I love a good Godzilla movie. They are corny and it often reminds me of a Power Rangers episode but I love them anyway. This movie is pure fun and does not disappoint for a mindless monster movie. If you are looking for an in-depth discussion of life, you have the wrong movie.
You get just about every monster that Godzilla has fought in the past and it also includes the American Godzilla (the imitator as the call him). Mothra is the only monster on his side. You also get mutants that are trained to fight the monsters in flying ships with a giant drill on the front. Then you get the Alien twist. Ok, it is not really a twist because, well it is not well written but it is Godzilla.
This is the 50th anniversary Godzilla movie, which lends even more to the fun. The monsters are all over the world and not just in poor Tokyo but don't worry, we get to see the destruction of Tokyo once again. The Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, and the Sydney Opera House all get to have monster attacks.
What I did not like: Godzilla only shows up in quick flashbacks in the first half of the movie. They are developing the plot of the mutants and aliens. We do get some cool monster action
but not really good Godzilla footage until we are half way through this 2-hour movie.
Over Grade: C+ unless you are in a Godzilla monster movie mood then I give it an A-. It is worth seeing for any Godzilla fan.
