hm…… it's been a while……… I think I would like to analyze a movie -R

man you guys are on TOP of this -R

skreeonk

Hm, didn't realize how harrowing the opening of original Godzilla becomes just by modernizing the setting and cameras

oooo baby I do not like how the water's turning red

but I love this found footage social media vibe with multiple angles during the evacuation and the utter lack of bg music

godzilla: ごごごごご
this guy: oh heck yea a slide

they lulled me into a false sense of security with eight minutes of boardroom politics and then BAM, godzilla taking a nice river swim

"it definitely super won't be able to come ashore so nobody panic"
godzilla: :V

what in the good goddamn

thanks, I hate it!

so this movie is actually about government inefficiency and bungled responses to crisis, leaving the people to suffer and die in the face of an unprecedented threat?

going from original godzilla to king of the monsters was visually jarring enough, but something about how this movie is handling godzilla feels waaaaaaay more real and thus WAY more uncomfortable than any other recent kaiju flicks

this is a renaissance painting. shin godzilla is wiggling his way through a crowded city street in broad daylight and it's WAY more uncomfortable

ew ew ew ew ew what's happening

mad respect, though, no beating around the bush here - we're twenty minutes in and godzilla's just There

oh cool he headed back to the bay, false alarm everyone, movie's over

last time was a surprise so of course we were unprepared, but THIS time we'll build GIANT ROBOTS to PUNCH THE KAIJU-

and now we have a room full of two dozen nerds speculating about godzilla go go go

this movie is really playing with the dramatic irony, since of course we as an audience know how godzilla works and that he's nuclear powered, so we're waiting for the characters to catch up to us

wait wait english they're speaking english what's happening

does it count as passing the bechdel test if two women have a conversation about godzilla

fifteen minutes later, godzilla's back and he's not boggle-eyed anymore!

good lord I love the shot where all the roof slates jump and shake as godzilla passes

he's evolved… and has learned to do the Standard Anime Protagonist Hand Stare Maneuver………

oh fuck yea bring back that original godzilla soundtrack

"social media has dubbed this evolved form a 'heckin chonker', sir!"

oh yeah, these guys stand a chance

"sir, reports say that the missiles have obscured godzilla in a massive smoke cloud! we're pretty sure we got him!"
the one scientist in the room who's watched DBZ:

there really is something truly unnerving about how well-lit and bright this movie is. apparently the only thing scarier than the monster you can't see is the one in broad daylight you can't stop

oh boy, the US military is gonna step in! what could possibly go wrong?

new scariest scene in the movie: the underground evacuation where there's too many people, it's too crowded, the military guys managing it are clearly overwhelmed - and then the power fails

finally a proper godzilla roar! oh how I've missed that sound

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

UHHHHHHH

so this was the evangelion guy, you say?

oh cool he's got a disco mode

welp, there goes the prime minister

midway through act 2, good time for a darkest hour

I couldn't name a single one of these characters and yet somehow I'm deeply invested in their success

petition to add "dropping a nuke on godzilla" to the phrasebook alongside "invading russia in the winter"

fuckin bold move of the US to be like "no problem my dude we'l just nuke tokyo"

kickass distorted electric guitar??

this is definitely the most eldritch abomination-y godzilla's ever been and I gotta say I dig it

"perhaps it's time we did as we like" is the politest "fuck da police" I've ever heard

twenty minutes left in the movie let's goooooo

"I cannot promise that all will be safe… but your work will matter!"

ahh, I was wondering what the tail was for

and now for a nice refreshing drink

in this godzilla movie, the trains finally have their revenge for decades of abuse

welp, here's hoping that killed it

awwwwww, the scientist lady showed an emotion 🥺

a happy, hopeful ending? in MY godzilla movie???

maybe I should withhold judgment until the movie's actually over

well regardless I like the dynamic between these two

wait what the fuck happened to his skeleton

is… is godzilla's tail made of tinier skeletons??

no fuck you this is a happy ending goddammit

I definitely like this Godzilla more than the King Of The Monsters Friend To Humans edition, but I kinda wanna see this one fight King Ghidorah because I wanna know what it looks like when a three-headed space dragon shits its pants in fear

ghidora: ah yes now that I have been released from the ice this planet is mine to rule
