Just watched Godzilla. Really pretty movie with some rather generic boring human characters and to little Godzilla. So in another words it was - for better and worse- a true Godzilla movie. Also, Godzilla himself was pretty much perfect. Loved the scene with the falling jets and Godzilla charging his atomic breath. Renoistic fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Feb 28, 2016 |

Gatts posted:"He's just a...Flash...in the pan." - Batman/Superman. The R rated version will have Cavill doing a Cockney Superman and go "Oi you're a flashy oval office aren't ya?" Also they can have the superman / Wonder Woman / invisible man loving joke in there as well with full nudity !

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Taylor-Johnson is 'boring' because his role in the film is to be the normal person who has the whole metaphorical battle going on in his subconscious. He's a cypher for the most part. People were probably expecting him to be the protagonist or at least a focal character but he supplied a narrative point of view for the second act with pretty much zero agency. Godzilla was mostly absent for the first two acts (apart from the opening credits montage his name isn't until mentioned 44 minutes into the film and he doesn't appear until the 59 minute mark) and the audience isn't sure whether he's a villain or not to start with but it turns out he was actually the protagonist. It's not until the climax that Ford stop just going with the flow and starts being proactive, torching the MUTO eggs and taking the boat out to sea. Bryan Cranston/Joe Brody was the false protagonist used the get the plot rolling but he hung around too long (I'm guessing that his role was beefed up after the success of Breaking Bad but I can't remember if that was confirmed or not) and that may have also confused audiences. The director actually goes to a fair amount of trouble showing that Ford is just a narrative point of view and restricts him even further in key action scenes, encasing him in vehicles or isolating him on bridges (or both at the same time!) to distance him from from the events and limit his agency. In the scene where the MUTO first appears Ford is locked inside a van and the director actually adds a second layer of encasement by having him put on a gas mask which restricts his vision and even his hearing. During the first fight between Godzilla and the MUTO Ford is trapped inside a train which is isolated on a monorail and he also has a child he has to care for. When the MUTO attacks the military train Ford is stuck out on a bridge. If he'd been a standard action movie hero he'd be leaping about striving to make a difference but in each of these situations he could only watch helplessly while the world gets torn apart around him.

Which is totally in keeping with the spirit of Godzilla movies. The protagonist of Godzilla films is Godzilla himself. The scale is too large for one human to matter too much.

But it took the rest of the cast to convince Serazawa the oxygen destroyer had to be used. Then they needed the military's help to deliver it. He was important but he wasn't acting alone.

What was said above. Gojira is actually one of the most character driven ones too, and it's still entirely an ensemble work. Which is great. Really wish the Transformer movies would take a cue from that.

Serazawa's ability to kill Godzilla isn't what made him matter, it was his sacrifice to ensure that his scientific breakthrough wouldn't create another disaster.  ... and then they went and rolled that back in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah when it turns out that the use of the oxygen destroyer in '54 led to the creation of Destoroyah in 1996.

He wasn't the star if Godzilal either but he appeared in plenty of films between 2008 and 2014 and tons of TV. And since Godzilla he another dozen credits on IMDB. All I'm saying is his profile had already been raised by Breaking Bad by that point. Hell BB had pretty much wrapped filming before Godzilla even came out.

WB is probably trying to repeat the financial success of Man of Steel, where the budget was mostly paid by product placements. I read somewhere that MoS cost WB just a little bit higher than Deadpool for Fox because of this.

"We use Turkish airlines in our film because Batman vs Superman represents a certain level of high conceptual value and I think Turkish airlines represents that same level of excitement and value to us. That's what's got me really excited about this project." Whatever you say Snyder.

Open scene to Alfred preparing a Coke for Bruce after returning from a mission. Centre label in frame. Alfred "Ah master Bruce it is good to see you returned. Care for a refreshing beverage?" Cut to Bruce, cowl removed and sweating profusely Bruce grabs the bottle, label out and drinks deeply "Thanks Alfred...I needed...," A large explosion rock the batcave. Dust covering the interior. A figure approaches the camera, standing regally. He tilts his head down. The camera follows his gaze. Bruce is covered in rubble and reaching out, his hand grasping for the Coke bottle. The figure kicks the bottle away and the camera pans up. Superman holds a Mt Dew bottle and strikes a pose as the sun shines from behind. After finishing a thirst quenching drink he looks at the camera. "Do the dew" End scene.

Really, those wintergreen Lifesavers were the only product placement that wasn't something that got destroyed in Man of Steel, and that's probably because we never saw them. I'm expecting a Turkish Airlines plane to be destroyed mid-air by the look of things.

This is the reason why I never understood the complaints about the product placement in MoS. Warner Bros took money from Sears and IHOP and then blew up their establishments. It's funny! If the rumored Wonder Woman through the decades trilogy happens, I hope we get a 70s Diana Prince walking into a Victoria's Secret and setting fire to every bra.

I am vaguely aware of how fast Flash can potentially go in the different source materials, it's just that making him able to go that fast in the movies would create a similar problem to giving Superman his ridiuclous ever-expanding set of Silver Age powers. He'd make the other superheroes redundant in the problem-solving area.
