Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great movie, looks amazing on 4K. I’ve waited years for this to come out on 4K and it was well worth the wait. Godzilla and Godzilla: King of Monsters (already out on 4K) make an awesome double feature. I should also mention that the good folks at the Best Buy customer service counter were kind enough to dig one up for me from the back since the ones on the rack were all sold out. Thank you, Best Buy!

This entry in the Godzilla series calls back to the older horror style entries of Godzilla. The big complaint everyone had with the movie was the limited screen time of Godzilla, but this just adds to the impact of the monster when he does appear. It creates tension and dread in the human characters as the audience sees the horrible consequences of each encounter. Don't worry though, the last act of the movie really shows off Godzilla and what he's capable of.

This was a much needed reboot of the Godzilla American franchise. Some viewers may be frustrated with the amount of time it takes to see Godzilla in this film but the payoff when you finally see the full view of the King of Monsters is worth it! Also worthwhile in this Godzilla remake is a solid performance from Bryan Cranston.

This particular production is one of the more serious entries. A great cast and written to introduce a new subject matter which explains a lot from the beginning. GODZILLA appears in the 50's and terrorized Japan. But we must have realized there were others? Well, there was. Enjoyed this movie a great deal, and you will too, especially if you are a GODZILLA fan.

I was nervous about this movie but after seeing I am am very happy and can not wait for more Gojira. If Toho continues it's tradition we have 10 years of movies to come before going on hiatus again for 10 years. The movie itself was very good and enjoyable to watch. the director kept in mind above all this is a Gojira movie and in the end he is the star. The people story worked and had some nice moments but ultimately it comes down to Gojira and his battle. I love where they may be taking this and love the tie's to previous movies plus Dr Serizawa is back. Different but the same.

Most reviewers either love or hate this movie. But I enjoyed it as it is actually quite similar in content and form to the very first Godzilla movie. I think it is a nice update of Godzilla with a very good CGI portrayal of just how large he is compared to ships and buildings. The plot is weak in places and although Ken Watanabe is very good actor, I think his talents were not given a chance to shine here. This movie left me wanting more, but for good reasons rather than bad.

This was a good start to the new Godzilla franchise, and I was glad to finally see this come to 4K after Godzilla KOM. Though quite a bit darker video overall, the 4K UHD presentation really helps this tremendously. Love the sound, especially the low rumbles below 20 Hz! Once the action picks up, it’s a fun ride.

This is a big budget monster movie and is very well done. Solid special effects and acting make this movie very entertaining. There was a version of Godzilla from like ten years ago that was so bad it almost ended the franchise. This version does a lot to redeem monster movies in general and I highly recommend checking it out. This copy also comes with an ultraviolet copy that can be redeemed and streamed though various apps like Vudu, CinemaNow, and others.

I'm a Godzilla fan that got burned so many times in the past with movies and ridiculous cartoons that I avoided this movie - thinking it was just more junk. However, after I rented it I knew this movie was true to the original (with some slight differences of course). It's an awesome movie that all Godzilla fans must own and is not, I repeat is not, like the movie with Matthew Broderick. This is a modern day Godzilla written and produced just right. A great addition to your movie library! It took all my will power to make sure this review contained no Spoilers. :)

I'm a huge fan of the original Godzilla movies. Yes, they were corny and odd and often didn't make a lot of sense, but I still loved them growing up. The more recent movies before this have been so bad that I lost faith in seeing the big guy in a good movie. I really enjoyed this one, though, even though G wasn't in it as much as I hoped. Maybe they'll make another and have a little more Godzilla in it (no pun intended re: the "fat" complaints from the Japanese).

There hasn't been many since the 1954 classic Godzilla that has made an impact like this one. When they got permission to do this movie from TOHO studios to make a new Godzilla movie I was worried. Especially since they messed up back in 1998 making Zilla. Yet this movie goes back to the roots of that 1954 classic. You wait to see the King of Monster appear and when you finally see him.........you're not disappointed. The extras on the Blu-Ray are great as well. So if you are a Godzilla fan or just like great Monster Movies this is a must have for anyone's collection.

Having been born in the early 1950's and growing up in the era of King Kong & Godzilla I had to have the Godzilla (2014) Blu Ray disc to see how he/she ‘Godzilla’ had progressed from the black & white Japanese film versions of the 60's. I found an exceptional sale at Best Buy after Thanksgiving (as I much anticipatedd) and was not disappointed. It was not your typical "dinosaur/monster" movie but rather a plot with terrific production & visual effects, and in a Blu Ray version that was stunning. I do hope there is a sequel to where we can see MORE of Godzilla!

This version of Godzilla was an improvement over the 1998 version. The movie was interesting and had sufficient action but I wish we could have seen more of the big lizard in action. Hopefully that will be corrected in the sequel. As far as the blueray, it captures the quality and sound 100%. I also would have liked it to have more bonus features. Still it's a good buy for the price.

A bit disappointed that I could not find this for 4k UHD HDR?? Not sure why they have not or did not make this movie in that definition?? Blue-Ray worked well enough. 4k would have been better, the King of the monsters (sequel to this Godzilla) was much better than this in 4k. Waiting for Godzilla vs Kong this year!!

Honestly the best "American" adaptation of Godzilla in years. Especially in comparison to the 1998 Godzilla. Over all looks and sounds great on Bluray and the classic style slip-cover is a nice touch. The main male actor that you follow throughout the last half of the film simply doesn't have a wide range of emotions, which is my one major complaint. The best scenes are really anything with the giant Kaiju. Other than that, it's worth a watch and a nice edition for collector's of Godzilla films.

I'm glad that they finally decided to matter this version in 4k HDR. I was beginning to worry, especially when they did the 1998 garbage version in 4K first, but they did this one nicely. Now I can see the dark scenes better now, same the Dolby Atmos soundtrack they added makes it sound even better

Ever since I was a little kid I've been a fan of Godzilla. He is the king of the monsters after all. The original Japanese black and whites complete with bad English dubbing are the best!!! So, naturally, every time there was a new movie I rushed to see it. Let's be honest, all the American ones sucked! Bad! Matthew Broderick?!?!? Are you serious??? Too bad Ferris didn't take that day off. This movie was the exception that proved the rule. Sure, there was very little of Godzilla in the movie, but hey, it was a start. It still kicked rear.

Growing up I loved watching Togo's Godzilla movies and remembering hearing this was announced gave me great childhood memories. Watched it in theaters release day and got the nostalgic feelings and chills when he first appeared on screen and heard that infamous Godzilla roar. I wish there was more screen time of him but hopefully he will be for the upcoming Godzilla 2 and the Godzilla vs King Kong movies.

This was an entertaining movie. once you get past the slow start the action really picks up. Although I personally enjoyed the 1998 version of Godzilla, I know that it was a disappointment for most people and fell flat on delivering the spirit of Godzilla. well this film definitely gets it right. Godzilla has a purpose for once and isn't just destroying stuff at random. overall good movie. the special features were a little bit bland.

So this is a Godzilla movie where you barely get Godzilla. When Godzilla shows up its a good time
