I’ve come to the conclusion I’m just not a fan of big
monster movies. I never really watched
them growing up, I was pretty meh about Pacific Rim, and ultimately I felt
pretty meh about this latest Godzilla reboot.
That’s not to say Godzilla is bad. It’s just not for me. I got the feeling it was a pretty good rendition
of a classic Godzilla movie. It’s better
than the previous remake at least. Much
more tied to its roots. At least I think
so. Like I said I never really watched
the old movies.
For me the movie felt very slow. And there were some lacks of logic near the
end. They really didn’t sell me on the
fact that he couldn’t get the bomb casing open.
He had a harpoon and he didn’t even try to use it level it open, or
smash the glass in front of it. Plus, an
absurd amount of stuff happens in the time from when the countdown on the bomb
is started and they find the bomb. There
was some severe time dilation I had a hard time swallowing. But
you can poke holes in any movie. So I’m
not going to sit here and do that. I’ll just
have to say. If you liked the classic Godzilla
movies, you’ll probably like this. If
you didn’t, this one probably won’t change your mind.
