Excellent Feature

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2014)

If you are a fan of good old fashioned Godzilla, then you will love this one.
Considering that the movie is, primarily, CGI, you don't even notice it. The realism is off the charts. The acting is sub-par, but it reminded me of the old school Japanese versions that were dubbed over. I think it spent just a little too much time with the back stories and not enough on the main story, but the action sequences made you forget all that.
This was the first Godzilla I have seen that had blatant deaths in it, (people getting eaten.), although there was no blood and zero harsh language. There is only 1 'Jump' scare. I went to see it with my 8 year old who loved it. There were a few moments where he stood and cheered.
This movie is for all ages, if you remember seeing these movies at the drive-in or if you are old enough to spell Godzilla. It is a great movie. I give it 9/10, but I am a old fan of these movies. I am so glad this one didn't cheese.
