Legendary Pictures' 2014 Godzilla Reboot - Directed by Gareth Edwards - Part 4

[TX85]

Reading the comments from Japan one thing I found interesting was just how similiar they react to movies like we do over here. Seriously...if you hadn't told me the comments were from Japan I would have just assumed it was american reactions.

Reminds me of when there's anime versions of American characters and especially comic book characters then fans freak out just by seeing anime Spidey or Wolverine

 

[Lencho01]

Haha I like how the Japanese fans were talking trash on poor Ken Wantanabe!

Yeah, it's like "Oh, here's the go-to Asian actor to market the film to us!"

Any extra new footage or is it just Japanese subtitled?

People liked Reno in Godzilla 1998 ? AFAIC, he was ridiculous the whole French team was ridiculous for that matter.

Aw come on!

You're telling me that you didn't even like his Elvis impression?!

John Wayne..Although I may be thinking of The Professional

The reason why American studios like him is because he's an Oscar nominated actor. One of the few Japanese actors who got that sort of recognition. I think there's a lot of weight there, and the studios know that. That and most Japanese actors NOW are not trained in English. The talent is kinda sparse now.

In fact, the Kotoku had an article on how the Japanese film industry is extremely stagnant, and mostly soap opera actors are dominating the industry. If you notice, we haven't heard about a great Japanese film in a long time. Meanwhile the Koreans are destroying the competition.

The Last Samurai's Ken Wantanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada are pretty much Hollywoods go to Japanese actors.

Both of them are good actors. Some Asian film stars aren't interested in apperaing in Hollywood films because they find the roles too stereotypical or because they don't get to play the lead.

 

[Octoberist]

That too. Even Asian directors have a hard time breaking in. Look at John Woo's filmography in America. He was so progressive in Hong Kong. A game changer.

Then in America, he was tasked with the most generic movies. I love Face-Off and Hard Target, but they could've been directed by anyone.

I'm sad enough to post this.

Poor Jean Reno.

Wantanabe gets a little more screen time. That's the only thing I noticed.

The Godzilla 1998 soundtrack is a fantastic time capsule, similar to the Batman Forever soundtrack.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Still better than today's "music".

Godzilla is the King of Monsters, so clearly he should use the Pedigree!!

With Motorhead's Bow Down To The King playing in the background?

That Diddy/Jimmy Page song over the end credits was tight though.

All about The Wallflowers song though.

 

[redhawk23]

All about The Wallflowers song though.

I felt so betrayed when I got older and finally discovered that that track was a Bowie cover.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

If I don't see Epic "scale" puns and "Roaring good time!"-type lines from critics, I'm going to be pissed.

I kinda felt the same. But it's probably still one of the best cover songs I've ever listened to.

 

[terry78]

You won't be disappointed.

Or like someone from Good Morning America said regarding Zilla 98:
"IT'S BIG"
"IT'S LOUD"
"IT'S FUN"

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

What about that epic video with Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page in the building jamming out while Zilla tore through the city?

i think the worst thing that came out of Woo's American stuff was McG.
