Godzilla 2014.....WORTH
We all have something that we like, however its so embarrassing that we never really talk about it. I have a confession to make. I liked the first American Godzilla. Well, first when I had a chance to watch it I was Russian kid back in 2000, my family was not extremely rich to go to the movies everyday (the town where I lived was 50 km away from the actual city with the actual movies theater and not the big room where the movie was played on DVD and projected on the gigantic white cover that somebody stole from his grandmother (things changed now), so the only place for me to watch the movie was on the television which I did and liked. But I did watch some Japanese versions years later and understood how shitty the American Godzilla is compared to the original one. Accept my apologies.
But the conversation here is not about my secret pleasure but how epic the new American Godzilla is and to be honest compared to the all Godzilla movies since 1998 this one definitely hit the new ground zero.
The progression of the movie from beginning to an end was quite slow and at some parts, with stereotypical Hollywood drama, annoying if you ask me. But that does not mean that story plot has been ruined by Edwards. In fact it was cooking me more and more for that last bit that totally worth all the money.
The American talent in CGI and sound effects once again showed itself at the very top. The iconic and slightly polished Daikaiju roar in the cinema almost made me deaf and I almost pissed myself from happiness.
The only thing I hope is that if Legendary Pictures is going to make a sequel that the appointed director is going to show slightly more of Godzilla and slightly less story about people. Just enough before it turns into the Pacific Rim. Let's hope for the best.
P.S.
I guess Americans really wanted to prove that they can make a good Godzilla movie after this footage.
