Would have been nice if it was about Godzilla tho

They said the next one will feature him more, and that it will be "bigger and better"
>>68011896
Explain to me why I should put any faith in that when a film called Godzilla had precious few Godzilla scenes.
The film's decision to focus on family drama and human dilemmas was a huge mistake. Any human stuff should have been focused solely on the Monarch organization and not the twins from Age of Ultron
When I pay to see a Godzilla movie, I pay to see incredible miniature sets destroyed by giant monsters who are fighting. Could you imagine how cool it would have been if the producers had ever seen a Godzilla movie?
FFS they didn't even show the Las Vegas fight, you had to see it between characters playing on a tv in the background
It wasn't even fun or clever, it was just "haha oh man you waited to see the Godzilla movie, FUCK YOU lol XDDDD"
>>68011486
If brian cranston stayed alive for the entire duration this movie would have been good.
Also
>godzilla is the good monster! get the baddies!
wtf, godzilla should be the big bad, not random giant ayy lmao.
>>68011486
Are you fucking kidding me you fucking piece of shut? This movie's only slightly redeemable quality was based Cranston and they killed him off only to have his retarded no neck son take over. This movie actually gave me diarrhea. This movie should never t be reproduced any more. The worst thing is that my idiot brother actually bought it in Blu-ray. I am so Fucking pissed off at you right now
>>68012140

You'd have whined about over-saturated monster action footage with diminishing returns. I liked the ratio they struck.

On a planet that wasn't theirs. Fucking immigrants.
But seriously I agree, although it's kinda hilarious to see Godzilla fuck the shit up of two matched gargantuans who just wanted to breed, while he wanted to.... destroy the competition

Why? Japanese Godzilla movies are garbage

What? the MUTOs aren't aliens.
>>68011994
>godzilla is the good monster!
well, if you like it or not, that has been his role in a lot of movies. Maybe even more neutral/force of nature
>>68013606
But when Godzilla says you dont belong to this planet, you dont belong to this planet
https://youtu.be/q_Fc3ic6F1Y
I sometimes wonder if people who get upset over this movie... ever saw any of the others.
Being mad that the camera is following a small assortment of human characters around, as they weave into and out of the monster/monsters is fucking bizarre.
That's every fucking Godzilla movie. Sometimes is a family, sometimes its a scientist, sometimes it's the military, sometimes its a businessman and sometimes it's fucking aliens. But it's always there.

The original Godzilla pales in comparison to its sequels and the kaiju culture it built up around it. Godzilla movies were schlock films whether you like it or not where they had men in rubber suits fighting each other
yeah, some had environmental messages and commentary on power and authority or whatever, but please don't make the series out to be deep and intelligent
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack pretty much sums up the fundamentals of the series
Giant fucking monsters man
And this movie had so little to do with that. I wanted a giant monster action movie. I loved Pacific Rim because it actually included what people wanted to see: fighting robots fighting kaiju.
If you liked the "ratio" they struck, then did the characters stay with you? Can you even tell me Bryan Cranston's character's name without looking it up?
>>68011985
>The film's decision to focus on family drama and human dilemmas was a huge mistake.
That's basically my problem with the first dozen movies or so. It probably goes on but I haven't seen anything past Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Mothra is a total babe though.
>>68013722
That's a nitpick, not a solid complaint. It played with the tension to good effect, and seeing Godzilla emerge to roar at the camera was well worth it
>>68013659
>>68013754
The original Godzilla is by far the least schlocky/campy
>>68013758
If the american releases ever reach Mothra I hope it's laden with soft-erotica music. I'd love that bizarre shift in tone

yepp, but don't gauge what the series is about by one film
The series is about giant monsters fighting
the remake did not deliver on this

