I have a hard time taking; songs learned from ancient plants that psychically cause kaiju to increase in power, at face value.

Wouldn't call it Ex Machina since it's not like certain Showa movies when Godzilla just pulls a power out of nowhere.
It's exactly like that though. Rodan lands on Godzilla and with no explanation just gives him a power up. How is it different from Godzilla pulling powers out of his butt in the Showa movies? Rodan literally pulls a power out of his ass and saves Godzilla.

That's what I would call glossing over the plot, and there is nothing wrong with doing it. But there are plenty of Godzilla films, and other Kaiju films, that manage to take the subject matter a bit more seriously.

Noooo... I don't think either of us love it or hate it enough for it to be that; and eabaker and I definitely wouldn't be on the same page if that were the case...

Congratulations. You have found another movie.

Naw, as with GvsMGII, my feelings about Last Crusade aren't strong enough to really work up any kind of emotion over.
