You’re taking anything from the Millennium series over 2014? What? Sure maybe GMK or the kind-of-OK Mechagodzilla films are ok, but 2014 definitely edges them out in terms of actual craftsmanship save for Taylor-Johnson. No one’s defending that guys performance.

Which is what Disney bought this series for. They were in no way doing so to make the best artistic choices. They were there to sell the memories of the good’ol’times to the audience who were disenfranchised by the un-fun prequels.

Too many script revisions and too much Aaron Taylor Johnson are what hurt that film. His actual direction, from setting up the creatures and the flow of the movie was pretty phenomenal... except for his inability to get Taylor-Johnson to emote. I dunno.

It is nowhere near as bad as any of those remakes to matter what the manchildren claim. It hews much closer to the original in themes than those did. It’s still a very different movie. Not everything in it works either, but enough of it works that it can stand on its own. It’s also much more kid friendly than the…

The new movie definitely embodies that. It does it in different ways, but it’s still a core element.

I’m a pretty hardcore fan so here’s my reaction to the new movie:

It does. It’s significantly less crazy than it could have been too since his original script involved time travel and all the ghosts were size of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. It wasn’t until Harold Ramis came in to help with rewrites that it got more “grounded” so to speak.

No one can be as small as Tom Cruise. Even the smaller Hemsworth

No one bothers me with their blandness more than Jai Courtney

The narrative purpose was that Robocop saw this as an opportunity to very easy way to manipulate an angry, grief stricken Kirk to go assassinate Dr StrangeKhan. Thus this is why Kirk and the Enterprise are in the remainder of the movie and not the Other Ship™

I’m not sure what Disney is going to do with this film and say what you will about 2014's Godzilla (I loved it despite its boring ass main character), but Gareth Edwards is the type of visual director you want on big budget movies. Dude just really knows how to get a sequence to come together and be dynamic and…

Which is hilarious because James Gunn wrote the first Scooby Doo which famously throws Scrappy Doo under the bus as hard as possible

I unfortunately finished the series.

Can’t be any worse than the last 4 books.

My interest ended around the 5th book.

Which is funny because the past, and history in general, is a highly debatable subject so getting that 100% correct is impossible as well.

That was arguably the worst scenes in that movie. If you boiled the prequels down into one scene to add to The Force Awakens you would end up with the “Rae finds Luke” scene.

That’s silly. Just kill them off already.

Rule of thumb is usually whatever the production cost was times 2. So the film probably cost $225 - 250 million just to actually make. That’s if they wanted to leave it on a shelf and do nothing else. Then there’s the absurd marketing fees. Even a film that isn’t well marketed like this one still had advertising in…
