Very Solid Godzilla Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2017)

I appreciated this movie greatly mostly for the fact that it follows more along the lines of the 1954 classic. It's a much darker Godzilla story then what has been shown in the previous 1960-1990's Godzilla movies. I will agree that Godzilla was shown for not much time and they definitely should have found a way for him to come in earlier. There were also a few scenes that didn't happen that definitely should have happened. I think we all know what scenes they are *cough cough* airport *cough*. There were some things I was disappointed in, but it did so much right for Godzilla. Every bit of Godzilla you see in this movie is the real Godzilla. He is back and ready as ever to kick monster ass. He is NOTHING like 1998's travesty of a monster. The MUTO's were also very well designed and interesting monsters. The fight scenes are excellent and well choreographed. Overall I thought it was a great Godzilla movie with a lot of homage to the original 1954 Gojira. It was also a great way to set up the monster universe. I'm very excited for the upcoming movies and really hope that they don't pull a lot of these mistakes a second time. It works effectively this time, but a second movie like this would kill it.
