a2k Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I liked it quite a bit for what it is since I grew up with stuff like that. But I also see why people didn't like it too. I really hope Godzilla 2 steps up and will be a monster film everyone can love haha Great thing about Godzilla is that it ends on a huge high (not just a scene or two..but pretty much the last 20-30 minutes). For even those who didn't like it much, will be very tough to resist G2 on the big screen. Edited May 20, 2014 by a2k 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie, and thus sequel, has to be seen on the big screen to really enjoy it. I think if I had watched it on my pc for the first time, no way I would've enjoyed the same way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Also the marketing. WB decided not to go the monster vs monster way in Godzilla's marketing and focus on the characters and drama. That helped a lot.Characters and drama that actually mattered little in the movie as it turns out. I don't think it was the characters at all. I think it just looked really fucking good. The visual style of that halo jump was incredible. It created this sense of atmosphere that I didn't think was possible for a Godzilla movie. That's what sold me, not the people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scale was just too grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazz91 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is this a good 3D movie or should I just see it in regular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what sold me, not the people. characters didn't matter in the movie. but they had to sell it that way to differentiate it from PR and Zilla 98. marketing can be misleading, sometimes successfully. sometimes not (tasm2's rhino and 'enemies unite'). it did have great visual style and atmosphere. but those scenes with Cranston and Ken in the promos were a huge plus too, irrespective of their roles in the movie.

The Stingray Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Anyone seen a movie called Red Lights with Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niros? A friend recommended it, and I'm liking the premise, but it has a really shitty RT-score, so I don't know... Really digging that Godzilla number, btw.

If the screen is big enough, I would definitely go with 3D and I wouldn't miss the opportunity to see it in IMAX 3D if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
