I love cheesy monster movies and will happily have a beer and watch #Godzilla smash up cities for a couple hours.
The bar is pretty low for what I think is worth my time, but the newest Godzilla + King Kong movie is unbelievably bad. Embarrassingly bad.
I can suspend disbelief for a while and accept nuclear dinosaurs coming out of the ocean and causing a ruckus. I can even suspend disbelief for a world where, like one of those creationist dinosaur theme parks, monkeys and dinosaurs exist simultaneously and spend a couple of hours beating each other up.
But giant monkeys and nuclear dinosaurs beating each other up then teaming up to protect magical telepathic humans who live in the center of the Earth, which somehow has sunshine, from malevolent giant monkeys who also live in the center of the Earth next to a volcano is... IDK, stupid?
Was this supposed to be a comedy? Did I miss something? But, hey, the scientist/main character is really fucking hot, so there's that I guess?
Really liked the #GodzillaMinusOne panel at #WonderCon on Saturday. I love me a stomp around monster movie, but even more is when I've been able to attend panels that discuss the real-life reasons for #Godzilla on screen. Some of the panelists also discussed some of the horrific things that were done to people when testing various bombs. Using people as unwitting lab rats - how more inhuman can you be? It really puts Godzilla in a very different light when you know the trauma that produced him.
I saw #GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire last night, and I definitely had mixed feelings about it, especially given how much I love Godzilla Minus One. Late into the movie, I had a thought-shift in understanding that they're very different things. Godzilla Minus One is very much more of a psychological film delving into the trauma of having been on the receiving end of nuclear bombs. #Godzilla#KingKong#GodzillaXKong /1
In looking at it today, I think they mean for it to be Godzilla "times" Kong, like a math equation, where the two of them together makes them exponentially more powerful. #Godzilla#KingKong#GodzillaXKong#GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire /5 end
