âless is moreâ and âquiet is the new loud.â I like GE's point of showing the monster sparingly, built suspense imo.
Thereâs a tempo to this film that feels unlike most modern blockbusters. Is this something the studio was supportive of. Was there ever any pushback to make the film more relentless?
When we sat down, we talked about what kind of movie we were thinking about and we talked about âJurassic Park,â âJawsâ and a lot of Spielberg movies like âClose Encountersâ. Also, âAlienâ and âKing Kongâ. And, they all have one thing in common: itâs about an hour into the movie before you see the creature. Because our benchmark films had taken that approach, no one ever really got nervous. And, to be honest, we sat and watched those movies that give it to you straight away and donât let up until you leave, andâŚyou just get tired. Quite easily you reach a brick wall and you get what I call âCGI fatigue.â Where you canât care anymore about anything. When everything is cranked up to 11, you just canât care anymore. So, that was always the consideration. To try and build slowly and tease and pull the audience in, and then when they get it, itâll be more powerful.

thing is, he didn't "build up slowly"... Sep 09, 17:33
So? It worked {nm} Sep 09, 16:47
No, it didn't. GODZL had an absmal delist multiplier of 1.99. {nm} Sep 09, 16:54
The marketing worked, but the lack of Godzilla led to bad WOM. {nm} Sep 09, 16:56
i don think the word of mouth was bad. the demand was sucked up in week 1 {nm} Sep 09, 17:20
69% audience rating at RT {nm} Sep 09, 17:22
Demand would have grown if the word of mouth was good like GOTGX. {nm} Sep 09, 17:26
The audience I walked out with on the midnight showing all thought it sucked. This is also what we told everyone we know. {nm} Sep 09, 23:13
those are two vastly different movies. {nm} Sep 10, 10:53
I think the problem was that the story discarded its lead character (and best actor) to unclear purpose half-way in. {nm} Sep 09, 18:00
He died in the alien thingy attack how is that not more clear. {nm} Sep 10, 10:55
I think he means to "unclear story purpose". {nm} Sep 10, 12:25
Let us fight. :) {nm} Sep 10, 12:33
Godzilla vs. Avengers. Godzilla stepping on Downey Jr, Cpt America, all of them. Now THAT'S something I'd want to see. Sep 10, 09:07
I like the less is more approach the movie took. some people hated it for that . {nm} Sep 10, 10:52
