Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[MaulFan]

So I read a point on another site that got me thinking, this movie put most of the attention on government an military characters with ordinary citizens in the background. I feel like this choice is where they went wrong with bringing emotional weight to the movie. They didn't really portray a Hollywood version of the military where characters are emotional and animated, they we're calm, level headed an focused, the only characters we significantly saw around the monsters were ones that ignored what they were seeing to focus on a mission. Hopefully the sequels will follow more traditional Godzilla with ordinary citizens as the leads and the military just being a presence.

Add it to the very long list of problems with this movie.

Yet...yet.... I still like this movie despite all those problems.

 

[MaulFan]

For me, all the problems are things that could be better but weren't bad, just not as good. The movie shows a great deal of potential, which I think is why it's done as well as it has, and hopefully the sequels show the growth you'd expect from this foundation. Even with it's flaws this is still a more enjoyable Godzilla film from start to finish than many of the others in the franchise.

Maulfan is infamous for repeating exactly what someone else says, just posts later, in like 19 paragraphs.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Lol im grinning ear-to-ear

 

[MaulFan]

I read so many pages on Godzilla right now I lose track of what's from where

 

[jye4ever]

Me 2, why, what happened.

 

[MaulFan]

Americans made a Godzilla with one of the most amazing Godzilla's ever.

 

[Khev]

The most amazing, IMO. I *love* the 2014, and having him get up after appearing to be dead is just so badass, especially compared to how the 1998 Zilla ended.

 

[MaulFan]

I know some fans want a completely invincible Godzilla, but I like that this film played the angle where man can't hurt Godzilla but his foes can. I also like the idea that he's sort of that old guy who still has enough fight and skill to whip young ones asses, like Rocky 6 or Rambo 4.

 

[thenammagazine]

Americans made a Godzilla with one of the most amazing Godzilla's ever.

Made up for that which will not be mentioned and IMHO, the best Godzilla since Godzilla vs. The Thing.

I was watching Avatar on TV earlier and couldn't help thinking that as nice as it is, the CGI really looks fake a lot of times and I don't know what they did on Godzilla but he and the MUTOs are the most alive looking CGI creatures I've ever seen, even their movements don't feel like they're doing things that could only happen through cgi.

 

[jye4ever]

Correct, and even the background cgi plates looked authentic.

I am very excited for 9/16.

I haven't watched it since my 7 theater viewings.

I rented Godzilla on my Vudu account and really enjoyed it! I thought Godzilla himself was done extremely well.

Sure it has it's flaws but it was still fun to watch!

Blue people are hard to believe as real, during some of the shots, especially the nighttime stuff it's very CG looking because none of it looks like stuff that actually exists. The Godzilla monsters are all using realistic textures and based off real animals, so it looks more realistic.

I'm curious what they're going to do with Mothra, it's a very strange monster and I'm not sure if they will do it like it normally is. Like maybe it's just a really big moth, but not a Godzilla sized moth and it's an example of what's causing the really big monsters but doesn't actually fight or anything.

I know it's par the course for any movie with Mothra in it, so it should be expected, but I hope and can't wait to see mothra go from larvae to adult in the new film. The emergence could be craaaaaaaaazy.
