To all the people who complain there wasn’t enough Godzilla in this movie: Have you ever seen the original Gojira (1954)? Or ever heard of a thing called ‘tension-building’? Surely not.
This film was everything I hoped it would be and thensome! The characters were all great, there isn’t a single bad performance – everyone treats this with respect and add an appropriately serious tone to the film. Ford Brody is my favourite as his strict code of honour and morals was put to the test by malevolent creatures, which created some brilliant dilemmas and great duo scenes with his father (played brilliantly by Bryan Cranston). Themes were perfectly adapted from the original Gojira, which makes this 10x more dark and gritty, but it doesn’t come off as stale or half-assed.
