Godzilla Film Review

 The Japanese are notorious for fending off giant monsters,

 having had years of experience as the film epicenter

where giant monsters go on the rampage.

Except the latest in a series of Godzilla movies takes place in the United States.

Godzilla follows Legendary Pictures’ Pacific Rim

 in what could be said to be a revival of the iconic kaiju film genre,

which is Japanese for “strange beast”.

With computer graphics and modern cinematography,

we’re no longer watching men in rubber monster suits knocking over cardboard buildings.

These larger than life creatures look and feel real,

and it appears as though they are laying waste to actual cities on the set.

However, the writing and directing are more of a problem.

The story primarily centers on Aaron-Taylor Johnson as Lieutenant Brody

on a journey to try and save his family, as the monsters,

massive unidentified terrestrial organisms, or MUTO,

wreak havoc on everything in their path.

The film focuses more on the actors,

rather than the primary attraction of Godzilla fighting the MUTO.

In fact, most of the time the giant monsters are covered by a mysterious smoke,

shrouded in the darkness of night,

or are shot from a shoddy camera angle taken from the humans’ perspective.

However, this film did a good job building the world

for what will be upcoming sequels of Legendary Picture’s version of Godzilla

and possibly creating a universe for their other kaiju films;

 similar to the way Marvel has built its own film universe with The Avengers.

Godzilla has set the foundation with amazing editing and cinematography,

 and that makes me eager to await what Legendary Pictures will deliver with Godzilla 2.

I’m Julian Devera and this has been films in review.
