Ready Player One...very unique and fun movie to watch. Wondered how much in licensing fee they had to pay to include so many characters and likenesses from movies and video games. Thought the creator Halliday’s life was a bit sad and lonely. One thing I did not like about this movie was trying to make old actors look young by placing a wig on top of their heads. Could have tried to morph the actors like they did for a young Tony Stark in Iron Man 3.

And speaking of Godzilla, the second trailer for the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters is out and in my humble opinion, it looks awesome:

They share the same universe, monsterverse. There is an upcoming Godzilla vs Kong movie coming up as well.

Godzilla looks like he put on a few pounds. ;o) But it seems like we're going to see Mothra and Rodan as well in this next film. Kind of like a remake of the old Godzilla film where the three of them take on Ghidorah. Wonder of Gamora will make an appearance or not.

Kind of like a remake of the old Godzilla film where the three of them take on Ghidorah. Wonder of Gamora will make an appearance or not. You mean Gamera the giant turtle-like creature? People have been wanting a Godzilla vs Gamera movie for ages. But Gamera belongs to a different studio, Daiei, while Godzilla belongs to Toho Studios. The problem is that both studios can't agree on who will win in a Godzilla vs Gamera fight. As for Godzilla, he has always been bulky, that is part of his design appeal I guess. He is a actually slightly slimmed down here compared to the 2014 fim. While King Ghdiorah the three-headed dragon has always been the big G's arch-nemesis throughout the different Godzilla series. The big boss that Godzilla fights in the final showdown, so-to-speak. Rodan is an appealing creature but Mothra is usually considered the second most popular "kaiju" (Japanese giant monster) after Godzilla. Part of the reason is that unlike the other kaijus, Mothra has never been depicted as hostile to humans, when she cause destruction, she does it inadvertently as she battles Godzilla or the other monsters.

Yup, the turtle creature. Thought they made a movie with the two battling to a draw...yeah, here it is ( godzillafanon.wikia.com/wiki/Gamera_vs._Godzilla_(1972_film) ) It was tough knowing who to cheer on while watching this, eventually I wanted Godzilla to win had they actually finished the battle.

Yeah I am aware of that movie, but that is not considered canon and both studios tend to downplay that movie. So we are still waiting for a real Godzilla vs Gamera movie.

Awe, f@*#ing great! Just saw an image from Aquaman and Nicole Kidman was holding a child. She suppose to be Aquaman’s mom? I like her as an actress, but to be part of the comic book genre just doesn’t seem right. Almost as bad as Cate Blanchett playing Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. Great actress, not the right fit.

Yeah, I could see your point. Having actors of that caliber showed up in a comic book film could be a little odd. Kinda like if Daniel Day-Lewis or Dustin Hoffman suddenly turns up in a superhero movie I suppose, it would just seem strange. Then again, highly acclaimed actors have appeared in the comic book genre, so you never know, it could work. I mean, Marlon Brando played Superman's dad in the 1978 film. And remember Jack Nicholson played Joker? The 1989 Batman movie has received mixed and uneven reviews, but Nicholson nailed the joker role pretty well. The late Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight. Gary Oldman played a pretty convincing Commissioner Gordon. And Batman Christian Bale, is a himself a Oscar-winning artist. So it could work, if done right.

Speaking of, so was Drew Barrymore whom some would find stranger in a comic book movie.

True, and I think the difference for me is I've seen Nicole Kidman (and Cate Blanchett) in many movies previously, but not much of Marlo Brando, Jack Nicholson, Christian Bale nor Heath Ledger going into their prospective roles. So in a way I already have "typecast", if you will, Kidman and Blanchett...and comic book was not in it. Speaking of which, I was surprised to see Anthony Hopkins play Odin in Thor and thought he played it quite well. Maybe if I hadn't had a sneak peak of Kidman and Blanchett before their comic book movies my opinion would have been different. Just as I was surprised to see Robin Wright in the credits of Wonder Woman...who'd a thunk Jenny was a bad ass Amazonian general! She was in Batman Forever over 20 years ago... Speaking of, so was Drew Barrymore whom some would find stranger in a comic book movie. Forgot about that...and there is a reason. Hated Batman Forever...worst of all the 7 Batman movies since the 80s. Drew Barrymore was in a comic book movie? Oh, yeah...she was Two-Face's "good" girl.

The badness of that movie...it's been ridiculed to hilarious effect. Btw, Nicole Kidman was in that, so Aquaman is not her first comic book movie, although I won't blame her if she does not want to remember her role in Batman: Batman and Robin is even worse, and it's been absolutely roasted:

Look at Gwyneth Paltrow. Now the best she can do is an extra in Iron Man movies?
