It was badass but yeah, some people aren't going to like War of the Worlds/Jurassic Park angle the movie takes.

Me, I personally liked it better than all these superhero blockbusters that look the same.




EDIT: Also, I just saw this.....

Just saw it, was a good movie. The creatures didn't give 2 cents about humans running around, we were like insects to them.

Having said that, this was a weak era Godzilla, he needed to lose some weight, dude was fat like shaq. They never explained where godzilla popped out of though, or at least I missed it.

Sound effects were awesome.

The monster scenes were great, but the human characters were dull as heck. The main military general came off as one apathetic dude, and so were most of the lead cast. The lead dude should have been one of the nurses, dude was bland.

I wish Godzilla would have been more challenged in the fights. Never did it seem like he was in dire straits, dude was just messing around until he decided to vomit his atomic breath into that final MUTO.

Also the fights were constantly interrupted by non fighting scenes.

Like someone else said I didn't care for the human part of this movie, since it was done so poorly IMO.

But the action made up for them, and it had some incredibly apocalyptic visuals and landscapes, specially the parachute drop amidst the chaos.

So does this movie play more like a horror/suspense-style action film? That's what keeps being hinted at when I read reviews. I've read that a lot of the action is from character POV, which sounds fvcking incredible.

It was so boring I fell asleep twice. The only reason I woke up was for the cool Godzilla fight scenes at the end. Other than that I was bored as hell. The story was so wack. Didn't care if the guy died or about his wife and kid. This movie rates about a 3/10.

This movie let me down somewhat. The ending was awesome and I liked the MUTO creatures.

It didn't really have any of the terror or danger that the trailers made seem was the tone for the entire movie once the monsters were around. I thought this would be a game changer in that regard, Cloverfield was better for that but the POV cam footage no doubt helped the scenerio

The human characters besides Cranston were dull and kinda paint-by-numbers.

It was a huge disappointment for me...

3/4's of the movie is average at best people build up to stuff happening at the end with Godzilla, and even the action was lame. I almost fell asleep 3/4's the way in. Its unbelievably boring imo. most of it is real lame people filler. None of it made me care about any of them whatsoever either.

the way they did the fight scenes sucked too. I mean the fight choreography. the destruction and scale was good.

I could write a few paragraphs on this but i'd have to spoil a lot.

i saw it in 3D and on the 3D end i'd say its average.

this is one of the most overhyped movies i've seen in a long time.

5.5/10

It was missing something.

I went with my girlfriend, and she was hyped to see it, bugging me from the day it came out to go with her, and she ended up falling asleep in the middle of the movie. I guess that gives you an indication that the human part of the story was unnecessary and boring like most have already commented.

The monster fights were epic, effects were cool, etc. I didn't really like the look of Godzilla at the start, but it slowly grew on me. I guess it is more in line with the looks of the old Godzilla's in Japanese movies, but I still might even prefer the previous American one.
In some ways it felt as if the current Godzilla was too expressive and almost human like with certain reactions and facial expressions. Was almost amusing in a way.
But like I said, the look grew on me.

Decent movie when it did what it was supposed to; stick to action and monsters. I would have been fine with a similar amount of human story if it was at least well done, which it wasn't. Worth watching though.

Movie was ****ing EPIC. Best movie I've seen this year by far.

There wasn't a dull point in the movie for me. I was invested in all the set up and introductory stuff they had to do. And the fact that they teased the monster fights made it that much more satisfying.

I don't understand the complaints of "Too much people stuff! More Godzilla!" That's just stupid. The fact that the army didn't trust Zilla to take out the MUTOs and didn't want nature to take control of the situation was the driving force of why the end fights were so satisfying.

I thought this was done the best possible way it could have happened. And there was PLENTY of action. GONNA RATTLE OF SCENES BELOW SO STOP IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED IT YET.

- Male MUTO breaks out.
- Male MUTO and Godzilla fight in Hawaii.
- Female MUTO breaks out of Area 51.
- Female MUTO rampages through Vegas.
- Awesome bridge scene
- Male MUTO and female counterpart meet in Cali and make babies.
- Godzilla ****s them up.

And damnnnnn that fire breath sequence at the end was so awesome.

9/10 movie for me. Great stuff.

~primetime~
05-18-2014, 01:09 PM
Yep there were two big "tease" scenes where Zilla and the monsters engaged and they would cut to another scene with the actual fighting taking place on a TV screen in the background.

I understand why they did that, it did ultimately make the final fight scene better. But it is frustrating during the movie when it happened.

It was like the equivalent to a TV show cutting to commercial right before the main drama.



Movie was fckin awesome though, if you actually fell asleep in this thing then you just weren't up for it to begin with.

I agree. I don't see how so many people say this movie was boring. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time and there were so many scenes that gave me chills. I guess people would have just preferred a 80 minute movie with a Godzilla reveal in the first 5 minutes and mayhem from beginning to end like a michael bay movie or something :confusedshrug:

Same here. I was constantly at the edge of my seat. Not one thing about this movie was boring. People must have very short attention spans.

In a really bland and one dimensional way.

I think back to Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor disaster film The Impossible, where it brought out the human elements of dealing with a Tsunami in a realistic way, but Godzilla on the other hand, a monster film which not only dealt with a tsunami but also radioactivity, earthquakes and the loss of loved ones, brought to it a seriousness normally reserved for the loss of a money wallet.

