slothian Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Woof. Personally, I have no opinions as I've not seen it, and I probably won't bother until it's out on DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 It's like you have no dedication to being the site's superhero correspondent. "Comic Book Movie" correspondent. And my film budget is going on the next X-Men movie, since you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 And while Godzilla has inspired comics, it is not based on one. If we go off of works that inspired, then Ian needs to cover Captain Planet also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I no longer have a film budget as I am on strike and I am fucking choked I spent it on Godzilla instead of X-Men DOFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I will say that it's not the well-thought out approach to a seemingly daft idea that Rise of the Planet of the Apes was. It's also disappointingly light on Cranston and heavy on Tyler-Johnson, whose character and family I gave no fucks about. I am excited about a sequel, but hope it focuses on a different set people and learns from some of the mistakes of this one. Not bad a directorial debut, though.

Dread Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would hope a sequel would actually focus on Godzilla, but I'm not sure I care because I won't be paying to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 So, for those of you wondering whether to see this or X-Men, go see X-Men. This was a pretty decent movie and it's totally worth watching, but it's not anywhere near X-Men's level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Question: How does one almost fall asleep during a loud-as-fuck, building-toppling movie with Godzilla?Answer: Have Gareth Edwards direct it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 The review won't be out until NEXT week's episode of Dread Media, but there is a great moment in the review where Darryll says "but enough about what we didn't like about the movie," and I counter with "no, I'm not done."

JasonC Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I loved this movie. Unlike some movies I have sat through recently (I'm looking at YOU Amazing Spider-Man 2) I was not bored or fidgety once. It has made me want to go and track down all previous Godzilla movie and watch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Liked it a lot but wouldn't say I loved it. Some great moments hampered by pacing and plot contrivance issues. You could have completely cut out the part with the boy losing his parents on the train and nothing would have been lost. There are a lot of little scenes like that. It's almost a case of treating the creature with too much respect, to the point of being terrified of having it on screen for too long.

James D. Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Pretty much in agreement. I also wish Ken Watanabe's character was more than just "stand by looking aghast". But overall, I enjoyed it. Godzilla, when he was actually on screen, was thoroughly awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Saw it tonight, very much enjoyed it especially the halo drop and Godzilla shooting his blue-fire mouth laser down mummy stick-insect's throat Totally wanted this to come at the end though: http://youtu.be/m17JloW4R0w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Pretty much in agreement. I also wish Ken Watanabe's character was more than just "stand by looking aghast". But overall, I enjoyed it. Godzilla, when he was actually on screen, was thoroughly awesome. I am glad that of all the characters from the original movie to come back, Dr. Serizawa made a return. I was told in the original draft he was supposed to only be seen at night and live in abandoned houses. Although I am glad they changed his character in subsequent drafts (Or else he probably would have come back as a vampire), I still look up to him from time to time. Whenever I have to work nights I always feel alienated and pretend like I am him to keep from going insane. The reboot did a good job of his character, he may not be as eccentric but there was still something off about him at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Besides Godzilla, I think I saw Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Rodan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjoyadet Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I would never have thought of using Claude Debussy for a kaiju movie. I used to love that song. Then in 2008 it was dubbed "the Twilight Song." Godzilla took back what Twilight stole from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I marked when Mothra appeared. If they can include Mothra's little girls in there, then I'll be over the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I dug Kong: Skull Island, a lot. This looks like a proper war of the monsters. I’m down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
