Took my daughter to see the new Godzilla this past weekend as part of a graduation celebration.

My expectations were pretty tempered, seeing as how the last Godzilla movie was a giant gecko or something, and was just... meh.

This one? So very well done.

It had its warts - the movie went out of the way to show animals and children escaping impossible situations (don't want people to feel bad), some plot points felt forced, the main character was pretty one dimensional, the darned monsters didn't get as much screen time as we all might have wanted - but when all was said and done, it was very entertaining and stuck very true to the source material. Heck, it made you care about the fate of Godzilla, which is a neat trick for a CGI dinomonster.

Can heartily recommend this as a summer popcorn flick.

Agreed. I'm thrilled that we're back to Godzilla VS -----

I think they pumped up a lot of Bryan Cranston in the trailers to use him too little in the movie, focusing on the boring main character storyline. This should be a movie about giant monsters, not footsoldiers.

Still, the bits of giant monster it does have... oh my.

Gojira!

I'm holding out for Mecha-Gojira.
