This movies is dumb. You never even see Godzilla so idk why it is even on the movie cover.

I bought on 3D assuming it was going to be good!..my fault I was wrong....watch on cable

Only reason I got it was for the digital copy and I did not receive it

Not crazy about the movie. The old Godzilla was so much better. Wouldn't watch it again

This was a huge waste of money. It was one of the worse movies we have ever seen

A little disappointed its not like the Godzilla movies years back.

This is one of the worst movies made, I'm not happy with this purchase.

Not a good story; the plot was poor. Wanted to see more of the monster.

Got it because it was 3D Other wise would have got the bootleg for $2

This movie is horrible. Don't waste your money, buy the old version.

long drawn out and boring. took to long to even see any monsters.

Not happy with the movie overall. 3 people actually fell asleep.

could have left this one on the shelf but it had a great box

That was the wrist movie I've seen and I am a big Godzilla fan.

you have good actors participating in a movie without drama.

Not entertaining. Don't waste your money buying this movie.

I do NOT recommend wasting your money on this movie.

Been a huge Godzilla fan for as long as I can remember. Have all of the originals on VHS and I've been buying all of them up as they come out on DVD/Blu-ray. Sadly, I no longer have the destructible New York City to go along with the figures that can shoot missiles. Needless to say, I love Godzilla. This version was a huge opportunity for the West/Hollywood to undo the atrocity that came out in 1998. And it does a hell of a job, too! The special effects take the cake in this one in terms of rendering an incredibly life-like experience that puts you right there in the mix of things. The camera angles are almost all done from a "realistic" angle of where a human would be rather than just going for that perfect shot to display everything going on in the battles. At first, I wasn't a huge fan of the new design for Godzilla, but it really works. The larger, whale/gorilla-like form goes well with his pace and movements. He's got a bit of a human touch as well. The only downside I can really think of is the lack of direct screen time for the big guy. I was slightly disappointed after seeing the movie on opening night because he wasn't in it more, but Edwards really did a great job with how he handled the action. He keeps building up the expecations throughout until the end when the action really takes off. You don't hear Godzilla roar near as much as in the older movies, but it has a huge impression each time that he does. I get the chills every time it happens! I highly recommend watching the extras if you have the time. The first set, you can skip, though. They just rehash scenes from the movie with actors monologuing in the background. Really doesn't add anything. The second set goes into the making of the movie from the designs, storyboards, set construction, and more. It's almost an hour for the 4 of them, but I really enjoyed watching them all. Fantastic movie for anyone in my opinion. Whether you like action movies, monster/kaiju films, or just enjoy a solid movie, check this one out. If anything, watch it for Godzilla's finishing move. Pretty epic!

The movie is great for Godzilla fans, and enjoyable for everyone else especially when he is on screen. This is more of a review of how Best Buy has this listed as of 8/29. It says: Godzilla (MetalPak) (Blu-ray+DVD+UV Digital Copy) (2 Disc) (Special Edition) (Ultraviolet Digital Copy) (DVD) . To me this says it has all 3, the Blu-ray, DVD and digital copy. Some people will be sad to find that they thought they were getting a steal at 19.99 for all 3, but only ending up with DVD. (notice the DVD in parentheses? at end). Other versions currently say exact same thing, except it will have Blu-ray or 3D Blu-ray in parentheses, and are more expensive. Buyer beware!

I remember the teaser trailer of the bombing run where the marines are diving down into a terrorized metropolis. The darkness, the POV, and then came the size of the monstrosity in the distance responsible for the destruction. I thought "This is going to rock". I appreciate this film for the serious tone it took. This is the king of the monsters and should be treated with respect, not campy nonsense. Much like Man of Steel I didn't understand the criticism that many levelled at the movie. I don't mind when people disagree with my opinion but I do ask that they articulate beyond "That sucked." The opening to me is amazing. The montage of mythical sea creatures on old world maps and the skeletal bones of prehistoric terrors spliced in with footage of atomic age weapons testing was awesome. Further into the story, I liked that the nuclear weapons did NOT create Godzilla but was rather used as a deterrent to kill the beast. When I saw the film in theaters, the moment that Godzilla rises out of the water after causing a tsunami on an island, shots are fired into the air to illuminate the threat. Within the movie, a hush falls upon the film to a deafening silence and when the audience followed suit in anticipation for what was to come, I knew I was watching something special. It was an epic moment. I have to admit. I'm all about story and characters. However, when Godzilla fought one monster, I wanted to see more. At first I was left hoping for more because I wanted to see more of the beasts and more of the titular creature. However, I realize that a movie leaving me wanting more is a good thing. I'll be the first to admit that whereas I liked Brian Cranston, his Marine son and his nurse wife were barely characters with not much to do. I liked Ken Wantanabe as the scientist. His balance of paleontological curiosity and fear for the discovery of the goliath creature is a welcomed depth. The end movie battle between the creatures with humans caught in the middle at the mercy of these titans is great. Certain aspects are a bit clunky, but I do appreciate the serious tone and the fact that this was taken seriously. We get inundated with reboots, but this is the example of when we get talent and money behind it. I do hope the seqeul(s) tighten up the script and invest in your human characters.
