Godzilla-"The King of Monsters", is back on the job in this new 2014 version. Patterned after the classic Godzilla movies, this was an intense, edge of your seat popcorn movie. Simply an entertaining, take you back to your youth fun movie!
Chaos and mayhem ensue as a giant explosion occurs, dramatically changing the lives of Nuclear Engineer, Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) and his son Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Losing his wife and young Ford's mother, Joe Brody is determined to find the cause of this catastrophic event.
This story takes place in the Philippines, Japan, Honolulu, Las Vegas and ultimately, San Francisco.
The scenes were a lot like the old Godzilla movies but vamped up with our modern day super special-effects and computer generated technology.
The special effects were really good and you really felt like you were right there in the middle of the action.
The enemies to be thwarted off by Godzilla in this movie were the "MUTOS" aka: massive unidentified terrestrial organisms. They were ruthless and extremely destructive. There were two of them, both a male and a female, and they were on a mission. They were determined to feast on radiation for their survival and to mate with each other. Ford Brody is the hero and star of this story and he does it well.
I really enjoyed this movie, it took me back to the former Godzilla movies I remember in my past.
It was very intense and realistic. The scene on the Golden Gate Bridge was spine-tingling and will make you think twice when you cross the bridge again!
Parents be advised: I would recommend this movie for children ages 10 and up. I am being a little more lenient because it is monster fighting action and I think children really love that stuff.
I am giving "Godzilla" three bags of popcorn.
