A Good Movie But Not Exactly What You Expect

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2015)

If You want a cheesy campy movie about a giant Japanese monster destroying things for then entirety of the film, like the original Godzilla movies, then this film is probably not what you are after.
Godzilla focuses on the characters and subsequently less on Godzilla himself. There are beyond doubt some amazing sequences of Godzilla and the other two monsters battling it out and destroying countless building on the way, but it ins't what the movie focuses on. Godzilla seems to be sidelined in his own movie.
Godzilla focuses on Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen's characters and their relationship. There is plenty of family drama when Bryan Cranston's character's wife dies and when Bryan Cranston's character dies himself.
Over all Godzilla is a great movie definitely worth watching and buying on Blu-Ray. It is a more serious, less cheesy and campy than its predecessors.
