So happy how this film turned out. One of the best experiences I've had in theaters was watching this in IMAX. A true Godzilla film, even Toho loved it.

it seems today is concept art day.
anyway, that "extended" clip is missing the most awesome moment of the movie, the atomic breath reveal.

Loved Godzilla, could have used MORE Godzilla in his own movie, but overall very pleased with the final cut of the film.

Nice job. Those are awesome.

You know, I wish they went with their original concept for why the three monsters were fighting in the first place.

The Muto's were parasites that implanted their eggs in the Godzilla species due to the radiation they generated. That's what the skeleton was all about.

The giant skeletal body of another 'Godzilla' where the first Muto emerged from laid the framework that the egg was in that corpse at one point. The Muto were like those insects that implant an egg into a caterpillar or a spider and either kill it and drag it somewhere to be consumed by the larvae or the egg eventually hatches and kills the host.

They just never touched on it, or brought it up at all. Even though it would have made the motivations a lot more understandable.

As it turned out, a lot of people were confused as to why Godzilla suddenly appeared and was tracking them down other than what Watanbae was saying about 'habitual behavior' ect, but in one of the script drafts the Muto were a natural predator of his species and they eventually came after him to implant the egg into so he was really defending himself and fighting off a natural predator.

Well, now we can tell who's seen the original films guys...
Seriously, in almost every movie in which Godzilla fights another creature, the focus of the movie is dedicated to introducing that other creature. Sooooo...what's the problem with this movie?

the movie is very good,something lacked though,IMHO it was the notion that bigG should be as menacing to the humanity as much as it was to the MUTOS.
before getting to the MUTOS,Godzilla should HAD STOMPED SOME ARMY TROOPS and destroyed some ships.
basically the enemy of my enemy is my Allie kind of deal.

I was pretty happy with it. My penis leaked a little when he charged up that first fire burst and his spikes lit up.

@Maia87
1) The characters were only meant to show how an event like Godzilla would affect normal people. They don't have to all be Bryan Cranston level actors.
2) The teasing was purposeful. The teased Godzilla so that the final reveal in all of it's glory would be a tense payoff.
3) How else was he gonna get there if he wasn't swimming? They showed him swimming so that his presence in the movie could be built up.

people complaining not enoguh Godzilla. HAve you people ever watched the originals? Godzilla is only in the end most of the time. the first hour is a bunch of dubbed Japanese with the reveal of the Other monster. thats exactly what they did in this movie. you thought it was going to b like Pacific Rim with non stop action? doesnt anyone realize what their watching anymore?

Remember "Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster", where he fought that giant, f#@ked up lobster? I just love those old monster pictures. :)

This movie really doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.
Sure, it definitely had problems, but at the same time, it got a LOT of stuff right!

Less teasing would have been nice, but teasing was better than throwing it all at our faces 15 mins in!
Seriously, all the old Godzilla movies followed this same basic formula! (Minus the multi-million dollar budgets... :P )
The director clearly was a fan, and wanted to make as respectful a movie as he could, while still updating it...and I think he did a GREAT job!

(But yeah, more fighting next time would be awesome. :P )

Oh, and @Humperdink

You picked up on that too?
I kinda got the impression that Gareth assumed the audience was observant enough to pick up on that and fill in the blanks...

He might have underestimated some of his audience tho... :P

Loved this movie. But hated the stupid MUTO. Still don't understand why they didn't go into the extensive catalog monsters the Godzilla universe holds.

@DestroyallTrolls
I agree, I liked both movies, and unlike a lot of people we can see that Godzilla and Pacific Rim are not the same type of movie, even though their both monster movies they are different

I liked the Motus. Godzilla shouldn't fight the same monsters over and over again, plus it was like old school kaiju versus new school kaiju (clover field)

thatcoldblackcloud - 8/28/2014, 10:25 AM
Great move. Could've used more 'Zilla action but overall it kept the whole feel of the original Toho films and had this "Jaws" tone to it. Loved it.

GuyRot - 8/28/2014, 4:06 PM
@ELxDIABL1TO legendary didnt own the rights to the original toho godzilla villains so they created new original monsters for godzilla to battle

Guys we get it Godzilla had too much teasing and could have used more Cranston but you honestly can't tell me that you went to see a movie called "Godzilla" and expected great human character development. When I see a Godzilla film I want to see A: Godzilla and B: Godzilla fighting other monsters. I'm not saying the human characters shouldn't have been better or not in the film at all but they are really just minor characters that are apart of a much bigger picture.
