Eh, The Rock felt kinda eh... and not one of Connery's best performances. I guess if you want to see him and Cage together, there's that.
Watchable content is not at all the same thing as good movies. His movies are often really fucking stupid, but enjoyable to watch. Like the majority of Godzilla movies.

Getting a little OT, but Pain and Gain was one of the more insulting movies I've seen in a long time. I understand the angle he was going for (and in the hands of a more capable director it could have easily worked) for but he failed to make it impactful or coherent, at least to me. The tone was all over the place and humor was just fucking awful.
I appreciated the lack of lowbrow, idiotic Bay-style "comedy" in Godzilla.

^ i saw pain and gain a few days ago and yeah it was one of the weirdest movies ive ever seen.. i thought
but still stuff was always happening in the film and it never felt like a drag
i am serious
michael bay makes some really fun eye candy
the kind of shit you'd imagine as a kid he puts on the screen
but by no means is he gonna bullshit you with melodrama, even if he did his overall movie is mostly fun, kiddish spectacle, you're watching a live-action cartoon and lightyears more consistent in pacing than edwards' garbage
go ahead and post bon jovi

Yeah, the nuclear powered Gypsy Danger would defeat monsters that thrive on nuclear energy.
So a nuclear powered railgun would not do any damage because it's powered by nuclear energy instead of other less efficient source of energy? You think of it the wrong way.

A railgun doesn't get up close and personal with its target. Not to mention that at the center of GD's chest is the turbine, which is a beeline to the reactor.

Now, this is a new Godzilla- and you can't really say if he's stronger because he's the biggest one or weaker because he doesn't have to fight ridiculous enemies like Destroyah or Spacegodzilla- but that probably would not kill him. Godzilla is near indestructible, there's like two things that can actually kill him for good, one of them is to rip the oxygen out of his body and the other is for himself to meltdown like a nuclear reactor.
And Gypsy does run on a nuclear reactor, probably not the best match-up for Godzilla.

Godzilla has been near killed many times in his films.

Yes, but actually 100% killed - and I have not seen every Godzilla movie - only a few times. And he always comes back either through a kid or something like that.
Then again arguing whether a railgun from Gypsy Danger would kill him or not seems hard to tell. I just don't think it would, given his track record.

I never said it would kill him. But he said that because Gypsy Danger is powered by nuclear energy, he will automatically lose or something even if he strikes with his punches. The way he is powered is irrevelant in the fight.

This is funny, cause one of the main criticisms of PR when it came out was how people thought it didn't have enough monster fighting robot action.
Now that we've all been exposed to Godzilla 2014, PR gets put on a pedestal cause it delivered a bounty by comparison.
It's almost like different people have different measures of what is or isn't enough.
The Rock was pretentious as hell.
Cage saved it.

7 minutes and 55 seconds to be exact
Really enjoyed it. I was expecting much worse after what I kept hearing. I can't believe these complaints about there not being enough godzilla. The monsters were featured throughout the entire movie.
Like the poster above giving the exact amount of time on screen... Smh like that is is indicative of how many scenes he's in.

Let's be honest here, I know a lot of ppl hate bay films but his characters have more personality than the cardboard leads in this movie
Marky Mark in pain and gain alone acts circles around this kid

Movie was average for me.
So why did they decide to put those two warheads on a train again? They lift them via Chinook helicopter later which would probably be way faster.
Why not put them into B2s? Or 747s? Or anywhere else other than a slow moving train?
The reasoning why they couldn't use any of the other 10000s of nukes also didn't sound convincing to me. So they couldn't shoot a cruise missile at the monsters because they would detect that they would be a danger and then use the EMP?
Then why not use one of the subs as bait? Already in the water and proven to be tasty.
And how far did that boat with the warhead travel in 13 minutes??? They brag about how those warheads make the one used in 1954 look like a firecracker and then BOOM. Nothing happens again. Very fast boat.
Say what you want about Emmerich, but the 98 Godzilla characters had more on screen presence. The characters overall were a bit weak.
Weak Japanese Monarch guy, weak lady following him, very weak US Admiral and the EOD marine also did not possess enough screen presence to lead the movie once Breakingbad guy with the fake hairdo died on the carrier.

