Impressive, very well done, faithful to Toho

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2014)

It's refreshing to see a Godzilla movie that takes its subject seriously. GODZILLA 2014 is an impressive work by a director who clearly wanted to pay tribute to Toho Studios original creation. Having said that, Godzilla isn't in the film all that much. But he looks realistic and is the Godzilla we know and love. This is one of the few films that actually lives up to the expectations set up by the trailer. There are two other creatures in the film, as well as a few human characters. It's not often I see a film where "big Hollywood special effects" as balance with a good, solid, well-told story. Kudos to all involved. This is a Godzilla film to remember.
