Godzilla (2014)

For 60 years now, Godzilla has been the undisputed king of the monsters. He has evolved from the man in a rubber suit that frightened audiences in the 50s to a great big cgi monster! So, with his 32nd film, will his return to the silver screen be triumphant or fall flat like America's last attempt at the king of kaiju? Well, let me say this...this is the BEST American Godzilla thus far! Godzilla: King of Monsters from 1956 was Hollywood re-cutting and adding some scenes to the original 1954 film while Godzilla from 1998 featured a giant iguana crushing New York while Puff Daddy ruined a Zeppelin classic. Not much competition, I know. However, this film was great! The monster himself had me smiling like a kid from ear to ear and the Muto (his adversaries in this film) have a head that reminds me of a Transformer from the Michael Bay films with the body of an insect. The fight scenes were awesome! Now, for the other hour and 50 minutes. In that time, we have a solider fighting to get back to, then save his family in San Francesco, a scientist pleading with American soldiers to let the king beat the crap out of those radioactive insects and, said soldiers following Godzilla while he swims from Hawaii to main land America. Yea, he doesn't spend much time in the film which, is a bummer but, he looks great! Way better then the iguana! Oh! Another bummer is in how they TEASE some fight scenes! However, when they do fight, it's worth it! Overall, even with the fact that he spends little time in the film (the full Godzilla at least) it is still very well done. So, with that said, yes! The king of monsters is back doing what he does....crushing cities and everything in his path cause he's Godzilla and he can do whatever he wants!
