Watched it tonight. Thought it was good, but could of been better. I give it 7 fish out of 10. I'm watching this version right now. I still think it's a decent movie. Nowhere near as bad as people say

Nowhere near as bad as people say All Matthew Broderick movies are more enjoyable if you just pretend his character is Ferris Bueller having a wacky adventure. Except Inspector Gadget. Then it just becomes even sadder to watch.

Given the choice I would choose to watch the 1998 over the 2014 100 times out of 100. Neither of them are great but the former at least has aspirations toward presenting interesting characters and entertaining the audience. I would however gladly take Megashark vs Giant Octopus or Mega Pirhana over either. I have no desire to watch Cody Rhodes saunter the wasteland ever again.

I'd like to imagine a single tear of joy running down his cheek as he saw the film.

Saw it tonight. Man, that first roar from Godzilla sent a shiver down my spine. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Am I the only person who was relieved they didn't do the Dark Knight Rises ending(riding out with the nuke) for Ford?

I loved it, but I had some gripes about it too. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}- Not enough Godzilla. They showed the MUTO's quite a bit, but we didn't get to see Godzilla's face until about an hour into the movie. - Fits in with the first one, but they kept teasing the fight scenes. With the huge buildup leading to finally seeing Godzilla at the Honolulu airport, I was expecting a fight between him and the MUTO. Instead, we had to watch it through a living room TV. Then they did it again in downtown San Francisco, where the doors were literally shut on us seeing them fight. I guess they wanted the final fight to be anticipated, but it still pissed me off. - Killing Bryan Cranston's character so soon was a let down. He was the only character in the movie I cared about. He was really the only one who seemed to have an emotional investment in seeing everything unfold. Watanabe's character points to him after the military guy asks if he needs any personnel, then he dies the next scene. Just seems like a waste of a good character.

Just got back from seeing it and I thought it was pretty damn good. Not something I'd see in theaters twice, but definitely enjoyable. I watched many of the dubbed films when I was younger but can barely remember them (except vs King Kong since I owned it). {Spoiler}My only gripe was how many times Kick-Ass was about to die but didn't due to sheer luck. The first time when the monster almost stepped on him while handcuffed in the truck to him scouting ahead for the train and not slaughtered to him coming face to face with the female monster to the bomb going off in 5 minutes and rescued by the helicopter. I know I've probably missed one or two but it seemed pretty repetitive. They did get me interested in not wanting him or his family to die after seeing both his mother and father die practically right in front of him.

I really, REALLY want to see this. Got off work early, but the last showing was sold out.... If I can get up early I'm gonna see it at 10am before work tomorrow. If things don't work out I'm going to see it Monday at the latest.
I'm gonna watch Godzilla '85 tonight to get in the mood.

Saw it yesterday, definitely enjoyable.
Monster films, particularly giant monster films, often thrive when they play on basic fears of the era they're made in, and I think they did a damn good job of it here.
Did we have to wait a long time for Godzilla? Absolutely. But I didn't feel like I was getting annoyed at the wait, either.
A few bits of the plot had a few things lacking, but nothing to derail the film itself.

I'm gonna try and see this whenever I can. Sounds like an awesome movie, but from what I have heard... {Spoiler}The MUTOs have more time than Godzilla.

Not lying. I'd love to timecode that shit. The boring wife absolutely has more time, which is used to show her walking around in various locales such as her home and a hospital. I'm really starting to think it falls like this: 1998 Godzilla is like some of the weaker Showa. Goofy, nerds hate it. 2014 Godzilla is like a 90s Heisei. Boring as f***, nerds love it.

It's reportedly on track to make possibly $98 million on the weekend overalls. The King of the Monsters is back.

I really loved this movie and had a ton of fun watching it. When Godzilla first showed up in all of his glory I couldn't help but have a goofy grin on my face. My better half gave me hell because I was so into it. My complaints: {Spoiler}- Not enough Bryan Cranston. He was easily the best in the movie besides Ken Wantanabe, so it really sucked to see him go so soon. - I though Aaron Taylor-Johnson was pretty terrible as Ford. - I hated the design of the MUTOs and thought they were shown way too much. Which leads me to... - Godzilla wasn't shown enough. Yes, I know this is a cliche complaint about this movie now, but I have to agree. I love and get 'teasing' him throughout the movie, but I'd definitely have preferred to see him more than the MUTO monsters.
