Watch For The Special Effects

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2019)

I have a soft spot for Godzilla but I did not expect much of this movie when I started it. I expected bad writing, poor acting and over the top special effects. Well, I got all three of those things but the over the top special effects ended up being what made the movie watchable. The story didn't make much sense and the acting was laughable at times but the special effects were some of the best that I have ever seen. And the fact that they were so over the top made it possible for them to be the main focus of the film. Seriously, whenever I wasn't enjoying a particular scene of dialogue some completely preposterous action scene that was expertly crafted would steal my attention. The explosions, Kong, the MUTOS, everything looked amazing. Other than that the movie was pretty bad but the special effects were so good that it was positive viewing experience. I'm also a sucker for Vera Lynn.
