Uber weird brother in law thought it was too anti-nuclear.

Saw it yesterday. Didn't really care for it. The first hour really dragged. I didn't really like the casting other than Bryan Cranston.

Should have went to see X Men instead. Heard it was much better.

This...almost changed my mind at the ticket booth...wish I had

Saw this over the weekend.

What a let down. Better than the last one, but slow and not much action.

1. Thought this was a Godzilla movie- but you get 5 minutes of GZ and a lame roar at the end when he saves the day.

2. I hated they made Godzilla a good guy. I guess the director didn't watch the original. GZ is payback for Nuclear testing and human's destroying the earth. He is the stuff of nightmares, destroyer of worlds. Not a house cat and buddy to mankind.

3. Bryan Cranston-was in the previews as much as the movie. Great story line- then times up.

4. Two bad monsters- not even sure what happened to the scrawny male Muto? Every time he would fight Godzilla-a door would close, or some other lame way to kill the action.

5. Godzilla playing dead at the end?? What- was he tired? Then bounces back like Rocky to the applause of people that supposedly just lost their loved ones and homes?

6. A blue flame? Is he powered by propane now?

7. The director uses the old-Night time- (from a dust cloud to make it dark-lame) and also a sudden rain storm in the desert to hide the fight between the monsters. Hard to tell what was going on?

8. The same old ending-finding the loved one in a refugee camp of thousands. Seen it.

9. The nurse handing her kid off to some nurse friend before the coming attack to stay and wait for her man? What women hands her kids off in any situation?

10. This movie was slow and boring- the Jaws attempt to build excitement-failed on every level.

I was really hoping for something close to the original-but instead got the last Godzilla movie all over again. Maybe someone will get it right someday-but this one was a big fail.

2 stars out of 5

Needed more Bryan Cranston, more fighting and lots more Godzilla.

You were hoping for a remake of the original, or something close to it, even when all the previews and interviews with the cast said it wasnt? Even the story plot kinda gives you a elbow nudge that the bikini atoll testing didn't create him.

Reading your points, one would think that you didn't actually watch the movie.

Judging by that post he loved the 1998 version.

Disappointed in both Godzilla and X-Men?

Did someone poop in your oatmeal or what?

I was expecting Godzilla to be good based on the previews and the big budget it had-but watching it through a gas mask - sky dive goggles and the blurry vision trick got old fast.

X men was better than what I expected because the last one was so bad.

He's the Devin Faraci of chiefsplanet. Anything popular that he reviews poorly is a must see.
