Well what is the official /tv/ opinion of this monster kino?

>>84318786

yes

>>84318786
pusy

terrible

Solid visuals
Good action
Interesting characters (except for the two leads)
A general step up from Godzilla '14

>>84320080

>>84320454
That your comment was stupid.

>>84320255
>Interesting characters
no

Simply put, boring. In the olden days when we hadn't seen everything yet, a giant ape was exciting and special enough to carry a movie alone. Sadly that's not the case anymore. Action without without emotional weight is meaningless

Imagine trying to turn Lovecraftian stories into movies. They relied on our fear of unknown and feeling small in the vast universe, yet not believing in god is pretty normal these days and we KNOW how insignificant we are - it's just not a big deal anymore. What has worked before doesn't quite work the same way anymore

Visuals were decent though, but the movie just ultimately couldn't inspire a single fuck at any point of the course

>>84320399
Has more monster battles.
Better character development.
More appropriate tone for a Kaiju film.

It is anon. Godzilla was shit besides Cranston and the monster battles.

The soldier dude and his family was shit and that was like 90% of the movie.

>>84320747
Why does anyone need to give a rebuttal to the fact Skull Island was a pretty mediocre movie that was further brought down by its awful characters and jarring monster fights?

>>84320792
thematically it's far more interesting; the exploration of powerless people and how they react to cosmic entities was way cooler than just an action fest which we've seen a million times. it's hardly straub-huillet but the exploration of gods and the awe and worry they inspire is rarely handled this well. plus the setpiece at the end was excellent.

Pretty medicore overall, just like Godzilla.
I'm still very hyped for the future films as they are obviously going to be much better.

>>84320763
>Most of them in Skull Island sucked and were filler.
I highly disagree the added flavor to the film and most of the action scenes had great little moments that made the film. The octopus and spider fights may have not added to the plot but it's what the film is about, giant monsters. The opening helicopter fight and final skull crawler fight were great. Maybe not as good as the final fight in Godzilla, but like i said there was more of them.
>Not even worth more then a one-liner response for how stupid this is.
And yet you used three lines.
>Non-Godzilla movie being labeled "Kaiju" film
So King Kong Escapes isn't kaiju? Gamera isn't Kaiju?
>>84320775
I didn't say it had to be dumb just that the adventurous tone is more suited to the genre than brooding and dark seriousness.

All the Kong stuff is great. I liked the other creatures on the island too, they were pretty cool.

I unironically liked it desptie being too on-the-nose with some stuff, such as music. But most of the characters were awesome, especially Jackson's and that WW2 joker. The fights were excellently directed, with no 16 cuts per second. All the monsters looked doozy, I just wish the final skullcrawler looked slighly different than the other ones except for in size.

>>84318786

If the director of Godzilla 2 changes his design drastically like he is hinting at on twitter then I will not be pleased

Godzilla is also a 7/10, but is a better film. Sure, it has his problems and the main character could have been more interesting, but the pacing is pretty good and the fight scenes were geniunely awesome despite the fact that they were during the night, you can say that the constant action cutting is a cockblock but I like how it everything got justified at the end.

I guess I'll ask this here.
After Godzilla King of Monsters would you guys rather see them keep adapting older kaijus or create more original kaiju?
Personally I found the MUTOs refreshing and would like new monsters.

>>84334461
I'd love for G and Kong to beat down an all new kaiju, but I would also love to see them beat down a classic heavy hitter

>>84318786
It's complete shit and y'all gotta be braindead to laud it like you do.
Kong design is ugly (yeah, I know it's his original 1933 design and he's supposed to be a teenager in this, still ugly).
Every character was uninteresting except for John C. Reilly. Even Samuel L. Jackson was boring in this.
Visually they just ripped off Apocalypse Now.

>>84334528
I would love if Godzilla just straight up kills Kong. It could shift the films from Godzilla as a hero to Godzilla as a villain

>>84330966
Not even the same thing. The complaints are legitimate. Godzilla is the title character and he is barely in the movie. You could completely remove him from the story and little would change. And the human characters are garbage. Everyone interesting in the film is gone/irrelevant by the second act and the protagonist has no charisma.

