Who payed the critics

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Some of these reviews are just crazy! This movie is slow and weird, more like a weird giant monster movie without the "Godzilla" feel to it at all.The CGI was impressive in some parts, but the animation was horrible! Even when they got it right, they got it wrong. When I first saw the monster I was thinking "please, oh please don't let this be Godzilla!" It was like some gross dead fish thing crawling up out of the ocean operated like a cheap Chinese dragon on New Years -- literally. Godzilla's eyes were gross, fishy, dead, cheap, toy-like, and his body severely malformed. Through the movie, Godzilla transforms nonsensically from this mindless, dead fish thing into a manga comic god of some kind. It can shoot laser like beams from cracks in it body with supreme precision without looking or trying. I could go on and on with how gross it was, matched by silly, goofy animation.I think that the movie was trying to say that Godzilla was not a typical giant monster, but rather a demon from hell composed of deformed corpses of demons, apparently sent from hell to bring more hell upon the earth, not as punishment or as a life lesson, but as the opposite. It was like it was in complete agreement with mankind's self-destruction and was here to aid humanity in this process.They stop the creature basically with glue which they say is blood coagulant, but obviously it is not. It is some kind of weird glue that freezes. They have to pump more of it into Godzilla than the total volume of the monster. So embarrassing to watch!Obviously the real monster of the show was the Japanese government which was portrayed as frozen in extremely anemic bureaucracy. These guys would take years of mindless rules and procedures to write the rules and procedures of how to screw in a lightbulb, minus the instructions and forgetting entirely that the entire point is that the lightbulb actually needs to be actually replaced.The acting was okay in some parts, it really did feel like the ministers and the people in charge were a bunch of boring, old hasbeens in a retirement home. By far the best actor/actress was Mikako Ichikawa who played a reoccurring bit-part of Hiromi Ogashira, Deputy Director of Nature Conservation Bureau. Some of the acting would have been better if they were either more comedic, or were not in the movie. Note to actors: Sorry guys, comedy takes a lot of work, and you appeared to be busy with other things that day you were on camera.It was a true relief when most of them apparently where killed by the monster and replaced with some old guy who was just there and not much else. This is by no means satire, more like, "hey we are going to ruin this movie for you until you just can't stand it."The UN is portrayed as some kind of mysterious god which must be obeyed or risk blasphemy. The USA is portrayed as itching to drop atomic bombs on the monster for the fun of it. Apparently the US is not aware of Tokyo at all.Some weird, inept "reporter" like woman comes out of nowhere and makes a point that she is Japanese at heart even though she is going to be the US president. Pointless, absurd, weird, but at least there is a pretty face on the camera for some reason. She is presented in such a worthless, weird way. I could not help thinking that someone said "hey, you want to be in the new Godzilla movie?" and she says "yeah, sure, what do I have to do?" and he replies, "just show up whenever you want to and read the lines if you feel like it, no acting or anything required." So insulting! So embarrassing!This movie is just no fun. Everything you like about Godzilla is completely missing -- except the music which shows up at the end, after the movie is over. The movie ends in the middle, the last conversation said nothing and should have been edited out. What a complete drag!I am certain that the monster's design was based upon a combination of something the cat coughed up and some nuclear disaster memorial.

The movie throws you into the action and hangs on tight but lets you rest for a while. The movie is affective in showing you the actual economic destruction a Kaiju assault could bring.

I won't do much to describe the plot, but this movie does the monster genre justice.A creepy monster, unexpected turns and a wonderful soundtrack all compliment this movie. So many talented individuals went to work on this movie and it shows. Any monster fan should get a kick from the new real installment from Toho.

This a good movie. It is reboot. I would not say it is the best Godzilla movie. The best Godzilla movie is the reboot of Godzilla from 1998. You do not have to agree with that. But if you get mad about it you are a pooh pooh head. This is a great movie. It one of the scariest movies from 2016. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S which is part twenty seven to the original Godzilla series is better. Godzilla final wars which is part twenty 28 to the original Godzilla series is also better. The Godzilla reboot from 2014 is also better. Still this is a great movie. I give it 7 out of 10. See it.
