Very entertaining, great cinematography and effects.

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2014)

I'm a 60 year old guy with very fond memories of the Godzilla franchise from my youth. I recently watched "Godzilla: King of Monsters" with Raymond Burr and was really impressed how well it's held up. This remake is oddly true to the spirit of weird heritage of this series. Usually, disaster films heavy in CGI don't do anything for me but this one is oddly affecting. Yeah, humans in it are kind of superfluous to the plot but it's a GODZILLA MOVIE, not Citizen Kane. You go to see kaiju battling it out and cities being destroyed with a few lines of dialog about man and nature. On that level, it's something of a masterpiece. Highly recommended.
