6/10 meh
could've been better

so here is my review of the new godzilla movie, i'm sorry if this offends anyone but this is my opinion and you don't have to agree or read this.

Please don't read if you haven't seen it

First off, the way they handled the history of Godzilla was very confusing. I think they mixed some information up or changed some things that don't correlate into the old films. Plus for new godzilla fans, the explanation was really confusing.

Second, I found myself half the time screaming because they kept teasing us with a fight scene only to diverge it into the human story. It was basically about the people more than godzilla himself. Might as well name it "Humans doing nothing useful featuring Godzilla." It wasted so much time and energy just to prove that they couldn't do shit against these creatures. They were like "safety! safety" but those people ended up dying anyways. I found myself laughing so much when I saw them shooting at the monsters as if it were going to harm them when they clearly knew it wasn't.

Speaking of the fight scene, it was so god damn short and unsatisfying. You had 2 minutes of fighting at the end, which seemed rushed, and an awkward ending. They tried to pull your heart strings only to fail. The fighting was slow paced as well, I was expecting Mr. Zilla to grab that god damn piece of flying poop and rip his wings off at one point but that was expecting too much I guess.

This whole movie was basically about the humans and people just standing around going "we gotta do something!" and achieving nothing but danger to themselves. There were so many flaws in the way things were thought out, I just wanted to slap a few people.

also am I the only one who was annoyed they made it begin in Japan but had an american family be the main focus of the plot? Like...couldn't you have made it authentic a bit and have subtitles or something? It seemed like they were saying "oh hey this is in japan but don't worry we have americans here so you can understand them and relate yay!"

My friends and I have deemed the main guy to be radioactive or some shiz. This man survived 3 times because of plot armor AND everything had to happen around him because of muh plot.

Did he really have to lay on the boat with the nuke as well? Couldn't he just put it on auto, push the boat off the dock and stayed on the dock? Or I don't know, unequip all his gear and jump in the water?

Also please someone give that bus driver a medal of honor. He was the only one who did anything and was actually thinking correctly.

Why did they keep the young guy alive if he really wasn't useful at all? Should've kept the dad alive so he could've helped with the research and stuff but noooo

also I laugh because the dad's research was like a big thing only to be shrugged off as "oh yeah we already know this"

The CG was fantastic though, I didn't mind Godzilla to be bulky although it did look awkward as he fought but I wasn't too much bugged about it.

Why were there doors in the nest?

Did I mention that weird ass ending? Couldn't they have like..ended it with godzilla roaring in the city and bam title screen? Instead of awkwardly staring into water for 10 seconds.


yeah but there is my personal opinion, to me it really wasn't worth the money.



TLDR: Muh human story, unsatisfying fight scene, CG was good, awkward ending, not worth $12
