Due to success , Warner Bros. and Legendary begin work on 'Godzilla 2' - Polidicks

Yeah. Grown Ups 2. Are you deliberately trying to make me angry or something? You don't understand that the stuff you are complaining about doesn't make any sense, all of these literally happen in a matter of a few seconds. It was very urgent for him to get there because [sp] his father fucked up again and he wanted to get him home[/sp]. [sp]Cranston was only worried. He didn't know a meltdown would occur that day and she works there why the fuck do you want to know what she was supposed to do there? Who cares?[/sp] [sp]The Nuclear Bunker scene with MUTO is so minor and we already told you why it didn't finish. It heard the other MUTO.[/sp] Feel free to publish a 500 page paper on the behaviour of MUTOs, be sure to send it to me. [sp]No one gives a shit why the tracker worked.[/sp] [sp]So what if the nuke was just a small light in the background? It got us scenes in the city with Kickass getting up-close to the monsters. What did you wanted to see? The city getting obliterated and a Mushroom cloud?[/sp] Would that have enhanced your movie experience? I honestly can't believe you are trying really hard to hate something. Why would you do that? It makes no goddamn sense, especially with the points supporting your argument haha. "I didn't like Godzilla because they didn't explain why[sp] the tracker[/sp] worked in the end scene." This is the impression I'm getting from reading your posts. It's pathetic. [QUOTE=Skyward;44848396]Jeez I already said I dont think those points invalidate the movie in any way or detracted from my enjoyment of it. I just thought they were silly. No need to get your nipples in a twist.[/QUOTE] I don't care if you think the movie wasn't invalidated. The stuff you complained about was stupid in itself. It's like you never watched a movie before. The stuff you mentioned can be found in any movie because people don't fucking understand that a realistic movie is not a fun movie to watch. You need to use movie logic in order to create the perfect shots for whatever you want to show from time to time but there is no problem except if you make one out of it. Like you. Thinking that cool scenes were silly just makes your movie experience worse. Good job. [editline]19th May 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Skyward;44848396]Jeez I already said I dont think those points invalidate the movie in any way or detracted from my enjoyment of it. I just thought they were silly. Not bad. Not offensive. Just stupidly silly. No need to get your nipples in a twist. Really making this personal hmm? Chill the fuck out. Seriously, i just said something you didn't like about a movie, it's not like I shot your dog or some shit.[/QUOTE] Personal? I said I am happy he didn't enjoy the movie and he obviously didn't where is the problem? I didn't call neither of you stupid. Just the "points" you posted.

