I caught the 5 p.m. showing at the Nuart on May 14th, and the crowd, which was nice sized, was very respectful.
There was no laughing, and the end of the film was received with polite applause. The whole event was rather somber, actually.
I kind of wished that a second feature, like Gamera: Guardian of the Universe could have been shown to lighten the mood. This is because of the dark, documentary feel of Gojira.
It was so great to see it in a theater.
Ishiro Honda's original is, without doubt, the pinnacle of giant monster films.
