Godzilla (2014) - Movie Review

Godzilla is not an easy film to review but I will give it a shot. This film stars Aaron Taylor Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe and Elisabeth Olsen. While it is titled 'Godzilla', the film is primarily focused on the build up. The film starts out with Bryan Cranston as the lead but slowly turns into Aaron Taylor Johnson's film. I really liked when Bryan Cranston was the main focus and it reminded me of Jaws with an interesting and emotional build up. But when the film started to focus on Aaron Taylor Johnson, the film slowed down because his character was a little emotionless.

The actual monster, Godzilla, gets maybe 10-15 minutes screen time. However those 10-15 minutes are absolutely mind blowing. Godzilla is so awesome and the end is worth the movie ticket alone. I saw this in 2D so I cannot comment how the 3D looks but even in 2D, it was incredible. The Godzilla creature has so much emotion on it's face which shows how much attention to detail the special effects crew put in to him. It only took the first shot of the movie to pull off the actual scope of the creature, Godzilla.

Godzilla is a fun movie that could have benefited with a more interesting main character.

I'm going to give Godzilla
