The Age of Commercialism

Sadly Over-hyped

A Masterpiece!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Godzilla by Gareth Edwards will polarize audiences. For one the giant lizard is barely on screen and even the fleeting moments are punctured by the focus being strictly on the humans. This is not to say this is a bad adaptation of the iconic Japanese monster- if anything this is more faithful than the 1998 effort. The scenes of mayhem are well executed but we have seen all the carnage so many times it doesn't surprise us anymore. De-sensitivity has set in and even scenes of massive waves rising and hurling towards land don't bring out any kind of excitement. On the other hand, some moments of silence are good- including a scene on a railway track which is a highlight. The actors are all competent.

I loved it! Very suspenseful and exciting! This was the Godzilla movie I was waiting for and hoping for, but the ending is a little weak because it leads the door open for a possible sequel!

Probably, all the people hating this movie are some nostalgic uncles who grew up with the first movies, or with the 1998 Godzilla movie. People don't know how to appreciate.. you can see and feel all the effort and money that were put in the making of this movie, all the casting members, the visual designing team, the work that the producer invested in the film. This movie had an estimated 160 million dollar budget for a reason, the reason are the details. Everything is so perfectly placed and originaly developed. The MUTO creatures, aside from the perfectly accurate looking Godzilla, look phenomenal, unic and beautiful, plus everything looks so real and blends with the environment. 7-8/10

This film is the best drinking game. I shan't lie, me and my girlfriend got pissed watching this. Every time there is a cliche. Drink. Every time 'Sensei' pull the same face. Drink. Every time a child is used as emotional blackmail to make you feel any kind of emotion other than tooth pulling lameness. Drink. Just watch it with people with the sole intention of wasting the evening with intoxication. it'll pass the pain of it. No hard drugs though kids. All in all it was great. loved it.P.s. I'm still quite drunk.
