Godzilla Attacks San Francisco

[Ridge]

I heard it was shit as well.. It can wait till netflix.

Who'd you hear that from? Because Godzilla raked in $93 million in it's first weekend.

Well ruthabaga for one.. But also someone I know that seems to like lots of the movies I like so the opinion is valid.

Does opening weekend money make a difference anymore with it costing $12 for a ticket?

How much a film makes on its first weekend is no sure sign of quality. The box office can also be affected by not having any other competing activities, the quality (or lack thereof) of competing films, smart publicity, etc. Popularity has nothing to do with quality -- the Obama and Clinton administrations are/were leading indicators of that principle.

Like Aloha said, and opening weekend proves nothing except the marketing campaign was successful. Now we have word of mouth and reviews to propel it in the following weeks... I saw it Sat, loved it and talked to some people who didn't like it as much. I can only state my opinion and say how much I enjoyed it then let everyone else see for themselves and form their own opinion.

Ah, well, if two people say it sucks. 3 people here say it's awesome, so I guess now it's good again?

I have heard reviews that cover the whole gamut.

Most of the negative reviews I've seen are people upset that Godzilla wasn't in full frame for the entire 2 hours. Ignoring that he's never been the central character in any of the movies. He's always been a plot device, and the story has always been about Humanity's attempts to stop the assault.

Is it safe to say many negative reviewers haven't seen the originals?

Why I did not like it:

**** SPOILER ALERT ******

- Only interesting character in the movie (Bryan Cranston) dies within 30 min.
- Ken Watanabe character is undeveloped and seems to be in some kind of constant meditation...
- Yep, they did recycle a set from Prometheus as the "skeleton cave" in the Philippines.
-Note to the US Airforce: you need to have your plane protected against EMPs....No really, I know they are, but it seems that they are not, or maybe it's because it would cut the movie to 20 min if they were
-you see Godzilla 4 times in the movie....
-It has to be easier to move a full ICBM by train, than to just detach one of the warheads and carry it by truck. (looks like the ICBM were recycled prop from the first Superman movie)
-Note to all HiLo jumper out there: you MUST wear bright red flares while jumping.... you know... so that people and monster can see you!
-Bridge scene with the Muto, is so predictable I took a bathroom break.
-The CGI is rather generic and mostly unexciting.

Don't get me wrong: it's an ok movie to rent on Netflix, but not a blockbuster, and I regret the money I spend watching it.

Godzilla ain't sheeeiit unless he is in black and white, poorly dubbed over and smashing toy tanks and balsa wood houses.
