Shame it's sequel couldn't made it


Loved this movie, the way it ended it had potential for a sequel. But instead, they made a reboot which is terrible. Godzilla is left out in that movie, and movie focuses mostly on those creatures who look like transformers. Not to mention, Godzilla being able to spit electricity.. lame. This movie is the one I'll always remember, and it's to sad that after some years it will be forgotten.

Food for thought, I guess.

You know nothing about Godzilla. Electricity really? No wonder you like that 98 abomination of a film.

A lot of people prefer to like the new Godzilla.
This movie will always be the best one!
The sequel would've been with the baby Godzilla with wings!

The retardation is just unbearable.

Not sure why, if you and I will remember it that it'll be forgotten. Some..perhaps many will continue to be intrigued by its novelty for years to come.

rizdek is right. I thought this movie was very enjoyable. Great effects and just enough humor. I personally won't forget it.

The reboot is very good film, its the proper direction for a Godzilla film. You expected a generic action monster movie with 90% of Godzilla and 10% of story like the 1998 film.

Dont get it twisted I enjoy the 1998 film, it is what it is but the 2014 is the better movie.

What Godzilla 1998's Trilogy Would've Looked Like (& Why It Didn't Happen)

https://screenrant.com/godzilla-1998-movie-sequel-trilogy-story-plans-canceled/

Godzilla's reputation with fans and critics may suggest that Godzilla was an all-around disaster, but this was actually not the case. Despite all the negative reviews, Godzilla was a box office success at $379 million. That's only slightly less than Godzilla: King of the Monsters' worldwide box office gross of $386 million. It easily made enough to justify a sequel, but their plans for Godzilla 2 were complicated by other matters, such as the reception to the film. An abundance of negative reviews had the studio concerned that a sequel wouldn't be as profitable as the first movie. Emmerich and Devlin were expected to be involved in Godzilla 2, but both ultimately dropped out of the project over budget issues. With the negative reception, it's likely the studio wasn't willing to increase costs for the sequel given that the chances of one outperforming the first movie were low.