>>68013906
But it was cerebral and intelligent.
And giant monsters fought.
>>68011994
cranston was shit
HI MUSHY MUSHY
>>68013770
tension and cockteasing the audience are different things. people wanted to see godzilla fight the mutos. there could have been a lot of great small fights to build up that tension. Maybe having to fight each one one-on-one to show the audience the skills and limitations of each monster and then when godzilla has to fight both at the end, you really feel the tension of him fighting for survival and dominance or whatever, knowing he's outmatched
then maybe monarch needs to step in with their radiaton or secret technology or something to tilt the odds in godzilla's favor. maybe they know that godzilla can never be fully controlled but they can do what they can to ensure he can be guided and enhanced to fight these monsters that definitely cannot be guided or whatever
Not to get off-topic but what do you autists feel about the upcoming Gamera?
I hope this slew of giant monster movies are successful, as pleb as they are I always have a fucking blast sitting through them no matter how shitty my day was
>>68011985
>Film focuses almost entirely on Godzilla
>It's a soulless monster movie with little depth and plenty of destruction, I felt like it was MoS all over again, 2/10 not enough quips
>>68011985
The movie doesn't insult your intelligence. You KNOW who Godzilla is, he's been one of the biggest film icons of the past 60 years. Everyone in the world knows who Godzilla is.
They made a point of setting up the Muto and human characters, although I wish they had picked better actors because ATJ was a fucking piece of wood in this movie.
The only time I cringed during this movie was when Godzilla was swimming in formation with the US Navy.
>>68013906
I would agree, that they gone a bit too far with the slow build up and teasing and that the protagonist couldnt really carry the movie. But, the fights were really well executed. I was absolutely excited in the cinema. The sense of height/weight, the music, the sounds,... top monster fighting action
>>68014054
you seem to have forgotten the one half of the movie involving the Ultron twins and Bryan Cranston and their family drama. also the fact that the government was desperately trying to keep Godzilla covered up. just embrace that shit.
the film didnt focus on godzilla man
thats why it blew
>>68014080
Eh, I think that is an interpretation, he really is just swimming while they track him closely.
I was kinda surprised they didn't go the old monster movie route and have a crazed general trying to kill Big G.
>>68014102
this movie was focused on the sublime, plebs are upset over 'b-but the monsters didn't have much screen time'
anyone who watched the original and has patrician taste 'got' this movie. 15 year old retards thought it sucked.

>>68014127
those movies always focus on how people react to godzilla. you cant just make 2h of fight scenes
>>68014127
>that's why it blew
I enjoyed it. I didn't mind the family drama, it intertwined well with action at times (the airport scenes, the train bridge scene), at other times it was cumbersome sure.
>>68014184
You are not a Godzilla expert if your only toho watching experience was the 1954 movie
jesus christ what a fucking snoozefest. I literally tried to watch it three times in a row but ended up falling sleep during the first hour
Its a mystery for me how they could create a movie so uninteresting in every level. My friends tried to watch it as a group while drunk but even then they ended up just shutting down the movie and playing cards instead. What a fucking lame-ass borefest
>>68014221
Based Miller made 2 hours of car chases and it worked
The director said that Close Encounters was a huge inspiration for the movie and that he "grew up watching Spielberg movies, what they did so well — as well as having epic, fantastic spectacle — they made the characters feel real and human. We were trying to do the same thing here."
Did any of the human characters appeal to you? Can you name a single one of the human characters? Why would they try to turn a series about fighting monsters into a human drama?
I didn't care much for the MUTO's design and Aaron's character was not interesting in the slightest.
I loved almost every second. I don't remember the last time a big summer blockbuster was such an audio-visual experience, the dialogue was basically irrelevant to the visuals, sound design and the score. It felt genuinely cinematic in a way I wasn't expecting a 150 million dollar summer movie to be.
I didn't even mind the lead, he was fine for what they needed him to be.
>>68013559
>squandered potential: the movie
>>68014237
so much fucking this
>>68014290
fair enough. but that still means, it only works if you dedicate the majority of the screen time to human characters
>>68014255
DUDE GETTING WASTED xDDD WHILE WATCHING A MOVIE LMAO
>>68014102
>But, the fights were really well executed.
There was only the one fight though.
>>68014237
That's not my only experience with the Toho Godzilla films, but this is the first one in the reboot. It's supposed to focus on a relatable human component, like the original Godzilla. The monster fights were great in this movie, so I don't know what anyone is complaining about. It just needed more Cranston/less soldier guy
>>68014300
Based Cranston was great, Jason Bourne CIA guy and Japanese scientist were kinda cliche but did what they were expected to do. It would be nice if they expanded upon them a little bit
The problem was most of the human scenes were anchored to Kick Ass and he is a terrible actor.
>>68014300
there was walter white there if i remember right, he was a cliche scientist character who appears in every catastrophe/monster movie ever. He had a wife and a kid am I right? I also guess he was worried about them? Other than that I don't remember any other characters except the comically fat godzilla.
>>68014378
>monster fights
There was one.
>>68014127
>Bryan Cranston
Talk about being cucked in a movie. Cranston should have been the main protagonist. After he dies, until the HALO scene is just a bunch of unsatisfying filler.
>>68014427
Two.
Airport scene
Downtown San Francisco
>>68014320
yeah, unfortunately this.
I still remember how hyped I was after seeing that teaser (HALO-jump). It was good, but there really was potential for a GOAT kaiju movie in there
>>68014374
everyone has a fucking right to try and have fun watching a movie called godzilla
you friendless virgin
>>68011486
We had a thread about this the other day and one anon said the movie would have been far better if Cranston had survived and Kick Ass died, he then talked about how the scenes would play out differently and we'd get character development for cranston as he came to understand and overcome his failure as a father through his grand son and daughter in law. sound pretty great actually.
>>68014485
DUDE
BEER
>>68011486
It got bad reviews because people went into it expecting Pacific Rim 2 and got mad because it was actually a kino
>>68014489
That would have been a far better character arc.
>>68014456
Roaring at eachother is not a fight
Biting the Muto's wing before the doors shut in front of the camera is not a fight
>>68014489
thats pretty much what everybody wanted. also: cranston + watanabe teamup
>>68014516
Pacific Rim = Marvel
Godzilla = DC
>>68014508
whats wrong with beer, faggot?
>>68014456
Are you fucking serious? Why are you counting the airport fight, when it was shown on a television in the background? Like, there is a huge Godzilla reveal, the giant foot-stomp and then it cuts to a child sleeping.
That is not a fight scene.
>>68014577
DUDE
>>68014577
durn to ya
>>68014578
gonna call it, some anon is going to try and validate 'what is a fight scene' by arguing 'how much is shown isnt what matters' i'm calling it now, do it.
do it anon. please.
>>68014584
We call him Gojira
>>68014577
he never got invited to have a drink and now my cruel message about goofs taking beer while watching a shitty movie triggered him. Internet truly is horrible place
>>68014578
That scene change was pretty stupid yeah.
>>68011486
it's damn good blockbuster movie. topnotch cinematography, amazing Cranston performance, actual tension, etc. the only not so great thing about it was the lead actor. he was rather bland. i would rather have had Scoot McNairy as the lead than the generic Hollywood male model. i am also grateful the movie did not pander to that kaiju culture that would rather sacrifice story for monster fighting. just my two cents.
>>68014522
Definitely. How talked about how some scenes could remain nearly the same but have much more resonance simply by changing the character. The lost child on the monorail train for example becomes a moment of character growth and realisation for him that his obsession with staying with the death of his wife caused him to be separated emotionally from his son.
>>68014729
So it wasn't a fight scene. So the movie had one fight scene. Jesus fucking Christ, when will you give up defending this movie tripfag
just come to the dark side
>>68014462
me too, that jump was a spectacular trailer bit that made me think we were getting a stylish and modern disaster flick about godzilla
instead we got a grey boring godzilla art film with the worst-lit "epic" fight ever
the final (one of two maybe) fight wasn't even well choreographed, it literally felt like cutaway footage while the mc did meaningless bullshit
oh wow blue fire what a climax
>>68014462
>HALO-jump
What a fantastic fucking sequence.
>>68014760
>instead we got a grey boring godzilla art film with the worst-lit "epic" fight ever
I loved how the final fight was lit, I thought it fit perfectly
All my friends hated this movie and made fun of me for loving it. I thought it was an amazing monster movie. Pretty low on cheese too.
>>68014578
it was like when your gf gets all touchy and sexy but then stops for some reason, leaving you with your balls blueshifting
>>68014838

