The only reason I have HBO Max is for their original content and the fact that I only pay $7.50 a month through Spectrum.
If I had to pay $15 dollars, I'd pass because I've seen nearly every movie and TV show they offer, outside of DC (although I'm catching up) and their original content pales in comparison to their content from 2000-2010ish, IMO. As for menus, I think HBO Max sucks. Their app is slow to load and slow to search. I thought WW1984 was garbage and didn't think much of Snyder's Justice League, either and now that I'm typing this, I'm not even sure why I'm paying $7.50 a month for this service. And yeah, Netflix is at the point where the cost is higher than their service. It seems like I spend more time browsing and looking for something to watch than actually viewing their content. If it continues to rise, I may dump it altogether. The Ad Free Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ is the best bang for the buck in my household. I watch Disney+ 10x as much as HBO, Netflix and Amazon combined. |

99.9% of my "ad free" Hulu viewing has been on a browser with NoScript. Started watching via the app and JESUS ****ING CHRIST how the **** do they get away with calling this ad free?!?! How many commercials come with the non ad-free???

So it appears this did well enough at the theaters+streaming to continue the Monsterverse in some form.
What's next and who directs is still up in the air... |

It was extremely disappointing. The entire "mechagodzilla" part was terrible. Also, the movie premise made no sense, even within its own self. And there were far too many "WTF?" issues (again, even within its own self).

Actually I think they screwed up by changing course after the first film. They should have entered the ring as traditional cheese or stayed the course with the more realistic approach. Anyone who watched any of the 2014 film and just came back for this one (a lot of people actually) didn't know what to think. The last two films played to the traditional Godzilla fanbase (with fan service) and got a big "meh" from the normies. I also think a good chunk (likely an hour or more) was left on the cutting room floor. A lot of scenes went from set up to payoff and you could tell there was more they just cut and it played silly and nonsensical. Even I didn't think they'd completely abandon reality and go full WWE/Toho with it but they did. It's unfortunate because I think the 2014 film set up a more "real" universe... |

Hollywood sucks at making Godzilla movies. It can't handle the conflict of science versus fiction in such movies. And that leads to terrible stories, a complete inability to maintain the integrity of the cinematic universe, and huge "plot" holes. |

There's nothing more "Hollywood" than a Godzilla movie. Plot holes in a monster movie about a goddamn radioactive iguana that shoots w/e the **** that is out of his mouth? Who also gets down with a giant monkey? PLOT HOLES YOU SAY??? NO FREAKING WAY?? You crack me up, man. |
