The fact that the soldier had to use binoculars to be able to see the 300ft monster rampaging towards the city slayed me.
Also
"hit the deck!" made us laugh as well.

HowSomebody makes some glorious E3 gif out ofplease.Godzilla shooting lazers
Fix that tag please. Yeah, there were a couple of stupid moments, like why would theystore the radioactive egg with their nuclear waste in the first place? Actually the military didn't exactly come off as particularly smart.
I didn't mind it though.
Mako and Raleigh are screwed.Both movies are awesome.
NoAnything after or during the credits?
Sitting in an Imax right now, this is it guys.
Anything after or during the credits?
The gif should then pan out and have Antonio Banderas do the Assassins pose.I dunno, just put Kaz Hirai's face on Godzilla, XBO on Muto's body and write something on the bottom like "gtfo" or "sony, bitch!", something along those lines
Ken Wantanabe looks shocked.
Sat there near the end and turned to my brother and saidand about 30 seconds later you see"I hope he has his atomic breath"a faint blue glow as his tail emerges out of the smoke and the dust and I almost squealed like a little girl.
It was so fucking beautiful :*)
Reading a lot of the GAF impressions I honestly have no clue what a lot of you were expecting. It's a movie about a giant lizard that beats shit up, what do you really want from the human characters?

Like I said, if you're a Godzila fan you have to go see it. You absolutely have to.Reading a lot of the GAF impressions I honestly have no clue what a lot of you were expecting. It's a movie about a giant lizard that beats shit up, what do you really want from the human characters?
Now I didn't like the film at all, I did really like the look of Godzilla though, amazing design accompanied with fucking incredible sound design. However, as much as I didn't like it, or enjoy it, that scene put a smile on my face, that was amazing to look at.
Most Godzilla movies have terrible characters, honestly. It's a lot like the ol'summer blockbuster. They aren't there to be deep and well developed, IMO. Godzilla films are about the event that's occurring in addition to the monster battle. The characters server as the view to explore that and to experience the struggle. Good character drama is kind of like adding the cherry on top or an extra layering of icing on a cake when it's available though.

See, everyone has identified the trend of having shallow, basic characters but imagine how much richer the film could be if we could buck it! The formula is just being abused at this point and I don't understand why. Is it considered playing it safe? Because having everyone understand that the human element is terrible is probably an indicator that it's not a good thing.

Here you have some top actors being wasted on some very ordinary dialogue and shit nobody cares about. Pacific Rim hit that mix of dumb dialogue and awesome action perfectly in a way that this movie didn't but I don't care because
GODZILLA IS GODZILLA AND EVERYTHING ELSE CAN SUCK IT
Just got back from a screening. Only made it about an hour then split. I don't understand how you spend so much money making a movie and then make every human character in it be as boring as can be. Such a waste.
It's called GODZILLA not INTERESTING HUMAN

Then dont waste the first 45 minutes showing me a boring family living in a world somehow complete devoid of color, emotion, or a single interesting moment. Both Cloverfield and Pacific Rim managed to have interesting first acts. Godzilla couldn't be bothered to do that so I couldn't be bothered to stay for the rest.
From a review at AICN:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67271
I ended up talking with producer Thomas Tull and while I was thanking him for helping me out with the tickets a Japanese man came up and Tull immediately looked nervous. So, what did you think? The man answered that he and his colleagues were amazed with the movie and couldn't believe how perfectly Godzilla was captured. This is the Godzilla from my childhood. He said this with a hand over his heart, I swear to God. Tull looked taken aback, both relieved and amazed at the same time. After the man left, Tull leaned over to me and said, He's the head of Toho.
Premiere after parties are always a place of much pleasantry, but you could tell both the Toho guy and Tull were really emotional about the experience and that moment was something special to witness firsthand, let me tell you.
Several times the people in the cinema laughed out loud at how sneaky the enormous monsters managed to be. That scene wherethe soldiers are 'checking' on stores of nuclear waste and they open one door and the whole fucking side of that hill is blasted open and then we see the Muto heading for Las Vegas. HOW DID THEY MISS THAT. How did the choppers miss that?
I really loved howthe entire world that wasn't directly affected seemed like 'Oh, giant monsters have appeared and are destroying cities, meh', as evidenced by no one ever caring about the "BREAKING NEWS - GIANT MONSTERS DESTROY EVERYTHING, END OF DAYS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" TV news. The Vegas scene cracked me up.
It's weird, but I liked those kinda stupid/goofy moments. The only plot hole (?) that I found a bit weird was.that the female Muto was already pregnant. I mean, it's not necessarily a plot hole, but the movie originally seemed to imply that the two Mutos were trying to find each other to procreate, but then she's already pregnant
Yah but you paid for a movie...at least see the main attraction.
Edit: you said "screening" so maybe you got in for free.
Again, godzilla movies are always like this - godzilla doesn't take up the whole movie in his films. Now yeah the human portion they need to improve on, but godzilla is always never on screen a lot.
