SAW THE MOVIE.. THOUGHTS ANYONE ?

I'll be speaking more on the film later, but I liked it. Didn't love it, but really liked it--My feelings toward it could go either way after the honeymoon period, so I'll be seeing it a couple more times. Overall it delivered about what I expected it to.

Glad you saw the light though. It was always going to be a "true Godzilla film." There wasn't a doubt about that.

I saw it I liked it, but it didn't blow me away. I want to watch it again, but the first drive was enough. Can't wait till it comes out on video so I can really watch it.

I didn't see the movie yet but i know the whole plot. I love hearing the thoughts of everyone about Shin Gojira! Me too at first i didn't like it but you get used to it and eventually you start to like it!

I thought it was a pretty good movie. I might see it again, but I'm not sure.

People were hyping this up as the god of all Godzilla films. THE TRUE GODZILLA@!!!>L!1LL!

^Same thing happened for Final Wars and G14 tbh.....

Well Final Wars gave people everything they wanted, except a good story xD.

Ehhhhhhhhhh maybe if you didn't want much even not considering the story

Final Wars is definitely a turn your brain off movie, sad for the 50th anniversary though, would have preferred Shin Gojira to take that spot, or even G14.

Final Wars's story isn't as good as the last ones were. Shin's aiming for the dark side like 1954. It also has great destruction scenes by judging on the leaked scenes.

Concur with both of Shiro's comments

lol thanks.

"People were hyping this up as the god of all Godzilla films. THE TRUE GODZILLA@!!!>L!1LL!"

Gee... Where have we seen this scenario before? Lets take a look: The year is 2014...

"Well Final Wars gave people everything they wanted, except a good story"

...wut...

Come on, Shin Godzilla and Godzilla 2014 are entirely different films. I never said people did not hype the hell out of G14, but the stuff that people were saying about this film...Was maddening.

"It will be the second best Godzilla film...RIGHT BEHIND 1954 OF COURSE!" "It's going to put G14 in the dust"...Did it? No, simple answer.

And I personally enjoyed Final Wars. Sometimes you have to turn your brain off and just enjoy a movie--even if it is 0% substance, better than an over dramatic, over hyped, period piece about a mutant lizard with operatic overdone music and insane camera shots. By the way I'm not saying Final Wars is better than Shin Godzilla.

I unfortunately don't think I'll get to see this on the big screen. It's not playing far from me; just logistically tough for me to see it where it is within the week it'll be here. I was hoping it would be in one of the suburban theaters closer to home. It's looking like I'll have to wait for the Blu-Ray before I can weigh in. Look forward to reading what you all think.

As I have said before.. let the war begin between America and Japan for delivering Godzilla/Gojira to audiences around the world.. it's a win win. Personally I liked Final Wars.. It was all my childhood films.. brought together in one big and deliberate mix of Monsters that made Monster Movie Matinee which aired in the 70's on NBC.. worth the wait. That's where I first saw Gojira.. so for me Final Wars was nostalgic. Good cheese if you will. As for Shin Gojira.. I rank it up there with the first as being a great horror flick. If I were 5 years old today watching that.. I would get nightmares.. just like I did when I saw the original. That and the Giant Behemoth too.

Is anyone excited for Kong: Skull Island ?

@Koldwarkid62

I wouldn't worry too much if you won't manage to see it in theaters. It's a good movie, but it didn't put every movie but the original to shame as a lot of people seemed to think it would.

This is literally NO different than how the 2014 movie was hyped and to say otherwise is a complete re-write of the lead-up to its release and feigning ignorance. People were already calling the 2014 movie, "the greatest Godzilla movie of all time" before it was even released. Not second. Not third. They had already proclaimed it was #1 before anyone had seen it because it was a, "realistic, dark, gritty, Hollywood production." (And it ended up not even being that.)

There was an entire thread about who were fans' favorite characters in the Godzilla series. Over three months before the 2014 movie was released fans were naming off Joe and Ford--They hadn't even seen the film.

People were more than sure that the 2014 movie would be the ultimate Godzilla film. And it wasn't by any stretch of the imagination. You were included in that hype as well. It was the most insane thing I had ever seen and arguably far more over-the-top than anything said about Shin Godzilla which, alternatively, had elicited reservations from the moment it was announced and even more when the design was revealed. Why? Because it was Toho and they would, "ruin" what Legendary's movie had "accomplished", whatever that was...

"It's going to put G14 in the dust"...Did it?"

Well yes, but that's not exactly a challenge.

even if it is 0% substance, better than an over dramatic, over hyped, period piece about a mutant lizard with operatic overdone music and insane camera shots. By the way I'm not saying Final Wars is better than Shin Godzilla.

You started that asinine listing with the words  "better than." So yes--Yes you did just say Final Wars was better, whether you meant it or not. And do you have any idea what a "period piece" means? Because a period piece, Shin Godzilla is not.

@RR44 - Yes, I am excited for K:SI, but cautiously optimistic and with tempered expectations as well. I was equally jacked for G14, and along with many, felt a bit taken and underwhelmed. I will, however, say I like where they're going with this and how it fits into this expanded monster universe. My butt will be in a theater seat for this come March. I'm hoping it does well to keep momentum going forward.

@Durp004 - Yeah, I know, but I've been around for 54 years and I've seen less than a handful of Godzilla movies in a theater. Always fun to see an "event" film as it should be seen. Plus, it would be good to share that experience with my fellow fans. I'll get over it though, and will see it eventually.

Ok please no flame war. Also there are people with different opinions kay. Japan created Godzilla so many G-fans assume that Shin Gojira will beat Godzilla 2014. But there are some people who became G-fans by watching Edwards Godzilla or simply watching *cough* 1998 and even just liking it better than the Japanese ones! So please put your differences aside and just be friendly.
