Cant believe I missed this.

The general consensus doesn't agree though, even among non-Godzilla fans. While 2014 made money, it's biggest criticism was the severe lack of Godzilla.

I guess it's a different mentality. Looking at our avatars, I can see you like the more Japanese fanciful stuff, and at mine showing I like human characters. You would want a classic monster flick. Me, I am more interested hiw the human characters deal with beiyin a world with giant monsters fighting.

The 2014 film was great. It did a good job on putting a realistic touch on how people would react if Godzilla and another giant monster were actually real and causing destruction. It was a different take on the concept whereas in the Japanese films everything was more over the top and ridiculous.

My only complaint really with the film was that airport scene when Godzilla and the MUTO fight was cut off and just shown on a TV. Everything else from the camera work, destruction, and action was brilliant from beginning to end.

And as for the lack of time that Godzilla was in this film for that people always bitch about, the original 1954 film he was in it for a very short time in that film too.
