King of Monsters: Better than Ever

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2014)

Gareth Edwards brings Godzilla into a whole new realm of monster movie. His adaption is intense, well written, and most of all beautiful. Godzilla has never looked better. In fact, no movie creature has ever looked this good, (I saw it in IMAX, which I highly recommend). Godzilla and the other creatures are truly terrifying. The movie is less from the overall perspective of the monsters, but instead a perspective of the people. This idea initially got me worried, being the huge fan I am, but I could not have been more satisfied. Edwards did a great job of integrating classic aspects of the old movies to life all these years later. The action scenes were stunning and heart pounding. And to add to it all, the characters had real motives which brought a whole new realness to the Godzilla story. They integrated him into real history which was very clever, and made the whole situation quite believable. If you're a die-hard fan or just a movie lover, this will not disappoint. One thing is for sure, spend the money to see it on the big screen, it will be worth it!
