Comparing GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE to GODZILLA MINUS ONE is like comparing an apple to an orange. The former is big dumb fun where the monsters kick butt, and the other is serious filmmaking...the entire Godzilla franchise in only two movies!
The Japanese are shown in the village attack doing things like running (probable if they were unarmed), trying to surrender, or sitting quietly waiting to be killed when mostly they'd either fight to the death or commit suicide. And that they don't gun down Pvt Witt on sight towards the end, instead of most of them wanting him to surrender wasn't exactly Japanese behavior towards Americans (or vice versa). Incidentally, by that point in the Guadalcanal campaign, the Japanese could barely feed themselves, let alone POWs they'd just torture for information and then kill anyway. There are mutilated American corpses shown fairly early on.
You Trumpanzees throw around "dictator" without understanding what one is. If Biden IS one, Trump would have been stood up against a wall and shot.
John Wayne was 52 in 1959...not exactly in his prime, but far from "old" and still a handsome man. And the Mexican guy, though comic relief, does briefly participate in the final gunfight.
Widmark didn't want to be in the movie and Wayne rubbed him the wrong way, end of story. The OP was joking.
BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE GODFATHER II, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and ALIENS would beg to differ. However, if anyone had to go and make a sequel to PSYCHO at all, it's the best anyone could have done.
I did, and thought it was the best possible sequel to the original PSYCHO if anyone had to go and make one at all.
Not while BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN exists...however, this IS a worthy sequel to PSYCHO, with Perkins as good or even better than in the original film.
GODZILLA VS KONG got there first. However, Tom Cruise made a genuinely good movie.
Grimes still flunks the basic test of manhood for the 19th century: He doesn't finish what he started when he leaves the cattle drive to try and play gunfighter...something he doesn't have the ability or willingness to kill to do successfully, which isn't a bad thing. Staying with the cattle drive would have been finishing what he started. He shows moral courage in making the homesteaders bury the dead gunfighters who died for them but he's ineffective as a gunfighter because he's just a scared kid playing around with something very deadly.
