No forced bonding, not a bunch of scientists getting together with a lizard expert or monarch stuff, no trying to figure out it’s origins but just a pretty endearing story about a pilot with survivor’s guilt who wanted to do right by people because he was understandably a coward multiple times
The movie had heart and you really root for the veterans at the end because of the fortitude and pride they showed after losing the war and wanting to make a difference
I went into this movie blind btw I didn’t know shit about it besides hearing about it in passing and I didn’t even know it was going to be in theaters until like last week I think
I was ready to write this off as another shin Godzilla which had potential but due to a poor budget was lacking
The CGI was a bit jarring and took some getting used to but I got over it around halfway
His crazy eyes really were funny to me
So as I go through the movie I did not like the neighbor when she found out the main character was alive because she did not react like I would expect a grieving mother to act
She came off as someone trying to act like they are an alcoholic
The writing sometimes when the main character was anguished was iffy at times but it wasn’t too bad but what WAS bad was this guy’s fucking dramatic acting lol
Holy shit man was he horrible. It’s the only part of the movie I didn’t like. All this bad stuff is happening and all he has to do is be sad but he can’t do it lol
Homie never shed a tear the entire movie
The first what? 30 mins were cool but when Godzilla used his atomic breath to destroy the battleship I was like alright I’m in
Then when he destroyed Ginza I went like
Also those reporters on the roof gotta be the stupidest people in the world lol
I really liked the cast overall namely the Captain (best actor in the movie) and scientist weapon guy (to save time I’m not including names)
The human drama is so much more compelling than what we've gotten from the MonsterVerse films we've gotten the last few years. The score, the acting pulls you in. And Godzilla is just fucking shit up
I think this film would be doing better (thought its doing well for a foreign film) if it was marketed more and if Americans weren't so pussy about watching foreign films