Can I order a hoodie as well?
Thanks dude!
Regarding the hoodie, of course you can!
Regarding the charcoal background...that was just the default Illustrator background while i screen captured the WIP, i always planned it to be on white (in remembrance of the Rising Sun, of course) or either on dark blue.
I will put it on Redbubble eventually, and there you could probably choose the grey as well, but it's not gonna happen immediately (and it's gonna cost more there, since it's not as affordable as Qwertee, even if the quality should be a bit higher).
Went to see it today with my family. Liked it a lot, but the wife and kid part was pointless. They just 'were' - there was no tension really. I lost track of where the wife was halfway through - after the bus scene, she goes back to the hospital but then is suddenly in the street and then underground.
Generally liked Godzilla and the quieter buildup in the first part of he movie was handled well I thought
There was one shot I want to ask about though - might be my imagination so I want to check with Godzilla fans.
In the shot where Godzilla
just before that moment, you see the flying muto coming straight at Godzilla, with Godzilla in the foreground. The winged muto is pretty much immobile - isn't flapping its wings or anything. That shot felt to me like a recreation of classic Godzilla movies - the angle used, the relatively static monster almost looked like it was sliding along on a string even though it was CG.
Tell me it wasn't just me?
Edit: oh my god, that Hokusai Godzilla is fucking genius. Don't suppose you have one done more closely in the style of the original, rather than the rising sun red circle thing? I'd totally buy a framed print if it looked almost like the original until you look closer

Well I'm going to order a hoodie but I will probably order from Redbubble as well. Thanks for tbe info, and most importantly thanks for the design. I'm honored to have helped with cronstructive criticism earlier even if it did sting a little lol. This is my favorite Godzilla piece I've ever seen.Thanks dude!

Yeah, let's forget the racist caricatures in Bay's films. His characters are totally better.
Woah, thanks... i don't even know how to reply to this (someone else wrote me that too privately) but i honestly do not think i deserve so much praise.
But again, THANKS (also for the constructive criticism, definitely!).

Yo, Gypsy Danger is like 2500 tons, he is going to have his hands full with with the 90,000 ton Big G from this movie.
Yeah, and i loved that.
Humans were nothing to Godzilla and the MUTOs, they truly behaved like ancient gods... and yet the movie was somehow centered around our perspective, which made things really fascinating for me.

I could make it (and it was like that originally, while it was still an early WIP), but it wasn't frankly as powerful and striking as it is with the red rising sun IMHO.

that was sort of the point though. Cranston's arc came full-circle when he found what killed his wife, and the kid is just the anchor for 'the human side' as far as I'm concerned.
I was more bothered by the director using similar tricks as in Monsters, demonstrating some degree of inexperience in directing (this is not the same as saying 'the movie sucks', it's just an observation about it). I watched X-men just before Godzilla though, and Singer's movie is a competent display of experience, so the difference was apparent anyway.

Oh wow, now that you mention it, it feels like Godzilla is the War of the Wolrds movie seen through the son's eyes. Maybe he rode on terror train, HALO jumped and helped with a bomb before getting back to Boston.
It's the well crafted symbolism.
Yeah more like the original - or a bluer sky. And mainly as a rectangular print

Yes. It is in all of them except the '98 American version.,The later Godzilla movies have a more powerful version and it's Red.

You should sue James Cameron for $50 million.
seriously though, that sucks. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol did the same thing for me, though it must've been the sound levels since that movie wasn't done in 3D.

It is in every single Godzilla film. Early in the Showa era it was more like an atomic flamethrower, it didn't have a punch just intense heat and radiation. He even used it to fly once.
Later it became more like a plasma cannon, still being radioactive and extremely hot, but also packing a tremendous physical punch. This was how it has been since the Heisei era to the present. Sometimes Godzilla can absorb so much excess energy that he has what is called "Red Spiral Ray" that is immensely powerful. In Godzilla 2000 and Megaguirus his breath was red, but it wasn't any different from the normal breath. It was just a design choice.
In the later era his breath is so powerful and accurate that he can hit a target in orbit.
