Not surprised. Same the trailers made it seem like 10 monsters in a battle Royale destroying half the world in the process. Why would I wanna watch cgi monster battles for 2 hours? Atleast the 1998 and 2014 version was grounded and realistic --- Sent from my IPhone X ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lmao at Godzilla 1998 being "grounded and realistic."
An almost 300 foot lizard being able to creep through New York City undetected with the entire Army looking for it is realistic. The director himself admitted that he would watch Godzilla movies when he was younger just to laugh at them. He never had any respect for the franchise. By far the worst Godzilla movie. --- ...

You don't fucking believe this.. and the problem with Godzilla 2014 was it made no sense teasing a monster that everyone ALREADY FUCKING KNOWS and has for decades. We all know what Godzilla does, looks like etc etc To take the Jaws route and slow build was completely devoid of dramatic tension because Godzilla is so well established in pop culture. If you can pull off a cool human story, go for it. The fact is its very hard creating new human characters with no established history for audiences to care about within two hours.

Easily the worst Godzilla. I havent seen it yet but Im confident its the worst. Personally, I think it lacked the charm and personality of the originals but also failed to connect to the previous films audience. It completely ignored the established lore of the past films but also failed at creating its own. Its visually pleasing but the cast is bland as well as the film. 3/10

In Godzilla Versus Monster Zero, Godzilla has approximately 6 minutes of screentime. The absence of Godzilla is hardly noticeable because of the other monsters on screen and the interesting story woven into the film.
If you look at the original Alien, the creature has less than 4 minutes of screentime in total. It's not the time you spend on screen. It's what you do with that time. Now, Godzilla '14 was no Jaws. Godzilla abruptly disappears and that wreaks of sloppy editing. But it wasn't enough to ruin the film for me. While I have little faith in the human element of this film, I trust the monster fight will deliver. Leonard Maltin gave Godzilla 1985 a half-star out of four and that's quite possibly the best Godzilla movie aside from the original. Godzilla's never been a friend of critics. I'll withhold judgment until I've seen the film myself. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean even ignoring the monsters, 2014 wasted its human-side potential with Cranston and Watanabe. And turned the second half of the movie into the same kind of dumb military wank as the Transformers movies.
Plenty of Godzilla movies have human stories that are either good, interesting, or at least entertaining. (GMKs Yuri is best girl. Godzilla 2000s fan club father/daughter team were adorable, Against MechaGodzillas heroine was sympathetic and rugged at the heart strings, Biollante dealt with loss and obssession in an interesting way.) But if you cant make them interesting for whatever reason, may as well play to your strengths and lean on the action. Final Wars was basically nothing but action and I really liked it --- https://i.imgtc.com/8ePXf9B.gif If Yamcha would have brought his bat along he'd have blasted Jiren out of the ring like Ness in smash brothers. - Gids_goft ...

If youre fine with some incredibly stupid people playing second fiddle to glorious kaiju moments, King of the Monsters will provide one of the best popcorn blockbusters of the summer. But if you wanted a Godzilla movie that had something, anything to say about its destruction? Then youll be definitely looking for something meatier than Ghidorah flank to chew on. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a big, kinda silly, but otherwise exciting blockbuster. Its gorgeous, its epic in the extreme, and it features some of the most impressive monster fights youve ever seen. Maybe someday Americans will make a Godzilla movie that isnt just badass, but which also works on another level and resonates in a meaningful way. Globe-trotting but not adventurous, action-packed but not remotely exciting, utterly overstuffed and completely paper-thin. Nuke it from orbit. these quotes from reviewers pretty much says what this Godzilla film needed, actually plot with Humans to keep it interesting and grounded in reality instead of 2 hours of cgi monster fighting --- Sent from my IPhone X ...

"Not enough human scenes" It's true though. The best stories are about people.

Makes me wonder what people hated so much about the 1998 movie. The problem with Roland Emmerich's Godzilla was how weak it made the monster.
