When I was a wee lad I saw a number of Godzilla movies from the 1950's, including the one with an embarrassed Raymond Burr (the first?!) on TV and while even then I showed signs of being into science fiction, I was never into this. It never scared me, it sometimes seemed just silly and I was never a fan. I did like to watch it wrecking things though. Now that I am older, they make much better, technically, Godzilla movies nowadays now that he has made a comeback for some reason. Every Godzilla movie made today looks better, but I still think they aren't all that good or interesting, but this is the best one yet to me. The acting is mostly mediocre and most of the film is story over effects, but sometimes less is more and this is the most exciting Godzilla movie I've ever seen. The special effects are good, especially considering the low budget, though some of the writing is ridiculous. How do they know how much this thing weighs?! Having said all of this, it's kind of silly to critique something that has always been silly, sometimes it seems purposely so. Looking at reviews here, it seems Godzilla has lots of fans. Enjoy. By the ending, there is more to come. Hopefully, it or they will continue to be better than the over bloated American ones.
