Week 11: Godzilla

In my opinion, this movie was insane. Godzilla was not really that much in the movie, but when he was he kicked serious ass!I don't understand people complaining that the movie wasn't like Pacific Rim and that Godzilla wasn't in it for a long time. I liked Pacific rim, but i think it was a good idea to make something different. This Kaiju film is much more realistic, and has much better made (CGI). In my opinion Godzilla was way better than Pacific rim. As for Godzilla not being in the movie for a very long time, it doesn't bother me because some of the other Godzilla movie's do the same thing, but trust me, when he's on screen, he's the highlight of the entire movie.


Bryan Cranston appears in the trailer like he is the main character but he isn't which i think is really misleading. His son Ford Broady (Aaron Taylor Johnson) takes the spotlight, and must travel from Japan to U.S.A to get his family away from the danger. Aaron Taylor Johnson gets a lot of hate in this movie because "he doesn't seem very sensitive". All i have to say is that i enjoyed him in the movie, and to the sensitive thing, hes a soldier.Some soldiers are like that in real life, so it was somewhat accurate, and i was fine with him. I also liked Ford's wife(Elizabeth Olsen) she played her role really well as a worried wife and mother. I cant wait to see them as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in the Avengers:Age of Ultron.  In the end Godzilla actually saved mankind and just go in to the ocean and swim away, which i think was a really good open ending.

So don't watch this movie if you just want some meaningless monster fights. Watch it because you wanna see a "realistic" Godzilla movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is so far my favorite movie of 2014, and i'm glad that analysts were wrong about the box office, because this movie made $93 million opening weekend. Plus Godzilla 2 and 3 have been confirmed!!!!

Rating:9.5 out of 10
