Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[jye4ever]

Nice fix

 

[MaulFan]

Btw, you were right, I had missed the big pour out of blood from Muto's neck the first time around.

I haven't even seen the movie yet and I know this ****, rookies

I believe he had a monster poster up as well.

Yes, it's a mutos poster.

 

[jye4ever]

I have bad vision, cut me some slack.

Btw, Muto's arms reminded me of Orga's hands.

 

[ironwez20]

Just saw it. I don't know what people are talking about. Godzilla arrives fairy early. What I do get is that the following ford is really dull but the fights were freaking awesome. They followed muto more than they did the big g and yea that annoyed me but I feel that if we get a sequel it will be better than this one.

Go see this and support the kings return. His scenes are marvelous!!!

 

[jye4ever]

Pretty much correct.

Godzilla is shown in the opening credits for christs sake.

 

[Biojex]

It's also NOT abnormal for a Godzilla movie to spend a lot of time focusing on Godzillas opponent. It happens in most of the movies actually. So also something that didn't bother me.

 

[jye4ever]

Box office results goes to show you that Umericans will accept no substitute (Pacific Rim), they want the REAL thing!

Ok just got back from GODZILLA. Here is my main thought..... I wish they gave us the movie the trailers advertised. I liked/loved the MUTOS... I did not love Godzilla being a "savior" of mankind. I would have preferred a "Bad" Godzilla movie... Just Godzilla and nothing else.

Having said that I still enjoyed it. My 8 and 5 year old both loved it and I think that that is what this film is... The perfect Godzilla film for a 5 - 10 year old. My son's was very happy that Godzilla was the good guy. When I was that young I would have liked that also...When I was younger I never liked Godzilla being considered the bad guy. It's strange that my 8 year old was so happy with the good guy angle since his fav. Godzilla film is the original.

Here is what I Loved

1. MUTOS Creatures. They were cool and well designed. They felt like a threat to humans and Godzilla.
2. The Golden Gate Bridge scene.... This was what I needed more of... Godzilla vs the Military. It is what IMO was sorely lacking. I would have enjoyed MUTOS vs Military also. I am talking Jets and tanks and other weapons. I know MUTO's knocked out Power (I do think that was a plot devise for budget... Military can't get close) but it would have been nice to see more.
3. Bryan Cranston.. Um More please.


What I liked
1. Godzilla's design was a nice update. While at times he did not look 100% real he still looked cool.
2. The Final Fight was great.. Not as Jaw dropping as many thought. But still cool.. I smiled a few times at what I seeing. I wish it took place in the day. Not that I couldn't see anything... I just liked the look of the one daytime fight scene we got. It looked better then the night IMO.
3. The first 20 min was great... I was fully into all of it.
4. There was enough Monster mayhem. HOWEVER... Like I said I wanted that Godzilla vs Military scene to be epic
5. Anytime Aaron Taylor-Johnson shared the screen with someone. With Olsen, Cranston, and that Asian child... All of those moments I thought he was good at. Which leads me to what I did not like

What I did not like.

1. Anytime Aaron Taylor-Johnson was not on screen with Olsen, Cranston, or the Asian child. He really was boring. Not enough emotion. He was just..... there.
2. I wish Godzilla used his arms more... They were a little too dead at his sides most of the time. He did use them... Just not enough IMO.
3. Godzilla is the good guy and really nothing but a good guy. It ruined the tone of the film that the trailers promised us.
4. Ken Watanabe. Nothing wrong with his performance. He just was a little too smart about these characters and he gave some of the most eye rolling dialogue about Godzilla being a Balance for nature. I just thought it was silly. I would have preferred that nobody knew what the hell they had on their hands other then a monster they tried to kill back in 1954. I mean as soon as he finds out Godzilla is coming he Knows that he is coming to stop the MUTOS... That was the dumbest part of the film for me and every time he opened his mouth he was saying things that he in no way should have known...


So I think I would rate this a 7 out of 10..... However if this was not a Godzilla film and had another monster instead of Godzilla fighting MUTOs creatures then I would only give it a 5. A little Godzilla goes a long way for me.

I actually like Cloverfield more then this film.... But I love Cloverfield. If Cloverfield had Godzilla instead of that monster, was not a first person film, and had a little more Godzilla then what the cloverfield monster had then it would be just about the perfect Godzilla film for me. I thought it did a much better job of setting a tone of what we would do if we came into contact with a "real" monster.

