Don't watch/read anything about the movie before going in.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2014)

I was forced to go to the cinema with the guys, expecting this to be a flick where Godzilla shows up and destroys everything, then they kill it. Lots of explosions and special effects, pretty standard story, blah. Nope. I was actually surprised, and I enjoyed the whole thing.
The story was more intricate than I expected, and it kept bringing up surprises, the visuals were pretty on point, and it did give me quite a thrill.
Watched this in 3D, which was good, but nothing overly spectacular, it didn't add too much for me.
Don't read anything about this, keep an open mind. This isn't a movie about a monster that comes out of nowhere, destroys a city then gets killed. Lots of fun.
