The human element was better too, but not to the same extent.

Not perfect but I really really liked it. My biggest complaint is actually Dr. Serizawa. He just looks like he's in deep thought in every scene but never really offers much of anything. (Other than "let them fight", I guess) They supposedly studied one of the MUTOs for years and he still doesn't really know anything about them. Pretty useless overall.
Even though I'm a diehard suitmation fan, I really loved all of the monster scenes. |

The movie was fantastic. I keep reading people say that they did not show enough Godzilla or it took too long for him to appear on screen.
Um. That is the case for a LOT of the Godzilla franchise. I have been watching them all since I was a kid and have seen every single one. Commonly Godzilla does not show up right away and is often not on screen as much as people remember. It is only in movies like Destroy All Monsters that he is there all the time. This was a fantastic Godzilla movie. Probably in the Top 5 for the entire franchise. A Godzilla movie made for fans by a Godzilla fan. |

The whole thing about there "not being enough Godzilla" in this movie is to build tension. You don't see the entirety of each battle between these creatures because we as humans wouldn't really be able to comprehend what they're doing anyway. We wouldn't be able to experience the full scale and scope of them. So by showing us brief looks at each creature we get a nice dose of reality, the reality that we are completely insignificant to them. And the climactic battle at the end really drives the point home even further if you ask me.
I enjoyed the hell out of it, and while I legitimately do get some of the criticisms the film is receiving, I feel like most of those criticisms aren't very well informed. Almost like people are ignoring the structure of the film and it's focus.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Was tense and pumping with adrenaline from start to finish. Thought they handled both the human and monster elements of the film perfectly. I may not have watched many Godzilla movies, but this felt true to the source in every way. EDIT: As for Ford not doing anything, I beg to differ. The guy completely destroyed the Muto nest on top of making sure the nuke got away from the city. He was prepared to die to do so.

I will say that ending is totally jacked from Dark Knight Rises. The way the nuke explodes in the ocean and the hero makes it out just barely.
Still fantastic though.

As a long Godzilla fan, I can safely say THIS IS THE AMERICAN GODZILLA FILM WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR!! I couldn't contain myself. I love how everything just goes together and the way they tease us until we get to the climax. I also love the MUTOs and how they handled them.
9.5/10 Highly recommend it.
