Interesting thing is apparently it does have a US distributor (most likely WB). http://augustragone.blogspot.com/2016/07/godzilla-resurgence-to-hit-100.html Also more footage and score preview (though taped off TV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvJhZFUnEV8 Also at an advance screening one person called the film "fascist propaganda"  The two other reviews that I've heard of basically said it was either okay or meh.Apparently the military in the movie is not the SDF, but an "offensive-oriented" Japanese military (which is fine by me). If you want to know why this is controversial just google Article 9 Japan debate. Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jul 20, 2016 |

Jimbot posted:Are these reviews in English? Do they elaborate on that? No, it's from internal sources another person knows. Apparently it's the Japanese military not being configured as the SDF. I can't add anything more unfortunately. That person hated the movie though and said it was as bad as Attack on Titan FWIW.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Godzilla vs Hedorah kicks so much rear end and I still wonder why it hasn't caught on in the midnight movie circuit I don't think Toho has a 35mm print for rental. They also charge (regardless of format) a lot per screening. Combo that with while Toho really likes the AIP (they even have a beat to poo poo print of it in their LA offices) dub they won't allow any release of that for fear of getting sued by someone coming out of the woodwork (dubber), might explain why it's not being played a lot.

Liberal Idiot posted:vs. Hedorah, Final Wars, and vs. Megalon are all excellent suggestions for that type of Godzilla movie, but I'll stump for Godzilla vs. Gigan (aka Godzilla on Monster Island). The bad guys are cockroach people from space and Godzilla speaks! Gigan also has a fantastic score...yeah it's all stock music, but it's still good.

PriorMarcus posted:I really don't get what's going on with the trains in that trailer. It's being used to immobilize him. The trains are packed with explosives and being remote controlled. Once the immobilized they plan to pump him full of a chemical agent. It actually is kind of similar in broad concept to what they try to do to him in KKvG. They also use a poo poo ton of US Drones and even US Cruise Missile attacks

What makes Shin Godzilla such a success is that it is so good when Evangelion was such a steaming pile of horse poo poo.

All the human drama was mind numbing crap about miserable/horrible people who I didn't care about and their personal lives. Robot stuff was fine. That's what makes Shin Godzilla so great...it doesn't have any of the human drama I hated...along with being a fantastic movie.

HannibalBarca posted:We've confirmed no English subs, right? Oh yeah. Toho never puts English subs on anything Godzilla related. I know there are subbed boots floating around (one cut taken from an airplane screening of all things) and another was a dude caming a US screening. In short subs should be out in no time. I mean heck I wasn't the only dude who got a screener from Funimation, so there are complete subs out there on a ton of discs.

Stairmaster posted:I was rewatching this and i just noticed its pretty much stated that the us was planning on more than dropping a few bunker busters on Godzilla. It seems like they were gonna re-enact rolling thunder on tokyo with the damage predictions they gave the ministers. Eh I don't think so. The MOP II which is based on the real life MOP is a gigantic bomb. You're not redoing Rolling thunder. I think a more likely reading is point damage radius depending on when the bomb was deployed. Truthfully the MOP II's that hit all hit on target and did little to no unintended damage. A more likely reason is that whoever designed it just wanted it to look cool and didn't put much thought into it. I should post a cap of Patterson's state department bio. It's magical Engrish.

Mokelumne Trekka posted:I hope Godzilla isn't portrayed as a big dumb animal especially since G'14 and KotM established Godzilla as intelligent. Or so I thought. That's one way to avoid Kong stealing the show and having more interesting methods of combat (i.e. battle axe) I’m getting the impression that Godzilla is under some sort of control that is causing him to act violent against humans.

I was thinking too that Godzilla and Kong will unite. Funny when I asked my young son who would win, he said “Godzilla and King Kong.” Honestly, I think he might just be right. I mean both Kong and Godzilla have been faces and it would be weird to do the heel turn on Godzilla, at least after the first two movies.

If they want to mine from GvMG and the refinery fight...I’m a okay with it looking like the 1970s. Also to truly look like the 1990s and a Godzilla film it needs tons of lovely matte work.

The bitch please line was pretty hilarious. https://youtu.be/oXpEQCOsywk

Detective No. 27 posted:Ah. I see what you mean. I can concur on the John C Riley’s character and I guess I can see that. But Jackson’s character struck me as a person who carried about his people and would have properly just retired or stayed a career soldier after Vietnam, but nothing about him struck me as a guy who was going to do horrible stuff in South America or Iran. I guess I can also just accept he had a mental break and totally lost it. Which makes him a little more tragic as opposed to a guy who gives a speech about mowing doing civilians for fun. He struck me as bitter, but not unlike many from that era. But like I said I generally liked the movie.

Maxwell Lord posted:The footage they use is from War of the Gargantuas which you absolutely should see, it's on HBOMax and Criterion Channel. The monsters aren't Bigfoots, but spawn of a giant Frankenstein monster (from Frankenstein Conquers the World which isn't on streaming sadly.) Yeah in the US version (UPA version with Russ’s actually voice) not the Toho export dub) all the references to Frankenstein are removed. Honestly FCTW is really not that good, more of a curiosity, WoTG as you mention is far far better. In GVMG they use the term Bigfoot Garia(?) which was the green Gargantua.

Mantis42 posted:Ah, there are different dubs. That explains why when I watched it on TCM there were clear references to Frankenstein despite the host introducing it by saying the references were removed. And even edits too, there is differences in some of the footage and editing and music used too. Some stock tracks stuff that even later turn up in NoTLD iirc.

It’s amazing just how much better this film is then KOTM. Only area I’d say it isn’t is the score, and that’s a debatably point. Hell even the goofy stuff I was annoyed about in KOTM I’m fine with how it’s done here. That said I hope they put deleted scenes out as extras, cause no way was that all Lance Reddick was cast for.

Gatts posted:#ReleasetheReddickCut well why not posted:There's no way they hired Reddick for one line. Wiki says he's cast as a Monarch high up, so between that and the brief runtime, there's definitely a subplot on the floor at Legendary. I’ll be very interested to read about the production history for the movie when the info starts coming out. It was delayed so many times and it seemed like it was a hard transition from to KOTM to Godzilla vs. Kong.

RIP to my Childhood GOAT You gave this man some gas and blasting caps and he'd give you art. Those 1970s Godzilla films, along with Return of Godzilla are such a central part of my childhood (in part because they're fun as hell and US distro at the top making them a very common VHS release that was easy to get at even Sam Goody's (yes I'm old). Do yourself a favor and pour one out to Nakano and put one on the TV today. https://twitter.com/Patrick_Macias/status/1544263080728997889?s=20&t=wl7NLz_5uYkc-hb9PLDrFQ
