Nothing Star Wars can excite me knowing that there will never be another Knights of the Old Republic 2. No Disney Star Wars property will ever touch the darkness, nuance, horror, depth and originality that that game provided, and certainly not from the director of Indiana Jones 5: Depression of the Lost Youth. At best it can only... echo it, if you will.

I don't think they still feel love for Indy 5 after this:

 
And especially not after this:

If (and that's a big if) Disney decides to continue with the project, there's a huge chance Mangold won't remain onboard and they'll just hire some other sucker director.
 
Also, Mangold has a Swamp Thing movie for DC, which Gunn described as a "passion project" for him. So, which one of these two career-killing franchises he will embark: Star Wars or DC?

I have no idea how that audience score is 88%
 
After a rewatch of Dial everything was see through.

@Jurassic Shark spent a whole weekend creating numerous accounts at Rotten Tomatoes to give a high score to Indy 5 
 
As for the box office, I still remember a year ago when some people thought Dial would be the Top Gun: Maverick of 2023 

To get this right: they made a Star Wars sequel trilogy, gave them to different directors, which turned out to be a disaster, and now they're making a new trilogy of movies, give them to different directors, and go "it'll be fine".
 
I predict none of these will be made.

I believe the film version/insert wasn't fully used as was written. This is my edit which contains a leak or a mockup, I don't remember where it came from, and I did have to edit it to match the film. For some reason it won't copy at a specific timestamp, but if you start at 0:27 you can hear what I'm referring to.
 
 

Gonna go with my two favorites:
 
Crystal Skull trailer #2.  the syncing of the 'rocket sled timer' with that fanfare part of the Raiders March, still get chills to this day.  the hype for that movie back then was palpable.
 
 
 
and of course, War Horse.  i will still tear up to that theme
 
 
 
War Horse crushes me, man 

Couple other notes....
 
Godzilla 2014's opening titles sequence still haven't been matched
 
KOTM's official trailer might be the greatest trailer of all time
 

every time this guy opened his mouth....
 
 

 
 
 
i fully understand the frustration of the cutaways....but the battles felt so much more real and grounded when they were actually happening.
 
The way Edwards filmed them, gave it so much more reality.  And that's what I like about Godzilla in the first place.... is that it's a spawn of our own creation/reality, nukes.
 
the kiss of death at the end is the payoff to all the cutaways in my opinion.

Godzilla 2014 is the best Godzilla movie ever made (excluding the original)

Listening to Desplat's G14. It's really good, isn't it?

I can get hating Godzilla 2014 and KotM to various degrees. Or loving both of them. I don't see how G14 and GvK are loved by the critics and KotM is hated.
 
Me? G14 was OK. And KotM was amazing.

I liked Brown in that one (but not in GvK) and I liked Whitford. Oh and Charles Dance is the best bad guy.

I remember liking '14 well enough at the time, maybe just because it was a big improvement on the '98 attempt and its T-zilla. But I haven't felt a need to rewatch it since.
 
Saw KOTM once. Lots of bang for your buck, but again, no desire for a second viewing.
 
Enjoyed Skull Island. As Edmilson said, the visuals are stellar, and the Vietnam angle was different. Actually liked it enough to pick it up for $10 in a DVD bargain bin. lol
 
I enjoyed GvK for the novelty of seeing them collide for the first time since '62. As a fan of both since I was a wee one, it was a kind of event, and it didn't disappoint for me.
 
I don't know how I feel about them being a tag team/allies for this new one... I may catch it on 'Cheapie Tuesday.'

Horrible character indeed with stupid Marvel-esque quips that were incredibly annoying. I was waiting the entire movie for Godzilla to eat him 
 
I agree that, when you can actually see Godzilla battling the MUTOs in San Francisco it's actually very exciting, especially when the big G uses his atomic breath to rip the MUTO's head off 
 
But Aaron Taylor Johnson's character is probably one of the blandest protagonists of a blockbuster movie in recent years. Tom Hiddleston was much more engaging and fun in K:SI.

These movies are enjoyable and frustrating to different degrees.
 
With G14 I appreciate that they were trying for a grim and realistic tone, but the constant cutting off the kaiju scenes that even became a meme on social media to cut to stupid human drama was more frustrating than tantalizing. I think they were trying to do a Jaws kinda thing, but Gareth Edwards is not Steven Spielberg. The score by Alexandre Desplat is amazing, an unusual but inspired choice of composer by Edwards.
 
Skull Island is beautifully shot, has great CGI and I like that the action is set in a tropical jungle during the Vietnam war instead of a metropolis during night time like most of the other movies, it gives a different vibe. The kaiju scenes were a bit frustrating though, particularly the final battle which could've been more memorable. Decent Henry Jackman score.
 
KOTM tried to go for the same dark & epic angle of the 2014, but the movie is way less smart than it thinks it is. Some beautiful shots though by Lawrence Sher, and surprisingly you can understand and see the action even though the battles are set at night. Great Bear McCreary score.
 
GvK is dumb fun, but way more dumb than fun lol. Awful characters and dialogue, serviceable action scenes and a bad score (I guess JXL was way more focused in Zack Snyder Justice League).
 
Haven't seen GxK yet, I'll wait for streaming. 

both American and Japanese.
 
Godzilla 2014 struck a chord with me.
 
 
 
the actors.  there was like a million.  and i didn't care for a single one of them.

It's the day after TV theme song day.

"What a vivid imagination."