I did think Godzilla was better then Pacific Rim... But who know how much I would have liked that if you took out the robots and replaced them with Godzilla

Just saw it. Think I hyped myself too much on it. It was a good movie, solid 7/10, but I expected it to be more. The leads aside from Cranston are ****. The MUTOs were awesome though and really stole the movie. Really loved how they were animals that existed on a plane above us. Definite forces of nature. Godzilla was cool too, but...Oddly portrayed. Not at all like the trailers lead you to believe. Everyone is also weirdly reverent of him, especially Watanabe's character. I find myself wishing he was portrayed more like the MUTOs were, and had at least one scene where he actually fought the military and the navy. Hopefully that will come in the next movie, where without the MUTOs around he is not as nice as people think he is, until something else diverts his attention.

100% agree with what is in bold. Give me that one great Godzilla vs Military scene and I would have no problem giving this a 8 or 8.5 or even a 9.

As it is it's good... Just not great. But I think I was destined to be disappointed. I have loved Godzilla ever since I can remember... So unless it was a "perfect film" I was probably going to be let down... The Hype was just too much

I think I might enjoy this more with repeat viewings on Blu Ray and the Hype wears off...

I will see this again in theaters though.

 

[Adolfo]

If the film was like 80-90 minutes long like the older flicks there would be less complaints

It would have been a tighter film.... BUT I would still stand by my comments.

Fair enough, I even wrote in spoilers to you that if you are seeking an evil Godzilla you would not like this.

I also feel like this movie was made as a safe kids movie, people are even evacuated and father carrying little cute daughter just 50 feet away from tsunami tucks into a store and survives.

The switch from the tone of the trailers was so drastic that when the halo jump scene arrived with the 2001 music it seemed out of place.

Umm, what else. Night battle was needed for atomic breath attacks to look great

Maybe the sequel he will be naughty Godzilla.

I still enjoyed it overall.

 

[The Josh]

I like Godzilla being "good" I think the other way would have sucked.

 

[jye4ever]

I like Godzilla being "good" I think the other way would have sucked.

Sounds reasonable.

I much rather have a naughty girl than a naughty Godzilla.

Although I have this thing for Attack helicopters and tanks, I wish there were more of those in the movie.

I agree.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I like Godzilla being "good" I think the other way would have sucked.

Why??

The more I think about the more I see the filns flaws. But this is what i talked about months ago about not getting to get too hyped up about it. The trailers certainly implied a different movie.

Had this not starred Godzilla it probably gets an average rating. But as it compares to the Toho films, the Godzilla scenes are great. I loved his personality and power. Wish he was more volatile to humans. Hopefully a potential sequel ups the ante but has more Godzilla.

I think I could have handled a good Godzilla if the Military and the people were more scared of him and viewed him as a threat. Even though he may not want anything to do with us. Instead you have Ken Watanabe making sure he tells everyone that Godzilla is a "savior". I really could have done without his character.

I like Godzilla being "good" I think the other way would have sucked.

Wow.... Sucked huh?? Go back to your Hobbit Hole


Like I said to Jye... Good would have been fine had they not beaten us over the head with it..

But I really believe that this was made for kids... Which is fine... I just wish they would have advertised it that way.

Because the tone and the film they did advertise looked killer and not at all like it would have "sucked"

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I'm pretty sure Godzilla can't feel nukes, bullets and missiles. Even if he doesn't like being shot at, he doesn't have the energy to focus his attack on two different enemies. Also, I'm pretty sure he created a tsunami, took out a bridge and collapsed multiple skyscrapers. Sure, he might have only done so in order to kill the MUTO, but that's the point. Godzilla doesn't have the time nor the energy to focus his attack on the humans as well as the MUTO. At the end of the film, he retreated back to the ocean looking to feast on plutonium in order to regain his strength. He may very well come back in the sequel to stop the humans from mining his food source.

What ever makes you say he can't feel nukes? Did you not see him react to getting shot when he surfaced by I the golden gate bridge? He clearly was feeling it.

And it wouldn't take time or energy to destroy some tanks or ships. Not for Godzilla. It never has in the old movies and with this powerhouse it certainly wouldn't have.

100% agree... Like I said in my little mini review had Godzilla not been in this and another monster took his place this would have been average.

I don't get the Sucked statement. The Original is a great film and Cloverfield did it really well (Basically a Godzilla film).

It was still fun. Like I said my children loved it and I am not going to lie that did effect my enjoyment for the better because I enjoyed watching them enjoy it

I still loved it. But nostalgia was a factor. It was great to see Godzilla come so alive. And the fight scenes. That ending. Wow
