I think the problem was that the story discarded its lead character (and best actor) to unclear purpose half-way in. {nm}

All the scenes with Godzilla in GODZL are less than 8 minutes. Antibody Sep 09, 15:13

Brando, Dench, Godzilla. {nm} second gary Sep 09, 15:25

âless is moreâ and âquiet is the new loud.â I like GE's point of showing the monster sparingly, built suspense imo. tatoufan Sep 09, 16:08

The difference is Jurassic Park, Alien, Jaws... were brand new movies, introducing a new "monster". This is not the first Godzilla. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 16:30

thing is, he didn't "build up slowly"... tealfan Sep 09, 17:33

So? It worked {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 16:47

No, it didn't. GODZL had an absmal delist multiplier of 1.99. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 16:54

The marketing worked, but the lack of Godzilla led to bad WOM. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 16:56

i don think the word of mouth was bad. the demand was sucked up in week 1 {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 17:20

69% audience rating at RT {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 17:22

Demand would have grown if the word of mouth was good like GOTGX. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 17:26

godzilla might be more niche, and thats was always going to be the total box for it. marketing oushed all the demand into week 1 {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 17:29

The audience I walked out with on the midnight showing all thought it sucked. This is also what we told everyone we know. {nm} TerenceHill Sep 09, 23:13

those are two vastly different movies. {nm} thedudeman2222 Sep 10, 10:53

He died in the alien thingy attack how is that not more clear. {nm} thedudeman2222 Sep 10, 10:55

I think he means to "unclear story purpose". {nm} DTravel Sep 10, 12:25

Let us fight. :) {nm} second underdeveloped character Sep 10, 12:33

Iirc correctly he was standing in the wrong place when a piece of debris fell. So. . . he saved the pavement and retrieved. . . second gary Sep 10, 12:55

Godzilla vs. Avengers. Godzilla stepping on Downey Jr, Cpt America, all of them. Now THAT'S something I'd want to see. goodvibe61 Sep 10, 09:07

I like the less is more approach the movie took. some people hated it for that . {nm} thedudeman2222 Sep 10, 10:52
