Every time Edwards' Godzilla rears up, you stiffen with excitement. Every time he roars, Edwards wants you to feel it and wince.

'Godzilla' doesn't feel cynical; there's a sense of joy to the picture, of honest-to-God fun, which separates it from many of its summer movie brethren.

This isn't a thinking man's Godzilla, exactly, but it's certainly clever where it counts.

There's something rather heartening about the fact that Warner Brothers was prepared to hand over the reins of a stonking great blockbuster (and, lets face it, a potential money-spinning franchise) to a sophomore director.

A bit of a mess.

[T]here's a sometimes doggedly to-the-point quality to the film that you can't help admiring in contrast to the breathlessness of so much CGI cinema.

Apr 23, 2021Silly Loud confusing and mainly plotless. The film is over dark and hard to see and the Special effects are clever but the old films made the monster more endearing!Christopher O Super Reviewer

Jan 29, 2021Gareth Edward was a perfect choice to bring back Godzilla after his fantastic feature debut Monsters Bryan Cranston, fresh off the Breaking Bad series, plays an over-the-top crazed father to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's lead protagonist Ford Brody. Cranston's hair must not have grown back from Breaking Bad because his wig looks terrible -- like his performance. Frankly, it makes the first act tedious before he thankfully is killed off. His son and the film's lead Ford is luckily played in a much more understated manner making him likeable and grounding the movie a bit from Ken Watanabe's and Sally Hawkins' scenes of bug eyed stares and stupid exposition. You don't get a glimpse of Godzilla until nearly the first hour mark and the slow reveal is fantastic. And you don't see him again for awhile until he shows up at San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in one of the best scenes of the movie. The movie meanders a lot in the middle act between two many locations that feel like filler. But it's all a setup for an excellent final act and showdown in San Francisco. The special effects are good and you can actually see what's going on in the fights and destruction, unlike the sequel. My favorite scene, even with all the rest of the rampaging, is where the paratroopers skydive into San Francisco and you see Godzilla fighting a MUTO in a POV from their goggles. The payoff is worth the long wait to the end.Mark B Super Reviewer

Mar 14, 2016Not a perfect film. But Godzilla is great popcorn entertainment with great performances especially from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe and more. As well as having a very well written story and script. Godzilla like I said might not be perfect but it still delivers what we want.Mr N Super Reviewer

May 20, 2015Godzilla is a good watch apparently not because of the screenplay but because of its grand visual and audio effects, its action-packed scenes, and for being an overall enjoyable film.Maymay A Super Reviewer
