but this is the first which is so obviously meant to launch a fashion line. 

 

《冰雪奇缘2》里的换装次数比碧昂丝演唱会的还要多。大多数迪士尼公主动画都有向孩子们售卖派对裙子的意图,但这是第一次做得如此明显,想要开设一条时装生产线的电影。

 

 

《今日美国》(USA Today) 看完电影后,怀念起了令人惊艳的第一部……

“影评:《冰雪奇缘2》无法再现现象级的第一部电影所带给你的震撼”

 

它表示,大杂烩式的主题,让长大了的观众们看得心累……

 

The themes of growing up – especially evidenced by Olaf – make sense for a massive fandom of boys and girls moving through formative years themselves. But unfortunately, “Frozen 2” is a heavily plotted – and sometimes plodding – affair with way too much going on and not enough of it working together cohesively. 

 

“成长的主题 —— 在雪宝身上尤为明显 —— 对大量的小男孩小女孩粉丝群而言合情合理,他们的价值观都逐渐成型。但不幸的是,《冰雪奇缘2》情节内容太多了 —— 有时显得冗长乏味 —— 太多事件都同时发生,而且还放在一起还不协调。”

 

 

那么,在你看来,这次的《冰雪奇缘2》,是否依然给了你当初那份成长的情怀呢?
