229. Godzilla (2014)

May 16, 2014

I liked the new Godzilla. We saw it at the drive-in, and there really isn't a better way to see a Godzilla movie. For CGI monsters, the effects were pretty good. It started with a mysterious explosion in Japan 15 years ago that devastated a small community and sent scientist Bryan Cranston into a frenzy to figure out what happened. Cut to the present and the signs were there that it was going to happen again. Cranston's son, Aaron Taylor-Johnson had to go to Japan to get Cranston out of jail for trespassing on government property and the two of them started working together to figure out what was going on. It was about this point when the movie became a monster movie and two giant monsters showed up. Then Godzilla showed up as well and the monsters started fighting and it was awesome. Ken Watanabe played an oddly intuitive scientist that for no explained reason seemed to know what the monsters were doing any why. I thought it was a lot of fun though. Much better than the 1998 Godzilla, which wasn't hard to beat.
