A Great Relaunching Of The King Of Monsters

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2015)

I have absolutely always loved Godzilla. Growing up I always rushed to the TV on Sunday afternoons to try and catch which ever Godzilla movie they happened to be showing that week. They were loud and silly movies for the most part, but I fell in love with the King Of Monsters and it was for that reason I was excited to see what they would do with a new movie, especially one without Matthew Broderick. So how did Gareth Edwards and company do? Pretty darn well. Godzilla is a terrific looking movie with some incredibly breath taking scenes, especially the halo jump. The effects on Godzilla himself and the Mutos is flawless, He has never looked better, in fact, then main complaint everyone has is that they do not see enough of him, and I have to agree. There was a little too much human drama, and even my daughter who is ten was surprised at the small role that Bryan Cranston played, Although Ken Watanabe was terrific as the voice of reason, "Let Them Fight!". All in all, Godzilla is a wonderful start to a new series for the King Of Monsters, and I am looking forward to see where they go with it.
