Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a very well done take on the ever popular Godzilla character I loved the build up and all the backstory was very interesting! This movie is one I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good science fiction monster movie. This film is much better than the Godzilla that was released in the 90's and unlike that one this movie's success is supposed to lead to some sequels and a shared monster universe! I can't wait for the other movies in legendary pictures monsterverse in which this movie is the first. Godzilla was definitely a fun watch for me I highly recommend it!

I have loved Godzilla since I was a kid. I have seen all the old movies, black and white, poorly dubbed, and the various monster cross overs. If you are a true fan you know the writers got this one right. Godzilla is the misunderstood dark hero that gets beaten up by everyone, bad guy / monster and the ones he is trying to protect. In this new addition not only did they stay true to the classic form with wonderful modern realistic look but the breath weapon was awesome!!! Placed perfectly for the fans who were just at the point of where is the breath weapon? Then Hello !! here it is. Loved it watched it twice in the theater and three times since I bought the blue ray. If you collect Godzilla this is a must to own. If you know a Godzilla fan this is the Christmas gift they will go crazy for.

It was good to see a Godzilla movie with a fresh story. I normally try to stay away from movies that just have mindless beasts beating each other senseless the entire movie. Not only did it look cool, but the director laid the ground work for something the viewer could sink their teeth into. It was a great movie. Buy the physical blu ray ! The quality is way better than stream. Need this in 4K also.

Growing up I loved Godzilla in all his Sci Fi campy reincarnations brought to you from the TOHO movie productions. Then Hollywood made their own version that lacked quite a few elements. But I am happy to say that this version of Godzilla really rocked!!! We had suspense, futile human attempts to stop him, other mysterious monsters causing random havoc and destruction , heroes and heroines doing their best to survive, cities destroyed and a battle to the end amongst the behemoths ...............and a radioactive trail long enough to follow into a sequel. See and hear it on Blu Ray and enjoy the many extras provided on this muti disc set.

Great price for this Bluray disc. The movie has too much unnecessary time wasted on things other than Godzilla. Most of its scenes with Godzilla are of him wading In the ocean.

Not the beginning of the Godzilla-Kong monsters multiverse (even it's the first movie of the series). I got and watched "Kong: Skull Island" (for me the best of all 4 movies) without knowing that this one is part of the MonstersVerse, nothing to do with previous Godzilla movies and in my opinion the best I've seen. I also own "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" and the last statement "Godzilla vs. Kong" (all in 4K Ultra HD Blue-ray) so I added this movie to my collection.

All in all, I loved the movie. It was a good origin story. I would like to see more monster action in the sequel though. I know many people were dissapointed because it wasn't a Transformers like Godzilla movie with fighting for the entirety of the movie but I feel that the sequel and the last installment of the Legendary series will have just that. I do not want to give away any plot so I will say that the first hour and 20 minutes mainly revolves around the character development with some Monster scenes thrown in here and there but the last 40 to 30 minutes contains more action. It is not the best Godzilla movie ever made, but i personally believe that this is a great reintroduction and start of a new vision of the king of the monsters.

I grew up watching Godzilla and I really enjoyed this latest version of everyone's favorite monster. It stays true to the source material. The acting is pretty good for a Godzilla movie but I'm sure we are all here for Godzilla and not the humans. This is where the movie shines - Godzilla's fight scenes. The movie did a great job showing Godzilla fighting the other monsters. It was pretty epic in my opinion! I have a 7.1 sound system and this blu-ray really puts my system to good use. I love how they utilized the sound. My only gripe would be that some of the background 3D images look blurry and I'm not sure why.

Godzilla gets a modern update and I love the new version. Legendary has created a shared monster universe with King Kong and others. King of the Monsters was better with the inclusion of Mothra, King Ghidora and Rodan, but this movie was still fun to watch. My inly complaint about these movies is the studio’s need to flesh out a substantial human narrative. We just want to see huge monsters beat the crap out of each other!

Godzilla strikes back in more accurate fashion than the 1998 failed re-boot. Bland characters lead the picture though making you bang on your cowbell chanting "More Cranston! More Godzilla!". I have yet to watch the 3D so I can not comment on the quality at this point. Daylight scenes are very good, the audio rocks the house, the scenes at night are a different story.... the home transfer is very dark, so dark that it's hard to make out what's going on. This is inherent on all home media formats so be prepared to notch up the brightness on your TV (I switched to "Vivid" mode if your TV has such an option).

I first watched "Godzilla" (2014) in cinemas and loved it. This 4K UHD Blu-ray is, if you can believe it, even better. The colors really pop and the HDR provides bold, vibrant picture quality. Its Dolby Atmos soundtrack was immersive thundering through my Vizio 5.1 Atmos soundbar. Overall, 2014's "Godzilla" remains one of the better monster movies and more specifically Godzilla flicks. Aside from the film itself which features an utterly amazing audio and video presentation, the extras are pretty decent.

