| Megiddo said: Did you see Hideaki Anno's Shin Godzilla? |
You weren't speaking to me but I did watch Shin Godzilla. Gosh it was amazing. I've seen it around 3 times now and it never gets old. It's the perfect mix of human struggle and hubris against something bigger than themselves and amazing epic action.
Ontopic: I agree with you OP (it also helps I'm not a Marvel guy, lol). I watched Godzilla 2014 and while it wasn't as good as Shin Godzilla, some of the action as well as the dramatic moments with Bryan Cranston really worked for me. I think it just needed better dialogues for the humans (aside from Bryan Cranston) since the monster clashes were brutal.
King Kong: Skull Island on the other hand is the complete opposite for me. I loved the human stuff and most of the characters had cool dialogues, charisma and some were even memorable BUT the monster clashes were definitely not as good as Godzilla 2014. They were probably a bit gimped since all of the big popular monsters are going to appear in this upcoming movie and the sequels but still, they left a lot to be desired.
Hopefully this new movie can have both things. Excellent, memorable human characters with charisma + epic monster clashes. That'd be the best.
