Re: Godzilla is a B movie monster.

The missing thing being the one thing most of the audience were paying for. Most of us were not there for the arthouse element, which the director put front and center. If they'd removed that and focused on the camp and the monster battles, there would be a lot less complaining about the movie.

Yeah, I don't really understand the complaints that it wasn't a good movie because Godzilla wasn't in it enough. It doesn't matter how many minutes of runtime Godzilla occupies, it matters what you do with the material.

That scene in the plane was one of many moments that stood out as amazingly well-done tension. It was a great monster/horror movie, which is what the original Godzilla was conceived as. I just can't see how anyone would rather have Japanese dudes doing karate in monster suits (or, God help us, whatever Hollywood's CGI interpretation of that would be).

Yeah the Godzilla doing the highland fling and throwing monsters around is what I paid my fifteen bucks for. I don't care about the art school crap. I was sold a monster movie throwdown, and that is not what I got. I've a right to be pissed.

Re: Godzilla is a B movie monster.

Yyyeah but still, the original Godzilla was made in earnest as a scary film. It wasn't until America butchered it and Japan caught onto its marketability that all the monster battles and aliens and everything came into play.

Hollywood has latched onto this grimdark thing pretty hard, so I can't imagine going into a 2014 Godzilla movie expecting any kind of camp. The trailers made it pretty clear what they were going for. There are plenty of Asian sci-fi/martial arts films from the 70s-80s that you would probably love, though. I recently watched Black Magic and it was hilarious.

The trailers sold it as being like Pacific Rim, and no one cares about the B&W original. If they'd stuck with that the franchise would have died before it even began. It is way disingenuous to claim it is like the movie that virtually no one watched and whose stuff the rest of the franchise tried to step away from. It is like they know that is not what most people wanted but served it up anyway because, go on you'll like it if you try it.

Re: Godzilla is a B movie monster.

Nah, it was not sold as Pacific Rim at all. They sold it as the lizard doomsday, with blood-red skies and demonic choir music and Bryan Cranston being freaked the fuck out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIu85WQTPRc
I mean... nothing about this suggests campy monster fights.

No one cares about the B&W original... lol ok tell me more.