The craze to reboot movies, TV shows, movies that have already been rebooted, etc... is actually handled with great care in this Godzilla origin story. The "Godzilla as a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki" intent of the original, 1950's movie is echoed quite nicely here, but properly updated for today's audiences and cultural concerns (ie. nature vs man on a global scale and who actually is in charge...). Also, the director's "let's approach this like 'Jaws' less is more" approach to seeing Godzilla works to make the finale very satisfying. Non-Godzilla fans may never get past the memory of a guy in a rubber suit approach in order to give this updated movie a viewing, but if you are a Godzilla fan, this movie will be enjoyable to you.

"GODZILLA" has great effects, and is a good movie, even though some scenes are too dark. I bought the OTHER combo also (which includes the 3D) (3 discs). If Godzilla bought discs like blurays and dvds, Godzilla would definitely be buying at BEST BUY! I buy all my movies (combos: dvd and bluray) always at BEST BUY! Truth in advertising: BEST BUY = best buy! aNYWAY, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SEQUEL TO Godzilla. I HAVE ALL "GODZILLA" MOVIES: 1954, 1998, 2014, and even sequel "GODZILLA RETURNS" (1956 I think year was), and 'KING KONG VS GODZILLA" (1960S). GODZILLA AND BEST BUY STAMPS OUT THE COMPETITION! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE (BEST BUY STAFF, and fellow BEST BUY CUSTOMERS)! KEEP "BEST BUYing"! UNTIL MY NEXT REVIEW! .... BYE!

living in a remote area in Alaska has it's downsides, for starters there are no movie theaters, so most new releases are from the local rental shop. I had been salivating for this release, what with Bryan Cranston attached and the fact that this Godzilla would be BIGGER, STRONGER, BETTER, Let me get one thing out there right now, I LOVED PACIFIC RIM, I love the whole KAIJU genre, so I was BEYOND ECSTATIC to hear that the OG King of the Monsters would be returning. The flick is great, focuses more on the human drama than the actual Kaiju battles BUT this IS the first of (hopefully) many.

I was expecting this version of the classic movie Godzilla to completely throw out the feel and style of the Japanese original for a style more in tune with western audience sensibility and taste. I had to watch it twice to see it, but after the second viewing I realized I was watching a true homage to the original both in the way it was styled for plot development and the way the star of the movie was superbly updated for 21st century audiences, yet vintage looking for those who wanted to be reminded of the monster they grew up with in the 50s and 60s. Nicely done.

The 2014 version of "Godzilla" is a credit to the franchise. The action is tremendous, the CGI wonderfully done, and the human interest portion of the film adds, not detracts, from the enjoyment. Bryan Cranston is terrific as an American scientist (Joe Brody) who discovers that something is amiss in Japan, but can't get anyone to take him seriously. Brody's fears become realized when a MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) awakens from a long slumber to terrorize the world. Godzilla is somehow alerted to the MUTO's appearance and makes his own appearance shortly after. Will he be there to help the MUTO destroy the world or come to its rescue? Find out in "Godzilla"!

If you want to escape from reality for a couple of hours and enjoy destruction, explosions and great special effects, then this is the movie for you. Don't expect Oscar winning performances or a script that rivals the Godfather. This is purely escapism at it's best. This is the best Godzilla flick to arrive in a long time. The director makes us wait for Godzilla's appearance, similar to the original. But the wait is worth it. I don't want to go on and on. If you like or love Godzilla or like movies with big explosions and destruction, this is worth watching.

With the other Godzilla movies available on 4K this release at least allows the shelf to have all of the movies, although the side art was pretty underwhelming. I much preferred the original artwork, but I guess the new one would increase sales potential. I wouldn't have paid full price, but it was worth the Black Friday price.

The rating it should be noted is for the disc transfer, not necessarily the actual film (which was by no means a poor film). But the video, which was always quite dark, really makes use of the 4K resolution, bringing out detail that otherwise would be smeary or undifferentiated shadows. The audio is immersive and impressive as well. If you enjoyed this first in the reboot of Godzilla, this disc will impress and delight.

Warner Bros did an excellent job with the video quality of this Blu-ray release. The audio is outstanding as well, with plenty of bass in all thumps, explosions, roars, gunfire, and anything that requires power. The movie itself is okay, but I enjoyed the suspense of the 1998 Godzilla better. If you have a good tv setup along with a surround sound system, this is a release that you should definitely add to your collection. Hopefully WB will release a remastered 4K + Blu-ray in the future, because this is an excellent title to show off your home theater.
