did you miss the part about all the planes falling out of the sky?
how hard can it be to stay 20 miles away?
another part that made me bust out laughing in the theater was when they put ground troops on the hawaiian island to locate the russian sub and MUTO.
there were planes and heilos flying all around but no one saw the giant arse muto or sub sticking straight in the air until the guys on the ground saw it first

Saw this today and I found it bleh.
Just not enough Godzilla and too much of the actors on the ground.
I didn't go to the movie to see kick arse and the other olsen sister. I went to see Godzilla.
Disappointed.

you are right, most of the godzilla movies introduce godzilla's opponent before godzilla hits the screen. However, we've never waited 90 minutes to see Godzilla in all his glory
This movie was two hours long. I'm pretty sure the old movies were not this long. Actually mothra vs godzilla was 1-1/2. So comparing the wait time in terms of minutes may skew the numbers a tad

It wasn't an hour and a half before we saw Godzilla anyways, which is why I ignored the post

the nuke is on the train and when the train crashed, the picked up the nuke and carried it to the site with a heilocopter. question, why didn't they use the heilocopter in the first place? why bother with the slow arse train
why not just have some nuke subs draw them off?

i read that there will be a director's cut DVD release, with 12 extra minutes...supposedly a few plot holes will be explained better, an extra action sequence or two will be put back in, and akira takarada (from several toho 'godzilla' films, including the original) has a cameo that didn't make the theatrical cut. unfortunately, i read this at work 12 hours ago, so i forgot the link...you'll just have to take my word for it...

Thought they said something about the closest nuclear sub being on the east coast.

dunno if it has been posted yet, but this gaping hole made me laugh.
I figured you would like the mile long run to get out of containment of the Westinghouse PWR more. Or how containment only had the single door. Also where was the screening for those coming out of containment? Dude just runs right up to the million dollar door.
The not knowing half your mountain was gone in a secure nuclear trash storage facility is probably the worst though. That thing would be covered in seismic sensors.
I still enjoyed the movie though. Needed more monster battling.

prior to the final fight sequence in san francisco, all we got was under water or partial body shots of godzilla. they revealed his face at the honolulu airport and then immediately cut away. thats why the biggest complaint on here is that there wasn't enough of godzilla.

The thing that struck me most as WTF? was a Navy EOD guy doing an untrained HALO jump and touching down as perfect as a butterfly in an urban environment among numerous crumbling, burning skyscrapers.
His accent was touch-and-go, too.
Loved the movie overall. Godzilla finishing off Mom with an atom breath french kiss was killer.

I was a bit disappointed.
I thought the movie was merely good, nowhere near great.
I thought I was going to see GODZILLA, not "Army Men Try to Get Atomic Bomb to a Boat With Monsters in the Background."
Godzilla and Bryan Cranston were great. It would have been nice to see more of them.

I think if we saw too much Godzilla this thing would have gone way over budget.
The CGI looked really good in this film.

there were still multiple action/cgi scenes without godzilla. the transformers movies were loaded with more cgi, they could have easily included godzilla in more scenes.

The old movies or more recent Gamera flicks are more enjoyable. This? An actual 300 foot lizard couldn't make a bigger piece of shite than this.

Just saw this last night here are my opinions on someone who never saw the original Godzilla flicks but kind of know how he was like the Terminator (1st a bad guy turned good)
1) I actually enjoyed how the Navy Admiral actually listened to the scientist and considered his opinions. I had gotten used to the macho military man calling the scientist some kind of weak sissy and completely ignoring the smart guy's foreshadowing.
2) I had forgotten all about Godzilla's fire breathing ability. That shot where his tail started to glow blue and then up his back before he spit it out
Also, the tail-whip kill of the male was also
3) I also had a problem with how some of the special forces at the end. At the end there were just a handful of them shooting at the female, standing in place, clearly having no effect on her, but they just continue sit there and keep shooting until she wipes them out. What kind of special forces training is that.
4) Someone here also mentioned why Godzilla would be friendly. We nuked him in the '50s and shot at him when he came to San Fran but Godzilla just ignored that all together? Also, I can't seem to recall, did it ever mention why Godzilla was even on the surface in the '50s?
5) I understand how the EMP attack would make sense in the modern era if they're trying to knock out a modern military.. but as an ancient monster creature why would they have ever evolved that ability? It had no effect on Godzilla. No reason for them to have that at all.
But yes, it was a monster flick so the small details are neither here nor there. I enjoyed it.

Just got back. My administration approves of this film
Loved the opening. Cranston was money. Was not expecting his quick departure.
Funny how so many people whined about the non-stop action in Superman and now so many people are whining there wasn't enough.
I thought the effects were really good. Sure a little bit more of the monsters fighting would have been nice but I loved what we got. Especially the tale flick and the Head Shot.
I was fully entertained. Would watch a sequel.
Myth's Weak Points & Nitpicks
1. If the nuke didn't kill Zilla in the 50s why did anyone think it would current day? Yeah, I know the guy said this was 10,000 times stronger or some such nonsense.
2. Why did they think a couple of warheads would attract the monsters. There had to be 100s of Nuke Power Plants between the monsters. Not to mention Nuke Missile factories. That whole part of the plot was a bit hamfisted.
3. The touching moment, that writers and directors love to hit us with. The movie would have been better if the little japanese kid slid OUT of the train. Didn't happen and we get the impossible reunion scene like War of the Worlds.
4. Getting arse kicked then inexplicably become Mr. Badass.
Sure, that is the formula for every Zilla movie but I don't like it.
5. Old school music. I really wish they would have incorporated the original score into the movie. At least somewhat. Would have been a nice touch. I barely noticed the score and nothing stuck out. Old School Zilla, the score was always awesome.
6.Someone already stated that the EMP burst didn't make much sense. I guess maybe in the past when the Mutant Monsters walked the earth there were some that spcialized in electrical attacks like King Ghidorah.
7. News station immediately proclaiming Zilla the city savior hours after Zilla helped kill about 250,000 people.
8. Sure was a lot of video footage even though the EMP monsters were knocking out all power whereever they went.
9. Monster love was a bit too much like Edward's Monsters. Also the plot with the baby monsters was a bit to similar to the last Zilla movie plot.
10. The score. Yeah, I already mentioned it, but It is such a strong nitpick, I think it should be mentioned again. They were smart enough to bring back the roar but I guess not smart enough or unwilling to pay additional royalties for the score.
11. IMAX 3-D was crap. Almost nonexistent 3-D. Not worth the extra money but I think all showings were 3-D.
I think we need to start a 3-D thread and list the good 3-D vs pure thievery 3-D.
Previous poster wondered why Zilla was friendly. He wasn't. He didn't give a crap about us. We are inconsequential. Do you stomp on every ant you see or chase every bee?
In OT language: He is the Alpha and those other punks were betas who needed to be put in their place. Now he is back in his man cave eating a sandwich, drinking a cold bud and waiting for the next punk arse beta to show up thinking they are alpha.

I thought the movie was awesome. Godzilla and the monsters were done perfectly, I thought. Didn't mind the long build up at all.
The weakest part of the film was the humans. I would have dropped the 1999 sequence - nothing was learned here that we couldn't have gotten off the walls from Brody's apt, and his wife's death was so laughably melodramatic that it pulled me out of the film.
I also would have scaled back the younger Brody's scenes, particularly the Hawaii ones.
I would have liked to see more of the Japanese doctor and the admiral, though. I liked their scenes together.
