The cynical thing to say about the weekend’s box office is that, well, obviously, American audiences went for the giant monster movie.
The latest "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer gave us a glimpse at the MCU's golden boys kicking butt and taking names - as well as a whole mess of Easter eggs.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Now if only the movie were "good." Really shouldn't call it Godzilla. It felt like a better title would have been Lieutenant Ford Brody: Featuring MUTO's Plus a Godzilla Cameo.
(I'll probably throw some spoilers into this rant, so you've been warned)
And I'm hearing people compare this film to the likes of Jaws, which I believe is completely ridiculous, but the reason Jaws got away with not giving the shark a ton of screen time was because the human characters were deeply interesting.
Had Godzilla focused on Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe's characters, this probably would have been a much better film. Instead we are continuously thrown back to Ford Brody and his wife, and they make it very difficult for the audience to care about them.
Brody's wife might be the most ridiculous character I've seen in any movie in a long while. Her husband's missing so she sets her cellphone to vibrate and puts it out of sight. Then she sends her kid away to be with someone else while there are disastrous events unfolding.
To me, the most frustrating part of the whole film was the Hawaii scene. It's got to be nearly an hour into the film, and the monsters FINALLY start fighting. Suddenly, the film cuts to a scene of Ford's son watching the event unfold on the news rather than actually showing the audience the action. It's funny at first, but when you realize they're not going to cut back to the battle in Hawaii, it's infuriating.
All in all, Godzilla himself is on the screen for 20 minutes tops. 20 minutes out of a 2 hour film. There's a decent battle at the end, but at that point, it's simply too little too late.
I know I probably seem overly bitter, but I was just so disappointed. I looked forward to seeing this film for so long to see Godzilla, not to see the guy who plays Kick-Ass run around and play with bombs while Godzilla does his own thing elsewhere in the city and off-screen.
Why you want to spoil the movie for those who have not seen it yet?
Retard.
The article is about the movie's box office haul, this is not a movie review article. Even then its not cool to spill the story of the movie. Why don't you take your review opinion piece to a movie forum.
Apologies for the name calling but im tired of people spoiling movies on articles that doesn't even relate to what transpires in said movie.
Movie was a disappointment.
I shouldnt be saying this but(grab your popcorn) Twilight is a better love story.
I'm interested in seeing it, but something is holding me back.
Possible spoilers
People are saying Godzilla is hardly in it, and the one thing I wanted to happen (a battle between two monsters) hardly happens at all. The director made the indie film Monsters which had the same exact flaw, so I'm afraid I won't like it because of that.
