Great movie.....

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2014)

Obviously the people that give this show bad ratings have never watched the old Godzilla movies.
In my opinion, this movie adds a modern twist to Godzilla but still stays true to most of it's origins. Godzilla has always been about the battles between large monsters and against man, with Godzilla usually coming out the reigning king. I think it was well written, however I believe they went a bit over board with building character report and did not spend enough time on monster scenes. They also didn't introduce Godzilla in the movie until later than I would have liked. This was a more dramatically written movie than the one with Matthew Broderick. It didn't seem to have much humor, but it didn't really seem to need it either. I have always been a Godzilla fan, and appreciate the contexts from which the story has grown. This movie was done well and I know I will enjoy watching it again in the future.
