Are movie critics retards? Who in the fuck doesn’t like giant monsters?

Transformers is shat on for being shit.
t. never actually seen a transformers movie

Critics aside, I've heard almost nothing but good things about this. I wonder if it's going to have any legs based on word-of-mouth.

When a movie with more monsters isn't quantitatively better than the luke-warm predecessor... Critics are right on this one.

This movie did not feature a scene comparable to "the kiss of death" from the 'first' one. This movie was the Ironman 2 of the Monsterverse

Right as it's clearly a contender for the very best Godzilla movie

I’ll let you in on a little secret here

it’s good

“Quantitatively”?

U wot

Not enough monsters fighting. The movie was almost all humans who were even worse compared to the first movie's. At least in that one they talked less and were less annoying. Mothra dying has no impact because she literally has no character. Godzilla's big fire attack is just him standing still with a CGI explosion coming from him, it looks like a fanmade youtube video.

However, the movie did at least do one thing right. Gets salty weebs crying and complaining everyday for the rest of their lives that other people found the movie disappointing. Cry more.

MARVELFAGS SEETHING

This is going to get rough for you when the movie overperforms thanks to the good word of mouth

I kinda agree, the finale was a letdown and humans were obnoxious as fuck. There was only 3 scenes that were alright. I doubt even me and my friends who are huge kaiju nerds will see it again.

Monster design and battles were top notch, but there were many American blockbuster cliches in it.

The very first sentence.

It wasn't great, but they're going in the right direction now which is good news. The movie was a solid 5 out of 10 for me.

those who can’t do, teach. those who can’t teach become critics

That is an F.

he's right tbqh. there's a lot of monster fights but the movie is still mostly human shit, maybe 30 minutes of monster fighting for a 2 hr movie.

Multiple problems
>characters- way too many, military contingent led by that weak actress was only good for quips. Scientists provided only exposition. Shorten the list and flesh out the fewer characters more. Get rid of techie glasses quip quy, the military grunts and colonel Shaniqua, and Silicon Valley nerdjew.
>CGI was ASS, it felt like a massive step backwards from 2014. Ghidorah's texturing and motion was fucking jarring at time.
>Titans went from prehistoric apex predators to neolithic gods, complete rewriting of the backstory
>The score was awful WITH THE EXCEPTION of the original 1954 theme being inserted- which was abruptly cut off. The scoring felt amateurish.
>Not enough violent destruction of innocents- I know this will sound bleak and macabre but you need to see how people die, like a hurricane these monsters are a unmoving force of nature. I think ot would have built a sensation of dread in the audience. The 2014 movie had no qualms with showing the gross destruction but this one feels like they had to show humanity surviving it- every town was majority evacuated, we even had the unnecessary Mexican child savig scene- it reminded me of the dog scene in Independence Day.

true, but this movie paves the road for King Kong vs Godzilla

/Spoiler/ My guess is Mecha King Ghidora or Destroyah for the next stand alone Godzilla based on what happened in the movie or for Godzilla vs kong, Kong will have Godzilla pinned to the ground and Godzilla will communicate to Kong in monster speak to save Mothra and Kong is like why did you say that name and Godzilla is like that's my mom (or side kick) and then they team up beat up rodan but then destroy appears and Godzilla sacrifices him self in the fight but don't worry he comes back in the next movie

It was kino. Basically a top-budget Heisei cheeseball. Everything I ever wanted from a Hollywood Godzilla film. Extremely excited for GvK now.

This

I liked 2014 more

Lifelong fan here just got back from watching it, here's my thoughts:

Pros:
>monster design was great, Rodan, Ghidorah and Mothra looked fucking fantastic
>great sound design and cinematography just like G14
>plenty of monster fighting and all the action was great, lots of neat callbacks to the classics
>ken watanabe got a great death
>mothra a cute!

Cons:
>half the human cast were annoying quippy cunts
>the entire eco-terrorist subplot felt kind of forced and unnecessary

So basically monster good human bad.

