Stunning, a must see

Minor spoilers below
First of all keep in mind...Gareth Edwards is an amateur director...with only one low budget title under his belt before this blockbuster. OK, with that said I think he truly made a masterpiece. This is not a movie for people who are thirsting for monster fights and destruction...even though there is plenty of both in the movie but for some it is not enough apparently(-_-). The beginning is slow and uneventful but in a very good way, building up the back story and perfect human character development. After the male Muto hatches the pace of the movie accelerates RAPIDLY, the fight scenes are well made and teased in the early part of the movie...but believe me Gareth quenches your thirst in the final climax. The Godzilla design is awe inspiring, keeping true to the original film with multiple subtle differences. Where I think this film excels is in the design of the Mutos...just WOW! My new favorite monster design, not to disrespect Toho but they knocked this new monster design out of the park. The human performance by one Bryan Cranston is filled with heart and soul...but it doesn't last long(Spoiler) so that leaves Aaron Taylor Johnson with the remainder of the emotional load...he didn't do as great of job as I would have liked. However, it is better than most! This movie is not just about Godzilla...it is a human driven story. People need to keep in mind that this movie can't be 2 hours of monster fight scenes...it is something more. It is a masterpiece, Thank you Gareth. Thank you!
