So I watched this shit and thought it was pretty bad overall. The skydiving scene was great though.
So why was Godzilla even hunting those MUTA’s to begin with? I understand that the second to last samurai mentioned some bullshit about “rorstoring barance”. But literally why would an animal come out of hiding to kill two animals that weren’t even threatening it to begin with. It didn’t even eat them he just killed them and dipped. Also how the fuck did that small boat get far enough where the coastline would be unaffected by the blast radius and resulting nuclear fallout. It had less then 5 minutes till detonation. Also that scene where Aaron Taylor and Godzilla are both lying on the ground and they made eye-contact was cringe worthy.
yeah, I felt like it was a wrestling event. They kept teasing the champs going at it, but something would make you not get to see them throwdown. Then finally, at the end…BAM! Huge ass battle royale to the fucking death.
Yeah from what I gathered, MUTO’s ate Godzilla’s, due to their need to eat Radioactive things, and used them to incubate their eggs (hence the Parasite comment early on). And Godzilla probably just uses them as a food source.
And RockyB, yeah, everybody I’ve talked to has said their crowd was hype as fuck.
When his foot shows up for the first time, crowd went silent then you could just hear people discussing and whispering and cheering.
I went with a group of 20 (!) on Thursday and half of them criticized two bodily regions of Godzilla: his head/neck correlation (one dude said it reminded him of a Rottweiler) and his stubby elephant derpy feet lol.
I didn’t mind, not like he was dropping kicking niggas
There was also the discussion of how he is able to swim considering how huge his tail was versus his feet size. I guess no one remembers FFVII’s Sapphire Weapon
Wow did you roll deep. I ain’t rolled that deep in ages.
And you can tell your buds that the thick neck and dog-like head was intentional. They said pit bull inspired before he was even fully revealed. And I think it’s fine to give this Godzilla his own distinct look. Makes him look like a defensive lineman or steroid fueled pro wrestler. A creature that breaks and destroys from just the sheer power of his muscles. And that’s before we even get to his other defensive/offensive capabilities.
Does anyone feel like beyond the OBJECTIVELY bland main characters besides Bryan Cranston’s Joe and uninspired Monsters this movie was good? Like I don’t think those things should suck this movie into below average territory. Edwards did a good job leading up to the final fight (I really like the wrestling main event metaphor) so the fact that we just edged constantly is ok. Not like it wasn’t delivered in spades.
I mean we call have different opinions on the movie but as a piece of film making this is at least slightly better than average.
Ah that reminds me, we were roasting the future movie trailers, in particular: Black Widow: The Movie, Twister 2, a DVD extra-quality “trailer” of Transformers 4 (WTF), Tom Cruise Should Die IRL, Jump Street 22 (so horrible) and of course True Detective In Space
I think the only trailer worth a shit was some children’s camp being advertised as wholesome by the adult supervision despite aliens chasing the kids in the background lol. I think that was for a TV show.
Yeah, if there wasn’t a mass FB invite I’d arrive late. Almost all those trailers pissed me off
yeah, our theatre was laughing our asses off at the evil Tornado’s. That Scarlett movie looked pretty fucking good though. Tom Cruise dying repeatedly in a movie should be funny.
And I like how they made Godzilla all ripped as shit. Made it more believable when he started choking slamming shit.
man, i can’t find a copy of Godzilla on the net yet
Went to watch the movie after I got out of work. It was awesome
[spoiler=] - I felt that Bryan Cranston’s character died too soon. He was the only one that gave gravity the situation deserved. Everyone else’s reactions were too reserved for my liking.
After Cranston’s character died his son became useless. I didn’t feel he added or contributed anything afterward.
The MUTOs were fun Kaiju. The design wasn’t bad and the two as a pairing were kickass. I wouldn’t mind them coming back in future movies.
My theater got hype when Godzilla first appeared on screen and preparing to engage the male MUTO. The disappointment of it being a tease hit us hard. The reaction of the kid seeing the monsters fight on the news feed was awesome.
When we got a proper fight it was excellent! It was worth the price of admission alone!
That atomic breath beheading fatality. I need more of that in my life.[/spoiler]
You don’t need the bomb, this a new Godzilla in a new world.
The Joker in the DK series didn’t need the Red Hood being knocked into a chemical vat to be created, because it was a different take on the character in a different take on the Batman world.
As for Ghidorah, the film could easily start off as “oh no a giant alien is invading earth, harvesting all of our x, and destroying all of our y, the military is useless, if only something could save us !?” And then Godzilla emerges to defend his territory like the giant angry, swole, apex monster he is.
If people weren’t commiting mass suicide at idea that there are multiple gigantic and destructive pre-historic monsters hidden deep in the earth than can emerge at any time to possibly destroy the world, in this movie, then they wouldn’t when the same is true for space.
Godzilla can’t do sick wrestling moves and combos to a giant moth. And blowing wind and dropping Godzilla from really high is actually pretty lame.
Shit, at least MUTO had long hook claws and a point second pair of arms to attack with along with his wing. Mothra has tiny moth legs and shoots webs. That shit is lame.
At least Anguirus has shit, like a sonic scream, and giant ass spikes, and the ability to roll into a ball and run Godzilla over, or ram him with his horns.
Shit if they wanted another flyer, Rodan/Fire Rodan would be better.
Why does everybody think that since Mothra flies, the fight would be boring? Male MUTO flies and that fight was fun. Mothra has a LOT more weapons available too. I love how you bring up Rodan, who is even more plain and boring than Mothra.
I think you’re just racist against moth’s, man. Not cool, bro.
They reminded me of giant roaches. Like how you always heard about cockroaches being able to survive in a nuclear wasteland, and they were just the biggest and baddest of them all.
It seems that most people in this thread forgot that Mothra has handed Godzilla his ass every time they fought. Anyone who thinks a fight between would be boring lacks imagination
