Their 11 min 28 seconds is generous; one Youtube video clocks it more like 7:56 minutes. Much of which involves brief partial shots (including the infamous TV battle snippets in Honolulu.)

Seriously? The 98 zilla movie had an extra two minutes compared to this one? SERIOUSLY??

(And 12 minutes of Mutos, about 5 of which overlap with Godzilla.)


I was briefly thinking about picking up the movie on its Blu-ray release, but man...

There is no reason why this film should have been longer than 90 minutes. Or even 60 minutes.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

ILM's gotta make their money bro.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Oh, there's much, much more wrong with the film than that.

But yep, I like CinemaSins, too. :)

They captured the lowlights.

Ha...thanks for sharing, I've not heard of CinemaSins.

^^ A good way to lose several hours of your life one weekend.

(Cinema sins I mean, not G2014.)

I still can't get more than halfway through the Godzilla reboot. Glad I'm not the only one. This video and all y'all pretty much reinforce that choice.

It really was sub par. Kinda reminded me of Dark Knight Rises. It seems okay when you're watching it that first time, but the more you think about it after, the more you go WTF?

I'm worried my brother, who knows I love the property, got me this film for my birthday. He doesn't know how aggressively mediocre and flagrantly stupid it is.

Much like TDKR, I was fully on board when I started watching it, and felt assaulted by pain in increasing amounts as the film ran on. Yet I could not look away. See also: boiling a frog slowly.

Step one: cut a hole in the box...

Step two: torture a small animal in the box...

Step three: make her open the box...

...and that's the way you dooo iii-iiit

I do want to clarify that I don't think people who like or love either movie are stupid. I'm unable to get past the many, many problems, but both films still have some obvious quality. (FWIW, I'd say TDKR was the better film overall, but I don't think anyone would dispute that.)

And G2014 isn't nearly as painful overall as G98 was/is.
