I disagree with your feelings on Godzilla 2014 because of the many reasons others have articulated since the criticisms came out.

Haha I thought it would be like, a random offhand comment he makes in a video on another subject, but he uses "CGI" incorrectly like 50 times in a 6 minute video.

The use of 3D animation in anime has been... a struggle for me. Often it looks like the framerate of the 3D stuff isn't keeping up with the framerate of the 2D stuff and it just looks like absolute poo poo in terms of the movement. The Godzilla anime (part 1 at least) was one of the worst offenders I've seen personally, on top of just being ugly artistically. But then something like Beastars comes along and looks absolutely fantastic, and I'm not enough of an expert to know what all went into it working so differently for me. Maybe it has a crazier budget than I realized or something.

Lol I will squeal if Kong can actually speak, after the trailers are faking like they're just impressed by his sign language.

Personally I have more faith in this than KOTM because of Adam Wingard, but I loved his Death Note and am real excited about his trajectory. I'm not super knowledgeable on the subject but KOTM felt likely way more studio-managed given they gave it to "some guy" to direct, and it was maybe more of a marketing "universe establishing" movie than anything else.

I didn't know that about Dougherty being a big fan, so that's nice. I guess I felt like a lot of the big picture of the movie felt very... cobbled together, so maybe that was just more me complaining about it than having a specific point about the studios. But stuff like Charles Dance getting barely anything to do reminded me of Max Von Sydow being advertised so heavily for Star Wars TFA.

Yeah I love the way the human element works in '14. I think that's a lot of the reason for my issues with KOTM, it feels like they "corrected" that stuff in the worst way. Now, in GvK I'm not sure. Kong can basically be the human element for all I care.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:i liked Bernie's characterization. he's introduced as this goofy annoying idiot but the very first scene he's in establishes that it's just an act and he's taking advantage of other people's contempt for him in order to have greater freedom / autonomy. it also mirrors Kong hiding his intelligence from Monarch and Jia and Ilene hiding what she's actually saying from Nathan With Kong's legacy being so strongly tied to racist ideas of "noble savagery" etc., Bernie was wonderful to me. This movie completely sidelined the stupid patriarchal white guy (no offense to Kyle Chandler, it's just what the character was) in favor of a genuinely interesting goofy Black man. And I've never seen a better use of the "comedically paranoid conspiracy theorist" character than one who has ingrained obnoxiousness into his personality for five years specifically so that he won't be noticed in his investigations. Maybe I'm biased because I love him in Atlanta. The human stories are goofy, absurd, and funny, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. This movie was awesome. e: and yeah same as teagone etc., I really ended up hating KotM but loved this. Martman fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Apr 1, 2021 |

I really loved how they teased Mechagodzilla such that it ended up still being a twist to me. My skimming over news and stuff led me to believe 100% that the Godzilla we were seeing in the first half was actually Mechagodzilla, with the real one maybe being trapped somewhere. So it ended up putting me in a great spot of like "Okay it's fine that Godzilla is loving all this poo poo up, I'm sure he's fake......wait...... ok but drat..." I actually loved the callback to G'14 with Godzilla just absolutely wrecking the bridge in Hong Kong as opposed to making an effort to protect the Golden Gate Bridge in G'14... it conveyed to me that in the first movie he was really just doing business as usual. His job is to protect the world from assholes, but he still likes to avoid slaughtering people when it's easy... but Mechagodzilla disgusts (and maybe scares) him so much that he just goes ham immediately and does not have time to worry about casualties.

Yep this was awesome. I think I preferred Shin Godzilla but it's hard to compare movies at home to seeing this on a giant movie screen. My ears were literally ringing after one scene, and I was like "hell yeah." I love how hard the main dude sends it with his performance. I'm not super picky or one to quickly judge which acting is "better" than other acting because I think people get too hung up on realism, but I definitely think it makes sense to go ham when you're competing with a giant monster.

I thought Godzilla was preparing so hard specifically to deal with Shimo's ice powers and their ability to cause an ice age. It visually made enough sense to me under that assumption and then his pink breath dispelled the start of the bad weather that Shimo had put in motion. This somehow hit just the right notes for me. Definitely some stuff felt rushed, especially Mothra's resurrection as y'all mentioned, but the comedic vibe of the human story managed to not annoy me. Everything with baby monke worked way better than I expected, and Kong swinging him around to beat the other apes was absolutely my favorite moment.
