Godzilla

I took off the nostalgia glasses, and despite my Pop Pop showing me this when I was really young and me liking it then, I can’t really fully like this film. Since I started this Kaiju marathon in December, I knew I was gonna have to break little me’s heart and watch this one again. And man does it hurt. The fun factor is there. Lots of fun setpieces, great destruction, the human characters are pretty fun, and it’s reason for “Godzilla” coming to New York is somewhat interesting. It’s not incredible, but it has the ingredients for a fun time. It’s got one big problem though. The Godzilla design. This is not Godzilla. This is a dinosaur design in a movie called Godzilla. It brings the whole movie down.  It just sucks how much the design of Godzilla sinks this movie. It could’ve been a good time.
