Movies like this only work if it is dramatic and takes itself seriously. Godzilla comes to mind.
Who wants to watch a movie about a dragon apolcalypse directed by Taikita Waititi? It would be unwatchable pedophile feces.
Literally all Godzilla movies take themselves seriously besides a handful of the very original ones from the ‘60s where Godzilla is dancing with the kiddies and doing kung fu and talking to Angruirus with subtitles. And those ones suck.
Ok you don’t know what you’re saying stop talking to me now and have a nice day.
I was giving an example of movies with a ridiculous premise that take themselves seriously. Godzilla is one of them. If you wanna maintain your reality headcannon that Godzilla movies are all silly bullshit like power rangers then go for it. Eat shit.

Black person it's clear that your idea of Godzilla is based on the American renditions and/or Shin Godzilla. Most Kaiju films are cheesy. have a nice day.

It’s clear you’re posting just to be a gay homosexual and talking out of your butthole.
Of fricking course I do, I still have my theater ticket somewhere.
I should rewatch this.
Btw, did anyone ever see the explosive bolt on the ground? I have watched the DVD countless times, freeze-framing and all, but I have never been able to spot it. I have bad eyes, but I am not blind.
>"The Best Movie You Never Saw"
I hate these kind of bait names, it always works because the thousands of mouth breathers that have seen it can't help but comment so.
I was about 14 when this came out and it was popular with other kids in high school but it might be a more generational thing.
GC game was great, got to play as the dragons and frick shit up.
My country's dub is very funny if you you the original voices, because they gave McConaghey a very manly, gruff voice whereas in reality he sounds like a texan queer.
Frick posts like this on Cinemaphile make me feel old. How in gods name can people not know about Reign Of Fire? We used to meme on this years ago, but it's actually kino.
Before a Time To Kill made him a household name MM was in a bunch of low budget dark thrillers and it's always been what he's best at imo.
Matthew McConaughey had just graduated college and planned on moving to California when he auditioned for this movie. He read for the part of a young motorcyclist who rescues Jenny at the end and rides off with her into the sunset (a role that was eventually eliminated). Before he left, writer / producer / director Kim Henkel asked if he knew of anyone who might be right for the role of the villain, Vilmer. McConaughey suggested two friends from acting class and left. He was about to get in his truck and drive to California when he stopped and realized, "What was I thinking?" He immediately turned around and asked Henkel, "Hey, can I audition for Vilmer?" Henkel gave him a spoon from the kitchen, told him to pretend it's a knife and tasked him with scaring his secretary. Then, in the middle of the audition, he told him to pretend his mechanical leg was malfunctioning. McConaughey was so convincing that he won the role of Vilmer on the spot.

I find it more believable knowing that this is a type of strategy employed by some organism -- feeding and reproducing in swarms before going dormant -- but I may have been reading between the lines
>the world ends >luckily you end up in the underground Cinemaphile bunker with your mates >you put on tongue-in-cheek adaptations of blockbuster movies for the kids born into the dark apocalyptic future who will never know film
favorite scene by far
>you put on tongue-in-cheek adaptations of blockbuster movies for the kids born into the dark apocalyptic future who will never know film
and you say you wrote it when they ask
This is the best film about dragons ever made, and had the greatest death of any character ever put to screen, and I'm fricking TIRED of pretending otherwise.
yes because I am not a zoomer
It really is interesting seeing them dig up movies everyone has seen and show it off like they found some long forgotten hidden gem.
FBPB
Yes, everyone knows about that movie
I learned about it today
you think that's good, bet this will blow your mind.
Yeah and it was God-level kino. The part where the helicopter shows up gives me Goosebumps to this day TBQFHWYF.
Game of Thrones at home
kid Joffrey is actually in it
Huh, cool.
I love how the premise of this movie is pure shlock but it takes itself completely seriously, like this is something that could genuinely happen.

Most japanese godzilla movies don't take themselves very seriously and are enjoyable.

No they don't lol, Godzilla is like the Rambo movies were the first one played it straight and the sequels got progressively more ridiculous.

The stupid part was how many dragons there were. And how fast they spread.
>Literally just one dragon Chad woke up one day and decided to repopulate his species
>Everywhere he goes, his children mass propagate
Fricking based
More movies should take themselves this seriously.
You can thank Joss Whedon for preventing movies like this from getting made.
Of fricking course I do, I still have my theater ticket somewhere.

You mean listen to it?
JoBlo did a video on it as "The Best Movie You Never Saw"

Yes I watched the best movie of all time, and put 400+ hours into the game, why do you ask?
Watched this the other night at a buddy's house. They had never seen it. McConaughey is fricking jacked in it.
unrecognizable

People who weren't even born when it came out can not only post here, but can also almost be done with college.
They should be on reddit with the rest of the cucks.
There's a terrible video game based on this.
My mom got me that game once as a surprise because she saw the cover and thought it looked cool. I miss her
Yeah. I saw it in the cinema. You little homosexual.
shut up, old man

Time to Kill sucks
What?? Dude SLJ machine gunning those dudes in the courthouse was amazing.
that's a lot of text and nobody's gonna read it
Zoomer thread. Why don't you homosexuals go make your own Cinemaphile?
Yeah but I watched it when it came out and didn’t know who any of them were
Not only do I remember seeing the movie, I remember playing the game too
look like shit
I'd rather not
Unreal game.
moron.
>every film used to have a ps1 game and 90% of the time the game was better than the film
I have the DVD and this game on Xbox. I hated how long it took to unlock the playable dragon story.
yeah this movie was awesome I rented it so many times
What did Van Zan actually do wrong? Nothing I tell ya
>do wrong
he thought he could kill a dragon with an axe.... in mid air.
He didn't think that would work he just wanted to go out in style
Everyday I become more and more aware of how much this is a zoomer board now.
yes and it was shit, visually boring, genre pandering shit.
the plot was fricking moronic

the dragons didn't frick everything up it was us nuking ourselves
Joffrey was in this too
yes, it was already established
>the world ends

and you say you wrote it when they ask
felt like a scifi original but with a budget and real actors
very strange movie honestly
Why didn't they use nukes when the dragons first showed up?
I always thought that Godzilla movie with Brian Cranston really ripped off the opening scene of this movie
I wish the movie har actually been about World War Dragon. Instead of taking place 20 years after it.
The effects in this movie were actually surprisingly good and helped it be quite entertaining

I loved DragonnHeart, but other than that one, I agree.
