The Monster is Attacking the City!

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2014)

A fun ride through and through. A clear improvement on the American franchise of Godzilla. The plot is very well outlined with not only our giant lizard friend, but also tell the story of a Naval Bomb Disposer, and his journey to get back to his family. The acting, while not the greatest ever seen, was well portrayed.
It was quite the wait through the first thirty minutes of the movie. It was very well worth the wait. The suspense is built up until the bursting point, and it was paid off with a show that could only be described as devastating in a wonderful way. Godzilla is a commanding presence as he should be. This time, they got his character design correct, as well as his character as a whole.
While their sequencing can lack here and there, the movie does very well in its payoff. The human tale is very gripping entertainment, but it is augmented by the presence of a true King of the Monsters. Definitely a great start, now on to the next!
