One day, these secrets awaken and start causing chaos, leaving the King of monsters no choice but to awaken from his deep slumber and take on these evil forces head on.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, written by Max Borenstein, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen and Bryan Cranston.
Godzilla is one of those awesome, classic monster movie creatures that will be around forever. And every 10 to 20 years or so the story is revamped and it's goodness is given to us through a newly made film.
The start up for this film made me smile, as they used historical facts to make it look like governments had already dealt with and taken out Godzilla. Of course, years later they have a series of events that lead up to none other than an appearance by Godzilla.
As a fun fact, I would like to mention that they started up the first scene of the film in 1999. For those of you who recall, this was they year released Godzilla 2000, which was hated by everyone I know including my own father. But I was 11 and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Now a days... not so much.
So basically what they tried to do is erase the memory of that part of the franchise's history. And I do not blame them.
Anyhow, On with the show!
I loved the old school concept Godzilla they used in this remake, reminds me of a DIY movie monster model that I had when I was a kid, the design seemed flawless and with today's technology, makes his actions and movements look amazing.
The acting was alright, nothing spectacular with the exception of the one and only Bryan Cranston.
That man can steal the show no matter what he does!
The story was slightly harder to follow than I expected it to be, but eventually they were able to make it clear as to what was happening or what they were attempting to have happen.
All in all it was a good pop corn flick, the special effects were extremely well done and they didn't over do they monster fight scenes. With that being said I will be giving this new version of Godzilla a 6 out of 10.
It seemed very predictable what they would do with Godzilla after the plot was revealed, but it was still an enjoyable film to watch for the graphics and for some of the fight sequences.
