Have an open mind

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2014)

I'll get straight to the complaint I've heard most about this new reboot of "Godzilla"...that complaint is "he's not in it enough" and maybe so. For the first hour or so he isn't on screen. The story takes the spotlight about a father who lost his wife in an apparent accident and his son who's been trying his best to forget about it. But the father, played by Bryan Cranston insists it wasn't an accident. He believes something else happened and has spent the last 15 years of his life trying to figure it out.
Anyway, I personally enjoyed the fact that this wasn't your typical monster movie where the monster or monsters wreak havoc on earth and everyone runs and screams, buildings and monuments are destroyed and so on. Here, it was almost as if the camera was angled so that we see these monsters from the an actual human's point of view. And lets face it, if something like this would be actually happening in the real world people would be running for their lives. Sure, there would be pictures and videos but how many people would really risk their lives for a video or picture.
When we finally get our final battle between Godzilla and the 2 two "MUTO's", you won't be disappointed. It's a fantastic final fight between them and you end up rooting for Godzilla to come out on top. This might not be to everyone's liking, but for me it hit the spot. A solid 7/10 for me.
