Finally the Real Godzilla!

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2018)

After the awful Emmerich's Godzilla of 1998, I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but indeed I had to change my mind. This movie of course isn't a masterpiece, but has the merit of extablishing a good tone for the sequels, and FINALLY presenting us Godzilla for what he really is. Godzilla is not evil, nor good, hes simply a force of nature. In the 98's movie, I felt really bad, Godzilla was depicted as a poor creature who get's killed by the humans, indeed I had the feeling that humans in that movie were the real evil, suppressing an animal who only tried to survive. I felt really sorry, it was like destroing a legend. This time however, is finally showed the real Godzilla, not good, not evil, simply above human perception of existence. Of course, in this movie there are some bad things too, some inconsistencies and contraddictions, some things seems conveniently too simple, like the main character living with his family in the very same place where in the end the action take place and where the monsters arrives from across the globe... But, whatever.. In the end I think this movie has more good things than bad, a great photograpy, a good script and a evocative soundtrack..
