Got to like Godzilla - kstar0327
This is a great little movie one that a lot of people have overlooked over the years. I am not a big fan of these types of movies, I saw this originally about 10 years ago and loved it.
This movie has something for everyone action adventure and of course a 20 story lizard doesn't hurt either. A great movie for all ages.It's *Godzilla* - Isbn
I have no idea why people are so hard on this movie. I went into the theatre expecting Godzilla. I grew up in the era of the Grindhouse, and I fondly remember many a Saturday afternoon spent watching horridly dubbed Godzilla, Mothra and other movies, so I wasn't expecting high art, I was expecting a Godzilla movie.
What I got was a very entertaining, well written, well acted film.
Yes, I was *entertained* - why is that such a bad thing?
In the ten plus years since this film came out, there have been a dozen or so of my childhood memories forever tainted by horrid "re-imaginings" or out and out badly done spoofs of tv shows and movies. They aren't entertaining, they are pathetic. Godzilla was completely true to the spirit of the originals, the director and the writers understood that.Not great but certainly not so bad - Coconut_Willy
Obviously, if you are a dedicated fan of the Japanese Godzilla series, you will not like this as it is very different from what you are used to see. That being said, it is a well made movie, a very big production with all that it entails; spectacular action scenes, well made special effects, well known cast and crew. The storyline is not very original as it's basically another rehash of the 'monster takes Manhattan' theme. The side plots in general are even worse although I must admit that the attempts at humor made me laugh on occasions. The cast of well known faces does an acceptable acting job with an uneven dialogue. The sets and locations are great, the soundtrack is good as well as the camera work. The best part is by far the action scenes and the special effects. If that's what you're looking for, you will not be disappointed.
