Godzilla

 
I waited until Sunday to see this movie, which wasn't the best idea. By then, Facebook and Twitter had many opinions that made me skeptical of a movie. Everyone was saying, " Don't waste your money" or "You only see Godzilla twice." Obviously,  this made me concerned about going to see it, but I love movies so I went to watch it.
 
I'll break it down in a simple pro and con list:
 
Pros 
  • The story flow pretty well. We saw the beginning middle and end.
  • It tied into historical events very well. WW2 and the Cold War were portrayed very well.
  • Godzilla was a hero. He was a flawed hero, but a hero all the same.
  • Lovely story of man versus nature.  
Cons
  • The tragedy seemed a little forced. Throughout the movie the lost of important characters seemed a little much.
  • Destruction was at a level 11 out of 10. Building and people were lost like popped bubbles in the wind.  This kind of damage bothers me to my soul.

Last point.
Godzilla probably could have gotten more camera time, but I don't think it was necessary for the storyline.
