V.T. Eric Layton 6,769 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I just saw a doozy! Godzilla (2014) It was bad... just plain bad. Really. It was bad. Did I mention that this movie was bad? Oh, and it was long, too. Long and bad, yes it was. Link to post Share on other sites

crp 831 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I just saw a doozy! Godzilla (2014) It was bad... just plain bad. Really. It was bad. Did I mention that this movie was bad? Oh, and it was long, too. Long and bad, yes it was. Did you like it? what about when Godzilla gets on the scene? Link to post Share on other sites
abarbarian 3,484 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I loved the original. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_%281954_film%29 "In these days of flawless special effects, Godzilla and the city he destroys are equally crude. Godzilla at times looks uncannily like a man in a rubber suit, stomping on cardboard sets, as indeed he was, and did. Other scenes show him as a stuffed, awkward animatronic model. This was not state-of-the-art even at the time; King Kong (1933) was much more convincing. When Dr. Serizawa demonstrates the Oxygen Destroyer to his fiancee, Emiko [sic], the super weapon is somewhat anticlimactic. He drops a pill into a tank of tropical fish, the tank lights up, he shouts, "stand back!" the fiancée screams, and the fish go belly-up. Yeah, that'll stop Godzilla in his tracks."[25] Since its release, Godzilla has been regarded not only as one of the best giant monster films ever made but an important cinematic achievement.[26] The film was ranked #31 in Empire magazine's "The 100 Best Films Of World Cinema" in 2010.[27] Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LilBambi Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I too was hopeful...I love all old Godzilla movies on nostalgic principal. I did enjoy the newer old one with Matthew Broderick as the research scientist. Godzilla (1998) - IMDb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(1998_film) Link to post Share on other sites
Capt.Crow 873 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think Godzilla just had a bad trip . Try the Predator series .Now you're suckin diesel ..Black smoke and all..(Irish farmer's quote) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LilBambi Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I love the first 2 Predator movies. The rest are OK but nothing to write home about; once you see those, don't much need to see them again. But the first 2, whole different ball park. Really enjoyed those two.

V.T. Eric Layton 6,769 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 A lot of folks seemed to like Godzilla 2014. I could barely stay awake. It was just too long. They make you wait a long time to see Big G. Many scenes filmed in darkness; difficult to follow, etc. Try it, though... you might like it. Everyone's different. ---- Speaking the Predator movies, don't forget to take a look at Predators (plural) - good movie! Also, the Predator vs Alien flicks weren't too bad either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LilBambi Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes, those two weren't bad but I loved the first two more. Link to post Share on other sites
Robert 235 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Many scenes filmed in darkness; Because they wanted to cover up cheaply made sets or develop drama like CSI turning off the lights and exploring homes by flashlights with 3/4 dead batteries? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LilBambi Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I loved Alien and Aliens. Jury is out on the last two ... Never went back to watch them again. Maybe I should to see if I have changed my mind on them. Who knows... Link to post Share on other sites
Temmu 1,931 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 i saw alien twice, years after it was in the theater, and aliens once, now that you mention it! i like aliens also, i'm sure my like had nothing to do with Sigourney Weaver... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

abarbarian 3,484 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 i'm sure my like had nothing to do with Sigourney Weaver... Mine neither. It was the cat that made me watch a second time an in all the follow ups I was always looking for the cat to appear again. Ever noticed how many movies have cats in them. Like this favourite of mine, Cat People an the remake was very well done too. http://youtu.be/golEvRaaKYo Not that I was looking at Simone Simon or Nastassja Kinski. Link to post Share on other sites
Temmu 1,931 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 that looks like it might be interesting. reminds me a bit of "cat woman" - but cat woman was merely an ok film. while movies suspend reality, i cannot buy off on cat woman's i'm good sometimes and bad sometimes (and it is beyond my control.)

crp 831 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I liked Alien a lot but don't plan on watching it again, it really creeped me out. never saw Aliens . Predator was a nice surprise. Came in expecting one movie and got a completely different movie, really nice change of pace,plot and style executed Link to post Share on other sites

Pete! 234 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I liked Alien a lot but don't plan on watching it again, it really creeped me out. never saw Aliens . Predator was a nice surprise. Came in expecting one movie and got a completely different movie, really nice change of pace,plot and style executed Actually, if you liked Predator, you might enjoy Aliens.The premise of both involved an elite military unit, equipped with devastating firepower, sent by a Machiavellian corporation or government into a situation involving an extremely formidable "unhuman" foe... Just action, no deeper meaning, no social commentary, relax... no thinking required. IMHO: Alien was a horror flick. Aliens was action adventure. Edited July 3, 2014 by Pete!

Guest LilBambi Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I agree with Pete! ... well, Aliens was an action sci fi adventure with aliens. Yes, if you enjoyed Predator, you may well enjoy Aliens. I liked both a lot. Edited July 3, 2014 by LilBambi Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,769 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 They made a mash up movie of Predator and Aliens called "Pralines (and Cream)." UMMMM! It was sooooo good! Link to post Share on other sites
