Guys....It's Godzilla...Relax

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2014)

I am giving this a 5 because any other rating is reading wayyyy too far into this one. There are def a lot of negative reviews on Godzilla and I have to ask why. Who has EVER seen a Godzilla movie that was "good"? I don't even know what the hell that means. This is a movie about giant pre-historic creatures fighting each other over I can't even figure out what...something to do with the balance of the planet or something. Honestly, I didn't even need that much of an explanation. I ordered this movie on demand at 2am because that oxi-clean guy bought up advertising on all my favorite channels. I went into it expecting absolutely nothing and was not disappointed. You can actually enjoy the film if you don't approach it like it's in the running for winning Cannes. I LOVED Godzilla as a kid, but NOT because it was a story-telling masterpiece that was thought and emotion provoking. I liked it because a giant lizard destroyed cities and sometimes fought a big moth that for some reason felt a particular rage towards the island of Japan. If you're looking for more than that then this is not a movie for you.
Would more fight scenes have been cool? Of course. Could about 30-40 minutes have been shaved off? Probably. Was it a coherent, logical plot? Of course not. If you actually tried to follow the story would u have been left missing the movie for what it really is? Absolutely.
It wasn't awful and it certainly wasn't "good" by any means....consistent with every film ever based on Godzilla.
