    I finally saw this movie, and I thought it was terrible!  I rolled my eyes at lines or scenes 5 times after I actually started counting how many eye roll moments I experienced. Earlier in this thread, I was skeptical about the movie after the first trailer because it sounded like it was going to be a global warming lecture, and I am pleased to say it was NOT.  Sadly, the actual story just alternated between nonsensical and cringe.  For example the interaction early on with the Monarch team and Godzilla on that oil rig/Monarch base was completely nonsensical, and the very end of the scene with Godzilla looking into the eyes of the male protagonist was soooo cringe.  Godzilla dating Mothra or WTFever they were trying to say their special relationship was... was dumb as fuck.  I avoid the hell out of spoilers, so my only real hint that it wasn't that great was that it seemed to only be in the theaters for a pretty short time, I've since seen it was rated on average about a 6/10.  That seems about right for me.


    While I thought the plot and story was remarkably dumb, I could forgiven all of that if the monster fights were more frequent and cooler.  Even when there were monster fights, they weren't that great.   I think one scene kind of summed up the entire movie for me:

      Hide contents

     

     When all the other titans converge on Godzilla at the very end, and we don't get an amazing fight, we watch them fucking curtsey... What. The. Fuck.

     

    I am laughably triggered by how bad this movie was.  I made popcorn, used my home theater which I rarely turn on and was so excited to watch it.  I think it was less than 5 minutes in when I vocalized my thought of "Oh no." out loud in an empty room because something happened that was so hokey that I knew I was in for a bad ride.

     

    I really hope this didn't end the possibility of a new King Kong Vs. Godzilla.   Hopefully with a different director and writer, though.

    I can't tell if you're being serious or not. How does one become "laughably triggered"? 

     

    A new King Kong v.s. Godzilla has already been filmed and is now in post production. It's release date is March 13th 2020.

    As Axl once said at the end of Back Off Bitch: “I think it’s one of those things each person needs to interpret in their own special way.”

    I thought that was Slash

    can you guys please stop with this stuff 'Iz wanted it to be like 1987.  Iz didn't want to be in a big touring band'...

    I mean for fuck sake... Izzy SAID 'THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SPLIT THE LOOT EQUALLY'!

    If he wanted to be in 1987 or did not want to be in a big touring band he would have said 'I am ok with small share', 'I am not interested in being in a touring band'.  MAN!

    it is ok to misread between the lines, but not to be able to read what is straight there...

    Sometimes people like their own fan fiction better.

    Pretty much this.

    I'm kinda shocked by the "hate" this film is getting. Is it perfect? No. But name me a BETTER Godzilla film other than perhaps the 1954 original (although if I'm honest I like this new one more). Could it be better? Yes. But I enjoyed the crap out of this movie. Best movie I've seen in a while (probably since Infinity War). MUCH better than Endgame imo.

    I could name lots but it's all personal preference.

    Ok - reading all these posts about the VMAs has me thinking back to Las Vegas December 31, 2000. This was a fun night. Backing up a little here, I had decided to fly to Las Vegas on my own as a 22 year old to see the return of Axl Rose. I was (and still am) a huge GNR fan at the time and spent a lot of my time on the Guns N Roses newsgroup (who remembers newsgroups?)

    I remember that! Remember that idiot who said that Axl was calling the album "Sugar Fix" and everyone bought it?

    That first trailer?  it's a 2 minute lecture on humans ruining the environment, and how the only way to save earth is to find and release the titans.  Toward the end of the trailer, we see Godzilla shooting fire breath into the smog/clouds to let the sunlight in.

     

    It's an opinion thing, imo, reversing global warming by releasing a bunch of giant monsters to blow away the bad stuff is dumb.

    The part's in the middle of the trailer. Also, what makes you think THAT is what was going on?

    Agreed, lol.

    One of the best things Toho did was create a new monster called Zilla, and have Godzilla mop the floor with it, lol.

    Same monster as in the 98 one but Sony owns the rights to that character as "Godzilla" so Toho changed the name.
