I saw the film last night, and god drat was it great. For me, I've always loved the two styles of Godzilla more as they approached the extremes on each end. So I love the outright superheroic Godzilla, and with this one, I think I've got a new standard for the 'unstoppable god of death and nightmares' on the other end. Almost every scene with Godzilla gave me chills, and the fire vomit into particle beam scene was so powerful, it'll stick in my brain for years. There were only about 30 people in the theater, but everyone loved the political satire, with a lot of laughs at various absurdities like the note passing contradicting previous assertions, unnecessary political jockeying, or dumb bureaucratic bullshit. I definitely loved those scenes, since without them, it all would have been a bit too bleak, and it broke up the tension nicely. Also I do think the little derp babyzilla was cute, but it's a testament to the film that they made it so unnerving in actual movement.

You kid, but I'd love one of those. Actually, no, I'd love a plush toy of the first form that has a little motor inside it that you can turn on to let it flop around. It'd be adorable and I'd buy ten.

CelticPredator posted:I saw Jackson's Kong like 3 times in the theater. I was really into that flick. I still kinda dig it but I do skip around quite a bit. Meanwhile, I feel bad for not being excited for this because I've never liked Kong in any iteration. I do like the idea of a Kaiju Cinematic Universe though. (I'd kill to see a hypothetical Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla  )

What even are these crossovers anymore? https://twitter.com/MillisBrent/status/799790059973029888 Not that I'm not 110% behind Blade Wolfzilla.

I'd be okay with getting F/Z Uro too. But really, he's totally the right person to get. And he won't have to think up reasons for people to die horribly, it just happens naturally as part of the genre.

Isn't the new Eva movie now named 3.0+1.0 instead of 4.0? This is some kingdom hearts level naming poo poo now.

Ben Nerevarine posted:I actually turned it off after about a half hour. I also saw it once before years ago and remembered it being frenetic, but I didn't remember the dad rock, the anime sensibilities, the snap-cut editing, the wild story about human mutants, and the intro featuring a Japanese sub captained by a Jesse Ventura lookalike. That half hour wasn't good, but it was fun. so wait what part of this is supposed to be the bad part
