Less is more

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2014)

..the flavour of the day with GODZILLA 2014 is that less is more.
Having loved Gareth Edwards' "MONSTERS", i was quite excited when i heard he was helming this new GODZILLA-entry. Tack on the incredible acting names that he pulled (Ken Watanabe, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, David Strathairn) and i gotta say i expected more then your average Godzilla entry.
And boy did we get it.
I really liked how the Monsters had personality, and really they weren't BAD guys. They just paid us no heed, really, as we are like ants to them. Its all very similar to "MONSTERS" in that regard. They are really just trying to exist in this world.
The action set-pieces were awe-inspiring in their scale. Very exciting, and the build-up to the final fight was incredible.
I really hope Gareth Edwards is involved with the next film in the series. He knows how to bring a rare humanity to giant-monster-scifi!
