GODZILLA REVIEW
I watched the new Godzilla movie yesterday, and to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed. The main reason of my disappointment were the trailers, which are misleading.
The trailers marketed Bryan Cranston to be the main star of the movie, which is not true. The main character is played by Taylor Johnson, and that is the biggest problem I had with this Godzilla movie.
Ford Brody is the name of Johnson's character, and he is just not very interesting. Brody's dad played by Cranston, was a more interesting character that I would rather see helm this movie. I also thought that the human element of this film was not very strong, and it takes a while to get started. Also, the main character of the movie, Godzilla himself, is not in the movie that much. There are probably 30 minutes of the monster in the whole film, and I wish that we would spend more time watching Godzilla than the boring people.
Now for the things that I enjoyed about this movie:
When Godzilla is on screen it is glorious. All monsters in this movie are HUGE. Some people complained that Godzilla is to fat, but I think that it looks awesome. The CGI and sound in this movie are very good, and I liked the fight scenes when they actually happened, which unfortunately was pretty rare. Godzilla's roar is the best one we've heard yet, and I am glad that it was not fully featured in the trailers, because hearing the actual full roar for the first time in the movie was one of the most enjoyable moments for me.
Overall I liked this movie more than I disliked it, even though it had many flaws. I will give this movie 7/10 for breathtaking CGI, sound, monsters and fight scenes.