Also the ORCA shit was dumb and I wish they just woke ghidora up with the bombs then he woke everyone else up on his own

The movie just wasn't good. Some of the quips were jarringly bad. The character motivations were ridiculous. They forced a family reunion story when they could have shown more monster action. A character dies and they brush over it. The villain disappears in the third act.

When the movie ended, an audience member immediately said "That was so stupid." to which the entire theater chuckled. That guy was right, it was a stupid movie. The fights were fun, but they didn't even show enough of it. Godzilla fans need to hold these modern movies to a higher standard. Instead, we get butthurt defenses of a movie that legitimately wasted its stars and didn't deliver enough action.

>Ghidorah!
>What?
>She said Gonorrhea.

>My God...
>Zilla!

Why does Hollywood think people like these types of characters?

>Villain disappears

Someone didn’t stay for the after credits scene

>everyone chuckled

And then they clapped

>A-at least the monster fights were good
"No!"
The action is dreadful; the monster fights were terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time Godzilla fought Ghidorab, the director unnecessarily shook the near-pitch black frame and zoomed in and out infinitely.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time the camera spazzed out. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Dougherty's mind is so governed by the tropes and cliches that make up the worst Godzilla movies that he has no other style of filmmaking. Later I read a lavish, loving review from some overweight user on Yea Forums. He wrote something to the effect of, "This is a great interpretation, it's like you're watching a big budget Heisei film!" And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch KotM you are, in fact, watching a Heisei movie.

>the villain disappears in the third act
I'm not even sure if he was the villain I thought the twist reveal was that the mom was the villain, but then they have her act like a normal person suddenly and make her retarded sacrifice super emotional as if she's anything other than a mass murdering lunatic. I don't understand why the soldiers didn't just execute her on sight.

>one person dies by his own choosing in a movie with a body count in the millions and they brush over it

Are you autistic?

I did, and that's when I realized the villain had just vanished until the end credits. Lazy writing. I'm a huge G-fan and this movie bummed me out. I did, however, really enjoy the fights and all the nods to the fans. Those were easily the best parts.

I had such a rush of adrenaline seeing Rodan emerge from the volcano, only for it to be stomped out by Dr. Russell's ridiculously dumb quip about Ghidorah "Finding food, a fight, or a f... something more intimate." I mean, what the fuck?

>huge haiku nerds
So you watched Pacific Rim 1 & 2.
I'd ask you a question but we both know you'd Google it.

More monsters = Quantity of monsters
Movie not as good as predecessor = Quantitatively lacking
They added more things and made a worse product.

It's a perfectly cromulent use of the word.

how did you acquire such a vocabulary user

I mean, what were you expecting him to do?

I think it’s fair to assume he’s a chaotic evil villain. And his plan was pretty much working exactly as intended. Why wouldn’t he just bug out to an underground bunker?

I think the word you’re looking for is “Qualitative”

>this guy has had his daughter kidnapped, his wife is a terrorist, and he's watching countless innocent people get massacred and he hesitates to say the word "fuck"
took me right out of the movie

Why didn't Godzilla just challenge Ghidorah to a dance off?

>But muh character development
It's a story about Godzilla fighting the race discrimination of the other kaijus and finding in conventional love with mothra

Sally Hawkins' character dies and the only mourning we see if a brief scene panning up to Serizawa's distraught face, and another shot of him in the background tilting his head back in agony.

>The most onscreen monster action so far
>still not enough

w-wait she died? I didn't even realize

Fuck pitbulls

Attached: mothra the danger baby.gif (640x368, 2.78M)

she was popsicled

she didnt kill a single guy tho!

I want to fuck a giant monster. Or get a shrink ray and shrink it down to my size so that I can fuck it. Maybe even a bit smaller if I'm feeling pedoish. I'd fuck a kid sized Godzilla.

