Just about everything I wanted

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2014)

I've been unbelievably excited for this movie ever sense I first heard about the first teaser trailer shown at comic con 2012 and I was not disappointed. I've been a HUGE fan of Godzilla for as long as I can remember. I admit that the trailers especially early on were a bit misleading but that didn't stop me from loving the final product at all because what I got was a combination of everything that's great about the various Japanese movies.
There was a good feeling of terror throughout the movie with the conspiracy theories and the POV shots of the monsters. Even though this movie was not as dark as I'd expected it still got the point that what was happening was bad across and for me that's good enough. It was also campy like the later movies in the Japanese series without being cheesy.
Bryan Cranston was definitely a big highlight in this movie I just wish he had been in it more. When Cranston was on screen though he completely stole every scene and at this point I'd expect nothing less from him. I also completely disagree with the complaints about ATJ I think he did a great job playing his role. I think he had great chemistry with his family and I think he did a good job doing exactly what he needed to do for this role.
I don't have much to say about the plot except for that it was fairly simple but did a great job paying tribute to the original while still putting a cool new twist on the origin of Godzilla. So overall Godzilla (2014) was every bit as good as I'd hoped mixing everything I love about the Japanese movies
I thought about giving Godzilla a 9/10 but the more I think about the more I realize that I cant really think of one good complaint
So I gotta give Godzilla (2014) a 10/10
