Saw Godzilla at the movies this afternoon! Loved the battle scenes!
The rest of the film is good, BUT THE GIANT MONSTERS ARE AWESOME!From which I infer the rest of the film is not great, no real surprise there.
I will still see it because: GIANT MONSTERS.
Ditto. I was really looking forward to the first one, big budget, good cast, etc, the first few minutes were promising... then it just became a lacklustre succession of paceless monstery wallopings.I thought the last film so appallingly bad I've little hope for this one...
Just what were you expecting from a movie involving giant monsters?! Gone With The Wind?!Ditto. I was really looking forward to the first one, big budget, good cast, etc, the first few minutes were promising... then it just became a lacklustre succession of paceless monstery wallopings.

Basic characterisation and storytelling shouldn't be restricted to traditional drama. In contrast, I greatly enjoyed Kong: Skull Island.Just what were you expecting from a movie involving giant monsters?! Gone With The Wind?!
Pace. Compare it with the 1998 one (or Cloverfield, come to that.) It just lumbered about.Just what were you expecting from a movie involving giant monsters?! Gone With The Wind?!
Yes, that one - this is what I mean though, the succession of monstery wallopings were ok, but that's all that was worth paying any attention to. Everything else in the film felt like a time-filling intermission.Which one? The US Godzilla (2014)? There were very few monster-y wallopings, which was fine (best to use them sparingly) but outside of Brian Cranston the main characters were dull as was the story.

It was also lots of fun!The 1998 may have been fatsre paced but it was execrable, cartoony in a bad way.
Yeah, I've got no particular problem with the 1998 Godzilla movie. It wasn't Godzilla, but I enjoyed the creature design all the same. I liked the characters and humour and action. It's a much maligned movie, but as a movie in its own right, rather than an attempt by Hollywood to claim Godzilla, I find it a great fun kaiju movie, and far more watchable than the soulless attempt from a few of years ago.It was also lots of fun!
You know you like it.
Go on, go on, go on...
...to make it look "serious" most of the battles are filmed in semidarkness.
A tip they picked up from Patterson & Gimlin: You "won't be able to see the zip".
That happens in middle age, I am told...And they gave Godzilla big floppy tits?
