i mean, come on

first of all i want to say i enjoyed the movie ALOT. i guess i was hoping the monster would be much bigger. sure it was huge, but fuck if it was even bigger that wouldve been great.
besides its size, its appearance was also kinda blah. it seemed like something i have already seen before in a videogame.
anyone agree?

Ok, what's with the insults? Really people, if you can't post nice don't post. Dude had a valid opinion, and he posted it NICELY. He even said he liked the movie.

This isn't an anonymous board where you can be jerks. It's not funny, and it's not cool.

Sorry, blargh, we're not all like that. Glad you liked the movie, and don't let the brats in here run you off.

If the pics I've seen are any indication, MGP isn't like ANYTHING I've ever seen from a giant monster movie. I've seen stuff like him on a smaller scale in horror, but geesh...he is one funky dude. Kudos to Tippett Studios on coming up with something that doesn't look like an overgrown lizard (or anything else for that matter).

As for size, I've said it before. He's comparable to Godzilla and definitely bigger than King Kong. We're so used to the images of the Big G from our childhood that we forget the buildings he was framed against weren't as tall as what we have in NYC. It's all a matter of reference. If MGP rampaged through Tokyo, he'd look much bigger.

I wasn't disapointed by the monster so much, but that I didn't get to see more of him taking things out. The movie left me wanting more in that reguard.

Perhaps,
but what concerns me is my associate I took along, who felt it just lacked content... too much running around in hallways not enough monster/military/etc action as a percentage of camera jerking.

I wonder how many other folks will be put off by that. I'm worried that not enough people will get enough meat out of the first one to be interested in the second. We'll see how the box office goes.

Did they like Bourne Supremacy?

I was glad they didn't try to saturate the film with action, it would've destroyed the more poignant parts. Same is true for how we were shown the monster - it didn't become a 'monster catwalk' and kept a strong sense of intrigue and anticipation.
