Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[MitchF1GTR]

Godzilla's DNA mixed with a plant.

Uh. Was that a giant flower monster?

Biollante turned into one hell of a monster. The last great Japanese Godzilla film imo. I love that Godzilla. One he comes out of the volcano it's so epic.

Agreed!

*heard enough, runs to buy Biollante movie.

 

[guyverfan]

Biollante was a pretty cool monster.

If you look at the overall design, the majority of his mass is in his legs, so he doesn't need huge feet to support himself, plus the posture of his legs, it's not like they're straight up and down, the bend would help distribute the weight, plus the tail. I have no problems with the final foot design, I was concerned when it seemed like the feet could look like this.


The overall mass and build seem much closer to this design, even the feet.

Those don't look like the feet he ended up with; I'm not sure what that pic is all about. He has feet in that pic. Why they got rid of those, who knows? But tail or not, I can't imagine him being able to walk with what they gave him for feet in the movie. Imagine your feet being cut off and having to walk on stumps. Feet with their toes and tendons and ankle joints allow bipedals to walk, run, lunge, jump, etc. Without them we'd walk like we were on stilts. Such a huge design flaw, defending it is pointless. He wouldn't of been able to do 99% of the maneuvers in the film with the stumps they gave him regardless of his tail. It puzzles me the decisions that Hollywood makes.

Oh, and he'd swim better with feet acting as flippers too!

is there anything after credits ?

I really enjoyed this film both times I saw it, but I think I can pinpoint why people would be disappointed. The trailers and promo materials advertised this as an apocalyptic, return to the roots, anti-nuclear, horror film. Even when the MUTOs leaked, it was still possible for Godzilla to be the greater of two evils and turn on the city at the end, much like in the Heisei era (1984-95).

Had they sold this as GODZILLA VS. THE MUTOS and played up the superheroic angle, more people would happily accept it for what it is. Even then, they could still have trimmed five minutes of the Aaron Johnson scenes from the last act and added five more minutes of uninterrupted monster carnage. As is, Godzilla is a peripheral character until the very end. Even understanding wanting to build suspense, the entire plot is still built around the MUTOS, who have plenty of facetime, while Big G is only treated like the Deus ex Machina calvary. Perhaps they didn't want audiences to think this would be another PACIFIC RIM?

As a fan of the franchise, I'll be the first to tell you there are some pretty bizarre, almost unwatchable films in this series, not even counting the 1998 flick. Compared to GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN, and the highly derivative and baffling GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORAH (91), Edwards' film is a masterpiece (though I still enjoy those other two for what they are.)

At the end of the day, I find it amusing the most recent Superman film is a depressing disaster flick while Godzilla gets the more optimistic superhero film.

I agree with you... trailers really had me ready for a different kind of film.


And LOL about the Superman/Godzilla comparison.. I agree... I think it's because Superman killed more people then Godzilla and the Mutos

On second look, it seems like Godzilla even went out of his way to avoid major destruction in San Francisco.

I pointed out before how he seemed so delicate with the bridge and held onto the supports carefully. After they started firing at him, everything went downhill.

Well summed up. We got our kaiju vs. kaiju movie with Pacific Rim and I was really hoping this would be a apocalyptic disaster movie like the trailers advertised it as.