>>68014861
I didn't hate the lighting itself, but half the time the action was a dark indiscernable mass of monster
I thought it was very underwhelming for 2 hours of buildup
and the entire last half of the movie is just dark black dark with bits of fire
Hey everyone
wrong board, but did anyone here read Half Century War? Great Godzilla story with amazing art as well.
I loved it and I'm a big Godzilla fan.
A lot of the Godzilla movies focus on the human element so I don't understand that complaint. I definitely wouldn't have killed off Bryan so early though.
>>68015356
no, but Im gonna look into this. any other godzilla comic you would recommend?
>>68015722
Godzilla goes to Hell
>>68013754
The original Godzilla is by far the best of them.
>>68015722
HCW is the best one, but all the IDW minis (Legends, Gangsters and Goliaths, Cataclysm, Godzilla in Hell) worth a shot.
Don't bother with the ongoing ones.
>>68013754
>The original Godzilla pales in comparison
Original is the only objectively great one. Also better than any of the contemporary American monster movies.
>Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Overrated as hell, praised mostly because of Kaneko's name. It's very underwhelming when you compare it to his Gamera trilogy.
>Can you even tell me Bryan Cranston's character's name without looking it up
It's Joe Brody, last name is Spielberg reference #687.
>>68015936
ty, sounds fun
>>68016112

