    Godzilla (2014)

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted

    Just watched it in a near-full theater!To put it simply, this is a very good summer blockbuster and an excellent Godzilla film.Pros:-Cranston!-Once the first act nears it's end, the film becomes an almost non-stop thrill ride. Seriously, great pacing IMO.-Godzilla and the MUTOs are beautiful. Just beautiful. Their movements and behaviors spoke volumes about the work put into giving these CG creations life. Practically every moment of Godzilla's screen time makes an impact, and the MUTOS get a good amount of screen time. Quite surprised at that honestly.-I was thinking, based on reading other reviews, that Cranston was the only good actor in this film. Actually, the rest of the cast actually is solid on their own terms. (I was only disappointed in Sally Hawkins)-That tension. The teases and build up worked great for me! -The visuals and cinematography are worthy of seeing in the best theater possible.Cons:-More Cranston and Godzilla wouldn't have hurt at all!-Human drama in the second and third acts weren't exactly things to be proud of. -Finale could have been a bit longer, but I was very pleased with what we got.Solid A-/A from me :)And for crowd reactions:You could actually hear people gasp and go "Wow" at the money shots!

    Especially the Godzilla reveal and the nuclear fire attacks!

    :)

    I could actually hear some sounds of shock/surprise in an important dramatic moment involving Cranston.Friends' reactions:"Boring." (She loved TASM 2 and absolutely disliked the Winter Soldier)"7/10"-He watched '98 Godzilla I think?"Godzilla is my new favorite superhero."-First Godzilla film for this guy."Godzilla is so cuuuuuuteee!"-Girl who liked this better than '98 film.My other friends couldn't stop talking about

    Godzilla's finishing move on the MUTO

    when the film was finished. That moment will seriously get people talking. My dad, also big on superhero/genre movies, gave this a 9/10. From my dad and friends, no complaints at all about too little Godzilla/monsters. No complaints too with the

    fight teases

    though a friend was surprised the second time it happened on screen.

    Maleficent's page has over 2m likes when Godzilla's hasn't even 900k yet!!!

    :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

    You want something to laugh at?

    Godzilla has more likes than Man of Steel than the same point in its pre-release cycle.

    And 22 million against 13 million trailer views? (Despite Maleficent's trailer being released more than a month in advance)

    If you say Youtube views don't matter, then Facebook likes probably don't either.

    Also,

    I'm sure both will do very well globally and I'm anticipating both films.

     

    EDIT: Sorry if this somehow comes off as a bit harsh/rude.

    PHILIPPINES BOX OFFICE thread​ | INSIDE OUT II breaks records. Only the last two AVENGERS movies opened bigger on opening day. But can it beat FROZEN II's total?

    ^  Yup it is. I hope they work things out soon Anyway, I was at the theater Cap 2 is still selling but the big surprise is Diary ng Panget doing well too! I know the book is popular but I never though it is THIS big. Big surprise since the cast are newcomers!

    The birth of a new franchise?

    A 62% increase for Cap2.Thor numbers for comparison:Thor. $1.4MThor: TDW $4.6M228% increase for Thor 2.:o What happened????EDIT: Legs will probably be average/above average (Noah & Rio coming) and the fact that midnight premieres happened for Thor 2 but not Cap 2 could have contributed.Thor 2 also opened on the All Saints'/All Souls' Day weekend, which is profitable here.

    Captain America: The Winter SoldierSM Cebu Imax, Mar. 30, 11 am showing., >15% full.Trailers:Interstellar (no reaction)Amazing Spider-Man 2 (people went "Oh!" and were definitely into the trailer)

    Godzilla (silence throughout, people talked about it after title was shown)Film/Experience:This was my second time viewing, and it was still just as awesome as the first time.

     

    Excellent fight choreography, Falcon is cool as as heck, and solid plotting.

     

    Crowd laughed at appropriate times and

    were genuinely surprised when Winter Soldier was revealed to be Bucky! Most stayed for the mid-credits scene and were definitely talking about the twins' appearance after it was done.

     

    9/10
