Highly recommend if you are fan big G or like this type of genre
How would you compare it to Pacific Rim?
I love PR too, however they are kind of different Godzilla story line is deeper/heavier than PR. PR back story was summed up fast in the opening of the film then got right to the action, with a light back story in between to slow the pace of the film. Godzilla gives more balance of the human side along with the monsters. I guess it's hard for me to compare them, now for the next Godzilla sequel I believe will have more action now that the origins are out of the way but still provide a great story as well. I'm hopeful especially if they keep the same writer and director, I thought the script was very well done.
i agree, Pacific rim was essentially a tribute, a montage towards the genre, but didnt have enough oomph to call it 'godzilla' quality. it had that entertainment factor but didnt have the essence that made godzilla er... godzilla.
came home from watching it earlier. i was trying to log in but the server had issues. its been a while since ive watched a release date movie. this one HAD to be the one for me. even captain america went on two weeks notice before i went thru with it. anyways, i was terrified by the amount of possible viewers etc. but the showing i went to wasnt too bad.
MILD SPOILER AHEAD....
i watched it in regular 2D, wifey cant handle 3d as much. i loved the way the movie unfolded, and how it made sure it paid its dues to the roots it came from. very well done acting, baseline of the story quickly established. the only thing that bothered me was the secondary story and how it somehow, well, they stretched it too much. it became to complicated towards the end.
END SPOILER section...
in essence, i am also a fan of the series, i loved the fact that the camera angle at times displayed the '2D effect' we are used to, but also shows different angles as well to show its difference, its maturity.
three things that bothered me,
VERY VERY MILD SPOILER ALERT AGAIN (will not be ruined if you purposely viewed the trailer and dissected it)...
1. Kickass is still kickass. his beautiful green eyes are still puppy eyes to me. :happy-smileygiantred:
2. Godzilla really really looks like the california bear to me. :teasing-tease:
3. can anyone say treadstone? treadstone anyone?
well worth the movie. well worth the money.
