Is it shamful of me to say that I find the 1998 G film more entertaining then G2014?

i like g98 but not as a godzilla movie i like zilla but not as a godzilla incarnation but as his own kaiju

Even if I don't 100% agree with everything Koldwarkid said, I understand the sentiment and see where he's coming from. Although I seem to be in the camp where the cutaways don't bother me nearly as much, I find the new film more entertaining for its polarizing directorial decisions which are more interesting than the  standard 1990s, by-the-numbers, textbook-esque decisions Emmerich made in 1998.

Godzilla '14 is very, very far from the ultimate Godzilla film and hardly the Godzilla movie to beat all Godzilla movies, it's true. But there's at least a lot more thought put into it than what occured in 1998.

KOLDWARKID62 - Hahaha! Thank you so much! :)

GMAN2887 - I agree with your assessment. The instances in which we're left to wonder what has transpired exactly don't have a definitve negative effect upon me. Naturally, I'd like to see more and, like you so eloquently put it, Edwards' Godzilla is far form the perfect Godzilla film. That being said, it's still a fun ride! :)

Zilla 98' is the definition of cheesy 90's films. Right next to Indepence Day, jeez I lived through the 90's and cringe when I watch either one

@Gman2887 - Totally agree with your last paragraph. Emmerich had nothing but disdain for the character and series; he totally dismissed it. It was a huge paycheck for him, nothing more. Tull, Rogers, Edwards, et al, all seemed to have a genuine love and passion for Godzilla. You look at it and you're not mistaking it for anything other than Godzilla.

No, there are alot of people who think that G98 was better than G14. It's your opinion and everyone needs to respect that.

Honestly though, i do not count G98 as a godzilla film but rather a monster movie of its own.

100% agree with the first reply by THE KING OF THE MONSTERS. I'll always like the '98 film simply because it was a huge part of my childhood, but '14 is my favorite. Don't be ashamed of your opinion dude. You shouldn't even care if people hate on it lol.
