Re: Godzilla is a B movie monster.

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.

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.

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.
