Godzilla Rises

I really enjoyed the original movie, except from some parts with the super soldier and the over the tone drama it was nicely directed and the atmosphere was superb.

Being so I was intrigued to see how could the movie be better cutting out more than 40 minutes, but the end result is great. Better pace, loss of inconsequential scenes and all the fortuity of some events.

I only have one minor issue, there is one scene that feels off in which the main character is on a plane when he supposedly was on the destroyer.

I really enjoyed the original intro and the janjira scene, nothing is really lost leaving them out of this edit though.

I totally recommend it.

This was fantastic.
7 years after the theatrical release I‘m finally able to love this. Thank you very much!

I think leaving out the bulk of Cranston's part to play in this story was definitely the right call by Kris for this edit. Everything we need to know is already there in the moments with his son, and it is better to envision this all in our heads, as the imagination of what happened provides even greater attachment and atmosphere.

Other changes really help make this feel a bit more urgent, and altogether a bit more real, I appreciate that not everyone makes it out, it raises the stakes significantly and makes us think about how much of survival is down to not just skill, but luck.

The edit moves at a quick pace and the tone, slightly more downbeat, is more appropriate for this kind of film. Expect monster movies to always be monstrous, ripe with conflicts and, more importantly, consequence. Rangerkris serves Godzilla's spirit well in this effort.

I originally began watching the theatrical release and got bored of it pretty much after Walter White died - this after being led to believe he was the the main star, rather than bit part. Major let down.

Then I checked out fanedit.org today and when I saw that this was a new edit, I knew that much could be improved up. And yes I was right.

No longer is this a dumb bloated movie, now it's just dumb - but dumb in a good movie, I mean all monster movies are dumb and mindless, but now this one isn't filed with dumb humans.

I did't really notice any abruptness or hard cuts and if I was to complain it would be the lack of character development and not enough monster battle, but we can only use what was filmed, and the characterisation in the original was lame.

So to sum it up, this is now a fun movie and I will now pretend that there is no other. Thanks for a great edit!

I guess myself and Ranger had the same feeling about the theatrical version of this movie. I liked the theatrical one when I saw it in theaters but that's it, I just liked it. I wasn't blown away as I felt I should have been after viewing the trailer for it. So coming Into this I was very excited and anxious to check it out. Everything you did with this edit I feel is better than the theatrical cut of this Godzilla movie. People can argue about the power plant scene and shows the emotion of the Dad and son part in the movie, but I feel the whole sequence in the fathers apartment pretty much explained everything. All the emotion was there and you knew it without having to see it (power plant scene that is). This edit flowed very well with me and gives me another alternate version to go and watch again. The visuals were gorgeous and the editing top notch. I really enjoyed this edit Excellent job Ranger! I will definitely check out your other edits for sure.
