Re: Godzilla (Edwards, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
Looking back at this thread and my comment compared with how highly I rated it in the poll I'm not sure what I was thinking. This really wasn’t that great.
The best part is the prologue with Cranston. After that it’s kind of just a lot of meh throughout. Godzilla is cool when he shows up, but he’s not in nearly enough of the movie.

On a side note, the whole Godzilla is on the side of humanity despite being a force of nature thing also seemed weird to me. I get he's the alpha predator and maybe only cares when like gigantic monsters wake up, but it seems like the humans with their nukes are a bigger issue to the safety of the planet than the kaiju were. Though I guess he shrugged off that WW2 blast so maybe he still doesn't see us as a threat? Him just sort of waking up from his nap and wandering back to the sea while everyone cheers him on was almost comical (though true to the source I guess)
