Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2014)

Godzilla(2014) Starring: Araon Taylor Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston,David Stratham,Ken Watanabe,Juliette Binoche,Richard T. Jones,Carson Bolde, and Sally Hawkins, Directed By:Gareth Edwards Review As a child I always wanted to see a Godzilla movie in theaters but unfortunately when there was one in America I was too young to see it and watched that crappy Zilla film from 1998 and my father said"Hey son it's Godzilla." I responded "It doesn't look like him daddy." After waiting for twelve years I finally got to see a Godzilla film in theaters but does it live up to the predecessor from 1954? You might or might have not seen the original 1954 film,if you haven't I suggest you do it's amazing.But this reboot like all the other reboots and countless sequels to Godzilla it connects because it is his origin. In the opening sequence of the film is what in 1954 between America and Godzilla. Godzilla in this picture is not as silly as Americans have thought in the past. If you want a serious film go see this it will be very worth it. If you have followed my other reviews of Godzilla films you would note that not all of them had interesting characters, only three of them. But this finally has both interesting characters and emotional depth with some of them and this is a Godzilla film were you actually get to feel for Godzilla. Bryan Cranston plays a scientist who in 1999 saw his wife die at the nuclear plant where they work and believes that it's being covered up for a reason. His son on the other hand put it behind him, and he has a loving wife and a kid. But after joining his father to pick up some old discs to prove to him he's not crazy,they get arrested and find a giant ball that has electromagnetic radiated energy. A monster is unleashed from that ball and starts wrecking havoc. The rest is left to be seen. The movie is very dark like the original from 1954 and is very real with it's special effects by having a man in a suit of the new designed Godzilla and with some enhanced CGI is made to look like your actually looking at a monster, just like the Japanese films from the past. (if the new monsters were guys in suits or just CGI,I'm unaware.) It isn't as pix-elated as zilla from 1998,it's fooling into believing that your actually looking at a monster on screen. It will be the best CGI you will ever see in a film this year. A lot of the film centers on the human characters Ford Brody(Aaron Taylor Johnson), Joe Brody(Bryan Cranston), Elle Brody(Elizabeth Olsen), Dr. Ishrio Seriwaza(Ken Watanabe) and Sandra Brody(Juliette Binoche). There might be some Godzilla fans who really don't care about that(I never really like those types of Godzilla fans and neither should you). The acting was the best thing about this movie. Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen give the best performances out of the movie. This Godzilla film is the best Godzilla film since the 2001 film(Godzilla,Mothra and King Ghidorah, Giant Monsters All Out Attack)this is a Godzilla film where you feel for the characters and the monster(Godzilla)it's purpose was to bring back the king of the monsters on film well mission accomplished director Gareth Edwards. Godzilla(2014) gets a 10 out of 10.
