Everyone knows what happened after that. Ambitious Americans got the copyright of Godzilla and released two Godzilla films in 1998 and 2014 respectively. The mutant tuatara in 1998 completely subverted the impression and yearning of monster fans for Godzilla, and it was natural to be scolded.
Although the image of Godzilla in the 2014 version is acceptable and there are plots of tribute, the fragmentation of the plot and the complete separation of the human plot and the plot of Godzilla have also led to a lot of criticism. Under such circumstances, old monster fans and Godzilla diehards all hope that Dongbao can return to the arena and teach Hollywood with an authentic and classic Godzilla movie. What is a real first-class special drama? shot like this.
The new Godzilla model released first is also really amazing. That's how Godzilla should be in my mind. Weird head. The mouth is huge and can be opened wider in an incredible jaw-splitting manner. The skin is chapped, similar to the feeling of openwork, the energy contained in the body is looming, and the skin of the whole body is not as regular as the scales of the reptile's skin, but similar to the graininess of bitter gourd. It can be said that this new Godzilla prototype designed by Master Taketani Takashi has satisfied all my imagination of Godzilla, and I like it very much.

But Toho's new Godzilla movie was a big disappointment to me, who had been looking forward to this movie. Are monster movies really like this?
The Godzilla movie in 2014 took up a lot of space for the display of the human camp, and I personally think it is even a bit overwhelming. What's more important is that humans and Godzilla are completely separate lines, and there is no intersection between the two, which makes the audience's attention exhausted. One will see Godzilla for a while, and then they have to be brought into the Quicksilver Witch. The scene of two siblings showing their affection.
Perhaps influenced by this movie, the overall structure of the new Godzilla is still biased towards humans. In 2014, Godzilla had a fight with Mutu after walking a thousand miles, and the scene was quite spectacular. Godzilla in 2016 basically has no sense of existence except for pushing cars and sweeping unmanned aircraft with radiation lasers. The whole movie is not showing Godzilla, and even the origin and production of new Godzilla. The language is unclear, the whole film is to describe how the diligent Japanese government personnel at all levels protect the safety of the people in the face of Godzilla, how the heads of the Prime Minister's Office seize the opportunity to destroy Godzilla and deploy, the Self-Defense Forces How to execute it forcefully without fear of sacrifice, and even the Japanese ambassadors in the United States came to do their best for the interests of Japan. . . Is this Godzilla? This is completely a Japanese version of the patriotic ideological education film, and the demonstration film of national defense education. . .
Besides, the performance of the actors is also very disappointing, but it has little to do with the actors, mainly the script: the entire human camp of the film is full of fast-paced reactions and jumping lines, and the space for the actors to play is simply too small. Most of the time the actor just needs to say his lines quickly and without expression. The male protagonist looks like an air bag from beginning to end. His appearance is very ordinary, and he has no characteristics except handsome. The second male No. 2 Toyo Takenouchi is still as handsome, but he doesn't make many appearances, and his performance can't be said to be very good. Then there is Ishihara Satomi, these sisters have acted in a lot of blockbusters, but every time they show their English, I feel that the monk's daughter-in-law from 5 to 9 is back. . . Oh, by the way, the ten-dollar U.S. commissioner also claims to be the female president of the United States. . .
The specific plot has no bright spots, a complete one-line, running account narrative technique, and the specific plot also inherits the usual Rory's slapstick of Japanese movies, which basically makes people drowsy: Godzilla Appears-Godzilla Evolution- Self-Defense Forces dispatched-Self-Defense Forces are completely destroyed-Godzilla runaway-Prime Minister hits the street-New Prime Minister takes over-U.S. nuclear attack pressure-The Japanese who were touched by sensitive nerves began to be hypocritical-New plan for dealing with Godzilla-Plan implementation-Get it done Godzilla - The Japanese continue to be hypocritical. In this film, Godzilla is not the protagonist, but a big prop in an attempt to strengthen the cohesion of the Japanese and awaken the painful memories of the Japanese.
2016 may be the first year of the Toho Godzilla movie reboot, but this reboot with Godzilla as a supporting role is hard to accept.
Finally, I flipped through the director's name, and I went, no wonder it was full of Evangelion's sense of sight. What happened to the living statue of Godzilla in the background when the male protagonist confessed? ! Could it be that the male protagonist will climb up and drive away?
