    The Godzilla series always has thinly developed characters. It's a damn monster movie, not an Oscar film.

    PS: If you want one with character development, check out Monsters (2010) or Cloverfield. I loved the 2014 Godzilla film.
    If this was Meg we are talking about I may lean more to this stance, but a monster movie that takes itself this serious, with this dark and gritty tone, you'll end up with Batman v Superman results, which is exactly what we got.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    At first I thought you were talking about me when you said “if this was Meg we were talking about”.

    I was like “gee, thanks a lot Duke”.

    As long as those buildings are evacuated so no Marvel fans get sad.

    Collateral damage is okay. I'd put these flicks in the same post-human category as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

    Me too, but you're not gonna change his mind on this one. We've gone around on it. He hates it and that's it. And I'm not busting your chops Duke, that's fine. Just apparently a divisive film. You like it or hate it. With little middle ground.
    That's fine. I think seeing Godzilla 2014 on the big screen is partly why I loved it.

    No it's correct. Order of operations. Remember, it was the DC movie that started the controversy. Not Marvel. Marvel just responded appropriately. (If we are referencing the same thing).

    We just have different perspectives on the whole ordeal and we've gone round and round on it a dozen times. Lets just get back to loving or hating Godzilla. Sorry I attempted a joke. I'm on vaca for first time in 4 years.

    Duke, did you like "Pacific Rim" or its sequel?

    Curious if you have a problem with the entire genre of giant things beating the shit out of other giant things or just this specific implementation of it.

    I stand with Duke on this one. I like all sorts of giant monster films including Pacific Rim but the 2014 Godzilla is lifeless and stoic, filled with pretentious Nolan-isms.

    I really love Pacific Rim and the characters. I rewatch it at least once a year. Hated the sequel.

    I made it through half the sequel. I should probably try again.

    Pacific Rim was one of the biggest disappointments of the decade.

    A movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters had no business being so boring.

    Y'all. In one of the new tv spots, someone throws out the joke, "Is it just me or has he [the Big G] been working out?"

    It's canon now.
