Godzilla Thread

Hopefully next movie...more Big G!

Sad to say,  I fell asleep.

Too boring, or were you too tired?

Maybe both, because I got tired of waiting for Godzilla to appear.  The cockroaches, I believe had more screen time.  The title says Godzilla, so I was very anxious to see the main character. 

Maybe I'll ask my friend to lend me his other Godzilla movies.

I've noticed that is a common complaint. Gojira basically plays second fiddle to the Mutos and the humans. Makes me wish Toho would go back to making their own Godzilla films. Why can't the franchise return to the people who created him the best?

John Conway and Tetrapod Zoology's Darren Naish recently covered Godzilla on their "Tetrapodcats" podcast. I'll have to agree with John on this one - although they're both awful, Godzilla 2014 is significantly less enjoyable than Godzilla 1998.

So Conway didn't like it?

Conway didn't like it, he actually prefers the 1998 version. The reverse is true for Naish but both Conway and Naish seemed to agree on the 2014 films strong points and weak points. It's worth checking out. They talk about the original film, the 1998 and the 2014 films.

I think the hiatus TOHO is on should be ending soon..so a new film is possible. I had heard he was losing a bit of a fanbase in Japan though and they weren't making as much money.  These films are pretty cheap in the first place by U.S. standards.

my old uncle fell asleep while watching the movie (even during Gojira moments)

[tyrantqueen]

I've never had my parents or anyone else fall asleep during cinema trips. Not even (back in back in 1998) when I, a Pokemon obsessed seven year old, dragged my dad (kicking and screaming I might add ) to watch Pokemon: The First Movie. My dad is like the laziest guy you can imagine, to boot.

old folks fall asleep even during exciting shows LOL

I do all the time but I've never fallen asleep in a movie theater...almost though, a couple times.

The sequel is in the works! Also its confirmed that mothra, rodan and ghidorah will be in the sequel!
I hope mothra and rodan will be accidental allies like in Heisei era.
OffTopic: King Kong prequel named Skull Island its set to be release november 4, 2016

Where did you hear that? Sounds interesting.

It appears to be news coming out of SDCC.

I didn't know a new "King Kong" movie was in the works. That's exciting. I really loved the world they created on Skull Island in the Peter Jackson movie and would love to see more of it.

[CityRaptor]

It could also be based on DeVito's King of Skull Island.

Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, cool! I wonder how they will get worked into this more "realistic" take.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

hope they get Anguirus in one eventually.

I read rumors that 4 years ago when Legendary get the rights for Godzilla,  they bought 6 more monster rtights: Rodan, Ghidorah, Mothra and Anguirus. I didnt believe it, but the first 4 were confirmed. Anguirus will be in the final movie?

[CityRaptor]

Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, cool! I wonder how they will get worked into this more "realistic" take.

Maybe how Matt Frank drew him for Godzilla Neo.

[Gwangi]

That is a great looking Anguirus. Would love to see him in a movie.
