Yet another cheesy Godzilla movie

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2014)

I was greatly disappointed by this film. It was billed as a "reboot" of the franchise, which led me to believe that it would be faithful to the spirit of the 1954 original; instead, it was much more like those cheesy Godzilla films of the 1960s and '70s. Instead of being a menace to humanity, Godzilla was a heroic figure, saving us from other big monsters, and all the humans cheer for him as he returns to the sea at the end. All that was missing was Godzooky.
If you enjoy those goofball Godzilla-versus-(blank) movies, you'll love this film. If you prefer the classic Gojira, however, don't bother; you're better off with the 1998 movie, which at least got the concept right.
