-->'''El Santo''': The US military interposes itself into an ancient conflict between combatants its leaders understand poorly if at all, in response to a devastating attack by one of the antagonists on American soil. The best efforts of the most dedicated common soldier fail to resolve or even to contain the battle, and ultimately make things significantly worse, partly because their commanders insist on a delusionally misguided strategy, and partly because high-tech firepower is simply the wrong tool for the job in the first place. Experts in the relevant fields are sidelined, ignored, and even treated like criminals while the authorities make bullets and bombs their first and only resort. And in the end, there’s no practical solution but to get out of the way while the old enemies duke it out— even if getting out of the way means accepting the risk of becoming collateral casualties in the fight. Oh— and along the way, the expected smashing of famous skyscrapers comes packaged with whole squadrons of airplanes falling out of the sky and exploding on impact against the crumbling concrete towers. Did Edwards and Borenstein deliberately set out to render thirteen years’ worth of military, diplomatic, and foreign-policy fiasco in the Middle East as ''kaiju eiga''? I don’t know. But I do know that the atom bomb is yesterday’s nightmare, and that each era tends to get the monsters it needs in turn.

* Sugarwiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: This film features ''far'' more convincing digital effects than the 1998 film, the moment Godzilla shows up in all his glory being the most poignant of the awesome.

This spread ''even to professional movie critics.''

** When Godzilla's design was revealed, it was noted that he has gills on his neck, and fans didn't like the idea initially. The original film and Showa series' Godzilla actually had gills at the base of his neck, which explained away how he could breath underwater which is also an out of universe explanation for the holes to allow the suit actors see when performing as the monster).

*** What's more, the idea of Godzilla not being heavily mutated goes all the way back to the original 1954 film. It was in the popular [[Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah Heisei Saga]] where the origin of Godzilla being a normal dinosaur which was heavily mutated and irradiated came from. In the [=1950s=] to [=1970s=] Showa era, it was implied the atomic bombing only irradiated an already-gigantic kaiju rather than changed their size and shape all that much.

First of, don't redirect to other parts of the page. Second, I'm pretty sure the visual effects team wanted Godzilla to have a noble, majestic appearance, like that of an eagle.

** The biggest reason why [[Film/Godzilla1998 the last American adaptation of the franchise]] was despised by fans and Toho alike was that it took too many liberties with Godzilla’s known abilities and appearance by having the creature itself be an irradiated iguana as opposed to a dinosaur, lacks his famous atomic breath and [[AdaptationalWimp has it die by mere missiles]]. Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. and Director Gareth Edwards make it clear that this version is true to the classic movies, as his appearance is much closer to that of the Japanese movies, and retains his invincibility and atomic breath.
** [[Film/GodzillaFinalWars The last Godzilla film made before this one]] caught heat from a sizable portion of the fanbase who felt it focused too much on high octane action that the human drama felt noticeably weak. This film gives the human story more weight to it and shows the destruction the monsters are causing and how it's affecting the world at large. [[CriticalDissonance Unfortunately, while this did earn the new movie praise by many critics, movie goers and fans alike are more divisive on the matter]].
** For a while, the home video releases had a [[DigitalDestruction poor transfer]] that made the film much darker than it's supposed to be. The 4K Blu-ray release rectifies this issue, making the visuals almost identical to the theatrical release.