>>68011486
>Godzilla was in it for 11 minutes
G-great flick!
>>68016445
meme complaint tbqhwyfamiliano
it's a glorious 11 mins and there's plenty of monster action with the MUTOs beyond that
>>68015516
Yeah, the older ones focus on humans, but how is that supposed to invalidate the complaints about the human side of THIS particular movie being boring shit and the monster aspect being a cock tease until the very end?
Also, if you want to promote your movie to wide audiences, most of whom likely never saw a Godzilla movie in their lives from beginning to end (or maybe they did but it was one of the shittier ones because those are more famous, or the 1998 one because it was distributed all over the world), you can't expect your viewers to bow down to the argument that "it's like those old ones so you shouldn't complain about it."
Especially when a lot of the Toho movies' human plots are boring or outright garbage themselves.
>>68016921
well they tried to make a Godzilla movie for people that like Godzilla movies. I think it is a fair point
>>68017038
Most people don't watch it for the boring human interaction schlock they watch it for fucking GODZILLA!
Always been the biggest fuck up of the godzilla movies there's never enough of him.
Should've kept Cranston as the main character.
I hope that there is a bright future for Kaiju movies
>>68016921
>"it's like those old ones so you shouldn't complain about it."
You can't please the public. Either you make a bleak-ish movie in spirit with the original or you go ahead and make Final Wars Murrica edition. In the end no one is gonna be happy.
I loved the new one and found the human story in it more interesting than like 90% of the Jap movies I've seen.
>>68018074
>inb4 fuck yeah all of them should be like Final Wars
No. FW was a nice attempt at trying out something cool, but ultimately the movie is a poor, tryhard, misguided mess and a disappointing 50th anniversary event. G'14 was a step in the right direction.
>>68017038
Which is a noble intention, except didn't they put the franchise on a decade long hiatus in the first place because the films only appealed to the Godzilla autists but barely anyone else?
It's not that they should have tried to please everyone, because that's impossible, but surely there's got to be some workable middle-point between the two extremes >>68018074 mentions. One which allows for better monster and human plots, and doesn't require fans to bust out the same "oh it's kinda-sorta like the shit we got before" excuses when faced with legit complaints. Hopefully the sequels will be more successful in reaching that point.
>>68018043
>Rodan is a monsterlet
I never noticed this before
>>68018442
I really wouldn't hate another final war but its way to early in the new franchise for that.
KING GIDORAH WHEN?
>>68015002
That comment section obviously doesn't appreciate underrated kino.
>>68019468
Don't judge by this pic, Rodan's average height for Showa-era kaiju, but Godzilla and Ghidorah are listed as the Heisei versions for some reason. Showa G was only 50m too back then.
>>68013576
inb4 the sequel's villain is a politician whose campaign is based off building a gigantic fucking wall to keep Kaijus out while the script tries to justify why that's evil.
>>68019931
Why would these issues interest the target market (China)?
>>68019931
The wall's so big it knocks Earth slightly out of orbit, straight into the path of an oncoming asteroid. This leads to a Gorath remake.
>>68019686
That was one of the things with the new one: I can't think of what those classic foes would look like in that universe. I'm looking forward to seeing them try to make sense of them in sequel though.
>>68014578
>>68014456
Imagine if in Jurassic Park, when the T-rex escapes his pen, and they decide to cut right after. And then cut to destroyed cars
That's exactly how it was in Godzilla
Anyway it was a cool movie, but I can understand how the cock tease made everyone angry. Hopefully Edwards will learn from this mistake and we will have a awesome Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs Kong
>>68019931
it happenned in the Godzilla Kingdom of monsters comic
Was pretty hilarious
It was a 4/5.
There was literally nothing wrong with the ratio of Godzilla. Like every scene past the initial hatching at the monarch station involves the mutos or godzilla in some way. How fucking autistic can you be.
>>68022692
b-but the movie is called GODZILLA not MUTOs how can you have only 10 minutes of the title character waaaaaah
>>68011486
It could have been

>>68011994
This.
I saw like the first 20-30 mins on theatres but the sound totally fucked up and blasted after that. We got free tickets but didn't come back to finish it since it went down hill after Cranston died IMO.
Its cheesy but watchable, worth the price of admission. But I wouldn't re-see it
>>68019686
All day. Erry day.
Garbage forgettable flick. It makes sense that it's another blockbuster that is being "vindicated" by the new hordes of tourists coming here from Bvs and SJW Wars. That's the extent of their film experience.

U mad is more like 08 new friend.
I downloaded this just to watch the fight scenes and just to see how little monster action was in the movie.
The final fight was terribly cut with only one single long shot of Godzilla breathing down the muto's mouth. Glad I didn't bother with it and why is it so fucking dark?
>>68011994
It's clear he didn't give a shit about people. He probably drowned countless people in the tsunami he caused in Hawaii. It's just that the MUTOs were fucking shit up more than he was.
>>68026329
From what I've heard the blu ray transfer is pretty damn bad. Can anyone confirm?
>>68011985
Godzilla was in this more than he was in the original film, you fucking pleb.
