Proper Rebirth of a Classic

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2014)

If you're a classic Godzilla fan, this is the best Godzilla film to date. Give the build up a chance, Godzilla is not your every day character/monster/hero. He is a Mythical Creature, a Legend, a God of sorts... that comes to fruition and delivers. That's what this is. Godzilla doesn't require much screen time to make a statement. Harsh critics are expecting too much, and it's that kind of thinking that leads to an over exposed sequel.
So to those that find Godzilla too fat, and find him lacking screen time, let me recommend the (1998) Ronald Emmerich reincarnation of Godzilla.
Some reviews have stated that the structure, pace and delivery of the story is similar to that of The Dark Knight, however, I found this story to resemble the structure of Batman Begins. The story-line is strong, doing a great job of building up the character of a creature we can barely imagine in our minds. Gareth Edwards then takes our expectations and delivers with visually epic and scaled scenes that represent the enormity of the central figure (Godzilla).
There really isn't much more to say, this is a Godzilla film that intends to go down as a Classic and rightfully, it will.