>>84337051
Nah, m8. That better describes the "G14 is just like the japanese movies" crowd. Mothra vs Godzilla, Monster Zero, GMK, Shin Godzilla, and several others have interesting characters that hold your attention. The Heisei films have the lesser casts.

>>84337523

The only thing in Shin Godzilla that held my attention was all the text on the screen. Don't even remember a single character's name from that overrated film.

>>84338187
This

The only place I see people praise the characters is here on 4chan, and even then most of them cannot name more than one of the characters, news flash: If you struggle to remember a character's name, it's most likely not a good character

Literally everyone else everywhere else says the characters were easily the worst part of the movie and were bland and uninteresting

The text on screen was incredible lazy and pissed me off, just introduce the characters normally for Christ's sake, was Anno just being lazy? Because he has handled large casts well in the past

Kaijukino Tier:
Gojira
Godzilla VS Biollante
Godzilla 1984
Mothra VS Godzilla
Godzilla 2014
King Kong 1933

That line perfectly describes G14. 2/3 of the film was about a non-character making nonsensical decisions.

>>84322117
He's still growing in this movie and it takes place like 50 years or more before he's going to fight Godzilla. He also has some pretty good fighting skills and can improvise in a fight; he kills (with some minor assistance) the monster that killed his entire family so he's obviously an alpha of his species.

Look, Shin Godzilla has the better cast. It features people that can actually hold your attention as you watch them interact with one another and find solutions for the problems they are facing. Are you saying that characters have to be actively involved in an "exciting" situation for a film not to be "filler"? So I'm assuming you hold a similar disdain for films such as Doctor Strangelove and 12 Angry Men? I'm not saying Shin Godzilla has amazing characters, though they're definitely likable and effectively serve their purposes.

ATJ has no screen presence and his "character" is the only one that matters after Cranston's character dies. He has nothing interesting to say and has no one to bounce off of. G14's only redeeming factor is its cinematography.

>>84339068
>there's no way they'll let an American monster get killed by a nip monster
it's not about that, it would be like Iron Man Killing Cap in phase one

>Shin's cast
>likeable
>entertaining

One of these things is not like the other one, one of these things just doesn't belong

Thought it was a decent movie. Good amounts of action (the CGI was definitely passable), nice soundtrack and although the human characters were slightly underwhelming (looking at you Hiddlestone and Larson) it didn't detract too much away from the main focus of the movie - the monsters.

I have no idea why this film gets rated so low on IMDB. I swear unless it's capeshit, reviewers seem to absolutely skewer big budget action movies. Frustrating as hell but I guess at least both Kong and Godzilla took in a fair amount at the box office so we should get sequel or two.

I just wonder how they'll get Godzilla and Kong to face off. Not only is the size difference an issue but they both seem to be good guys in all of this. Maybe they'll turn into a kaiju-fighting duo, working together to protect humans from the threat of the destruction.

>>84339527

I think it was good as a serviciable component for something bigger, a lot of the set pieces didn't really sell me on the mythic/lore aspect of the story. But the action was fun, although I will say that the deaths were pretty out of place and a bit too gruesome for what the film was going for.


I still feel like the Jackson King Kong is a proper epic in terms of storytelling and overall set design, I really did feel like the island was a mythical place that was separate from everything else. Kong:Skull Island did a lesser job at that, it wasn't as convincing.

>>84341617

I could see them explaining Mothra as one of the native Japanese people's deity, it's just worshiped because of japanese lore. I think it will be easy to pass that.

But King Ghidora is a whole other situation, out of all the beasts that exist in the monsterverse so far, King Ghidora is the only one that isn't an extrapolation of an already existing animal. Because it has 3 heads, there is the implication of genetic manipulation, they can't really avoid the alien aspect of it (Aliens created it to conquer Earth).

>>84318786

Edwards knows how to frame and film scale. There were quite a few good moments in Godzilla where the sheer immensity of the kaiju is demonstrated through the sound and visuals. I also appreciated the move from Godzilla representing nuclear devastation to representing the sheer unstoppable force of nature. The absurdity of giant monsters is respected but they still manage to make both the MUTOs and Godzilla formidable characters.

