Review: Godzilla

Let's begin with announcing a spoiler alert, though some of what I say will only be spoilers if you're a Godzilla fan.

Simply put, this was Godzilla. It was fantastically done and is deserving of the name.

If you like action movies, you will greatly enjoy this movie. If you're a Godzilla fan, you'll love this movie. If you like movies at all, you will enjoy this movie.

The acting was beyond what you would expect for an action or monster type movie, and only added to the impressively well made film.

It's plot made pretty logical sense, with only a few slight issues, mostly in the military logic part of things.

Now to the spoilers. It is a san kaiju event. Yes, there are three monsters in this movie.

Rodan is not in this movie. When I said that it didn't look like him, after viewing the trailers, I was right. The makers of this movie did a great job of creating a new kind of kaiju, for the movie so that it wasn't just a remake of a previous battle.

Godzilla is not the hero we were looking for, but definitely the hero we needed.

Go see this movie, you won't regret it.

Sadly, there was nothing after the credits to stay for, so no need to, though it was impressive to see how many military units were involved in the making of Godzilla.
