A Summer Blockbuster with Potential!

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2014)

A reboot of the Godzilla film franchise, 'Godzilla' is A Summer Blockbuster with Potential! It lives up-to the expectations, as it packs in enough WOW moments to sail it through.
'Godzilla' Synopsis: The world's most famous monster is pitted against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
'Godzilla' has a rock-solid first-hour, which to be honest, is barely flawed or boring. The second-hour is hardcore, as the war between the Monster & the Creatures goes no-holds-barred. But, the second-hour has a few shortcomings. The pace is erratic & even the culmination, is stretched.
Max Borenstein's Screenplay, despite its glitches, is well-written & offers enough scope for human-drama & exhilarating action-sequences. Gareth Edwards's Direction is top-notch. Cinematography captures each frame, with brilliance. Editing is decent. Visual Effects are extra-ordinary.
Performance-Wise: Bryan Cranston steals the show with an intense performance. Though he only appears in the first-hour, he owns the film. Aaron Taylor-Johnson delivers a convincing performance. Ken Watanabe is first-rate. David Strathairn is impressive, as always. Elizabeth Olsen & Sally Hawkins are adequate. Juliette Binoche is wasted in a cameo.
On the whole, 'Godzilla' is worth your time & money. Grab your ticket today!
