The King of the Monsters returns!
Shin Godzilla is a great return of the giant monster we all know and love. While it can be a little boring when the movie sticks to the humans for a while, that's kinda the standard for Godzilla movies. Overall, a good reboot from Toho. Personally, it's more fitting to watch it with English subtitles rather than watching the English Dub. Not that the Dub is bad, of course. It just seems better to watch the original voices, regardless if you have to read subtitles. It's worth the watch, really.

Interesting Reboot of Godzilla in Japan
Shin Godzilla is not a sequel, it is a reboot of the Japanese movie series. The characters in the movie are encountering the monster for the first time in this film. The movie starts very slow and seems to be a commentary on the older generation in Japan taking a long time to get anything done. The younger generation are the people that actually make progress in the fight against Godzilla. The action does pick up towards the end but this is definitely a slower movie overall. Some of the scenes are CG and don't look so great, but not terrible either. You just notice that the CG is CG and doesn't look real enough (good CG is supposed to be so good you don't even realize it is CG). Worth a watch if you are a fan of the long running movie series.

FANTASTIC
I absolutely adore this film... I know it's not for everyone though... Was very surprised my young kids highly enjoyed this... They actually liked the political inner workings aspect that the majority of the film had, they said it made it feel much more realistic... This movie also has what I feel is the best atomic breath scene of any Godzilla movie... Also, the soundtrack is perfect for the film...

A metaphor of God and that around us
This version of Godzilla is not a continuation of the original story that Toho started back in 1954. It is a retelling of the origin of Godzilla as the perfect life form basically as a god. Also evolving with whatever situation that is happening around. The movie is a huge metaphor of the Power Plant failure that happened and that of a politics. This a enjoyable movie to those that love Godzilla

Wow this was fantastic! Even when Godzilla unleashed atomic breath, music was based off him! So powerful! Great visuals! Great action! Loved it! I hope the eastern hemisphere continues with these great films! Audio and video are stunning!
