It's been ten years in the making, but the King of the Monsters has finally returned. Not only that, but Godzilla also makes his return to America.
The franchise has shaken off all of the bad blood from the 1998 Godillza film, and brushed off much of the camp that swarmed the rest of the Toho series. What we have here is a back to basics Godzilla film.
Don't expect a mindblowing, turn of events kind of film. This is a straight up monster movie. It's just done better than most. The movie follows mostly Aaron Taylor-Johnson's character Ford Brody. His father, played by Bryan Cranston, drags him into a conspiracy that only the Monarch Group know about. The existence of Godzilla. Once the monster and friends, rise, it's all out survival.
4/5 stars
