Did anyone go to see Godzilla yet?

Shorty2U — Sun, 18 May 2014 02:54:58 GMT

Has anyone seen Godzilla yet? If so what did you think? DH and I are thinking of going Sunday or sometime this coming week. I saw some posts elsewhere where people typed now THAT was a monster movie. (I always listen more to the public than critics). So I was wondering.

Im glad you (and the other movie viewers) enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know! I will keep checking to see if anyone else went.

I don't want to give out spoilers, so that is why I didn't go into details, shorty. Just the audience reaction

We went to see it Thursday night. Godzilla did not disappoint. Cheers during and at the end.

I've seen every Godzilla movie ever made, thanks Biancardi, now I can justify the money for the movie ticket.

Glad to hear from someone we know that liked it. I might have to catch a matinee tomorrow. I've really been wanting to see it.

I was told Godzilla, himself, was not in the movie as much as they liked. Brian Cranston's character was featured heavily....sounds like they're trying to make it more of a "story" than special effects. Is that true? And take earplugs.....it's a "loud" movie.

Godzilla was in the movie quite a bit during the last quarter of the movie. There were other *things* that were shown as the focal point (all I am saying here..)

Brian's character was not featured heavily throughout the movie. Once you see it, you will know why I said that!

Loud? Only when Godzilla roared...I didn't find it to be a loud movie. But that is subjective - I found Jurassic Park to be louder than Godzilla, oddly enough

as soon as the big boy hits DVD - he is mine! i never care what critics say about a movie - paid and unpaid. i saw earlier this morning it has made $100 million so far - $38.5 million on opening day!

Update- Thanks again Biancardi! -My husband and I went to the early (morning) matinee today. Godzilla IS fabulous! Loved the story line and all too. (I don't want to give it away) But its worth it in 3D. LOVED the effects! We know the guy who works there b/c we go to movies a lot. He said yesterday there were lines out the door with people waiting to see it, that they started the movie late. Today because it was morning there were only about 10 people there besides us. When we left it was getting crowded w people waiting to come in. Anyway I recommend the movie! Its great!

Funny you should mention it! I haven't seen a movie in a theater in YEARS, but I'm so tired of missing events because nobody wants to go with me that I made up my mind to go catch a cheapo matinee this week and see Godzilla by myself. I'm even going to get myself a big greasy popcorn.

So there!

a reviewer called Godzilla the dinosaur samurai- lol. I guess that would fit. Like the Akira Kurosawa films about the lone samurai - grumpy, destructive, but really is a protector

I just called to check on show times... the last matinee just started at 4:30 but there is a 7:00 showing and I'm thinking I will go check it out since there isn't much on tv tonight. Me and Godzilla and Bryan Cranston with a huge bucket of buttered popcorn sounds like a great date!!!!

Yup! That's my plan for Tuesday afternoon! I might even pop for a big drink.

You go girl!!!! If we lived closer I would be your Godzilla buddy, but I'm going solo tonight, and getting the big greasy popcorn!

I had the same thought when I read your post! Have you considered moving to the high desert?
