My grandpa and I were in the hospital when this movie came on and he had so many issues with this movie that he asked that I get on here and let people know that this movie is inaccurate in every way. He also asked me to pull the plug so he wouldn't have to finish this movie.
There are a lot of things the director got right in this film but there were a few mistakes too. First mistake was killing off Brian Cranston so early in the film, I could not believe that! I also think the film takes far too long getting started. Godzilla looks great in this movie and the fight scenes are excellent! The sound in this film is excellent also. If you like Godzilla films it's worth a watch but it could have been so much better!
Godzilla by Gareth Edwards will polarize audiences. For one the giant lizard is barely on screen and even the fleeting moments are punctured by the focus being strictly on the humans. This is not to say this is a bad adaptation of the iconic Japanese monster- if anything this is more faithful than the 1998 effort. The scenes of mayhem are well executed but we have seen all the carnage so many times it doesn't surprise us anymore. De-sensitivity has set in and even scenes of massive waves rising and hurling towards land don't bring out any kind of excitement. On the other hand, some moments of silence are good- including a scene on a railway track which is a highlight. The actors are all competent.
Any Godzilla fan will love this movie. I love the way it stuck to the original idea, yet added special effects that are superb. Is Godzilla bad or is he good? That's up to you to decide. The King of the Monsters doesn't disappoint in this, he just gets down to business and tears up the city in the process. What more could a Godzilla freak ask for?
