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.
shareMight be one of rare times were filmmakers were wise enough to quit while they were ahead.
I remember the massive amount of hype for this movie, and I'm sure it was expected to be a huge summer blockbuster, and with sequels to follow. And I'm sure most of its success came from the opening weekends, before word spread about how bad it was not only from critics but audiences as well who for the most part hated it. I'm actually surprised at how well it did end up doing, but it was definitely supposed to be bigger. Armageddon beat it by $180 million in the same summer, including by $180 million internationally.
While they may have made money on this movie, despite its poor reception, a sequel would not have anywhere near the same level of anticipation, and wouldn't have the big opening weekend.
