At the end of the first 'newish' Godzilla version we left our seats with the words "Godzilla legt noch rasch ein Ei, und dann kommt der Tod herbei".

Coulda went without the love story, took time away from the destruction.
It was about 10 minutes away from a rom com.

3-5 stars. Just cuz Godzilla is always awesome.

5 of 5 stars, the movie is quite good and Godzilla is still a heart-breaker for the age!

Some of my co-workers saw it. From what they told me, it sounds like something to rent/stream. Personally, from what I have heard about it, it is not enough to entice me to go to a theater.

It matches the trend of any modern remake anymore.

I think alot of it comes into peoples expectations based on the fond memories the original invoked.

Godzilla was a staple of my childhood, and while the CGI was awesome, destruction was adequate, they threw too much (human) character development and borderline rom com stuff into it, and didn't make it about the monster.

Remakes stink, just look at how they wrecked the Posiedon Adventure.

It did not outright stink, but the smell of remake was in there, and nearly an hour to get to Godzilla. Sheesh.

My co-workers used the word "plodding" and "ponderous" to describe the action.

I saw it in a 3d theatre, so a rent/stream may not work so well. (freaking epic!)

I may sound like I am bashing the movie, I am not, just giving an honest critique. I enjoyed it, and not a waste of my money at all.

I am the same guy who liked Taken 2, then called on it and beaten up for it, here in this very forum (after a rewatch, rightfully so), so take my words with a grain of salt.

Didn't Mothra team up with Godzilla against some kaiju or something?
You can call Biollante insted, They never team up.

Ghidra was the antagonist...... I think

The little singing midgets were the best.
