I said once i went out the theater: Godzilla finally found the perfect movie for itself yet. The story works as well the pace and the special effects. The first half of the movie is absolutely perfect with all the destruction that the monster provokes. It leaves to the viewer unforgettable scenes. But the second half is not at all a disappointment. The action sequences are effective and spectacular. Godzilla is truly frightening. Young viewers are advised! The acting is also so nice delivering solid performances and helping the drama. Bryan Cranston may be a standout but Elisabeth Olsen is a scene stealer and a very important role here. With any doubts I had an encounter with one of the best movies of the year. But now, after some days I say: This is a riveting entertaining that will please the moviegoers. But it's s disappointment in terms of the monster itself and its fights against the other. An important lack.

OK, first review, I never meant to post one, but after this I HAVE TO :-D I liked Cloverfield, Pacific Rim, ... but this is just a total mess. No main characters, not even Godzilla (who is mostly presented from far distance). The script is non-existent. Some Monsters walk from one nuclear facility to the next and break some stuff, that's it. Nothing and no one to care about. You might say "Hey, it's Godzilla!" Sorry, no excuse for wasting my time like this. Midclass FX, a step above modern TV Shows, not more. Dumb dialogue. A few (!) decent shots. I mean: 160.000.000 $? Really? What for? Some generic SFX routines and no real cast? Don't waste your time.

I am a big fan of this type of film, monsters fighting, big action sequences but wow did this film disappoint. I always take these movies for what there are and in the end they have to be fun if nothing else. Pacific Rim is a great example of how these films should be made, we know the acting and story is going to be weightless but action and comedy make it fun to watch. Godzilla has taken the very popular of recent trend of being dark or "gritty" as people like to call it but that really struggles to work in a a film that is fundamentally about a giant lizard. The story line is one of the worse ever conceived with no explanation of any of the random things going on. Where have the MUTO's come from and what is there actual purpose? Does Godzilla just sit at the bottom of the ocean until humanity is at threat? Bryan Cranston is a great actor no doubt and for his very brief stint in the film he does his best to add some suspense. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who i like in Kick Ass) is a cardboard actor who isn't really given the script be anything else. Some of the lines in this film feel like a 3 year old has been let loose with a pencil. The action (or lack of) is average. The fights between the monsters were not well choreographed, they were too slow and the camera was to far out. Godzilla is on screen for about 8 minutes of total and only 2 of them are him fighting. Hes more like the Michelin man that a sleek moving monster. He moves like an action figure with its joints glued. Maybe it would have been better for him to die at the end at least that way there can be no sequel!! Lots of reviewers gave this film 8-10 stars and i'm starting to believe we may not have watched the same film, I went to see this film on those reviews and wanted to bring some balance. On another note....the trailer for this film is completely misleading, Hollywood needs to take a long hard look at itself. Conclusion: Bad acting, worse story and serious lack of action or fun. Avoid like the plague although if i had the choice between the two id flip a coin!!

Absolutely NOTHING happens in this film. I had no expectations for this film at all; at best I assumed it would just involve some crazy CG fights between the big lizard and some other monster, in which collateral damage would reach beyond-Man Of Steel amounts. But that's the thing - it didn't even have that. Instead, you've got the guy from Kick-Ass who seems to be incapable of expressing any sort of emotion at all, regardless of what is happening. And then as soon as the monsters start fighting, it cuts away. I...I've got nothing more to say. Don't see this movie if you like actual movies. And why the HECK was Bryan Cranston involved in this nonsense?!

I wasn't going to review this film, however, after reading mostly negative reviews, I felt I needed to put in my two cents worth. I am definitely in the minority on this one. I loved this film. It captured my attention instantly and held it for the entire two hours. Sure, the plot is familiar, but anyone who expects a new plot for one of the oldest, most famous monsters ever, is nothing but kidding themselves. This is a new version of some of the old "Godzilla vs....." movies. Not similar to the 1998 film in which one monster stomps around and destroys the city. Sure, that also happens here, but not without an epic battle between Godzilla and other radioactive monsters. Yes, most reviewers are complaining that Godzilla only appears for 10 minutes in the movie. This is true, as the other monsters have more screen time, but most of the film is built on suspense, and in my opinion it works very well. There is still plenty of chaos and destruction for the action buffs. The human story (about Ford Brody and his family) is quite weak and almost non-existent. But that does not take anything away from this epic monster movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it is VERY entertaining. 10/10
