SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED?

he assumption of the matter is that the reviewer seems to be the type of person who doesn't like long story filled movies and prefers the modern shortness trend. I on the other hand, like a lot of other people, recall the glory days when movies were filled with enough content that you didn't leave feeling like the movie was too short, which seems to happen with a lot of modern movies I watch these days. I'm not even sure if we can take his word for Aaron's acting. I also find it obsured that people think to be a good actor you have to have a specific emotional personality, when in real life situations there are people who react to terrible events in a calm manner while freaking out inside, which seems to be Aarons character. His character also seems to be more of the rational type, meaning you're not going to see his emotions taking control of him as much as other characters who are driven by feeling. There's a good reason for this: you can't have the hero freaking out and getting so emotional he can't complete his quest. He needs to remain level headed. 

Maybe I wasn't clear about what I meant with this post that seems to be sparking heated debates. For what reason I don't know. Everyone's entitled to their opinion so there's really no reason to disrespect someone whose opinion is different then your own. If some of us are concerned we have our reasons no one is wrong or right. The problem I have is that after a pretty intense marketing blitz, and several trailers and tv spots. We are a mere 9 days away from release and we have not heard an official review of the film from any reputable source. Just a quote saying TOHO(WHO HAS A STAKE IN THE MOVIE'S SUCCESS) saying they loved it. Plus a handful of fanboys who probably would like it no matter what. I just find it a bit odd to not let word of mouth from influential entertainment news outlets create a buzz. It's a part of the business of promoting a film to do so. Ask yourself a question if you made a kick ass movie that you hoped to reap a small fortune with and you were confident that it would be well received wouldn't you want the few people who have seen it to express their thoughts to the public especially if you knew the movie impressed them? I would I'd be all over that. I saw Spider-Man last Thursday night and I knew the general opinion of the movie as far back as April 8th. Official reviews started pouring in that early the movie was released May 2nd. Now I bought my tickets for Godzilla last month and without a dobt I'll be there and most likely enjoy it. But the secrecy is beyond annoying at this point. The film is being marketed as an action adventure but word is we don't really get what's promised or hinted at. I believe it is always best to be honest with your promotion that way no one feels like they've been had.

@Reggie1138:

You hit it on the head.  Studios love positive word of mouth.  And considering that most early reviews are usually a little better than later reviews, you'd think that the studios would want to get a good buzz asap!  However, if the studios is nervous about their product, they will embargo reviews for as long as they can.

Godzilla 2014 has a big problem (as I have mentioned before):  Monster vs. monster movies do not show well.  The superfans love them, but the general public (and most critics do not).  Hopefully Gaerth Edwards (who is still a neophyte) has found a way to incorporate the fights without it looking too campy or silly. To me the absolute best plot would have been Godzilla vs man and military, without the MUTOs.

Now having said that.  Godzilla may still be the movie that we have all been waiting.  Let hope that it is.

Let's hope so my fingers are crossed RATEDREX!!!
