Godzilla (2014)

GodZilla was definitely the most anticipated summer movie for many and it does deliver. Yes its a Monster+Disaster Summer popcorn flick which should not be getting a score more than 8, but the magnanimous presence of Godzilla adds the +2 points ;)

The success of Godzilla lies in the art of creating a build up, the art of creating the tension, and the atmosphere. It was not the first time you were watching mega monster invading a city, but still the makers managed to create the anticipation.
It is just not a Monster vs Monster movie. Maybe some last minute and conscious decisions were made not to focus on the monster battles, after PACIFIC RIM under-performed last year, the makers focused more on the Legend of Godzilla, investing on full half of the movie, 3 characters including Bryan Cranston solely for glorifying GodZilla with references like "Force to restore balance of nature" ,"Alpha Predator" ,"top of food chain" and the monsters with words like :"it will take us back to stone age".

The question of the day is "Does the last act live up to expectation?"...well we are Men, 'satisfaction' & 'fashion' doesn't exist in our dictionaries :P. I guess we could have had more screentime for Godzilla...some moon-walking, some foot stomping ,some more tail-slapping and some chest thumping...but never mind ...this one is sure shot $500 mill+..we will get a sequel.

The CGI and sound have delivered the most spine-chilling moments in recent times. The atomic breath re-charge is one of them and to my memory ,the best in this decade after Avengers's: "I am always Angry".


Come on WB, make GodZilla: Atlantic Rim ....
PS: GodZilla is nice at heart, I will name my next Dog after him .
