I remember seeing the first American Godzilla back in 1998 and I was a disappointed 12 year old. I've grown to like Zilla Jr. and admit some shots in the film were pretty good but all in all I don't call it a Godzilla movie. In 2014 I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed Gareth Edward's take on Godzilla. The character were not the greatest aside from Cranston but I certainly didn't hate them. I appreciated that they saved the big fight for the end. However not everyone quite loved that. With this I easily say that those that were turned away by the lack of action should give this movie a chance. Within the first thirty minutes you get a monster fight and see three of Godzilla's co-stars on the Hollywood screen has been so worth the wait. I am still very suitmation and smashing models but these two American films made me realize that CGI does some things that a suit cannot. I must say this might be my favorite rendition of Ghidorah in which for the first time we see each head has a personality and sometimes the bicker. Rodan reminds me of Starscream and Mothra is both gentle but still fearsome. I'd say both Godzilla 2014 and Godzilla King of the Monsters are dreams come true for me. Shin Godzilla was very much also a treat and I enjoy side by side Godzilla movies that are disaster flicks, social commentary or straight monster fight films. What a time to be a Godzilla fan!
