[Gilthwixt]

so should i go and see it???

I enjoyed it, but only because the giant monster stuff was amazing. The human elements were kind of distracting and poorly written.

[spoiler]The quality of acting takes a dive pretty early on, too...[/spoiler]

from a narrative standpoint, i thought the human element was alright, and was in many ways what the transformers movies should have been

[spoiler]the problem with the human element is that they are virtually worthless and will not stop fucking themselves over[/spoiler]

my problem with pacific rim at was that at one point i wished all the human characters would just go away so i could watch more monsters fighting

but yeh this sounds ok to me, ill probably go see reptar returns sometime this week then

The only parts I liked about Pacific Rim were the human elements, actually. The best part about my viewing of Godzilla was, when Ken Watanabe was explaining his theories about the titular creature, and says "We call him... Godzilla," in this really dramatic tone, this girl in the back of the audience gasped really loudly. That made my week.

Everyone in the theatre started snickering. I know it's the original name in Japan, but it was hard not to smile hearing him say Gojira.

I didn't even notice he said the original pronunciation.

Also yeah the original 1954 Honda version is still the only version worth watching. The ticket-taker where I saw it had such a hard on for the SFX he was like "Yeah the director really did his research the monster looks amazing it's not just some guy in a suit," and I was like gee show some respect but I didn't actually say that because I was too scared.

i liked the film. i did not really give a shit about the human characters except for bryan cranston and ken watanabe's character, but it didn't bother me too much because they didn't spend a lot of time showing mc on the phone with his crying wife and useless son, much unlike many disaster films that completely fail at creating empathy for some generic american family (world war z comes to mind, my god that movie pissed me off). but they killed bryan cranston off early and ken didn't get a whole lot of screentime, and the writing was average, so that was probably the weakest part of the movie.

the major complaint i keep hearing is that godzilla isn't in the movie enough, or that it took too long for him to show up. which is funny because modern audiences get their faces stuffed with constant headache-inducing action in an era where filmmakers like james cameron and michael bay are shoving hours of mindless drivel and cgi down our throats. and even though those films are financial successes, a majority of audiences complain about action being overdone to the point where it becomes boring. a great recent example of this is man of steel. the entire 3rd act of the film is superman fighting, and halfway through it you just don't give a shit anymore and want it to be over. the fight - and entire movie - was spoiled because of how long it went on.


maybe they teased godzilla a little too much, but i think he got the perfect amount of screentime. it does leave you wanting more, and really it should. every moment that he was on screen was done masterfully in every element. you could tell the creators have a lot of respect for godzilla. i got a kick out of how they ended it as well.

i look forward to the sequels Edwards wants to make. he has been very receptive to the fans and treats the genre with an immense amount of respect. i think he did an excellent job on this film. it easily ranks amongst one of the best godzilla films, and does everything right that the 1998 american godzilla did wrong.
