Godzilla (2014)

Just saw it on the theater (Premier) couple of hours back and will try hard to see it again on this weekend when it release 'officially' here.
**SPOILER ALERT**
After reading the HDC reviews, I'd like to agree with you all..and yes, even with FC to some extent. I'm not giving here another super-clinical review like FC delivered but yeah, he actually made some pretty valid points i.e. "MUTOs featuring Godzilla" & Jaws-Burger theory. The story did indeed centered more around on the MUTO monsters than the big G and though it deliberately tried to follow
JAWS steps regarding building the anticipation & but as a whole couldn't able to become as masterclass of modern celluloid art like the way
JAWS succeed & become such classic. They were excessively too conscious about showing off the King. And needless to say, the weak character development with a wrong choice of lead as well as on lead. It was frustrating to see Bryan Cranston's character's such early departure from the story, agree with FC..he should have take the lead on confronting the monsters or they should have give that lead to a more mature young actor as A.T-Johnson looked totally blunt throughout the film. Totally agree with metternich & Michael about the "3D" thing...yeah, CGI was top notch but it was kinda failed to provide any sort of "3D feel" at most of the part.
BUT...after of this drawbacks, still I can't say I didn't enjoy Gareth Edwards' GODZILLA. Probably my love for this monster & huge anticipation about this movie were the reasons but I must admit it did satisfied me on many level. Though at times looked kinda mechanical but MUTOs are now amazing new additions to the franchise, looking forward to see them more in coming sequels along side with other legendary friends & foes of Godzilla. And about Godzilla...all I can say is...HAIL TO THE KING! Loved & cherished each & every moment he appeared on the screen & even in the 'TV' news broadcasting sequence! Though GE's JAWS-theory of showing less & building the anticipation for the final pay-off at the end weren't up to the mark but still it kinda worked 'finely' overall & glad he at least put an effort for it which is appreciating from a new filmmaker these days. I'll definitely won't mind to spend excessively higher ticket price for Godzilla again to see more of his actions (with freaking astonishing atomic Breath!) in whatever the sequels they're going to make in the future.
Perhaps as I was so desperately waiting for a Godzilla movie & my excitement to see him once again after all these years was so on the top of my expectation level that I'm now happily ready to forgive & overlook all those negative aspects of this movie. So at the end, it was indeed a visually stunning & satisfying experience for me as a Godzilla fan.
