gkgyver 1,646 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I watched Shin Godzilla for the first time yesterday. I think it's really a rather fantastic movie. Leave it to the Japanese to do it right. The concept of the film is very basic, which is where its ingenuity lies, and the special effects are awesome. The wide shots of Godzilla in Tokyo look eerily realistic. At about 2 hours runtime, however, it could easily be 15-20 minutes shorter. The scenes with Godzilla are perfect, but the offender is the terrible and borderline absurd pseudo-political gibberish. Especially in the last 30 minutes, it drags the film down to near unwatchable depths, putting the worst pseudo-intellectual dialogues of the Heisei era to shame. General rule of thumb: don't produce a Godzilla movie with him as the main antagonist, with as much as 20 minutes of straight, uninterrupted terrible acting. Especially when you make the Japanese premier minister and his staff out to be utter buffoons. "Sir, this gigantic, hostile, unknown creature is annihilating our capital in record time, you may want to authorize the military to kill it." "But it may cause the creature to get aggressive!" "Sir, it's mowing down the city already!" "We can't have the military operate in the city, civilians may get hurt!" "Sir, they are being MOWED DOWN AS WE SPEAK!" "You want me to decide NOW? I need a good night's sleep over this!" "You're a worthless piece of trash, give us the okay now!" "I understand ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, especially in light of the tsunami and Fukushima disasters. The bit that made me laugh about that whole exchange was the irony of 'civilians must not receive fire' - because Godzilla pretty much killed those two people as it fled back to the ocean anyway.

Giftheck 921 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Today was Tokyo Comic-Con and the designs for Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra and Godzilla's updated design were revealed. Very little new footage was shown. There was no new trailer, but a new teaser consisting of random shots inserted into that Millie Bobbie Brown teaser from months back (one such shot shows Monarch recovered the Female MUTO's head and are storing it somewhere). Ghidorah and Rodan appear pretty faithful while Mothra is quite a departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 This universe has already established Godzilla as a benevolent being, just short of friendly and cuddly.
