Getting back to the original topic, of course it isn't a game changer. This is not to insult the film or the score, which I haven't seen or heard. But is anybody humming the Godzilla theme? Will they be playing a pop version of it on Top 40 radio? Is anybody in any way discussing the music? (Besides here, of course.) I think the answer is no.
In 1977, the score (not just the movie) to "Star Wars" was everywhere. The theme -- not just the Meco disco version, but the actual soundtrack recording -- was on the Billboard Top 100 Songs list! (Okay, it was 99. But still!) That's what makes a game changer. The public has no awareness of the score to "Godzilla," they couldn't hum it for you, hearing it out of context would mean nothing to them. It will never be a punchline on "The Simpsons."
So keep hoping, by all means. But no, it's no game changer.

I'm not a fan of the 98 version, but I do agree with this persons assessments.

Scroll down to Krakendueler's second post. S/he saved me the trouble, haha. Picked every point apart with ease.
Nope, the arguments stand! There was a reason the 98 characters were in the film and doing what they were doing. Also the set ups and conflicts were a lot better. Also the Zilla chase at the end which lead onto the bridge was spectacular, dramatic and exciting. The climax in 2014 was dull, boring, undramatic, too short- oh wait Zilla had to take a power nap every 5 minutes.
Nope, they don't! You'll believe what you want to, I guess, which is a running theme Octoberman likes to endorse.
The Zilla chase at the end of the movie was the only watchable part...but it's also because it was one of the few sequences in the movie with ANY tension at all. But it's also a lame death for Zilla.
And come on, you liked the stupid crap with the newly-hatched dinosaurlings chasing Ferris Bueller down the hall? That looked so bad onscreen.
So the 2014 climax with Godzilla vs. not one but two monsters was dull compared to Ferris Bueller running around NYC and "Zilla" inexplicably laying eggs in a climate unsuitable for a reptile nest? (Note that the MUTOs did not require any sort of environmental or atmospheric conditions for a nest, only radiation.)
Tell us how awesome Pirahnaconda was, man.

I didn't say it wasn't dumb. But it WAS dumb fun.
Better than lazy @ss fatardo Zilla that can't muster enough energy to do anything for more than five minutes at a time. And when he was fighting, all he did was wave his arms around while standing in place like he ran into a hornets nest. LOL
The chase through the streets and onto the bridge in the 98 version was thrilling and for its time amazing SFX.
Oh and when the baby zillas started to trip over the gumballs? LMAO! But in a good way.
