RogueNine it's so much more than that.

It's the best Godzilla since the Heisei series. The soundtrack helps quite a bit, too. I'll probably buy this.

So it turned out to be good? I had a feeling it was gonna be nothing more than an excuse to display super-cool special effects and mindless action.

They did the nuclear breath justice as well, so fucking epic.

seeing this tonight with a buddy and some bud

It's definitely worth seeing. It's refreshing for movies finally to treat their audiences with some respect, not coddling them. Godzilla does a perfect job of creating tension, making audiences wait for big reveals and then delivers on making the wait at the end of your seat worth it.

I was having a discussion with a workmate today about the lack of screentime given to Godzilla (I

was pro, he was con). Basically I ended my point by referencing the Transformers movies - they're

crap, but technically impressive from a CG perspective. But when you can't go more than 5 seconds

without seeing some elaborate mechanoid walking around, with explosions and gunfire it all ends up

becoming commonplace. With Gozdilla, it's a shadow here, a tail whipping around a corner there.

Every moment you get to see him in action is to be treasured; it reimagines the "monster movie"

genre into the spectacle it used to be.



Every time he appears it's this momentous moment, because our time with him is so fleeting. We don't

take it for granted and accept is as normal as is the case with 99% of every other movie that's so

reliant on CG

might see it tonight, stoked!

Really hope this sparks a resurgance in ""Godzilla and friends" films.

I pulled out all my dvd's and have been spinning the series relentlessly for months. I'm probably way too excited about this for anyone's good.

That's a lot of fish

-Bryan Cranston

My hypothesis to why Godzilla lacked screen time is because the context wasn't there. Unlike past Godzilla movies, Godzilla is not the main character. The movie is set around Ford, his beginning's in Japan with his family and carrying through with him, his fellow soldiers and his wife and son. The movie is shown through their lens. By the time Ford jumped out of the plane with his squad to disarm the bomb, I too was squeamish and wondering why Godzilla was lacking screen time. I wholeheartedly believe the film makers wanted to show off Godzilla more, but it would take away from the fact that the movie really isn't Godzilla's story, it's Ford's and as much as the audience wants to be bombarded with extended fight scenes and CGI, giving up plot time would decrease the overall impact of the movie and leave audiences in euphoria for a few more minutes during the flick but no lasting appeal past their car trip home.

Completely agree that also, by making the audience wait, the anticipation is truly what makes movies in this genre so great. Audiences think they want non-stop action and CGI, but movies like Jaws are so great because they successfully build-up the anticipation of what is going to happen and then deliver great scenes without overexposing the antagonist, still keeping intact the mysteriousness of the creature and what it could do next.

the problem lies in the fact that none of the characters are good. cranston's character is overacted to annoying levels, wantabe just stands there with his mouth open all movie, kickass and his wife are just generic "american audience" leads (i.e. military guy with let-me-look-after-the-kid wifey with 0 depth, cause women arent people right?). there is no motivation to care about any of the characters which is weird because, as you said, the focus of the movie was the human characters, not godzilla

im a fan of the way they approached this, i thought the slow burn godzilla reveal worked greatly in his favor. but the problem stems from the writing unfortunately. if youre going to spend 3/4 of a movie focusing on characters, give us some characters to like. by the end im positive no one in the theater gave a shit what happened to anyone on screen and just wanted to see godzilla fuck shit up (which he did, and it was great)

"there is no motivation to care about any of the characters" I have to completely disagree with you on
that one. The opening was brilliant. Cranston up early, on the phone with the Plant, you immediately
see his son with the "Happy Birthday Dad" sign and his wife and him sharing a moment in the car before
they go to work. then bam, in a matter of minutes Cranston watches his wife die right before his eyes.
What more, plot wise, can you do to pull at the heart strings of your audience and to care? Not only
does his wife die but he sees it happen as the emergency doors close. That scene alone justifies
Cranston's actions for the rest of the film, I know people who are conspiracy wackos and he played his
part perfectly. I find it hard to believe after that opening that no one would have empathy for
Cranston's character.

This commercial is better tho

Dev, I can't say I've seen Monsters, but in today's cinema it's easy to make those assumptions.
