I loved this movie. Cast was amazing. CGI was great. There was freaking fighter jets on the Brooklyn bridge. Godzilla was lean and badass. The logo was dope. The roar was iconic. The cinematography was great. People that hate on this movie didnt watch it at the correct age at the correct time. Better than jurassic world 2 or 3 (jurassic park 1 and jurassic world were the two best dinosaur movies of all time).

[@РыжийСтарпом]

Я жо сих пор думаю что этот Годзилла гораздо лучше любых японских поделок. Мне не нужна аллюзия на атомную бомбу, мне нужен крутой ящер.

[@seniorordenanza2387]

So if I may, most of the people that didn’t like this movie are mostly the ones who grew up with the old school Godzilla movies. And those movies did have a certain lore of Godzilla if you will. It’s kinda evolved over time and yea he did at first start off a just a monster created from nuclear radiation but still he had a certain character to him. This movie kinda ignores most of that at least until the cartoon. And after watching the OG movies I kinda understand them, although I do still appreciate this version, it tried something different. But in terms of an American Godzilla movie I more prefer the more recent ones.

[@MrGoji12345]

might want to re-think your opinion on this movie having great cgi

[@stevenyarnell]

The year that Godzilla came out, 1998, was the year that I watched the original Jurassic Park on VHS for the first time. No escaping the dino! haha!

[@HybridMiranda]

I watched a lot of Godzilla as a kid, but I remember adoring this one; one thing that this movie gets right versus modern monster movies is that the perspective is centered around the people. You're on the ground with them experiencing the carnage, seeing Godzilla from a human view. It makes him (her...?) a lot more scary, but also a lot more realistic and tangible. The way the cars jumped, the boats falling from the sky, the chaos as people ran at camera-eye view... it was a really well done film, and modern Godzilla movies could learn from it instead of continuously keeping the camera at the monster's perspective.

[@ursidae97]

I was so excited to see something a little less comedy and a little more cosmic horror from the American Gojira movie but that's not really what we got. Shin Godzilla was more my speed, but I appreciate this movie cared about showing some human level horror.

[@whadthefriggincrud]

My mom took me to the theater to see this when I was a kid, I loved it. My aunt, had all the classic Godzilla movies on VHS. Summers on Staten Island with my aunt we would always watch em. Godzilla will always hold a special place for me

[@J1GS4W_13]

i was 10yrs old when i saw this. 1:35 still gives me goosebumps. Godzilla entrance was epic. We were used to Japanese Godzilla entrance where he comes in from the water all slowly like Tommy's Megazord from Power Rangers. But this gave us a raw gritty version of that from the POV ground level. It hit differently. Felt real.

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

This movie made Godzilla look like an extended Jurassic Park dinosaur. The 2014 edition really brought the "God" into the Zilla. Especially when it had to fight that flying MUTO, which was far more spooky in its appearance and sounds.
