The Godzilla discussion thread (Spoilers of course)

Technically speaking, it's highly classified how many nukes those subs carry....it's 24 missiles, but probably well over a hundred nukes.

I liked the movie quite a bit as a monster flick.


The only things that stuck in my craw:

1) so why is Godzilla hunting the Muta's?

He kills them and walks away.

Did one kill his mother?


2) so why the hell would they send the nuke, knowing they attract them, near the path of the female? Seems like the mission was doomed to failure. Should have flown it in most of the way, approaching SF by boat.

3) going on about how badass the bomb was.....no way it doesn't knock the rescue chopper out of the air, or cause massive damage with only 5 minutes to get clear.

4) Speaking of.....no way they can do all the shite they do in only an hour after turning the key.

I had a comfortable 2 o clock showing. I enjoyed it but ya, running the train (ha) where they ran it made zero sense

I didn't particularly like Cranston's son either. His childish voice kind of annoys me

Some of the scenes were awe inspiring, and that it's what you pay for

I thought it was awesome.


The special FX were really good. I usually get sick of the over the top CGI stuff but they did this one right.


The classic "roar" was awesome to hear again.


I was watching it, thinking of this Godzilla toy I had when I was, I'm guessing, around 5 or 6 years old. I thought he (Godzilla) was so cool. My mom and I would watch the old movies and I just got into them.

I remember watching the Godzilla Saturday morning cartoon and sort of using that as how this should go. Anyone who watched it knows what I mean.

The atomic breath was awesome. I knew it was coming and I almost started clapping when he did it. That last scene with the female Muto where he uses his atomic breath...... awesome.

The final fight was really cool and I'm glad we (humans) did what we did in the old movies and even the cartoon. He's not our enemy. "Up from the depths, 30 stories high....."


I really liked it. I'll definitely get it when it comes out on DVD. They did a great job.

Also, why did they need to do all that to get a nuke to SF when a sub carries 24 nukes?

Remember, the muto's hunted down all the nuke subs in the Pacific and ate them, and in the time frame one on east coast couldn't have made it. No matter how it was shipped the Muto's were going to go after it. Train possibly gave them the best shot at defending it?

I just want to know why there was even a need for the male muto. The female just dug a hole and laid her eggs.

My main question is how did that nuke not wreck everything on the west coast when it went off? How did it not knock that chopper out of the air? It wasn't under water, and was only 5 minutes out.

I'm not gonna watch this movie, just bc I'm not into this kind of stuff, but I'm curious about where Godzilla comes from? Is it an alien?

No I don't remember this. I remember one Muto walking from Nevada to San Fran, and another eating a russia sub on Hawaii, but they never mentioned the others.

I knew Godzilla was the good guy once they showed all the ships floating with him.

same as most egg laying animals?

I like how he just walks off like a boss

I love how they showed him limping back to the coast
