Godzilla

Both the best and worst godzilla movie. The best because of the sfx/vfx/cgi, horror/darkness, casting, and just every scene with monsters. The worst because around one and a half hours of this wasn't needed at all. It was filler for characters who don't last or have any meaning what so ever. I rather they take a few years building a proper Godzilla movie rather than this wasted 'Wanda, Quicksilver and Walter White with a bit of Godzilla' nonsense. They didn't even have to pay Godzilla for this because she was volunteering as a background character.

2014’s ‘Godzilla’ is a thrilling and visually pleasing film that brought Godzilla back to relevance in the states and spawned two other sequels. A more serious take on the iconic titan with a solid cast that’s leagues better than the 1998 movie.

They fixed everything that was so wrong with the first American Godzilla movie. I loved every second, the lighting could have been better in some scenes but I still think it was awesome.

The most American opinion I can possibly have is that this completely rips. Godzilla as a force of nature is best shown in this way; a CGI, lizard like, puppet-less, intense looking monster. There’s absolutely no shade against the classic designs whatsoever, but Godzilla just looks awesome here. What is not awesome is the Transformers-ifcation of this series that also plagues every single sequel, the human characters are BORING and I do not care about them. Military propaganda aside ATJ is just bad here, Cranston for what little screentime he ends up having is not great either, and Ken Watanabe won’t have his moment until the sequel, so if not Godzilla what are we even watching. The amount of times they cut away from something interesting to show something completely adjacent to anything of note is just baffling, especially concerning the MUTO who for some reason (until the final act) the just don’t wanna show. Even when there is some action it is so dark that you can’t even begin to understand what’s actually happening. HOWEVER, the ending is awesome, yeah this rips. 3.5/5
