The greatest monster movie ever made?

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2014)

In terms of sheer awesomeness, hardly any other monster movie can touch this film. Everything about it is massive, and feels massive. This is what all serious monster movies want to be.
I had very few complaints when watching the movie. None of the ones I usually had were in the film at all, like the military being completely incompetent or people getting killed by the monster by doing dumb things. It felt very realistic and everything had weight to it. Seeing it in IMAX only helped with this, the depth was fantastic.
Godzilla was faithful to the original monster, and felt respected as Godzilla instead of just a big dumb monster. The designs of the MUTO's did seem a little out of place, but they did look great as well. A few scenes were very striking when they stood in full form, same with Godzilla.
This was the first movie in a very long time to give me chills. I can't stress enough how massive everything felt. I recommend IMAX if possible.
Even if you aren't a fan of the original Godzilla, you can still find things to love in this.
