Re-invented, for all the people that haven't seen the originals

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2015)

This film doesn't bring anything new to the franchise as such, but it does re-invent it for all the people that haven't seen the originals (maybe because they weren't born or because they don't see them as classics), this is better then the remake from 1998 and it really tells the story very well.
In the beginning it feels like it is very mystical and I was almost afraid that this would turn into a film like Cloverfield where you don't actually see the beast or beasts, only in very short clips. With the CGI today we don't need to hide the big monsters that could seem fake away, because they are really realistic, in the way they look, in the way they move and how they affect their surroundings. I think this has been done very well and even though their is a lot of dark places, it is only to help the imagination kick into overdrive, when these big giants fight :)
I was entertained, the entire build up was very elaborate and believable, it was a good introduction to the film and the genre and how it was tried to cover things up with events that actually have happened. The story of the film supports the events very well and a kind of mad scientist to discover or reveal parts of the myths woks out very well.
