Quite a fat load of fun

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2014)

Warner Bros.' new Godzilla is a fat load all right, not just because of the fuller figure the sea beast flaunts on screen. The priority obviously lay in stuffing in as much special effects and action. If Godzilla 2014 cuts a slim picture, it is in the neat runtime of two odd hours that pack in all the adventure. You wish there was more of it coming.
The film's script has an interesting spin which, if discussed in detail, would be a spoiler and rob all the magic. much better than 1998 because it has much character included in this film than just massive destruction all over the place. Suffice to say this film is not about humans fending against Godzilla the sea monster.
Rather, a clever yet simple twist of plot idea ensures Godzilla actually is a hero.
He may be fat, but he's fit for the fun grind. Go for Godzilla i loved it.
