So, FINALLY....
Godzilla (2014)
Here again, is my beakdown of all the other Godzilla flicks...
- Godzilla-gala (Part 1) (classic series)
- Godzilla-gala (Part 1.5) (cartoon, toy, comic)
- Godzilla-gala (Part 2) (80's-90's series)
- Godzilla-gala (Part 3) ('99-2000's)
- Universal Monsters, Part 2. (this one was on the horizon)
- Big summer 2014 movie preview. (ditto)
Gotta say, overall, this is the best one I've seen, in terms of a believable monster.
They finally did it, and by "did it", I mean they didn't fuck it up like the '99 version.
Bury '99 it's dead, this is the antidote.
Now, nitpickery....
- Should have been called "Godzilla vs. MUTO".
- Too much humans, not enough monster.
- Too much MUTO, not enough Godzilla.
- WTF is this shit with nighttime monster fights? Is this a new rule? Fuck you, do it in broad daylight, and let us see that shit.
- Too much buildup.
- Not enough Bryan Cranston. Once he exits the film, you don't give a shit about the others.
- The last half hour or so makes it all worth it. You finally get the goods.
- Even then, you'll be thinking "get those fucking Army guys out of there! Sick of them! Show me monsters!", in the tiny back corner of your mind.
- Enjoyed it more than "Pacific Rim", just like I thought I would.
- Paladin was right, "Edge", was the better flick. Still glad I saw this though.
There, back on track.
Up next, "Guardians Of The Galaxy".
...or maybe "Lucy".
