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.

Here are some people who thought Godzilla was real

Quick! Get Mothra! Godzilla remakes can't be stopped!

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.
