I was actually shocked that people were skeptical about it. I mean they billed it as "from the team that brought you Wreck-it Ralph and Tangle". Not exactly bad movies. Hell Ralph became my favorite Disney movie up until Frozen came out. Its funny that they call fairy tale princesses girly and dated though. Its a fairy tale which, when done right, are timeless and never really get dated.Trishbot said:I'm one of those people pleasantly surprised by Frozen's quality and success, with similar stories. I recall vividly the skepticism before the movie came out ("oh, it's just Tangled on ice", "Ugh, that snowman looks like a Jar Jar Binks made of snow", "ugh, more princesses? That's so girly and dated.")
Frozen is on track to surpass Iron Man 3's overall box office by next week, reaching the #5 highest grossing film of all time and the biggest movie release of 2013. An original animated movie, with two female leads, a musical, little hype, and it didn't even open at #1 when it was released, becoming that big mostly through positive word of mouth? That's a success story I can get behind.
It was also made for only $150 million. Considering the nearly 1.2 BILLION they've made (and counting), I'm sure they're MORE than happy with the success.
I liked the movie, and to be fair, the people in my theater(packed mid sunday with another line waiting as we left), clapped at a few points and at the end.Zontar said:I don't really understand why, but for some reason while the internet seems to be "meh" about Godzilla, all the word of mouth I've heard in person both at the theater and from people I know is overwhelmingly positive. I don't know, could just be a Canadian thing, but as a fan of Godzilla I actually liked the movie. Sure it's not the best Godzilla movie, but it's sure in the higher side of the scale in terms of storytelling.

Not slow but rather depressed like i am so tired of this i want to go home please just leave me alone.MB202 said:...Is it just me, or does Bob sound a bit... slow, in this episode?
This is a post I can get behind. I hated that they kept breaking away from Godzilla to the humans because the humans were lodged somewhere between incompetent and boring as all hell. I've been banging on about how the film could have been great if, instead of bland-Army-guy and his wooden wife, the film had concentrated on Ken Watanabe and Bryan Cranston chasing the giant monsters around as they tore things up. The movie wasn't bad because it didn't have enough Godzilla, it was bad because there wasn't anything else going on between the tiny few monster fights we saw.theApoc said:I liked the movie, and to be fair, the people in my theater(packed mid sunday with another line waiting as we left), clapped at a few points and at the end.Zontar said:I don't really understand why, but for some reason while the internet seems to be "meh" about Godzilla, all the word of mouth I've heard in person both at the theater and from people I know is overwhelmingly positive.

Was it slow? See I think I need to watch it again. I think I wanted to see Big G so much that it made it feel slow at points. Am I saying it was perfect. Nope, I am also pretty sure there was way too much of the main human character and not enough of what should have been the main character, his dad.
See I don't necessarily agree that lack of Godzilla was a problem, having the movie told mostly from a human perspective was a great idea, Edwards just picked the wrong perspective.
