Think about it....

I understand the first cutaway is still polarizing, but polarizing makes movies more interesting to me. Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy may be more straight forward summer blockbuster entertainment. And they may have been more satisfying. But they were also less interesting to me because they didn't do anything daring. (As films go anyway.) To me they'll be lost in the troves of summer action movies that all look alike. I may watch them again once each in the next three years. (I put Dawn of the Planet of the Apes way, way, way above any of the movies we're directly talking about in this thread though. That movie was daring.)

Godzilla tried some things differently and the result was polarization amongst fans and audiences. So did it work? Clearly, not for everyone. No. But I applaud and reward ambitious efforts to be different over the run-of-the-mill.

That being said, the cutaways later in the movie bother me far more. Doing it once is fine. But twice, three times, four times... That's getting beyond silly.

@Koldwarkid62,

I completely agree man. If G14 lived up to the hype and to what they teased it to be, then i think it could have been one awesome godzilla film, and like you said it fell short.

Also, i know you are busy but, when you do get the time of day to read the novel, i am really looking foward to hearing what you have to say.

Take care, and so much more.

Oops, double post.

But since it exsists, gman2887, i also agree my friend, all of those other cut scenes really put a hurting on the film.

@MMG, It would count since you see both of them fight(fyi tv screen in brody family house)    

I thought the screentime and shots of the monsters were great and that theres alot more to the movie then some think or suggest. This is just my opinion and I don't care what others have to say  something that counters my view.

   No offense  GMAN and BEN but you guys are not always right.
