Our take on the latest iteration of a classic monster movie franchise:
http://american-rattlesnake.org/2014...attacks-again/
Not a very good movie.
That's the impression I get, although I know a couple of people who are excited about it.
seems they're on about a sequel already... so could it be Monster Island from Destroy All Monsters?
Godzilla had an almost $200.000.000 opening weekend (domestic plus foreign).
Of course there's going to be a sequel.
Which is fine with me - I liked it.
sk
I liked it, too -- I knew going in that Godzilla wasn't going to be onscreen that much.
To be honest -- it's the first Godzilla movie I've ever seen.
My son loved it and I liked it... it was very much like the old movies.
Nope -- I grew up with one TV station!
Get the Criterion Blu-ray: http://www.criterion.com/films/27755-godzilla Well worth it, it's a classic.
there's two versions of Godzilla '54, there's japan's Godzilla then there the american 'version' Godzilla: King of the Monsters released in 1956

Yeah, the Criterion disc has them both.
This was my first experience with Godzilla as well, and I was not a fan. Godzilla seemed cool, but the people around him not so much.
apparently Gareth Edwards will be directing the sequels
I would think the Criterion is better:

Finally got around to seeing this and overall I enjoyed it. However, the plot was a little thin and they didn't spend near enough time with the monsters. Also,

Nevertheless, the effects and "size" of it all were top notch!!! 05-25-2014 07:51 PMmystimaIf I remember from all the other Godzilla movies made in the past (black and white versions) the giant always saved the city from the other monsters. That was his purpose, why he was made. 05-25-2014 08:32 PMfrikThere was only one b/w Godzilla, the original from 1954. The others were all in color. And yes, sometimes he was the hero, but he's also been the bad guy.

1. RODAN 1956
2. VARAN 1958 (started out as a U.S.A. T.V. pilot)
3. MOTHRA 1961

In a move that is setting the stage for yet another film universe to be created, sources tell Variety that Legendary is planning on moving its “King Kong” prequel, “Kong: Skull Island,” from Universal to Warner Bros.
The film currently stars Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson and “Straight Outta Compton” actors Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell. “Skull Island” had been set up at Universal, with which Legendary currently holds its deal. The prequel was announced at Comic-Con.
Sources close to the situation say while this is not a done deal, things are moving forward and that the idea is to have future “Kong” films possibly cross over with “Godzilla” films, to which WB owns the sequel rights.
As of now, the release date for “Kong: Skull Island” is expected to remain Mar. 10, 2017.
While plot details are still vague, the story will be set in the mysterious, dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the island. Alex Garcia and Eric McLeod will serve as exec producers. Max Borenstein, John Gatins and Dan Gilroy penned the script.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct the pic, and Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce with Mary Parent.
With studios now more and more interested in creating “universes” where films can cross over with one another, it makes sense that Legendary would want these two worlds colliding, especially since it had already happened in the 1962 Toho film “King Kong vs. Godzilla.”
Legendary declined to comment on the matter. Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.

Anything Kong/Godzilla related, for that matter.

He loves watching them and always shows me the latest movie he watched when I go to see him. He's always impressed that I know what happens in each movie, like he discovered them for the first time. 04-15-2016 01:39 AMmae 04-15-2016 03:22 AMfrikTHANK YOU, Pablo. Love the trailer. Does look like the Godzilla we all (??) grew up with - and that's just fine with me.
Really looking forwards to this!
