Pretty good.

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2014)

-So Godzilla is the movie I really don't need to explain. I will say that its only really comparisons are the original movies, the 1998 "movie" (sigh), and Pacific Rim. Aaaand it was pretty good! It played it safe and kinda shows, but that was good for the formula they had.
-The story was a good update of one of the originals (and I won't tell you guys which one) and I really liked the new looks. I also loved how much they honored the original in the look of the monster, characters, story, and movie overall.
-Its 2 hours and has an origin story pace. I did wish Godzilla was in it a little more earlier on, but the Pacific Rim good fights at the end proved worthwhile.
-The cast was good. Bryan Cranston was great! Ken Watanabe is also one of my favorite actors now! He was so good in it! Yup. I did not really like the lead that much. I don't know his name and his character is not supposed to be all actor, but he still could have used a little range.
-Music was great! Exciting and honored the originals a lot! -Cg was great. Could potentially be an Oscar contender. Also fights rocked.
-Cinematography and look was pretty good too! I was impressed a few times.
-So overall it was infinitely better than the first American attempt/failure in 1998! It was on par with Godzilla as a remake and I enjoyed it. It was not as "cool" as Pacific Rim, but it was deeper and had an actual story. Lol.
-I would give Godzilla a high 7.5. Almost an 8. I liked it more than my 7,5s so far (Amazing Spider-Man 2, Muppets Most Wanted, Non-Stop) but not as much as my 8s (Jack Ryan, Lone Survivor, Saving Mr. Banks, God's Not Dead) I want to give it an 8, but I would not buy it.
-I would however totally recommend it! Content was very mild and it was an awesome monster movie! So if that's your thing then I would totally recommend it! Also stay tuned for X-Men next week!
