An Honest Godzilla Review

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2014)

I saw Godzilla today and let me tell you, I was completely BLOWN AWAY. Not just because it was a Monster Movie Epic,But also because of just how negative and false the reviews were from some of the films critics. Let me start off by saying I am a Godzilla fan and have never seen a Godzilla movie that shows off the King of Monsters so well. Many critics write negative reviews just so people will read theirs and be filled with so many negative thoughts before heading in to watch the film themselves. I walked in with some doubt, and walked out in complete and utter shock as to just how well done the film was! Gareth Edwards took Godzilla and did what many films before this couldn't, He made us care about the characters around the King. With the older films I noticed something. I like many others only wanted to see Godzilla and had no care for the human characters. Gareth took time to carefully and fully develop each character and make you care for them unlike many of the films predecessors. Edwards also does a fantastic job at giving Godzilla emotion and a sense of connection throughout the movie. You really feel for Godzilla in the end and this is something all Monster movies should strive for. Contrary to what many critics say, You actually see Godzilla Quite a lot, and the movie is anything but boring. I often times found myself wide eyed, mouth wide open in pure amazement to what I was witnessing. This movie gave me hope and respect for all Edwards has achieved with this beautiful film and can achieve in the future of Godzilla. So, to those hesitant about seeing this film in theaters, please go and enjoy. I can promise you will never see a Monster movie as well told and played out as Godzilla. I look forward to experiencing Godzilla again in theaters, and oh boy what an experience it was!
