All right I am finally going to see this tomorrow and I am pretty hyped. The question is whether to see it in 3D or not. I generally have no interest in 3D but this seems like the kind of film it would actually be worthwhile.
I have only ever seen one film in 3D, Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black. Which was a terrible film with terrible 3D. But I don't know if the 3D just looked bad because it was done shoddily for that film, or if I have those eyes that don't really work right with 3D films.
Maybe it was just the theater I saw it in, but for some reason the entire thing seemed really dark to me. Like someone needed to turn the brightness up the entire time or something.

Yeah, I was forced to catch a 3D showing and it was pretty gloomy, although that's a fairly typical complaint of 3D; I don't think Godzilla is particularly any darker than any other 3D film I've seen.
And of course I haven't seen the non-3D version to compare with, it may be supposed to be pretty dark I dunno.
The big problem with dark 3D movies is that they are supposed to be shown on a brighter screen that counteracts the darkening of the glasses, but a lot of theaters don't bother getting them installed.

I had forgotten about the darkness issue with 3D. Think I'll just stick to the standard pair of dees, then.
Oh, well, I watched it in 2D and it seemed really dark
But having seen clips and stuff on YouTube I have to assume that it wasn't the movie as much as it was something with that particular projector or something
3D: Pretty pointless. It was neat in the opening title and that was it. Glasses were super annoying.
Monsters: Fuck awesome.
Rest of the movie: Complete shit. Terrible writing, terrible directing, terrible acting. The characters were horrifically one-dimensional, stereotypical to almost an offensive extent and uninteresting except for ONE of them and that one dies at the beginning. It went completely the opposite direction the last American Godzilla did and overdid itself on the opposite side of the spectrum yet both ended up as awful.
Except the monsters in this one were cool as hell.
When Godzilla plasma-barfed down the female muto's throat I totally came in my shorts.

Just saw it. Thought the plot, dialogue and acting was mediocre at best. But the monsters were brilliant and that's what I went for. I loved the way they looked, moved and sounded. Every second Godzilla was on screen was perfect.

Why I fear the ocean.

That's right; my airport plays classic rock instead of elevator music.
