Godzilla : Movie Review

Hollywood reboots change so many things. Godzilla and Spiderman are the main example. So, I am at the movies thinking Godzilla is gonna be the bad guy but turns out it’s totally different. Direction wise, this movie is very polite, or shy rather because there is no “in your face” action. It works ‘cause the lesser the villan scruffs on your face, the scarier it gets.

Set in Japan at the beginning, Bryan Cranston proves yet again that he can act complex characters, depressed rather. The plot is not very easy to keep up with. It’s confusing at times because of the many mentions of “radiology” and other scientific shit like that. I was not interested at all about the damn science shit but it’s all about making the audience a little confused to keep them on the edge of their seats right?

I said that Godzilla is the summer blockbuster that I look most forward to, (in 2013 it was Man Of Steel) and I should tell you, it’s not as orgasmic as Man Of Steel but not at all a let down like “Now You See Me” which was a total bluff. I like Godzilla because yes, the acting is very good, the young Olsen sister acts all her character’s emotions way too much but it works, also the characters are complex and realateable. Gareth Edwards directs the movie at ground level where in the audience feel as though we’re in the actual movie staring at Godzilla from the window of a school bus. Everything is so Hollywood like the scene where a dog barks at an oncoming tsunami leading to a flood that engulfs the whole city, the dog died? Oh no! It ran away to safety and was it shown again? No.

I’m not even gonna start with the 3D effect because every movie with a 3D tag lately for me means “less brightness, 3D at the beginning but bland all the way through” I’m yet to see an unanimated 3D movie that actually HAS 3D effects post the Avatar 3D hysteria. So, in conclusion, Godzilla is not a boring movie at all. I like it a lot. It’s just that I should not set my expectations too high the next time.
