Vintersorg posted:This looks amazing and I cannot wait. But I highly disagree with your opinion of Godzilla 14. Edwards did a superb job of building up suspense and the slow burn paid off. That Godzilla was a force of nature and I think even more screen time would have cheapened it. At least in his first movie. Yeah too bad they killed the only good actor within the first 10 minutes and we had to follow the most boring dude ever alive for the whole movie. Thanks kick rear end E: Anyway the new movie looks loving awesome. All the tank and anti-air missile shots were straight out of evangelion for loving sure. Anno is going to go crazy on this one.

Saw this last night and I loving loved it. This was way better than Godzilla 2014, all the actor performances were great and much better compared to the 2014 one (minus Bryan Cranston obviously). I loved the themes and the message this movie had, as well as the heavy political satire. Its gonna be very difficult for Western audiences to relate since it focuses so much on the Japanese government and how they slowly respond to everything. All of the early reviews I feel like missed the entire point of this movie, but I've been seeing a lot more positive reviews now that it is out here. Want to try to watch it again sometime this weekend if I have a chance.

So from what I understand is that it’s a significantly worse movie compared to Shin Godzilla which I think is probably one of my favorite films ever. I still don’t get the love for Godzilla 2014, never have never will.

Taking a look at reactions online and everyone is already assuming that godzilla/kong will team up against mecha godzilla and people are feeling underwhelmed by that and honestly me too. In all these vs movies its the only thing that they do and its just not really an interesting premise let alone a surprising one anymore.

So I just rewatched Godzilla 2014 for the first time since 2014 and King of the Monsters. They were much better on rewatch, 2014 more so than KOTM. The issue I believe is that KOTM just loving goes batshit crazy and they just go all in with future tech and all this stuff that wasnt even there in the 2014 movie. Huge tonal whiplash. It’s also not as quippy as I remember so that’s good. 2014 definitely holds up on rewatch though.

Gripweed posted:Shin Godzilla is amazing and in some ways very similar but in other ways very different. Like, there is no human relationship drama in Shin. All the humans in Shin are reacting to Godzilla as individuals within a much larger bureaucracy. Wait what? Huh????? Did we watch the same movie?

It is so over the top. I'm watching Monarch and its like, how am I supposed to take this show even remotely serious when I know where it ends up (Godzilla vs Kong hollow earth and wild rear end space ships and poo poo)

Just rewatched Godzilla 2014. I hated this movie after watching it in the theater and thought it was pretty bad thanks to its boring leads and how they killed off Bryan Cranston’s character. But looking back, I think I was just so enthralled with his character and it was right after Breaking Bad had ended so he could do no wrong in my eyes so that really annoyed me. Also I guess I watched it in 3d and it was dark as hell, but now watching it on 4k on my tv, and honestly this movie kinda owns? Like it’s got great pacing and great moments and just kinda kept me engaged. It’s a shame the rest of the movies in this universe went batshit insane (eco terrorists in the second one, gvk basically the whole thing is goofy as hell), but yeah idk I just wanted to talk about my experience with 2014 again. The build up also was much more enjoyable and it is cool that they tease the action until the end. Also the MUTOs are not that bad. It was good man.

Honestly I think they do a good job with the human story in G14. Like actually!Big Mean Jerk posted:G14’s human story is like one casting choice (ATJ) away from being an all-timer imo. He does fine, but get someone stronger in that role and give Elizabeth Olsen more to do and people would be universally praising G14 today. Yup it’s this. The marketing really really left me wanting more Cranston. But watching the movie now, so far removed and also without that breaking bad hype, I think the only change would be to give him a more meaningful death. It was very anti climactic and he did act really well in the movie. The conspiracy angle I believe was also really amped up in the marketing and the movie has some of that but it’s not really concerned too much with it. I think with some tweaks his death could have been a bit better received. And honestly ATJ isn’t that bad in this. I think he did a good job.

Just rewatched Godzilla KOTM. Holy poo poo I forgot how loving annoying the script was. They were trying so hard to be funny. From memory GvK was not this annoying whatsoever. Like straight up serious scenes are cut by the randomest of quips and jokes. Tonal whiplash all over the place.

Just got out of the movie. The worst part was the two kids behind me (literal children so what can you do) just yapping the entire movie at a loud - ish volume. Thankfully it was imax and the sound drowned them out most of the time. Anyway if you like the last movie youll enjoy this. It’s a lot of fun. It’s big and stupid and trashy but gently caress it, it’s fun. And the human moments pay off by the end. Godzilla hitting that suplex in imax was worth the price of admission. Give me more. KOTM is the worst of these movies for sure.
