Pacific Rim was far better than any of the Godzilla and Kong movies. The Legendary films went the Transformers route and are just dumb beyond belief. The only way to rationalize them is that they’re for the same audience that loved the originals from Toho — kids — and on that level they work I guess but you can make a Godzilla movie that isn’t an exercise in seeing how many different ways buildings can be destroyed. Remaking the original 1954 Godzilla would be amazing but based on the audience reviews for GvK it seems like most are happy with monsters running amok in a movie with zero character development, completely implausible storylines, and whole bunch of stupid on top.

The first one was not like that at all. Godzilla 14 was a very grounded and "realistic" take on Titans and I was hoping they stayed that route. They didn't.
I think had Edwards done a trilogy we would have something very different right now... [Reply]

Agree with this. The RLM review pretty much nailed it as being stupid and staying out of the way whenever the monsters fight. [Reply]

Truth. She and her two friends were there to provide exposition only. In an incredibly annoying pointless manner. You could have cut out 20+ minutes of their scenes with two lines of dialog by the bad guy: "Godzilla is homing in on X" and "Z uses psionics."
On the positive side the Mexican chick was hot. The movie could have used a lot more of her and a lot less of the deaf Asian toddler staring in wonder.
As cheesy as it is, I still found the fight scene in the original more entertaining than the ones in the new movie:

Yeah. I love Stranger Things and she’s great in that but she may be a one trick pony as an actress. [Reply]
They didn't nuke Hong Kong because of the international conflict, and it would juice up Godzilla that it be a fair fight between Mecha and he
Spoiler!
Well Godzilla would have lost to King Ghidorah if humans didn't roid him up on nukes so you have a very valid point. I wish they would make a Kaiju movie without humans interfering with the nature of the beast. Let them fight without science. That way the Kaiju doesn't have * after a victory.
