IIRC Peter Weller was in a season of 24, so Keifer Sutherland could fight/team up with RoboCop.

gently caress him, nobody cares. Show us the scientists trying to figure out how to stop Muto, but for gently caress's sake, nobody gives a poo poo about PFC Asswipe, his loving wife, or his retard kid. Stop taking up movie time for some shoe-horned love-plot, some stupid kid bullshit, and some goddamn soldier that nobody cares about.

Monsters was (arguably) supposed to be a love story, though.

When I think of loving GODZILLA I think of monsters smashing cities to pieces and roaring and causing all sorts of mayhem, not Private Smith and his adorable family.

I liked how there were three separate "oh on a kid is in danger false alarm they're safe now" AND a "oh no a dog is in danger false alarm they're safe now".

I rewatched the 1998 Godzilla and was stunned at how it doesn't have any longass breaks from monsters and monster-related activities to discuss the humans' backstories. There's also no pets or children.

EmmyOk posted:

It's not terrible, honestly. The Mutos are pretty cool monsters, the setpieces are nice, and Godzilla himself is awesome when he shows up. Even Corporal Asswipe works alright as an Everyman to get put into situations to see the monsters up-close (there's no excusing Wife and Kid, tho).

But it's not the movie that the amazing Oppenheimer trailer promised, or the movie that ANY of the promotional material showed, or is still showing in the ads for the DVD.


The childlike glee I felt when Godzilla's spines began lighting up was worth the ticket price, though.

Have you watched it recently? It is just a terrible movie. Like the constant "jokes" about people not being able to pronounce the main character's last name. Or the bizarre digs against Siskel and Ebert or how the only thing Vicki Lewis' character does in the entire movie is just ogle Matthew Broderick.

He would have been a bigger threat to Godzilla if he was just driving a car.

You do know the original movie had very little Godzilla and it was mostly about the scientists?

Seriously, I understand the gripes about the new Godzilla (even though I enjoyed it) but saying Godzilla 98 was better than it or Pacific Rim is just cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Godzilla 98 has a scene where helicopters crash because they're chasing Godzilla around between buildings, instead of just flying straight up.

I think the new Godzilla was good, and for a lot of the same reasons that others hated it.

I agree that the casting/writing for the human viewpoint character was the weakest thing about the movie, but I completely disagree that having it in human viewpoint instead of eye-in-the-sky monster-cam for most of the movie was a bad thing.

The anticipation of seeing Godzilla in action was great. There was no Godzilla fatigue, they teased us, showed us a little, then snatched it away. The big fight was just short enough (and awesome enough) to make us want to see more. Finishing a movie and wanting to see more of that same thing RIGHT NOW is a success from a movie making standpoint. I'm sure the sequel will probably have Godzilla on the screen for 50+% of the movie like all the Michael Bay fans wanted and it will be terrible like they deserve.
