The 2014 film Godzilla definitely had its ups and downs. On one hand, the special effects and action sequences were simply stunning - the iconic monster looked absolutely incredible on screen, and the scenes of destruction and chaos were breathtakingly realistic. Additionally, the film had a excellent cast of talented actors, including Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Vera Farmiga, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson and more. All delivered great performances.

However, on the downside, the film was a bit slow-moving at times, with lengthy exposition and while it was great to see a more fleshed-out storyline, it could have been executed with a bit more finesse. A little disappointed by the limited screen time given to Godzilla himself, as the film often focused more on the human characters, which is great, but it felt it need more of the monster himself, Godzilla.

Overall, while Godzilla had its flaws in our opinion, it was still entertaining and an impressive spectacle that delivered some truly thrilling moments. This was probably best to be seen in theaters. Looking forward to the next installment.

Godzilla (2014) FULL REACTION

Comments

Ron Banks

They just announced a new Godzilla movie today. Also, did anyone hear about the twilight TV reboot? Also announced today...smh

You know, I'm glad you guys weren't blown away by this one either. I've never been the biggest fan of monster movies so I figured I was just being a grinch about it, but I just could not summon any interest in the movie. I only really watched it because you guys were watching it. I agree with Mason Quinn: on paper, these movies should appeal to me, but in reality giant monsters and robots never really grab my attention. Pacific Rim is the one exception lol.

I just remembered from one of your comments at the end. If you want a movie with a pretty crazy surprise cast of background or secondary characters, watch The Devil All the Time. The main character is Tom Holland but the story it weaves is full of some pretty big name actors you wouldn't even expect to be playing these parts. It's also just an amazing movie

The teasing of seeing the monsters and the fighting was definitely the main criticism when this movie came out.

Do Not Talk About Fight Club

I saw this opening day. Was so excited to see Brian Cranston. And what felt like 10 minutes later, he was gone. Anyway if you guys are doing the monster verse , you might have to put 2017 Skull Island in there. Or you might be confused during the 2021 movie.

Guess I’m in the minority, I liked it just fine. But if you’re into seeing more of the monsters, you’ll love the future installments!

I really like how this one was shot, it really made the monsters feel massive and have weight, a bit like the first Pacific Rim. This is a series I haven't watched so I hope the rest are good.

Badd Medicine

That happens next week since we are doing the monster verse 😁🤙 and agreed... Seeing Byran go quick was not expected at all.

Do Not Talk About Fight Club

Ok great. I didn't see it on May arrivals, but since it's next week, that makes total sense. They did well with the trailers because it made it seem Byran Cranston was a huge part of it lol.

Badd Medicine

Oh that must have upset a handful of people thinking that he was going to be a part of it long term potentially.

this movie got a lot of crap but i really like it, its not perfect but the halo jump scene is amazing, it just needed more with Ken Watanabe and godzilla also should watch the How it should have ended for this one, superman getting ticked off over everyone cheering for godzilla is awesome

JMac

Honestly, I love this movie. Its not perfect, I give it a 6 or a 7. But it's a fun watch. But to Oak's point of the fights feeling slow and Godzilla being really slow even though he's got the same sort of muscle structure, there's actually a bit of science to that. Don't quote me, I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure it's a matter of perspective. From Godzilla's point of view, he's moving normal speed. But to us it seems really slow. It's like with us, we move normally, but to an ant our movements would be really slow.

I know this isi late to the party but just decided to watch the monster films along with you. I saw this in the theaters when it came out and I was stoked. I visited Japan a lot in the 90's and grew up watching the Godzilla cartoon. Godzilla isn't the monster, the story really is, he's the Earths protector from other monsters as well from humans doing monstrous things to the earth. And this is just a set up for the other films to come so going in, i didn't expect to see a lot of Godzilla or a film full of "fight scenes'. I thought we got exactly the amount we needed to tell the story and get the ball rolling on what was to come with the other films. I liked this way more than that awful 98' or whenever it was version. That one completely missed the point on what Godzilla really is. Originally the character was created in Japan and was "awoken" by nuclear radiation etc. First Godzilla was considered a metaphor for the United States after Japan attacking Pearl Harbor. Japan awoken the beast. However in other stories they made Godzilla more of a protector of earth from all horrible threats like nuclear war, other monsters etc. Which this movie and series seems to lean towards, which are the stories I liked as a kid anyway.. So yeah I enjoyed this one very much.
