Notice the older Godzilla and Kong (they really are not that HUGE, relatively speaking anyway). When I first saw Kong Skull Island, and got a glimpse of the size they were going with for these titans, I had a feeling it wouldnt go over so well.


I mean, cmon, look at Godzilla in this new movie, hes probably close to 1500ft tall (some shots look like hes closer to 5000ft tall!), and about as wide a couple sky scrapers!!! Im sorry, but that is just TOO large (even for this kind of movie). I call it 'ridiculous proportion scale'! LOL


The Titan sound effects were also HORRIBLE, they were about as bad as the sound effects from the last Bryan Cranston Godzilla movie, the Mutto sounds, sounded more like a couple pipes banging around, it sounded very lame imo.

Lame. My friend picked it and she loved it. I didn’t like it.

"Godzilla" Sequel to Finish With Soft $400M - Dark Horizons

So of the three "monsterverse" movies, the best movie performed the worst at the box office. Modern audiences baffle me.

And here I was thinking a few months back that this bad boy might flirt with 800-900 million.

I thought American audiences enjoyed kaiju rendered with state of the art VFX. Oh, well.

The new Men In Black is also a loser for the studio. That one didn't surprise me though.

It's been a weird summer for movies. The last two I have seen in the theater --- Godzilla and Dark Phoenix --- were both box office disappointments hated by the critics, and I enjoyed both movies. Loved Godzilla in fact.

Sometimes I thing the zeitgeist has lost its mind.

The MIBI trailers weren't interesting. I sensed no buzz for it. That franchise is better left on the shelf, methinks.

Yup. It had one good movie and a surprisingly good cartoon. But it's done.
