I honestly did not care for the "so-called' remake! Olsen was the only reason why I even bothered to see it! Especially because I was told she shows her LOL!

What?Gotta go find that somewhere now.

It took longer than expected, but my 'Final Thoughts' for GODZILLA are finally up here!

It contains zero spoilers (none that aren't already known from the trailers, anyway).

For my further thoughts which contain spoilers, click below!

SPOILERS!!! (for Godzilla and Monsters)

Spoiler

- Bryan Cranston died too soon. If I would’ve written this, I would’ve had Cranston in fair/serious condition, assisting Watanabe and Strathairn from his hospital bed with information on the M.U.T.O.s.

- Aaron Taylor-Johnson should’ve died on the boat at the end. He should’ve rode that thing out and died finally believing in what his father has been saying for all of these years.

- This could’ve led to Cranston recovering and moving back to San Francisco to take care of his son’s wife and kid.

- When the two M.U.T.O.s meet up, smooch and pass along the nuke, this scene reminded me a lot of the end of Gareth Edwards’ Monsters. I believe it was homage to his own work.

- When the female M.U.T.O. looked up at Taylor-Johnson after realizing all of its babies were just murdered, this reminded me a lot of the end of Godzilla 1998 when Zilla rises from MSG to see his dead child… then meeting eye contact with Matthew Broderick. Possible homage?

- When Cranston was in the glass “fishbowl” as he put it, nice touch with the Mothra sticker on the window.

- I loved the film, but I found it silly that the monsters were wherever Taylor-Johnson went throughout the story. Japan… yup, there’s a monster. Hawaii… you bet! Train-tracks in the middle of nowhere… sure, why not?! San Francisco… hey, you get three monsters for the price of one! The guy clearly has some bad voodoo going on.

- GODZILLA WAS NOT FAT! HE WAS ALSO ONSCREEN FOR THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF TIME!!! Check out Godzilla 1954… I think he had less screen-time in that. Anymore screen-time in the new film and the final act would've lost everything that made it so special.

Tickets booked for tonight

 

[shyuan]

Looks very cool, I'll be watching this on Sunday, can't wait!

 

[IRON MAN]

I think

Spoiler

some aren't liking the movie cos they go in and are expecting a film à la Michael Bay (I love Transformers and Bad Boys don't get me wrong) i.e. tons of fights and explosions etc... but what Gareth has shown here is incredible restraint and chose to focus on the human element rather than an all out action-fest and I believe he nailed the right balance, reminds me of a young Spielberg. Glad to see Ken picked up on that as well

This is the GODZILLA film I've been dying to see! I absolutely FU**ING love this kick ass movie! WOW! From the second it begins to the last shot of him entering the ocean! FU**ING EPIC! The films pace is phenomenal, not a single dull moment! Amazing characters! Beautiful cinematography! Everything worked so DAMN well for me, instant classic! Though I do wish it was longer (hoping for an Unrated/Extended/Directors Cut)

I was at the edge of my seat the entire time! His 1st roar made me wet myself! Seriously though, I haven't enjoyed a film this much in years! BEST Movie Experience... EVER! The KING of Monsters is back baby! :bow: Even the wife loved it! We're definitely gonna see it again! :movie: Cant wait to own the Blu-Ray!

NINJAS! You know what's next! My GODZILLA Collection... is coming!

Yep, needs more smileys.

I have the feeling that, like leelee17, if I go to see this movie I'll come out wondering why I wasted my time and money on it. So I'll save my money.

If you're not into monster films and didn't enjoy Pacific Rim. This movie is not for you. Go watch other movies, there are some very good films out there.

So saw this last night and I'll put everything into spoilers just in case

Spoiler

I will say from the start, I loved it! If you're familiar with Evan's previous movie 'Monsters' then expect something along similar lines.

Godzilla was simply a fantastic beast of a creature that I was pleased to see wasn't a bad guy, but more the saviour.

I liked the way that whilst Gozdilla is the star, he isn't the main point of focus and the movie more focuses on the humanity element of the danger with Godzilla in the background.....up until the last 30 minutes anyway

One thing I would say is that I didn't care for any of the human characters, and trying to take Kick Ass seriously was a hard slog, I did feel he was a little mis-cast.

Don't go in expecting an all-out action fest similar to that of Pacific Rim as it's not like that. The action that is there is fantastic, but there is a much more human element to it that does hold 75% of the story. The use of Godzilla is fantastic though as you get to appreciate just how big the guy is, and they way he's filmed is simply superb.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the info, having loved 'Monsters' I should imagine I will enjoy this
If people aren't used to Evan's as a director then maybe they would have been more prepared having watched 'Monsters' beforehand, to get a feel for his direction
