A perfect updating of the original...with some of the same issues the old ones had

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2014)

REVIEW FOR GODZILLA (2014)- Up sides- Kick butt fight scenes; these guys are fans of the original Godzilla fighting enemies. Eye candy! For one thing, his radiation breath is fantastic. Not a bad back story built into this movie. Pretty decent characterization. Down sides- Their science is as horrible as ever. My son says: "It's Godzilla. People aren't coming for science.", but about the third or fourth time they get what an EMP does wrong... Facepalm. This movie HAS no science adviser. A few TSTL moments. Seriously, where were these characters during the last 40 minutes of the movie? Overall?- I'd give it 8 out of 10 for getting the spirit of the old Godzilla right, while updating it to what CGI can give us today.
