God I hope they find new main characters for the sequel

Re: Godzilla 2014

Just got back from seeing it, I'm such a huge Godzilla fan!!!!!! I will admit though, he got a limited amount of time which sort of sucked. Now about the main cast:

Spoiler

Hated that "Walter White" died so early in the movie, would of loved it if he stuck around more. Now about Aaron bring the main lead.....yeah I don't understand why he was so bland. He was alright in the Kick-*** movies, don't know he as so mediocre, probably just the way the script was written.

And the first time Godzilla spews out the blue flames, EPIC with the way his scales started to glow before he did it.

I love the big guy here, but it was awkward having the crowd clap for him at the end when he was returning to the sea. C-mon now, how did they know he was there to help and not cause more chaos?

On the way Godzilla looks though, AWESOME. Love his new look and am super excited their talking sequel already

Re: Godzilla 2014

If they really go ahead with a sequel, Godzilla better get a lot MORE screen time. They did an amazing CGI job on him.

Re: Godzilla 2014

I don't know if the acting was all that bad it just paled in comparison to Brian Cranston

See, this is part of it... I think they always planned on/anticipated a sequel, so they went with this like: "We're okay with not showing too much Godzilla. He will appear more, and when he does it will be more often." You don't put all your eggs in one basket when you expect to have other baskets.

However, this is of course the dilemma with most television shows... show too much and you'll have to change course, show too little and you might get canceled. Tease just enough, get the audience to come, and you still have so much going for you for future releases.

Re: Godzilla 2014

I thought they showed Godzilla just enough. He got plenty of screen time in the last act of the movie.

This sort of gave me a Jaws vibe as far as the reveal went. When they finally did fully reveal Godzilla, it was amazing.

Re: Godzilla 2014

After digesting my experience with this movie, I have a better appreciation for Pacific Rim. Watched it again today and it was a much better unashamed monster movie. I know Godzilla is more of a drama, but the more serious tone and plot just didn't grab me.

Outside of Cranston the acting was pretty bland and even then, the scenes with him were just average, which is cool, I wasn't expecting anything more than that. Watanabe and his assistant's "Oh my god I think I've figured it out" facial expressions though were present in almost every single one of their scenes from one or the other, or both, and it was comical. I don't even know why they had to be in the movie. They really added nothing that couldn't have been provided by Cranston's character.

Someone explain to me (in spoilers please) why the Mutos have the abilities they do.

Spoiler

EMP blasts from creatures millions of years older than humanity? Why? The EMP bursts had no effect on Godzilla, who is described to be something of a natural enemy. Their were no electronics back in prehistoric times that they spoke of. Why do they have EMP blasts?

I was also turned off by their design.

I absolutely love Godzilla's design however, I think it's amazing. I just wish I got to see more of it. The visuals in general were very well done. The sound was amazing as well.

I really don't think I'd be interested in sitting through it again. Watch a few scenes from the last third of the film? Sure, but sit though the whole movie? No thanks.

While I loved every scene with Godzilla, I thought they showed him enough for this first installment.

However, anyone outside of Cranston was completely boring.

Spoiler

After he died, I lost all interest in any part of the human side of the story. No one else had any real energy.

I thought the EMP was a byproduct of them eating materials that give off radiation. The male sucked down the output from a nuclear power plant over ~15 years, that energy has to go somewhere.

My thoughts

First Act: Ok
Second Act: Meh, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Third Act: HOLY ****, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Godzilla 2014

Does anyone else laugh when films use historical events as a part of their plots? For example, the Mars & Moon landings in the Transformers films. There are a lot more, but I always just find this kind of thing funny.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in this film they said that...

Spoiler

The the atomic bomb tests of the 1940s weren't just tests, but rather an attempt to eradicate Godzilla or whomever.

Re: Godzilla 2014

Spoiler

Did Godzilla and the two Mutos all go to the Earth's core after the comets hit Earth? If so, why did they just start fighting in 2014?

Re: Godzilla 2014

Cloverfield with a bigger budget... My expectations weren't high since I figured a lot of the hype was because Walter White was character. Genius marketing. I thought Cranston would be the main character throughout. I hope he got a massive paycheck.

I thought EMPs fried electronics. Not just temporarily knocked them out.

Will watch again if they don't screw up the blu ray transfer. Should be an amazing bass movie.

Re: Godzilla 2014

Every time Godzilla appeared on screen I got chills. It was awesome. Lol. How they kept teasing him until the end was annoying but did the job of when he did appear being great.

I want a Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover.
