I just woke up, but I guess I'll do it now anyways.

NOTE: this was only my second movie featuring kaiju(s) and it'd be unfair to compare a 1985 movie to a 2013 movie, so my review might not be really good since I'm not the biggest kaiju movie watcher. :laughga:

Overall, I did not really like it a whole lot... like in all honesty, the movie lost me around the 50 minutes mark. Dunno how I managed to finish it.

When I started watching it, I actually liked it (boat scenes). It was intriguing and I did not expect to see a big disgusting sea louse (the way it moved was kind of hilarious, but welcome to the 80's lmao). :party:

Then, there's the story (once they get back). It was tolerable at first, but it became more and more boring by the minute. A lot of it was so predictable and can we just talk about the actors for a minute? :later: Like the one who played Naoko... good lord. I mean, the character she had to play was generic as hell, but she sure did not try to make it interesting. :emma: I could rant about her for a while, but let's move on.

When we finally got some good interaction with Godzilla, I was so disappointed. I can deal with his sometimes awkward movements, but his face! Ugh. His eyes were SO derpy and his lips were doing some weird movements at times... it kind of ruined it for me.

The discussions with the Soviet Union & United States of 'Murica... please no, make it stop. :awkney:

 

Anyway... I wished the movie would have used the sea louse more and, honestly, the movie would have been much better if it were cut down to max 60 minutes. There are SO many useless boring scenes.

And this Godzilla sucked, which is really really bad considered the movie is named Godzilla...

I Liked the destruction

I didn't like Godzilla's costume and his eyes. i also thought that he looked weird.

 

And why didn't wee see more of that creature on the boat?

I know! she seemed like a robot and showed so little emotion. Like when she finds out her brother is still alive, there is barely a reaction. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the other actors.

I found Goro to be the best one from them by far. I feel like he really tried in his role and I enjoyed it.

I mean most of them were not that terrible, but decent isn't what you should aim for in a movie.

I downloaded all 29 or so movies and watched Gojira (1954) and Mothra vs. Godzilla, out of the first 4 I could only finish those two probably because they had a serious tone.

Godzilla Vs. Mothra was good. Battra has a pretty cool design

It's ok if you don't see it this weekend, no pressure. I guess when we talk about it we can use spoilers so you don't read what we say.

love the your set btw, Conchita is amazing.

Kaiju movies are definitely an acquired taste. Some people get into them, and others just don't for whatever reason.
