they never say or even insinuate that it takes placeover only "a few hours" the scenes change between night and day and night a couple of times...MrShape666 wrote:One part where I thought they really got too stupid for their own good is the idea of the ship leading Godzilla around all over the world to defeat monsters in a few hours. It's a really stupid sequence that is so bad it isn't even fun.
They should have had the aliens recall all the monsters to Japan when the humans start fighting back, and have Godzilla go through them that way.

And yet, unlike the two Godzilla movies before it, I can't say that I feel as if I've seen it several times before. That, and I've honestly come to enjoy it for being so terrible. That's all I've got to say in defense of it.
It's too bad that another Godzilla movie like this is so unlikely. The story premise behind it was cool and I rather like that Godzilla's final film was to celebrate all his movies and bring back monsters that haven't been seen in decades. If only it were executed better...
Like I said, guilty pleasure. He might have made an absurd Godzilla movie, but you can't say he made a boring one.

Arrow wrote:One thing about GFW I do like is the fights. I know the film is ridiculously light on monster action, the battles scenes are silly and short, and the human scenes aren't nearly done well enough to justify it, but I honestly loved seeing Godzilla smash his way through all his old enemies. After seeing him get blown to pieces in GMK, get injured fighting Kiryu to a standstill in the next film, and then seeing him get wrapped in silk and dumped at the bottom of the ocean in Tokyo S.O.S., it was kind of nice, as a fan of the character, to see Godzilla come out on top again. Just seeing all those monsters - Angurius, Rodan (who is one of my favorites), Kumonga, Hedorah and all the others again was cool enough that I didn't mind how easily they were beaten. Their scenes could have been longer, hell they should have been longer, but I do enjoy them as they are.
Biggest disappointment for me was the King Ghidorah, or whatever that was supposed to be.

Same here. So what if they were Nazi stormtrooper inspired? Can't say the Germans didn't know how to dress themselves.
MrShape666 wrote:True, the Nazis were snappy dressers, but this just looked uncomfortable. I mean, all they were lacking was a swastika. It's almost impossible not to wonder what exactly Kitimura was trying to say with that, especially if like me, you come from a Jewish family that is quite a bit smaller now because of that period of history. Given the historical connection between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, this comes of as a pretty bad lapse in judgment.
yeah but don't you think they get some final say or initial concept-word in on the subject??walshiam wrote:Directors leave wardrobes to the "experts".
