Cool croc
Gets a star for the croc and nothing else. I struggled through this boring heap until the lack luster first kill and knew there was nothing of value here. This studio produces nothing but uncomfortable gross movies they for some reason thinks works as horror. Horror for pretentious mid wits. I have seen some seriously gross films that really made me squirm but these theirs have a strange vapid aspect to them that really irks me. No interesting camera work, characters, sets or dialog here. Only a nice croc. I did attempt to skip into the movie and see if that lovable croc gets a kill but didn't see anything. Lame. I guess it was a metaphor! Whoooa I can really taste the horror! I'm really feelin' it!
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Let down.
If Shin Godzilla is the "thinking mans" Godzilla then Minus One is the opiate for the masses. It's a retelling of the original Godzilla story but worse. In an age when we CAN do amazing effects we're stuck with forced, shallow human drama and very little Godzilla time. The movie does basically everything short of "sad piano sad, cry here" moments and drones on and on beating you over the head with it nonstop human drama. At least with King of Monsters I can skip the people bits and see some awesome monster moments.
At least Shin Godzilla tried to do something different. I felt more emotion for the family in the toppled apartment building in the Shin movie than I did for the entire cast of this one.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Let them fight.
All these movies suffer the same issue. Cut the BS story and characters. I just want to watch my favorite monsters go at it. All the stuff with them is great, but you could probably cut half this movie and it'd be better.
If you're going to have poorly done characters the least you could do is have them die violently.
My review is too short? Who are you to say? You want reviews padded with nonsense like this movie? Sucjcjdjrjgicjsueicuur rhdjvjru ruehr. Ryrheheucufjdjdjfjcjcjcjfjfjfjcugufu rururufu furufucjdjduvj djrhfjfjfjdjruvurjrbfjchehvugu Monsters good. All fluff and no Godzilla make movie a dull watch.
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (2018)
Very good, but not SWO
I watched this before ever knowing about SWO. Something about the image of a strange pink munchkin wielding an also pink FN P90 grabbed my attention I guess. I didn't compare it to anything and enjoyed it a lot! If you are going into it thinking it will be SWO then you'd best manage your expectations. Treat this like a spin off series with all new characters. Yeah it probably should have just been called "Gun Gale Online" but I guess the guys in marketing thought it would be better to have some brand recognition.
Death Note: Desu nôto (2006)
FANTASTIC! Except for the ending...
I really didn't care for how this series ended. My advice is that you should definitely watch this, and then stop watching when it starts to go down hill. Never finish it. It is an amazing anime up til then. If you never feel it start to slip in terms of quality, then maybe the ending will be just fine for you.
