One of the most controversial decisions in Godzilla (2014) was how little audiences saw the title character. One fan, Dave Szmigiel, dedicated his time to clock how long Godzilla is on-screen per film. (You can check his blog here for the full rundown.) His research pinned Godzilla's screen time at a little under 10 minutes in a 123 minute long movie. This means Godzilla is on screen for 8.1% of the movie.

Briefly, Dead Central reports some minor, but potentially exciting news regarding Godzilla in the upcoming sequel. Barnaby Legg, who created the Godzilla Encounter at San Diego Comic Con '13, is currently present at this year's SDCC. When the topic of Godzilla's lack of screen time came up he replied,

Oh, don't worry. We know. All I can say is stay tuned! You're going to get exactly what you're hoping for.”

It's hard to say if Legg is close enough to the production to hear what the plan is or if he's simply hyping up a sequel he knows little about. For the Godzilla Encounter he was given a lot of production information to make the event authentic; so he may indeed know more than most people. Whether he does or not, it's something to chew on. At this point how could Legendary Pictures honestly not know fans want more Godzilla? As I mentioned above it's a fairly consistent criticism that continues to spark debate.

For those interested, here's a rundown of Godzilla's screen time and percentages he's on screen per film. Credit goes to Mr. Szmigiel*:

Godzilla '54 (8:45 out of 96 minutes) 9.1%

Godzilla better appear more often in the sequel. He's going to be a battle royal after all.

The vast majority of that 10 minutes in the 2014 is just showing Godzilla, period. It isn't just how much time he's onscreen, but the relevance of his screentime. What is he doing, and what impact does he have when he's shown?  Honestly, in that movie it's very little. That's the thing that a lot of people don't get either. You can show him for five minutes but really make those five minutes count. That's what the majority of Toho's movies did, and what Legendary's quite honestly did not.

I can't help but notice 1998's GODZILLA was skipped in this list.  I know it isn't a popular movie, but to act like it didn't happen?  Come on.

@ZILLAJRKAIJUKING "I can't help but notice 1998's GODZILLA was skipped in this list.  I know it isn't a popular movie, but to act like it didn't happen?  Come on." Because it doesn't count as a Godzilla movie, Godzilla was replaced by Zilla, and the movie disrespected the franchise, why do you think the Godzilla Encounter back in 2013 never mentioned it? It wasn't a Godzilla movie, it was a Jurassic Park rip-off, and that's why it's best to ignore it, skip it, and pretend it never happened, it was just a crappy adaptation made by people who never liked the source material to begin with.