But... I like silly? So how is it making my movie experience worse? I never said it wasn't movie logic. I [i]acknowledged[/i] it was movie logic. I didnt say the silly bits made it worse for me, I said those parts DIDN'T make my enjoyment of the film any worse. and then you say "LERN ABOUT MOVIE LOGIC YOU MADE IT WORSE THO" You're being waaaaay too defensive man. I get it you like the movie, but you're just acting childish. Like fuck dude you're just lashing out at anything about the movie you can construe as negative [i]whether it is or not.[/I] There's defending something you like and then blindly rejecting the [i]idea[/I] of criticism. Three guesses on which you're doing.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;44848425]Way to miss my point. [sp]Loads of people "die" (does this even need a spoiler), but no one really, actually dies. They get crushed or whatever, but in the least traumatic way possible. There's no consequence to their deaths, and they might as well have survived - it makes no difference to the audience in this case. No one you actually *kinda* connect with dies, beyond Cranston and his wife. My point is that the Mutos end up not being all that terrifying. [/sp][/QUOTE] Well, [sp]people don't need to be visibly crushed into red paste for their death to come to some effect. The only people that should have a proper death of that kind is main characters, and this happens with Joe Brody (ableit his death still coming as a bit stupid - him not dying probably wouldn't have made much difference because Ford is so focused on his one-track "gotta go home" that he basically doesn't give a shit after the first five minutes post-mortem) and Sandra Brody (who's death has a profound effect on Joe). The civilian death toll is enough to have *some* impact, and that's the point. Ultimately, though, you are only supposed to care about the main characters and the monsters, not trying to find as many people turned into tomato puree as possible. The MUTOs aren't really terrifying, I'll agree - at least not that way. Their "horror" aspect comes, apart from the fact that they're ancient parasites, from the fact that they are gigantic fucking monsters that feed on radiation and shrug off basically everything that's thrown at them until Godzilla arrives to beat the living shit out of them. They aren't really supposed to be super scary in that regard. They're the bad guys, yeah, and they're technically called monsters, yes, but the basic truth is that they are gigantic creatures that feed off radiation. The fact they "borrow" nuclear submarines to eat missiles, can break through Mount Yucca's vaults, and laugh at almost everything shot at them is simply an extension of the fact that they are absolutely gigantic.[/sp] [QUOTE]What about google maps. Or Bing. Or Nokia. Or whatever. Or a guy with a small plane simply observing it. [sp]And even if they blurred out the zone, why would they do that since it's just a radiated area? There's supposedly nothing else going on. [/sp][/QUOTE] Google Maps, Bing, and whatever else would likely have been payed off. [sp]They could have falsified imagery, old images to enact the visage that nothing changed, there's a ton of basic ways they could hide the replacement plant without blurring the place out. Since it never tells us, though, we'll never know for sure.[/sp] Why would people really be interested in seeing a 15 year old exclusion zone anyway? [sp]As for a guy in a plane, as already said, they'd be intercepted and dealt with in the same way Joe and Ford were. Whether in the air or after they'd touched down (and this is assuming they managed to get close enough into the Janjira Exclusion Zone to see the new plant in the first place) they'd be hounded by police or the SDF and hauled off.[/sp] It's a shame that the main human compenent is so... lackluster, but there's enough monster fighting to sorta alleviate that. [sp]Joe not dying may have helped a lot, though. May.[/sp]

[QUOTE=The Combine;44848517]Yeah. Grown Ups 2. Are you deliberately trying to make me angry or something? [/quote] No, not at all. Why would I try to make fun of you.

And I don't think his wife would agree to it either. And does he even wake his kid and tell him? People in movies need to act like people, and it wouldn't in any way have ruined the movie had he said "sure, I'll leave tomorrow on the first plane". Actually, it would have fixed the scene, and made it more believable. My original point was about them saying stupid shit like "I'll be home in a few days (he won't)" and, I shit you not, something like "this isn't the apocolypse". Like, it doesn't ruin the movie on its own, but it screams lazy writing, which is really the problem that permeates the whole movie. I have already explained why I think the other actions are illogical, and my problem with the movie is that they didn't take their time to give a small, short reason why things are happening. It's just lazy. Again, it's just lazy writing when the transponder works "just because" - would it have killed them to have someone say "we think the missile might be here, because we got a visual/the monsters met up here/someone told us/the transponder sent out a short signal just before the EMP - we think we know where it is". Like, what would be their plan B if the transponder didn't work (we've established that [I]all[/I] electronic equipment is killed by the EMPs, remember, so why did they think it did?)? They leave the audience asking themselves questions. Again, this is just another example, not the sole reason why the movie was bad[/sp] [quote] [sp]So what if the nuke was just a small light in the background?

[/quote] [Sp]The nuke is just another example of all the no-consequence action going on in the movie. It's good example, since it's both no-consequence and also completely unexplained. Just another one, you know? And yes, it would've made the movie better had the blast just slightly affected the city, or some soldier guys or whatever. [/sp] [quote] I honestly can't believe you are trying really hard to hate something. Why would you do that? It makes no goddamn sense, especially with the points supporting your argument haha. "I didn't like Godzilla because they didn't explain why[sp] the tracker[/sp] worked in the end scene." This is the impression I'm getting from reading your posts. It's pathetic. [/QUOTE] You're getting it wrong, then. I didn't like Godzilla because they didn't explain why [sp]the tracker[/sp], thing, thing number 2, thing number 3 and thing number x didn't work. Oh, and the acting was bad, or maybe the directing was simply shit; either of those. [sp]I did like the shot with Godzilla swimming under the Hangar ship with the people running on top - it was pretty cool. [/sp]

This page looks like CIA documents.

