Godzilla

Rating: 5/10 (15 June 2019)

A pure and simple action thriller, Godzilla does not get into the nitty gritty science and lores, which in a sense is a tribute to the original Godzilla movies. The film is thrilling with some very memorable scenes involving Godzilla and the MUTOs. It's use of CGI and monster designs are on a scale that is fitting to the stature of Godzilla. However, the human element of the film really drags the entire movie down. The lines are too cheesy, characters aren't introduced properly nor do they have significant motive or character development, leaving me to wonder at times a whole lot of "why" and "how". From Bryan Cranston to Elizabeth Olsen, everyone feels a little awkward and forced in the film.
