Thread: Just watched the Godzilla movie and . . .

Well last night went to see Godzilla with high hopes of it but sadly I was greatly disappointed. As a movie (if I wasn't a big Godzilla fan) it was good and would give it around a B but as a Godzilla movie it was pretty bad and would give it a C-. Without doing any spoilers, they could have done so much more in the movie. Am I the only one who felt like this after seeing it?

I hear a lot of people saying this. I thought his last movie was a good monster movie, but maybe his style doesn't translate well.

Think of this Godzilla movie as Pacific rim with more story and less of the monster fight scenes.

My oldest boy said about the same thing.

...and they've been hyping this movie like crazy....lol.

I thought it was good as a godzilla movie BUT needed more godzilla. I mean what's the formula for a godzilla movie? Kaiju show up... godzilla fights everything... godzilla fights kaiju... godzilla looks like he's down and out... godzilla comes back and wins... everyone is all GODZILLA! FUCK YEAH! And godzilla leaves.

That's a godzilla movie in a nutshell and it's worked for more than half a century. All of those aspects are in this movie. Just not quite enough godzilla.

I'd still give it a 7.5. I was good and I'd see it again. But left wanting more.

You also just described every Hulk Hogan wrestling match.

Yeah, but when I'm watching a Hulk Hogan match on TV, it's not costing me $10.50....or what ever movie tickets are right now.

I was just commenting on the similarities. I wouldn't watch either with your eyes, at any cost. I'd rather just play some BF4.

It's a drama movie with Godzilla to draw people in.
