G.O.M.A.B.
Just saw it... movie went hard. This is what they should've dropped in 98. If you are a Godzilla fan go see it
I saw Godzilla tonight
- Thread starter mastermind
- Start date
I'm at Navy Pier right now breh's, the first showing just let out.
The cinematic scenes were worth the $20. Godzilla went smooth off.
Saw it earlier today and I thought it was straight heat rocks...
Special effects had me like...whoever did the CGI for this is going to be getting a lot of work in the future...
The first atomic breath had me like
The acting was pretty good, but the plot itself was...but i don't see why you would give a fukk about a plot in a godzilla movie...
The fighting was just...Zilla out here on his old school shaq steez where he just spin move and yam monsters into submission...
You need to go into it accepting the fact that it is a people movie...with Godzilla in it...and not the other way around..
I liked that take on it...because it's been done the other way plenty of times before
Well be going to see it again before Monday
@Crakface care to come back to thread to answer for all these coli reviews?

But in this rendition of Godzilla he is not a protector of mankind, he is a killer of monsters...
And he is not suppose to have personality...the movie clearly states in dialog and action that Godzilla is an apex predator...apex predators are cold, soulless, pretty much devoid of any purpose other than to hunt what they want and kill what they want...to give an apex predatory a personality is to try and humanize it, and it was clear to me that they were trying to NOT humanize Godzilla...
It was pretty clear to me that Godzilla was supposed to be seen as the anti-hero ( ended up saving mankind but that was not his goal at all) or even the villain for reasons that don't need to be spoiled, since they did try to humanize the Muto's.
I also don't understand the gripe of not seeing Godzilla's entire body from the get go...they showed the Muto's full form right off the bat, out in the open mulitple times...they had to show you Godzilla in bits and pieces in the end to give you a sense of scale...to make you say "is he going to be big enough?" "is he going to be strong enough?"

Idk, I have mixed feelings about the slow reveal
on the one hand, it helped change the audience's perspective and made us feel more part of the cinematic world rather than outsiders because we saw Godzilla the way the characters in the film saw him. it was also very Spielbergian the way it was a slow build up, which made the payoff at the end much more satisfying rather than if it was just an overkill of CGI monsters fighting each other
on the other hand, it's Godzilla. We all know what he looks like, his background, etc. This isn't Cloverfield where the monster is a big mystery. He's such a pop culture icon that it doesn't really make sense to tease so much

fair points breh
Lets think about this. Men are championing a movie that doesnt have a lot of action or fighting.............@Crakface care to come back to thread to answer for all these coli reviews?
Clearly dorks.
good fukking movie, I highly recommend it....it has good story, decent acting overall, and great effects/monsters/action.....only gripe I had was the main guy surviving every fukking thing...after awhile it was like 'this muthafukka still alive?' lol.....anyway, like someone said: best way to describe this is as a human movie featuring Godzilla...which is cool cause it comes off as an intro movie to him....the next movie, they can make it a godzilla movie featuring humans.....also, i see some complaining about the director teasing godzilla.....i disagree with that, i liked it...there was no need to rush into showing him...when he did finally show him in full, the payoff was worth it....

Not enough action... And that's why it sucked?I've been a skeptic though. What they did with the monsters and the fighting in Pacific Rim raised the bar. I'm going to still go see it though
This isnt on Pacific Rims level

Are you listening to yourself right now. A movie with a multitude of epic action scenes is inferior to this trash? Are you being for real right now or are you just trying to save face because Godzilla was trash.fukk Pacific Rim. That movie was pure trash
Godzilla 99 better than pacific rim
Nothing to do with godzilla, pacific rim was boring and trash as fukk as a film.

Rim was about giant robots fighting giant monsters. I slept on it but was surprised when I finally watched. movie was dope for what it was. it seems like this zilla movie is biting elements from Cloverfield in not wanting to show the monster but if what they are saying is true...... HOW YOU GONNA NAME A MOVIE AFTER A CHARACTER THAT GETS LITTLE TO NO SCREEN TIME?
