Chuk has been dethroned for worst movie opinion lately, so we can no longer make this assumption.

Godzilla part wasn't bad, it was everything around it. They killed off Cranston too fast, the soldier was a pretty shit actor, the repeated decision to fly aircraft around giant moving EMP beacons so we could watch them crash made me dislocate my eyeballs from over-rolling them.
I mean it wasn't a terrible movie or anything. But people made it seem like an actual good movie, and it really, really wasn't. If anything what modern movies have proven is that if you take a fantastical premise and a well written script where everything else is grounded in reality it can be really compelling. If you don't surround that premise with good writing and acting it comes off either terrible or hammy.

It's pretty obvious Americans are just utterly incapable of making a real action monster movie. Outside of Aliens, I can't think of one worth a fucking shit over 3 decades. They always stuff in the same formula over and over: 90+ minutes of generic feels from daddy, mommy, and kiddies in a crisis/comic relief, soft porn for tweens ala xformers, then ~10 minutes of actual monsters.
I would LOVE to see the absolute total fucking mockery and molestation that would be made of something like Evangelion.

I'll be damned if Evangelion doesn't contain more daddy and mommy issues than the whole last 3 decades of fail monster movies combined.

lol i thought the same.if you remove shinji from the series,99% of daddy (mostly) and mommy issues would disappear.
Lol touche, but those are different kinds of issues - Eva's would actually be VERY interesting to explore onscreen during an apocalypse. I'd be all over that. Modern monster movies use exclusively the 'mommy, daddy, kiddies have to find each other in the crisis11!!!1!!!! for hugs n kisses' trite.
An Evangelion movie actually done right would be mostly character interactions, but NOT the kind in this Godzilla trash. Hollywood would rape Shinji's story into PG-13 oblivion.

The best Evangelion movie you're ever going to get was Pacific Rim. And that's because it removed all the fucking whiny fluff from Evangelion and replaced it with awesome.
