Oh No, Godzilla! · 3:15am May 16th, 2014
I got back a little while ago from seeing the new Godzilla flick.
My thoughts?
Flawed, but entertaining.
The special effects were great and it was nice to see an American take on Godzilla that stayed towards the tone of the original. Seeing the destruction played out in these cities was very entertaining to watch as well. And Godzilla's atomic breath on the screen was bloody *fantastic*, especially in a scene that I have no desire to spoil. That being said, it had some issues.
I didn't quite get why you go the trouble to get the main actor of Breaking Bad, and feature him heavily in the trailers, only to kill him off 30 minutes into the movie. And his son, who was the main character, was dull as dirt to me.
Overall though, it was totally worth the price of admission, and there's plenty of more room to tell more stories in this setting. So, I'd say that it's totally worth the price of admission.
Probably got at a good amount of people to watch it. Flash a famous or well known face and the ants come crawling.

Really, him and Ken Watanabe were the two actors I cared about in the movie. We could have lost army bomb disposal guy and lost nothing in my mind. I mean...I saw the movie two hours ago, and I literally can not even remember the character's *name*.
I was supposed to go to a meetup today to see this. And then I couldn't because family had to borrow my car.

Awww. I'm sorry.
Well, I hope that you do get to see it soon. I imagine you'll enjoy it if you're a fan of Godzilla.
