Underperforming 47.7m ow down from 93m Godzilla 2014
Yikes
shareBecause the first movie was crap and everyone wasted their money. People wont waste money a 2nd time.
shareThe first movie was pretty good actually and is, at this point, underrated.
shareA yawnfest not saying this new one is amazing either but at least it has more then 2 minutes of action. I go to see these movies for over the top CGI and stupidness of monsters fighting not some boring storyline and dull humans characters. The human characters are still just as dull but at least they are not as much the focus of the film.
shareAlso this weekend is pretty heavy with new releases and holdovers like Aladdin. I'm not sure what the weekend in 2014 was like but I'm guessing it wasnt as bad.
shareA lot of people felt that way but my perspective was a little different.
Here's something I just posted in another thread earlier, which sums up my thoughts on the 2014 film:
At this point, after all the negativity I've encountered, I think the 2014 film is underrated.
It was not perfect by any means, but I enjoyed it overall and, while many people didn't, I also enjoyed the Jaws-like build up to seeing Godzilla in action. Not every beat of the plot worked for me, but much of it did, I appreciated that there WAS a plot and that the writers worked to infuse some actual story into the film rather than it just be a bunch of battle sequences.
The scene with the HALO jump as the Army is parachuting into the city is done extremely well, and there's a lot of visual stuff about that whole sequence that is genuine A-level craftmanship.
I really think that Gareth Edwards deserves more credit than he ended up getting for that movie.
The first film was remarkably good. You're one of very few I've heard badmouth it.
shareReally? it is 6.4/10 not exactly great the new one will beat that easy
shareI have no idea who, or what, rates films in a given site, and generally don't trust ratings as an accurate way to gauge popular opinion to a film. I was merely saying that I haven't heard much negativity about it in real life conversations, or in posts I've read. And to go back to the 6.4 out of 10... how do you interpret that? If most people believe it's between 6 and 7 stars out of 10, that seems like a fairly good opinion of it, especially considering it's a Godzilla movie.
