The spring and summer seasons have witnessed Hollywood superheroes scrambling for the Chinese box office one after another. But this time, it's a remake of the classic monster film Godzilla that's causing all the buzz. The 3-D blockbuster made its China debut on Friday.

The spring and summer seasons have witnessed Hollywood superheroes scrambling for the Chinese box office one after another.

"Invasion of the monster. After sweeping across America's cinema lines, Godzilla has landed in China, right on the 60th anniversary of the monster's creation."

The sci-fi flick stars Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen, and has been a global sensation since its premiere in North America on May 16th. 60 years since the debut of the Japanese franchise, Godzilla, one of the most globally recognizable movie monsters of all time, still has a strong allure for movie-goers.

"I came to watch Godzilla with my child. He likes blockbusters like this very much." a movie-goer said.

"Godzilla. That's what I came for today." a movie-goer said.

"I have seen the Godzilla filmed 60 years ago. This time it is shot in 3D and has better visual effects, which is normally what I come for at the cinema. As for domestic films, if I have a lot of time to kill, I'll buy tickets and watch them." a movie-goer said.

During the first half of this year, Chinese audiences have been overwhelmed by Hollywood monsters wreaking havoc on the world, and superheroes who manage to save it. From the most recent "X-Men: Days of Future Past" to "Amazing Spiderman II" and "Captain America II", superhero stories with cutting edge visual effects have been the most powerful attraction for movie goers.
