4. LESS OFF-SCREEN ACTION
The whole "Jaws" comparison doesn't hold up. Godzilla is a giant monster that everyone knows and recognizes; only showing glimpses of him in order to "build suspense" just doesn't work - its actually a bit annoying and tedious. Every time there was a major action sequence the camera moved away from and/or cut away from the action which was incredibly disappointing. While I agree there should be some build-up, the way the action cut away when Godzilla finally shows up is frustrating. I want to see less of that in the sequel.
3. NO OTHER MONSTERS or OTHER MONSTER(S) BUT GODZILLA AS THE FOCUS
The movie was more of a MUTO movie than a Godzilla one. So either have another monster but focus mainly on Godzilla or focus entirely on Godzilla. They could honestly just do Godzilla vs military and then introduce another monster in the 3rd act and I'd be more than happy.
2. RETURN OF SERIZAWA AND GRAHAM
I disliked most of the main characters in the movie and killing off Cranston's was a huge mistake. The only other characters that I actually liked or was interested in were the "scientist" characters of Serizawa (played by Ken Watanabe) and Graham (played by Sally Hawkins). I'd like to see a lot more of them in the sequel.
1. MORE GODZILLA
Godzilla wasn't at all the focus of the movie despite the title. He sorta just shows up about an hour into it, with little mention of him before hand. Most of the military also just brushes off the fact that Godzilla exists and focuses most of their attention on the MUTOs. In the sequel I'd like to see much more Godzilla, more early on.
What do you want to see in Godzilla 2?
