Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[Adolfo]

Going out now to see this with the kids

I saw this earlier and thought it was average at best. I felt Godzilla had nowhere near enough screen time and found the final fight underwhelming.
Bryan Cranston was holding the movie up was and killed off way to soon. I enjoyed the first half of the movie without godzilla much more than the second half with him so I'm not sure what that says. IMAX looked incredible as always but the film was just boring imo, I much prefered Gareth Edwards "Monsters" due to actually having cared for the characters.

5, maybe 6/10 for me.

Biojex and I don't believe you, do we Bio.

Saw it Thursday and thought it was good, but it didn't have enough Godzilla in it. Godzilla seemed like the ultimate house wrecker by annihilating the mutos future plans . It looked like a twisted love story with a 300ft c__kblocker. Cranston's finale should've been saved for the final act of the movie, because his presence was superior to every other actor easily . I give it a 8/10 or a B-.

Oh and I couldn't help but be distracted and disgusted because someone sitting in my vicinity kept busting out their ass. The smell was sick and that was unacceptable.

You must've accidently attended the 4D cinema.

What annoyed me most watching this movie was that every time something was going to happen we would be completely taken out of it and sent to a different scene and were then told via drab dialogue the monsters were on the move again. For the amount of time you're made to wait for something the final scene just wasn't enough imo.

This movie should have been called "Godzilla's surroundings and things going on around him".

I was waiting with a few friends whilst the credits were rolling and a guy who worked in the cinema came over to us and said "there isn't a scene after the credits if that's what you're waiting for". I said " I don't recall a scene in the movie".

I thought Monsters was a better film. Like you say, I cared way more for the central characters than I did any of the characters in Godzilla once Cranston got killed off.

Killing the momentum and cutting to another scene just as something was about to happen was so f___ing frustrating!!!! Really poor direction and something that just disconnected me from the film entirely.

They should never put a Taco Bell next to a movie theater. Should be against the law

 

[Irvy]

I wonder if the lack of Big G was a budget related thing? Probably shot their load on Cranston's salary

No we do not!

Well that was cool.
I loved the camera work, Edwards did a great job to put you in the action without shacky cam and give you mastershots when needed.
Didnt liked the cinematography, too clean but well thats the case with most movies now with digital.
The tone kinda bugged me, mostly dead serious wich i loved but with stupid blockbuster moments, the dog, the stadium Cheers (seriously?) are the first i remember.
Godzilla was cooler than i expected, he had a great presence, and yeah that last blow was freaking awesome.
I liked how the action went from the humans to the kaijus, you felt their presence as a force of nature all around the puny humans.
Mutos were awesome, i just love their designs, they feel like an organic version of all the mechs Aaron Beck, Christian Pierce designed.
And they were mean, you could feel the pain when they attacked Gojira. Really great foes.
Now my biggest problem is that i only cared for Cranston, his arc was really interresting and touching.
Killing him was the stupidiest thing to do because i didnt give a rats a$$ to what could happen to Ford or his wife and kid.
And after the hawaii attack you knew that he was going to be everywhere at the right time and survives, that was so forced everytime how he popped in and was accepted to do this or that...
They should had Cranston tag along with Watanabe, or kill Watanabe (wich had nothing to do but stare his mouth open) and have Cranston take lead yeah forced but at least it would have been cool to follow him have his revenge on muto, fear for his son when he has to accept to let him go on a mission, hell let Cranston be the one who burns the mutos eggs and have a confrontation with the female instead of his boring son (imagine him screaming at the muto who caused his wifes death).
Would have been very blockbusteresque but at least cool and badass.
Will return next week

Movie exceeded my expectations. Godzilla looked great. Cranston is amazing and why in the blue hell they killed him off early on I don't get.

No we do not!

 

[Rotfish]

Honestly, I've heard a couple people now say that this falls short specifically "as a Godzilla movie," but whenever I hear that all I can think is: it's actually better when judged as a Godzilla movie. I don't know when the other entries (excluding G54) became so sacred in cinema, but they're not what you would call quality films, guys. I say this as a big fan too.

Eh? Without any electronics working, how would you be able to do the targeting and take out an EMP bursting source the size of a building from miles away?

Analog technology.

 

[Biojex]

Which one am i

 

[Ash Housewares]

Wow. ATJ was so bland in this. Godzilla was cool but not enough to make up for how dull the humans were. Killing off the best character for absolutely no reason at all. It did nothing to advance the story. Ford didn't seem to care about anything. Probably the most disappointed I've been with a film in years.

Would it kill any of these monster movies to show a fight during the daytime? Godzilla had just one decent action sequence at the end while that idiot son of a Cranston kept gobbling up screentime. Still better than Zilla 98.

That's not saying much. But I agree that they should have showed a daytime fight. We got a slight glimpse of it before the door closed on them and I wish they had showed that fight scene at the very least.

 

[Adolfo]

Came back with my kids and my only wish is that they showed more Godzilla and extended the earlier attacks that were cut. Hope it does well enough for a sequel...I would love that...The effects were outstanding...near perfect when compared to say the Hobbit Smaug scenes.

 

[crows]

Which one am i

the ugly one

 

[ironwez20]

Muto should of been called Kim and kanye or edward and bella as they were very destructive to society.