Just because it has the most onscreen action doesn't mean it was enough. Seriously, they still focused too much on a shit-ass family reunion plot. They cut away from a fight between Rodan and Ghidorah. They cut away AGAIN in the final fucking battle to focus on the Russell family trying to save their daughter.

Yup. In the aftermath of Godzilla vs Ghidorah in the arctic, you see a screen that shows the list of deceased people. You see a very quick shot of Hawkins' profile with "DECEASED" next to her name.

>>Ghidorah!

>>She said Gonorrhea
please tell me that's not an actual line from the movie

>I began marking on the back of an envelope every time the camera spazzed out.
How and why did you have an envelope?

I keep my toenails in them.

What I wouldn't give for a fanimation of this

It is. That's not even the worst of it. The gray haired dude has something stupid to say after every line that another character says. The first few times he did it I was was hoping it would just be those few or that he would die off, but then he kept doing it until the very end. The rest of the movie was fine except the family bullshit and Millies character having the ability to go anywhere she needs to and whatever room she enters being empty for her to do whatever she wants.

If it was giant Disney SJW monsters, they'd lap it up.

It is. If you can believe it, it's not even the worst quip in the movie.

>Serizawa pulls out watch that was given to him by his father
>Dr Russell: What time is it?
>Serizawa: ...Time to get a new watch.

Rodan emerges from a volcano
>Rick: A tropical storm is headed our way. There's no way it can move this fast.
>Dr Russell: bla bla bla It has to be Ghidorah. It's either finding food, a fight, or a f... something more intimate."

Serizawa gives this fantastic, poetic monologue to Dr Russell
>Dr Russell: Did you just make that up?
>Serizawa: No, I read it in a fortune cookie once. A really long fortune cookie.

I’m luke warm to the movie myself, but why lie? The grey haired dude was serious throughout with only one cringe line that was in the trailers. That being “oh my god....zillaaa...”

Holy fuck those jokes are Yugioh Abridged tier

This. Most of the time he was just being a bit sarcastic, but not in any overbearing way. i actually liked him.

Same, the “zillaaa” line was intentionally corny but it’s not like it ruined the movie for me

>but why lie?
Are you fucking delusional retard? I enjoyed the movie but you're a dumbass if you think his lines were serious and that "zilla" quip was the only cringe line he had. Did you even see the fucking movie?

oh my god. what fucking hacks did they find to write this shit?

Yeah, I did see the movie, except I wasn’t sitting there autistically analyzing every line to meet some standard. He was fine and wasn’t anymore annoying than a marvel character.

With modern Hollywood standards they're considered master wordsmiths of their craft.

Yeah, Rick was easily one of the best. He had a couple cheesy lines, but they were forgivable. The movie would've been far better if they focused on Rick, Serizawa, Dr. Chen and Jonah.

Attached: 1532665462380.jpg (310x290, 12K)

This. That shit would have ruined a Blade Runner movie, but didn't offend my sensibilities here. In fact the way those lines were delivered felt more like character quirks rather than a joke you're supposed to laugh at.

why does the series kill off the only likable protags? cranston, and then watanabe

The only real problem with the movie is that there's a bit too much quipping in it, but I blame that as a product of the time more than anything. The humans and their plot are better than 2014, the monsters show up and fight more in scenes that are better lit and it genuinely feels like Legendary listened to the fans and not the critics in making this film. It's not trying to be something more than a labor of love and it shows.

Watanabe at least got a Kino death. Cranston just died and never mentioned again.

I shit my pants listening to the mothra theme

Killing Cranston was ballsy but the way they handled it was criminal.

This.

Yeah, a death lifted directly from the first movie. The intent was inverted but it was identical otherwise.

I shit my pants.

>What is this place? It looks ancient. Roman? Greek?
>This place is way before any of that.
>Wow.. That's incredible... Alright let's nuke this shit and get out of here!

TLJ is the biggest cinematic flop of the decade, bar none.

