Dylazodelan posted:G'14 put on a clinic in terms of misleading marketing. The very first trailer, with Godzilla rising out of the rubble and Oppenheimer doing his "I am death" speech, prepared me to see a film where Godzilla was death incarnate and rearing to tear humanity a new one. Instead, he was pretty chill and only wrecked people and stuff when it was explicitly in his way (the shot with him being flanked by Navy ships was cool, but I feel like that wouldn't have flown with the Godzilla we were shown in the trailer). Worked out great for me because I only ever saw that first trailer and I went in expecting a '54 retread, so when the MUTOs showed up and I realised Godzilla was going to be the good guy beating up other monsters I lost my poo poo

LORD OF BUTT posted:So according to IMDB, Shinya Tsukamoto (of Tetsuo: The Iron Man fame) is acting in this? God I hope not. Tsukamoto in the original Tetsuo had an amazing presence, and seeing him in The Bullet Man as a middle aged dude with a beer gut was pretty  , he'll be even worse nowAlso watching the 2014 movie again right now and it holds up! Although Taylor-Johnson is still dull and the Yucca Mountain scene is still head-clutchingly stupid

I didn't like KOTM the first time I saw it, but that was because I was expecting it to have the same tone as Godzilla (solemn, slow, monsters barely glimpsed for most of the movie, that sense of scale that Edwards did so well). Instead I got underwater artillery and supersonic flying wings and underwater civilizations and Bradley Whitford, all at a breakneck pace. It was jarring and wrongfooted me for most of the movie, I couldn't get into it. Then I realized what it actually was (as someone ITT said, the Destroy All Monsters to Godzilla 2014's Godzilla 1954) and now I like it a whole lot better. I even sort of like Bradley Whitford now, although I wish there were fewer quips, humans in kaiju movies should play it straight. KOTM's script is absolute dogshit of course, but then all the Monsterverse scripts are dogshit*. KOTM's probably has my favourite line out of all the movies though ("I have bad news." "Just say 'news', it's always bad.") *(One of the interesting things about the Monsterverse is seeing which actors can sell lovely dialogue. Bryan Cranston can. John Goodman can. Samuel L. Jackson can't. Brie Larson doesn't even try. John C. Reilly absolutely can. Millie Bobby Brown is very good at it. Kyle Chandler isn't. Charles Dance can do it in his sleep.)