I can only judge the info from your posts and the way I understood it you didn't like those scenes [b]one bit[/b] which obviously isn't the case now. It came off as rather pretentious and in a "im too good for this shit" kind of way like the some "enlightened by muh intelligence" way of thinking which is widespread around the internet. Doesn't seem to be the case now though I just couldn't really make out what you were trying to say. On the one hand you thought the scenes were cool and on the other hand you thought they were stupid. I wasn't blindly defending it. I was just thinking that someone rants about something which I wouldn't even think about and I was rather mad about how anybody could come up with something like this. I still don't really know wether you liked it or not or what you were trying to say with that.

I'm saying those scenes were dumb. They were silly. They were movie logic at its worst/finest. I like dumb silly movie logic because it is dumb and silly and illogical. Is that blatant enough?

[QUOTE=Taggart;44848576]Well, [sp]people don't need to be visibly crushed into red paste for their death to come to some effect.

They're there when they scream, but they're not there when building/car/whatever gets crushed. They're simply "gone", they might as well have teleported themselves of existence. A small scene with someone mourning somebody or something, would've made the devastation and killing actually have an impact. As you say, even Joe Brody's death doesn't seem to have an impact on the main character. I like the scene where Sandra Brody died, though I think their conversation could've been a deal better - but it seemed like Cranston actually cared.[/sp] [quote] Google Maps, Bing, and whatever else would likely have been payed off.

[/sp] [quote] It's a shame that the main human compenent is so... lackluster, but there's enough monster fighting to sorta alleviate that. [sp]Joe not dying may have helped a lot, though. May.[/sp][/QUOTE] I agree that the monster fighting was pretty nice, but I don't think there was enough to alleviate the bad characters.

Hey everyone, let's be civil here. It doesn't matter if you liked/disliked the film, I think we should all calm down and try to have a civil discussion. I don't like the name calling :c To GoDong [sp]Yes, there's plot holes and various "why did they do that" stuff. It's a Godzilla film. You have 300 foot tall creatures that are millions of years old battling it out in San Francisco downtown. I thiiiink there's a reason for 'suspension of disbelief'. But yes, Ford Brody was a bit stale imo[/sp]

I don't think fantastic movies are consistently bad, but they need to be consistent for me to enjoy them.

Space godzilla pls.

[QUOTE=c:;44846517]What I hated most in this movie was exactly what I hated most in Man of Steel; People are shown as being these quiet, inquisitive things.

[QUOTE=showtek;44848793]Or just Godzilla 2....[/QUOTE] Atomic boogaloo?

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;44846241]It was more akin to the very first, original Godzilla movie, which was about the people, than Godzilla himself.[/QUOTE] Problem with that is the original Godzilla is a reflection of the trauma of Japan being nuked twice. This flick has none of that subtext, coupled with okay acting and okay writing the human interactions in this film were just bland and weak. I mean holy FUCK Watanabe was pretty much 50% of the reason I went and all he does is spout bullshit the whole time in a whispery voice.

[QUOTE=headshotter;44845194][sp]Cranston having the only interesting character, why have him killed that fast? "Hey we can make a somewhat intelligent movie! Naaaah, let's kill the smart guy and have gun funs while some stereoptical japanese scientist cranks up philosophical lines about nature and darwinism".[/sp][/QUOTE] i think its ridiculous that people think that [sp]cranston having more screentime would've made the movie 10x better. why would that be, exactly? his character served his purpose, and even though he was much more charismatic than most of the other actors, he wouldn't have added much to the final experience[/sp]

[QUOTE=murple;44848831]the one thing that annoys me with movies like this is the amount of focus on the puny humans i don't care about i want to see monsters fighting[/QUOTE] Have you never seen a Godzilla movie before?
