Yeah theres a reason. No spoilers. But jeez they still couldve made it look not comical af

[–] coex23 8 years ago

but.. up until we saw him on land, it wasn't really comical. and then, it was really just his face/eyes that were kinda goofy.

the film is definitely "comical" on purpose, so maybe that was supposed to get a laugh? or, maybe, since this was an entirely fresh approach to the series, it was a way to shock the usual fans into seeing things differently? who knows?

luckily, it's quickly explained, and things get moving along in the expected, destructive way!

overall, pretty solid entry!

Yeah, just saw it and when Godzilla made his first appearance, my buddy & I were like WTF is that?

[–] geoffmon2000 8 years ago

reply

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

Haha yeah that is my only gripe. otherwise this is probably the best godzilla movie in ages.

You were 20 minutes into the movie and you commented on IMDB? That's beyond sad dude, at least watch the entire thing before saying anything (especially considering the fact that his look evolves over time so you were complaining about a look that wasn't even his final form).

reply

[–] geoffmon2000 8 years ago

Wow man...didn't know we lived in your world. So what if he commented 20min in or 20hrs later. I knew nothing about this new film, and sorry, but when he did show his first form...it was kinda cheesy looking. Did his post really affect your life so bad that you had to make a personal attack....now who's the one who's sad.

reply

[–] toolsquatch 8 years ago

Attacking an aspect of character that is changing before seeing the entire film is a great way to look like an idiot online.

reply

[–] geoffmon2000 8 years ago

I'm not speaking for him on whether or not he knew it was changing....hey I didn't. Ok....lets say the OP wrote that 20hrs later...it would not change the fact that the initial appearance was laughable. Sorry..."tool" (name really fits you), but your initial comment was uncalled for. Run along key board commando...I have a feeling if you made that same comment and face to face to a complete stranger while you were in the same theater, they would be sweeping up your ass along with the spilled popcorn.

Have you seen Shin Godzilla yet? If you've seen it you'd understand why saying he looked stupid 20 minutes into the film is a dumb thing to post on IMDB about.

reply

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

It's not a dumb thing to post about. Regardless of whether or not he was changing, he still looked retarded. Facts are facts.

[–] toolsquatch 8 years ago

Opinions ≠ Facts.

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

It is a fact he looked retarded.

reply

[–] toolsquatch 8 years ago

It is a fact that you're stating your opinion on how he looked.

Yes.

Watch the whole movie first troll.

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

I'm not a troll. You don't need to watch the whole movie to know that the "first stage" of godzilla looks ridiculous.

Are you watching it illegally online? If so you should be arrested.

[–] mmserrano4 8 years ago

His eyes looked stupid the whole time. That didn't change.

Those seven years of MacGyver finally payed off

reply

[–] toolsquatch 8 years ago

They were just going for an outright animalistic look and drew their inspiration from aquatic animals (and deep sea life in his later form) instead of purposely making him look menacing, that's why his eyes look "stupid".

reply

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

That's fine but I don't think making a godilla movie where he is supposed to be horrible and terriying and then making him look goofy so that the whole audience breaks out laughing every time is a good artistic decision lol.

reply

[–] toolsquatch 8 years ago

You didn't pick up the fact that the film was tongue-in-cheek at times? They purposely made his first form look ridiculous and dopey, in fact they poke fun at the fact that he's a dumb animal when the behavioral analyst can't come up with anything to say about the creatures behavioral patterns asides from "It moves": the film is a satire at how incompetent the Japanese government is during disasters, it's why this Godzilla is never overtly malevolent.

reply

[–] mmserrano4 8 years ago

But it's so hard to take Godzilla seriously as you should when he's got big googly eyes. If you're saying it was deliberately funny looking then I can appreciate that and I love the film even more than I already did.

[–] YYMBRrecords 8 years ago

Not really. Everyone is constantly making judgement calls about information presented in front of them. That's how the human mind works. You see something, make a judgement, see some more, make a new judgement.

reply

[–] Chris12955 8 years ago

Is blurting the first thing that pops into your head no matter how irrelevant or dumb it might turn out to be also how you act in the rest of your life? Or do you just do that on Twitter/IMDb/Facebook/anywhere else online. Proper judgements are made after an examination of the facts. Not the very instant you see something. Would it have hurt to wait until the film was over to write that? You would have a more nuanced and intelligent statement in the first post if you waited.

This is how you know you guys have never seen any toku ever. Stick to your transformers movies if you can't deal with toku effects.

Why is it sad? People are social and want to discuss things. My complaint is still valid though bc he looked doofy af.

It is nice to see someone else thought his jumping on here before having finished the film was pathetic. I wonder if he realizes that by dividing his attention between Twitter, Facebook, IMDb, and the film, means he can't truly enjoy a movie.

That is absolutely correct. You got me good homie!

it look so goofy

Are u sure it wasn't your....
MAMA?

It's stupid americans like you that make Hollywood producers make the horrible t rex looking godzilla in 1998, and the American Godzilla two years ago was an improvement, but nowhere as classic and awesome looking as the real Japanese Godzilla, who's supposed to look terrifying and "cute" at the same time

Shut off your dam phone or get the ef out of the theater, ya inconsiderate jerk.

reply

[–] denny471 8 years ago

EXACTLY!! Nothing burns me in the theater more than the jerk behind me kicking my seat, and the selfish pr*ck who feels the need to go online, text or take a phone call DURING THE MOVIE.

Do they not realize it is a distraction to other people who are actually trying to enjoy the movie? Just leave the the theater room if you need to use your phone, and return to the show when you're done. How hard is that? You're not gonna miss anything, since you weren't watching the movie to begin with!

And actually, I didn't think Godzilla's 2nd Form looked goofy at all. I quietly muttered, "what?" when I saw him, not even knowing it was Godzilla at all. I thought it might be a lifeform that Godzilla preyed upon, and was trying to avoid being a meal, lol. Imagine my surprise when it stood up to evolve into 3rd Form!

I'm hoping something happens too. I hope the person you are distracting behind you while texting in a movie theater beats the crap out of you.

Me too. It would be hilarious!

reply

[–] LeadAnchor 8 years ago

I was thinking his eyes (in his first form) was what made him look so goofy, but i'd say that it was supposed to mimic fish eyes in a way, seeing as he started being aquatic, but it did look odd for not only Godzilla as we know him, but for a monster that's meant to be threatening. But that was my only gripe with the film, if his eyes were a bit different it would work much better.

Yea that first image of "Godzilla" made my girlfriend laugh out loud and me say "what is that supposed to be". I thought his final form looked really good though. Creepy and monstrous.