Kong is a different kind of movie. It's pulpy and gratuitous, and much lighter in tone because it's a much smaller story in scale.

The real challenge will be bridging the differences in cosmic and actiony theme and making a decent crossover movie.

From a scale of 1 to 10 how bad do you think G's atomic breath is going to fuck Kong up?

There should have been a duality between Serizawa and Cranston as scientists. The first should have argued for the protection and conservation of Godzilla in his fight against the MUTOs, and the second should have argued to have Godzilla treated as another kaiju to kill. Cranston would have been fueled by a thirst for revenge following the death of his wife (or family?). By the end of the film, he could have learned to forgive Godzilla, or maybe refused to learn and serve as something of a villain for future movies.

If we keep Kickass, then he can still be a soldier (the HALO jump scene is probably the best scene in the film), because we still get eyes on the ground that way. By the end of the film, he gets some closure with his dad (the whole arc is just abruptly closed 1/4 of the way into the film).

This way, we get all kinds of relationships which are much more interesting than what we got. Themes of family, fatherhood, responsibility, nature, forgiveness etc etc.

I adored the shit out the movie and I like your idea more

Why would Cranston need to forgive Godzilla, Godzilla literally did nothing to him, in fact Cranston would probably love him for killing the MUTOS

Why not both?

...why?

I'd love some more original creatures. I liked the MUTOs and their designs for the most part. I'd like to see a giant monster that didn't revolve around a birthing cycle though. Also, they didn't seem to be very parasitic, despite claims that they were. They seem to feed on radiation, assumedly the same way Godzilla does.

The backstory of the MUTOS is that both them and the Godzillas were a the top of the ecosystem and would hunt each other all the time, Godzillas would win fights with one or two MUTOS every single time, but sometimes the MUTOS would kill a Godzilla using a large pack, they would then lay their eggs into the radioactive carcass to grow, hence the spores inside the Godzilla skeleton at the beginning.

Because something changing their look drastically for no real reason at all with no explanation makes literally no sense in a universe that is trying to be as realistic as possible

He wouldn't draw a distinction. Godzilla may not have killed his wife, but he still represents the sheer elemental fury that has the capability to destroy countless other families. This much is clear just from the devastation Godzilla absent mindedly leaves in his wake.
In his eyes, Serizawa would be placing all of his and the rest of humanity's faith in the hands of an unpredictable walking apocalypse. Trying to steer an animal and hoping that it wanders in the direction you want it to, while it still inevitably kills hundreds, and ruins thousands of more lives. How could anyone support such a dangerous option?

That is the position I would want Cranston's character to take.

a movie finally got cgi action right

I can't fucking believe it

Kill Kickass and have Cranston team up with Serizawa. Although, there needs to be some sort of mystery left. Once the MUTO appears the film kind of dies.

Godzilla should have made his appearance first. Let him battle the American military. Cranston mistakenly believes that Godzilla is responsible for his wife/son's death and abandons his obsessive research. However, Serizawa somehow gets his hands on Cranston's notes and realizes that there is something else out there. And that something is why Godzilla has suddenly reappeared. Cranston joins forces with him because he wants closure. This way Godzilla is the actual focus of the movie.

One of the things that doing this might avoid is having Serizawa's ((foil)) or confidant be that boring General character who contributed little besides 'we can't take that risk', which in this scenario, Cranston could probably orate much more convincingly.

Primates are much, much smarter than reptiles.

G14 actually works as a pretty nice contrast to Shin in one way.

Shin Godzilla has no kaiju. Only Godzilla. As far as the film goes, Godzilla is a freak. A terrifying but unique organism that threatens to end the world by himself (and may still, judging from that end shot).

G14 immediately depicts giant monsters not as individuals, but as a stratum of biology. A natural, albeit ancient and absurd development which undermines everything we thought we knew about biology. They're called gods, because they may as well be walking earthquakes. Tsunamis, flooding, disasters of all kinds.

war for the planet apes is looking good

I thought it was kind of lame. I liked Jackson's Kong better.