I honestly don't care about the human plot it could have just been a villian who wants to wake up monsters because fuck you that's why and as long as the monster fights are good and aren't only like 10 total mins of screen time in an 1 1/2 movie (I believe 2014 1hr 1/2 could be wrong) it is good a good Godzilla movie this one could have focused a little less on the people but over all 8/10

They wasted such a fantastic actor by giving him THE MOST cliche archetype. Granted, Dance absolutely killed it in this movie and gave a great performance, but the substance of his character was flat.

Apparently this movie was originally over 3 hours long. Perhaps we get a much more fleshed out story in that missing hour. The movie also clearly feels chopped down, with many scenes having characters in the middle of an action before cutting to them in a completely different part of the room in a completely different pose.

>Gets salty weebs crying and complaining everyday for the rest of their lives that other people found the movie disappointing. Cry more.
Do you realize how bitter you sound? The only salty one here is (You).

Who cares less focus on that means more potential focus on monsters

Here's a major mistake that most will miss

>Says this is older than any civilization
>reveals cave art and hieroglyphics with "Gojira" written in modern Japanese katakana

Has anybody seen a 4DX showing? worth it? Does it also have an IMAX screen for it, or is it mutually exclusive?

theater near me has some, i'm curious if I should see it in Imax or 4DX 3d.

I also know there's RPX, how does it compare to those two? there's not an RPX showing near me though so i'd need to travel if I were to see it.

Not gonna lie, I really didn't like Alita. The story was just so bad and Alita was way too Overpowered

Eh, if you just want monster action it delivers if you can bare the terrible human scenes. I'd suggest seeing it in theaters though if only because the monster shit is that good.

Unless your looking for some gay chick flick that focuses too much on the humans your in for a good time the whole family reunion shit wasn't necessary but overall good movie to see Kajuis fight

Watch it yourself and decided

Go see it. Despite all the flaws, I still had a really fun experience. You have to ignore the human aspect, which is unfortunately most of the film, but it didn't hinder my experience in the theater itself. The monster fights were a majestic spectacle to behold. If you're a fan of the original series, you'll LOVE what they managed to include.

they use the original 1954 and showa roars

no, Yea Forums is just propping this movie up because they want to counter capeshit, if this movie had a disney logo on it they'd be shitting all over it. but i don't think any review has said the actual monster fights are disappointing, so if that's all you're interested in then it's worth it.

No, you're supposed to go see it. Take some friends. Have a good time. Enjoy dinner and a show.

>Literally every review on youtube says the movie is shit.
Not only should you not believe YouTube "reviewers", I've hardly seen any reviews genuinely shitting on the movie. They say it has flaws, but it's a good film all around.

>90% audience score

Right right right

About half of them give it a overwhelmingly positive review. So idk what you’re talking about

Does anyone have that screen cap of Skull Island and Monarch having a mech on it?

Agreed. It is definitely not as bad as the critics say. I honestly think they're trying to flex their wit and flaunt their pretentious tastes. KOTM has its flaws but was nevertheless a fun ride.

It was weird that Rodan helped Godzilla just because he also happened to have a totally unrelated friend also named Mothra.

my fucking sides

No, the quality isn't in question in this context. The quantity is affecting the quality. I've already established that I did not like it and am citing the quantity as the problem. Ever hear the phrase "quality over quantity?" In this case, they added more quantity, but nothing to quality. By producing an equally bad product while simultaneously adding more to the product they have QUANTITATIVELY made a worse movie. Even if it is only QUALITATIVELY "about the same."

Gray haired dude was worse than that nostalgic fan from Jurassic World. Same character, pretty much.

>many American blockbuster cliches in it
This, unfortunately. Wish it were a bit more restrained in that regard.

In Antarctica, Mark is running behind her and she gets eaten by one of Ghidorah's heads.

Stop being a contrarian on the internet for attention. No one cares about your opinions on here you fag

Serizawa's line about the watch has more meaning than that and you know it. The others are indeed bad.
