There's a misconception that Godzilla is barely in this movie but the new Godzilla movie proved that if you give the audience what they want, you'll wear them out.
This movie perfectly balanced the human story with the monsters action.
THIS MOVIE SUCKED...IT SUCKED LESS THAN WHAT FOLLOWED,BUT COME ON...IS THAT REALLY AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE FILM OR AN ENDORSEMENT OF WHAT YOURE WILLING TO SWALLOW WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE?

I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM..THIS FILM WAS TERRIBLE AS WAS THE SEQUEL..THE NARRATIVE NOW BEING THE FIRST TERRIBLE FILM IS NOW SOMEHOW BETTER BECAUSE THE SEQUEL WAS EVEN WORSE..THEY WERE BOTH TERRIBLE...CHILL OUT
YUNG JEEZY.
Telling people to chill out like your opinion is worth more than theirs. Movie was good in MY OPINION, and so was the sequels that followed.. IN MY OPINION.
shareSEEING AS HOW THE COMMENT I REPLIED TO IS DELETED...I WOULD SAY NEITHER OF US KNOW IF 'CHILL OUT' WAS WARRANTED...I WILL SAY...IN MY OPINION...OBVIOUSLY...IT WAS WARRANTED.
shareWell seeing your first reply to his original post about his opinion on the movie wasn't warranted. Someone who never seen your shtick about using all capitals might have taken it in a certain way. And I'm not trying to swallow nothing with a smile on my face.
shareBUT SWALLOW IT YOU WILL.ππ
shareI'm not dealing in your fetishes. Geez going around movie forums hoping men swallow. Now I see why you caplock is stuckππ½
shareYOU WILL SEE MUCH MORE THAN THAT...OH... THE SIGHTS I WILL SHOW YOU!
shareUsually I'm open minded, but those Caplocks is a deal breaker. Sorry to disappoint you.
shareTHT IS YOUR WEAKNESS NOT MINE...I AM ACTUALLY QUITE NICE...MY FAVORITE MOVIES ARE COOL HAND LUKE,PAPILLON,CLERKS,THE PRINCESS BRIDE AND MANNEQUIN...HOW ABOUT YOU?
shareHey! I like this movie!
It's not great cinema but it's fun, and has THE sharpest camera work I've ever seen in a monster movie. Yes, it's just a monster movie with a standard cheesy monster movie script, but IMHO the director elevated it with some really awesome scenes, like the monster night scene that's shot in real dark and not day-for-night, Godzilla at the Golden Gate Bridge, and the truly awesome extended parachute drop past the length of Godzilla.
It made me think the director was going on to bigger and better things, and Gareth Edwards did make the marvelous "Rogue One", but then he fell off the radar for some reason, hasn't directed another film. I wonder what happened.
I LOVED ROGUE ONE...I DID NOT LOVE THE ZILLA FLICKS.
shareYou don't have to love them, but it would be nice if you understood why people defend this particular silly monster movie, out of all the recent silly monster movies. There are things about it that make it stand out in the Kaiju genre, little whiffs of cinematic glory in between the scenes of obligatory junk science, cheesy PG romance, and bad acting. So they've made a whole slew of these silly movies, and if you bash the others people will cheerfully join in, but you'll get a bit of pushback here, and with "Pacific Rim".
May I ask if you like monster movies in general? I do, probably because I grew up sneaking out of bed to watch dubbed Japanese monsters on "Creature Features".
I'm inspired to re-watch this, thanks!
shareI think I will too, when I get home.
I also re-watched "Pacific Rim" a couple of weeks ago because of a Moviechat discussion, and enjoyed the heck out of it! Now there's a movie that doesn't aspire to be anything more than a monster movie that gives the audience what it wants, and totally succeeds in its modest aims. It's just a good, solid, action-packed monster movie, which gives monster fans everything they like, including plenty of big monster fights and genuinely likable and relatable characters. It's probably a better movie than "Godzilla" after all, but doesn't have a single moment that's quite as awesome as the parachute drop.
I recommend "Pacific Rim" to anyone who likes this Godzilla movie, but not its sucky sequel.
I LIKED PACIFIC RIM...I DISLIKED THE ZILLA FLICKS...I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO DUG THEM THOUGH.
shareMannequin is a cool movie. My favorites are The Outsiders, Taxi Driver, The Departed. My favorite comedy is National Lampoons vacation. I apologize, I know you're a good person, I'm just the biggest Godzilla fan since I was a kid. I overreacted.
shareNO WORRIES...IN ALL HONESTY I HAVE NEVER BEEN A ZILLA FAN...SAD TO SAY...BUT 90'S MATTHEW BRODERICK GODZILLA IS PROBABLY THE ONE I ENJOY MOST...I REALLY ENJOYED THAT LAST ONE THOUGH...THE ONE WITH MOTHRA...THAT WAS SOLID.
shareTotally agree! Also, Godzilla:KOM had bad POV shots, the Admiral Stenz character was not in continuity with the 2014 movie. After what he saw in 2014, he would have been convinced that Godzilla was no danger to humans. He and Serizawa would have been on the same side. The "For Serizawa" line should have been said by both the Asian woman and Stenz. And Serizawa's assistance' character had more developing to do. She should have been kept in the movie and shown to have grown more confident and bolder in speaking to others.
Making Rodan a bad monster through the whole movie and having him kill off Mothra was so stupid. I had looked forward to the three of them battling with Ghidorah to be similar to the movie, Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster where Mothra gets injured and Godzilla showing more anger in Godzilla KOM than in the Ghidorah movie.
