Review of Godzilla (2014) by Eq R — 10 May 2015

Unlike it's 1998 counterpart, this version of "Godzilla" seems to have taken into account the origin of the creature and strayed away from dreaming up their own tale and treated this version with some real TLC.

Besides the fact the creature makes rather few appearances in his own film, it actually works for the film as opposed to against it. It focuses on the human condition and how we band together to survive an attack and the importance of family with an action fueled monster movie as a background.

With the talented cast who's performances range from just good to great, it really sells the depth and emotion each character needs to propel the human aspect along.  With that being said, the monster effects look incredible and these are only displayed more beautifully by the direction of Gareth Edwards and his crew.

Those paired with the spectacular action sets that will make you shout out in joy as I did, make for one hell of a movie that you won't forget anytime soon. A.
