I don't understand why Godzilla is so revered. Of all the movies to be appalled about Hollywood re-making, Godzilla should be one of the ones people care about least. I have seen one Godzilla movie ("Godzilla vs. Mothra") and it was one of the shittiest movies I have ever seen. Corny and not in a good way. Awful special effects, pitiful acting and sound design and a nonexistent story.
I asked a Japanese friend how or why anyone would like this crap. He said people probably saw it on TV and loved it for childhood nostalgia. I guess that makes sense, but I see no other reason to like or care about any of these movies. It's a giant dinosaur terrorizing a city. Whoop dee doo. At least with modern CGI we'd be spared the insulting visual of a man in a crappy Halloween costume doing all the destruction.![]()
This.
Yeah, it's about time people stopped being bitchy about remaking Godzilla, and just go with the flow. And they'd better be filming in CGI, or I'll be pissed off; men in suits under hot Klieg lights is just plain irresponsible.