The people stuff was complete fail.

You see BreakingBad guy and are like cool, next thing you know he dies where this shallowly introduced character, his son from the military(so cliche since everyone likes our troops, right?), takes over. You then follow him and they try to create this family bond where you care about them by showing the wife and son for awhile which went nowhere. I don't even know the point of that asian kid from the subway and him later finding his parents. i guess that was another lame attempt at making the audience try to like the main character. In some of these movies theres research build up but with Godzilla its shallow where they get all they know from a dead guys notes/son. everything people stuff was a complete boring failure. How anyone could find that interesting, or them endearing, i'll never get...and when thats the first 3/4's of the movie its got issues.

Godzilla was too good. like he went out of his way to get around humans blocking him and them shooting at him, or almost acknowledging each person as his ally. i'm surprised i didn't see Godzilla helping people get up at some point.

the fights were so lumbering and very model like imo. i found the 2 bad guys vs Godzilla very lacking. it was like a ADD fight where one would go after something else. everything was a slo mo club too. maybe my memory is off but didn't Godzilla have a flurry of swings move and was quick for his size?

I feel like the only thing this movie did well was showing the scale of these monsters in relation to buildings, ships, bridges, etc. It seemed to emphasize that a lot and it looked good.

I don't go into movies trying to dislike them but i do find these big marketed movies get a lot of peple buying into the hype more than the movie. with Godzilla it is probably branding too. but in terms of the movie for people to pretend like its so good and how we're not seeing things right, i don't think so :no:

There's a huge difference between slowly building up to a big reveal, and simply not showing the monster until the movie is almost over. King Kong is a perfect example of what you're describing. He doesn't appear onscreen until the 47 minute mark (1933 version), but once he does, he's at the center of events until the movie ends. That's anticipation/payoff. We don't get that with this film at all. Godzilla appears in Honolulu, he looks like he's about to get into it with one of the Motu and then...cut to a shot of a kid watching the events in TV?! And then he's back in the water again? Wtf was that? Godzilla should have been featured more after his big reveal, period. I can understand not showing him before, but after? We got terribly forced melodrama instead of the monster we all came to see.

yeah i thought King Kongs have done a good job with people build up to the monster stuff. you see their exploratory set up for their journey's shaping up, you get to know the characters quite a bit, you get to see the ominous land they go to, and its a completely different level than what we got with this Godzilla movie.

I don't get how people defending Godzilla can honestly say they were attached to any of the characters at all, or can honestly pretend any of that first 1/2 of the movie was very interesting. Its ridiculous to even try and defend any of that when it was so shallowly done.

i'm sure Godzilla will do well based on the brand alone. when you add the branding to the marketing its guaranteed mass success. It just doesn't deserve it or the hype IMO, but thats what got me to watch this instead of Spiderman2. i fell for it :(

Totally. The build up leading up to the reveal and the reveal was perfect. Showing off Godzilla earlier and giving him more screen time would have ruined the movie in my opinion. Honestly I couldn't even tell that Godzilla was only on screen for a total of 8 minutes until I read it online because of how exciting the scenes with Godzilla were.
I don't even buy that as truth...some random poster on IMDB threw that out? Could be complete BS

The end fight scene was VERY LONG...it felt like a large chunk of the movie was that scene to me. I mean they halo jumped into the fight, he found the egg nest, blew it up, found his way on that boat, etc. There was a lot of movie going on during that fight.

well outside of RT ratings(idc about RT ratings tbh) people are hyping Godzilla like crazy. social media and marketing is going nuts with it right now. even here on ISH a lot of you seem real hyped on it, especially against what some of us naysayers have said.

just saw it and thoroughly enjoyed it. i think the slow reveal of godzilla was perfect, even though i wanted more. the sequel will certainly show him in his full glory much earlier. the scale of the monsters was incredible, this is the first time i saw a kaiju movie and actually had a sense of awe about them. even though we all saw it in the trailer the halo jump scene was beautiful.

i have one question in white, i dont know if i missed something but...

after godzilla kills the female muto, he's fine and right near the shoreline. next time we see him he's laying down in a pile of rubble KO'd. wtf happened to him? if it was the nuclear blast, then how the hell did the people survive, like the wife? they weren't that far from godzilla, and certainly not as resilient. anyways, i was under the impression that they were able to get the bomb away from the city..

p.s. for those who wanted constant godzilla fights, the movie would have ended up to be Transformers...

Haven't seen Pacific rim. Tried to record it on HBO but had some problems. Is they any good though?

For stretches you kind of have to sit through a romance subplot that is the most out-of-place, cringeworthy thing I've ever seen in a movie.

Aside from that it's a nice movie with a couple scenes that are so classically Japanese that it's a must watch, because it's so nice to see that stuff be recognized by western film makers.

Okay, I'm trying to replay that in my head, I'm thinking he collapsed from exhaustion? I know that I thought it made sense when I saw it, I didn't really question it.

He just ran out of juice after fighting and using his atomic breath. Dude was gassed out and decided to take a nap.

i'm pretty sure another building fell on him. think he was resting after that under the rubble or maybe KO'd for a little bit.

and yeah Pacific Rim was corny as hell. it had potential but the way they did it ruined a lot of what could've been really good imo.

i guess so, either they didn't show it clearly or i just missed it.
