re: The most recent Godzilla movie is absolute trash.

Do you want to fight? Ghidorah was awesome

Well, I don't know what to tell you. That movie was straight garbage. It basically wasn't even anything close to anything resembling a Godzilla movie.

Why is he standing up in the deepest part of the ocean when the sub surfaces?

Haha, you’re right! Not only is this movie boring, that kind of adds a stupid element to it. In that whole act, they went down to the earths core so that they could bring him back to life. And suddenly he stands up in the exact spot? That doesn’t make any sense

Yes it does.

It's a Hollywood thing, Pacific rim the Jaeger standing same in both Hong Kong's bay and deep enough to hide Knifehead from Gypsy Danger until it's too late.

Assume radioactive buoyancy and G-Cell swim bladder and move on.

Lol a "real" Godzilla movie. The "dumb" blockbuster movies that come out these days don't aspire to be, and on the whole are not, half as entertaining as Emerich's Godzilla. If that exact same movie came out today with better CGI, it would garner mildly positive reviews from critics and lauded by general audiences.

The movie is a victim of it's own hugeness- everyone saw it, but most remember it from the marketing, which massive.

It's like Armageddon and Independence Day- fun movies with stakes, humor, and popcorn performances from ensemble casta. Big gaudy spectacles slathered in the varnish of'splosions and huge shite terrorizing smaller shite.

Every kid of the era had their tits rocked when they first saw Godzilla 98- or Independence Day, Armageddon, Bad Boys or any of those absurdly huge summer movies... Those kids are adults with internet access now. Some of them kept appreciating the awesome shite of their youth even despite becoming aware of certain juvenile elements. They remember their innocence and hold on to that part of them.
Many more former imagination-owners surrendered the ability to appreciate things for what they were, and outsourced their opinions, particularly regarding matters of media and society, to groupthink hubs such as Twitter and half-witted list generators such as BuzzFeed.

Anyone who saw Godzilla as a kid, or any movie for that matter, and genuinely enjoyed it, and if you were a kid odds are high that you enjoyed the shite out of Godzilla- those among that number, who would deny the joy that a movie once gave to them, have been consumed by a bitter spirit- for lack of authentic character traits, they spend their entire lives maintaining faux-personalities characterized chiefly by sneering derision and a fear of quietude rooted in a virile disinterest for self-reflection

Publishers such as the Red Letter Media guys get a pass, as they are the source of social memes regarding movie opinions.

Another example is Con Air- just a crazy arse movie that aspires to be nothing more. It's hilariously lampooned, but people who treat it as a purely arse movie have either never seen it, or are receiving themselves.


Godzilla '98 > Every attempt to make a Godzilla or King Kong movie since

I'm confused and intrigued by that gif.
