I am not sure how/why you expected something like that. This was a Post WWII drama, not an alien horror film. Not sure why you were expecting an Alien or Predator type movie...

I really liked it and thought it was well done. It is kinda overrated because it is a small studio foreign film. It

It was great because it was the anti-Hollywood Godzilla movie

Nope. It is far more impressive in theaters.

Did you watch it Dubbed or Subtitled?

BYUtka

Subtitled so much better. The dub just throws you off.

Subtitles - I can't watch dubbed.

This! When people describe it as silly I have to wonder how much they paid attention. The characters were well

The makeshift family story was my favorite part of the movie

GSwarriorcoug

Part of the reason he looks like a guy in a suit from the 50's is because the director wanted to honor the original

Well the director succeeded in making his monster look like

It won awards for is special effects and most have commented on how good it looked and how menacing he was.

Chemish, you yourself just said Godzilla looked like a guy in suit from

GSwarriorcoug

The original Godzilla, from 1954, was indeed a guy in a suit. This Godzilla was done in a way to honor the original

Anyone who describes it as a "fun silly popcorn flick" is obviously trolling.

Loved this movie. Saw it twice in theaters.

I don't know that I'd say overrated but it wasn't this amazing

RockyBalboa

It was a solid, scrappy underdog movie about underdogs with a nice message about

that opinion is wrong and you are wrong for having it. it was a well done drama and very good effects for the budget

You’ve slammed Godzilla Minus One, Parasite, and Prey all this week. If you’re gonna be that picky a movie watcher,

scootsy

Geeze. Those are all pretty universally liked and Parasite won the Oscar!

Yeah, we need to know what he likes to better assess his opinion. Our maybe he's just hated everything up to this point.

Happy to tell you movies I love

Good taste. Those are some great movies.

I didn't slam Parasite. I said I liked it didn't love it. I even complimented

I thought Interstellar was pretentious and boring (minus the water scene).

I enjoyed Interstellar way more than Godzilla.
