I have yet to see the new Godzilla film; so, no need to whisper me some spoilers. I can understand Expendables 3 will be rated PG-13 but I digress.
As of now, the 2014 American reboot almost gets the same RT rating as Pacific Rim, despite having mixed reactions from critics and moviegoers. Is it because he/she’s fat or Bryan Cranston getting few screen time? Either way, it’s a direct insult to the disastrous 1998 flick.
Godzilla: Final Wars was the last Godzilla movie under Toho banner. Two years later, Kadokawa Pictures gave Gamera The Brave a proper send-off. The following year, South Korea hasn’t learned a lesson from Yonggary thanks to D-War. Finally, Guillermo del Toro gave us a miracle by Pacific Rim after a five-year absence.
What are good things about the Legendary version of Godzilla? The fight scenes are okay, the CGI effects are beautiful and as usual, Godzilla is still as terrifying as the previous incarnations. Also, Bryan Cranston delivers a stunning performance despite only appears one-third of a movie. The bad sides? MUTO sucks. It’s like a mix between Orga and that Cloverfield monster. Both Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elisabeth Olsen don’t impress me (saving for the next Avengers movie). And least of all, more human interaction than monster fighting.
Overall, it’s a great film on its own but not recommended to all Kaiju fans, at least, for a while. Like me, you can wait for its DVD/Blu-Ray release with extra features and behind the scenes.
