I finally watched it the other night and I agree. I didn't even watch the end. It's completely scatterbrained and has no real narrative. Why they thought the aging slut from The Departed would be a great main character, I have no idea, but they didn't have to double down with Eleven's pointless, mood swing driven character.

King Kong was even dumber, and the whole "monster'verse" thing is a huge waste of time.

Foreigner-controlled summer blockbusters are the worst.

I got what I wanted ever since Godzilla became about the Kaiju fights.

Big monsters beating on each other.

Cities laid to waste.

Cheesy humans.

MAD SCIENCE!

Nah, it's not that bad. It's a Godzilla vs. Ghidorah movie, for crying out loud. Not The Godfather.

Have these people ever seen a Godzilla, King Kong or Kaiju movie before? Kong Skull Island was great. Pacific Rim was really good. Godzilla 2014 was okayish. Besides that, they are all pretty terrible.

This movie had giant monsters, from the beginning until the end fighting and causing chaos and some people were there too. You can expect much more from a kaiju movie. If you are, you will be disappointed.

Godzilla KOTM was one of the best Godzilla’s ever made IMO. Just the fact that Godzilla was around for most of the movie made it better than other Godzilla movies.

I watched it last night and I couldn't agree more. I made about 2/3 of the way through and shut it off. There was way too much pandering to check certain boxes with various groups, poorly written characters, the monsters were not enough to carry this piece of garbage. I would have rather watched an hour and a half of monsters just destroying shite.

Can you list these, please?

Sadly I've kinda turned into someone who notices shite like this now, (especially liberal garbage) but I saw nothing of the sort in this movie. Was it the fact that the "Save the Earth" people were the villains? I'm drawing a blank here.

It's a Godzilla movie. If you didnt like this you just dont like Godzilla.

I stopped paying close attention after about the first 10 minutes, so excuse me if any of these are wrong

1. why were there Chinese nationals working within the US military
2. bald black woman (stole it from Black Panther I guess) that's smarter than anyone else
3. squirmy little white guy that seemed too stupid to tie his own shoes, much less work as a scientist.
4. the bad guy is, of course, an old white dude

I could go on, but I've already started forgetting that piece of steaming horse manure.

seems to me, based on your repeated posting of the same drivel, that you just go looking for any sort of pandering in every movie released.

why watch movies - you clearly cannot enjoy them much - i mean based on the level of bitching you make about seemingly all of them.

The constant placement of Chinese nationals in American movies has gone way over the top. I know why they do it, but it's still annoying, Hopefully we'll go to war with them soon so we can put a stop to it.

There's been a lot of bad takes on this board, but this is by far the worst

I'm way too curious. Why do they do it?

So they will sell in China, I'd imagine.

"Oh no... a Chinese actor played the part of twins in a Godzilla movie. The absolute horror. Sure will be glad when we go to war to stop that nonsense."

2014 or KOTM?

KOTM was great. 2014 was decent, not great.
