Awesome Movie, Awesome Character Reboot

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2014)

This was an excellent reintroduction of the Godzilla character, and an excellent movie in general. It was definitely a lot different compared to what I was expecting. That's for sure. But, in my opinion, the movie that we got (with Godzilla as the semi-heroic monster battling against the antagonistic M.U.T.O.'s) is preferable to the movie I had predicted (with an antagonistic Godzilla wrecking things all the way through the movie). This is my new favorite incarnation of Godzilla: a dark guardian protecting the balance of nature, no matter the cost. The special effects are fantastic. The acting is good. The story is great. I have been a Godzilla fan for years, and this is all that I could ask for from a Godzilla movie. I left the theater with a smile on my face, and I would definitely recommend watching this movie.
