Great Monster Flick

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2014)

I wasn't sure what I was going to think about the new Godzilla movie, but I was pretty interested to see what direction Gareth Edwards would take the film. I really enjoyed his film "Monsters", but wouldn't have picked him to direct a high action Monster flick based off of that film. But I ended up very pleased with Edwards' take on Godzilla.
From the look of the trailer I was worried this would end up being a disaster movie instead of a monster movie. By that I mean I felt there was a possibility this would be more "Day After Tomorrow" than "Destroy All Monsters". But my worries quickly went away once I saw Godzilla in action. The film does a good job of modernizing him but capturing his classic essence at the same time.
All in all I really enjoyed "Godzilla". It had a interesting enough story and it was packed with monster action. Don't expect a masterpiece, but if you are looking for some monster fun this is perfect. 8/10
