Godzilla (and other kaiju) movie reviews

[Destroyer]

I died laughing at the Terror of Mechagodzilla review. That one sounded like it was trolling us the fans.

[Rody]

*reads reviews*

FACE... PALM.

What else can I say?

[Living Corpse]

There are many reactions fans have to reviews like these but of them two I've noticed seem to be the most common.

1. The fans find it F'N funny and get a good laugh.

or

2. The fans are angry and disappointed.

[Goji]

I don't see why any of these would make somebody "angry". That just seems like such an overblown reaction to something so silly. Seriously, some of these "reviews" are hilarious!

[edgaguirus]

Some of them are. Those errors tell me the reviewers didn't pay that much attention to the movies, if they did watch them.

Yeah, really. It's really funny how angry some people get at trivial things like this.

All right, I'll bite. Why do reviews like these and Ebert's get me in such a tizzy?

1) They mislead the readers. Imagine that you were someone wanting to get into the franchise. You wonder where to start, and not knowing of TK, you look up some reviews. Unfortunately some of the reviews you stumble upon are by this joker, and now your interest in the franchise has been lowered. You still have some interest so you decide to look up the first film of the franchise which fans praise, but you stumble upon a review by a highly respected film critic (guess who) and after reading you end up deciding that the franchise isn't worth your time.

2) They're skreeonk half-assed to high heaven and hell. When I was in high school, I had to do film reviews for some of my english courses. If I handed in anything similar to these, I would have skreeonk failed the assignment because they'd be riddled with so many errors my teachers would question whether or not I was skreeonk paying any attention at all. These clowns are getting paid for their work, so I skreeonk expect they put in a tad bit more effort in doing their skreeonk job.

Every Ebert review I've read sounds like he fell asleep in the middle of the movie and made up what he missed, then he goes on in tangents about things that have nothing to do with the movie.

[Living Corpse]

Where is he even getting half of these none existent monsters?

[HayesAJones]

Huh. Well, this guy's the expert. Obviously, everything I know about Godzilla is wrong.

Oh well.
