I meant that they dragged William Shatner out of retirement when Star Trek VI was a perfect sendoff, with embarrassing results.

Agreed. I hope they don't pull a 'Star Trek Generations' and drag them out of retirement, except as a gag cameo at most.
Because dragging characters that should have been left alone out of retirement went so well the last time for Patrick Stewart:
Iron Man largely succeeded based on the lead performance. Plus, like the X -Men movies in many ways, it got praise for merely being pretty good {and fun} at a time when many comic book movies outright sucked.
Aren't all the Japanese Gojira movies like that though? At least the good ones.
The number of Western actors working in the Japanese film industry is very small. When they actually can hire them, they are usually stuntmen trying to act, or former washed up actors.
Love Exposure is pretty great
There's a number of shots where the atomic rays are off model and are animated in a jerky fashion, and a few where Gojira looks like a sock puppet.
What should have won though? The only other film that I've seen that I liked was Love hot enough to boil water (translation?).
I know. And it looks good for a Japanese movie but pretty bad by Hollywood standards.
To be fair with the bad effects, Japanese films don't have anywhere near the budget of Hollywood films. Have you seen CGI in Japanese films? It looks awful.
X-2 you probably have a point that it would be tonally jarring (though it still is in the actual movie), and the scene from Apocalypse is obviously a reshoot scene and feels totally out of place (though not because of the blood imo). But The Wolverine really felt like it was aimed at adults and should have been…
That's true, but when the guy was created, it was basically as a part of a wider 'fuck you' to the CCA that was going on at the time, and many of Wolverine's stories have been pretty violent. Plus, just as a personal opinion: it's about a guy who brutallity stabs people to death with metal claws. When he does this in…
Wolverine does seem to be an intrinsically R-rated property and it was always really awkward when they tried to fit it into a PG-13 mold.
I know it was supposed to have Cronenberg body horror, but I don't think it was intended to be R-rated. There's no way Fox would have allowed Fant4stic more than a hard pg-13 at most at the time, until the success of Deadpool.
Even Pirates 3 was pretty rubbish, though admittedly enjoyable rubbish. Pirates 4 though….no.
Not attacking you, but I think it's an attitude that's rather justified given the history.
The last Pirates movie sucked ass and frankly the series ran its course 3 movies ago.
The fact you're using the rape of a child to feed your own superiority complex is pretty disgusting.
While I'm not saying this is the case here, there does get a point where people's knee-jerk reaction to CGI gets a bit much. It's not as if there aren't equally terrible practical effects out there. Even in the Alien franchise. Hell in Prometheus by far the worst effect in the movie was a practical one - the…
