Godzilla

2014

Directed by Gareth Edwards

The world ends, Godzilla begins.

Ford Brody, a Navy bomb expert, has just reunited with his family in San Francisco when he is forced to go to Japan to help his estranged father, Joe. Soon, both men are swept up in an escalating crisis when an ancient alpha predator arises from the sea to combat malevolent adversaries that threaten the survival of humanity. The creatures leave colossal destruction in their wake, as they make their way toward their final battleground: San Francisco.

Review by davidehrlich ★★★★½ 22

GODZILLA is the TRUTH.
one of the most satisfying, well-paced & beautifully directed blockbusters since Jurassic Park. a genuine spectacle of humility. Many complaining that the film abandons interest in its characters, but the perils of human egocentrism in the face of global crisis = the entire point. genuinely registers as the first post-human blockbuster. i almost feel like people have been conditioned to the explosive banality of contemporary tentpoles... but if any $200 million monster movie is going to feel like a throwback, this is as fitting a choice as any.
in terms of scale & sophistication, PACIFIC RIM is to GODZILLA as Ralph Bakshi's LORD OF THE RINGS is to Peter Jackson's LORD OF THE RINGS. at a certain point…

Imagine having 10 minutes of screen time in your own movie
Review by Matt Singer ★★½ 22

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This is just the kind of GODZILLA movie I want; it looks great, the monster action is awesome, the mythology is clever, and it doesn't shy away from the metaphorical aspects of the character. But Gareth Edwards' execution, which is actually kind of similar to his overrated indie MONSTERS, spends way too much time on the human characters without actually developing any of them into three-dimensional people. The most interesting guy in the movie gets written out after the first 20 minutes and the rest of the time we're stuck following Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who has more names than facial expressions.
He plays a Navy bomb disposal expert with unbelievably bad luck, who randomly wanders his way into one kaiju battle…
Review by SilentDawn ★★★★★ 27

93/100
A world of insignificance swirling within fog and dust. Ants against gods. Destruction giving way to tranquility. Loss seen through an empty passageway and a singular window pulsing with red beams of light. Godzilla depicts a tableaux of ash and roars, screams and cries of torment, but its humanity remains delicate. Gareth Edwards follows various people and the chaos eating up their little lives, showcasing their desperate attempts to keep their bonds intact and their children safe. The stakes may not be real to Gojira and his MUTO opponents (a family of their own), but he recognizes us as modern gatekeepers; a tattered species dealing with issues of importance based in our own scale. Edwards' approach to the drama…

Once Cranston dies, I want to die, until I see finally see Godzilla’s foot.

This is the best of the monster verse movies and I stand by that
Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★★ 6

Still stand by my original video essay on how this formally explores human insignificance (wow, just realized how long I've been doing this for, Christ) but was once again blown away by the human-scaled patience and simplicity of Edwards' camera compositions and movements. The moody images and build-up/release are perfectly calibrated and there are so many great uses of the Spielberg Oner, all of which combined gradually invite you into the portent nature anxieties and accentuate the already pretty unbelievable VFX work. (Crazy what hiring people who know the strengths/weaknesses of CGI and letting them economically manage the location shooting accordingly can do for a movie.) Only American Godzilla movie that's genuinely interested in leaning towards the anthropological and melancholy in the same way the original film did, while also featuring rock solid monster/disaster blockbuster setpieces worthy of a Jurassic Park or War of the Worlds movie.

A touching love story between two giant insect monsters.
Review by Mario ❄️☃️🎄 ★★★½ 14

Seeing Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a (married?) couple feels just wrong after watching Age of Ultron.

Review by George Clark ★★★★ 14

Answer me this. Who doesn't love watching a huge ancient lizard battle weird creatures for 2 hours? Exactly, no one!
Godzilla 2014 is brilliant! Despite an awful marketing campaign highlighting Bryan Cranston as the main character, a blatant lie to draw in more people off the back of his success in Breaking Bad, the movie actually turned out great. Aaron Taylor-Johnson has always been an actor I've enjoyed and, alongside Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen and Ken Watanabe, allows for the best characters we've thus far seen in the franchise as you genuinely care about them from a personal perspective, even if I do love the one-dimensional characters in Kong: Skull Island as well. Sure, the story isn’t perfect, and the…
