Go go Godzilla always have love the Godzilla shows always ready to watch another always very entertaining

Godzilla has been remade several time. I think they finally got it right. Great story line. Monsters look real. Like how a series of movie are following this one. I would recommend adding this to a library especially at this great price.

I remember being taken by surprise in 2010 with a small Mexican made film called “Monsters.” I loved the movie and here is the same director (Gareth Edwards) making only his second feature film. A big difference is a much larger budget and a cast of A-list actors. Godzilla movies go back, of course, to the original 1954 Japanese film (“Gojira) which was followed by a series of bad sequels including the 1998 Roland Emmerich flop. With the exception of Aaron Taylor-Johnson who plays Ford, the son of nuclear scientists, none of the actors really do much but stand around in awe or in the case of Ford’s dad (Bryan Cranston), rant excitedly. Sandra (Juliette Binoche), doesn’t stick around long. Ford’s wife Elle is played by Elizabeth Olsen but she is relegated to fits of worry about her hubby. Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins are the scientists who originally discover there are sleeping giants under the sea. Essentially, the film is a modern day reboot of the original in most respects. Earthquakes destroy a nuclear facility in Japan, but the fallout is mysteriously contained for 15 years. Then giant creatures are unearthed called MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms). Heck, I identified them. Remember Mothra? There are 2, one a male, can fly. The other one is larger and a female and she has an incubator full of babies ready to burst. Godzilla, who appears to be an island in the Pacific (seriously), arises from a deep slumber and is hungry for a MUTO sandwich. Dr. Serizawa’s (Watanabe) take on this whole event is to allow Godzilla to go after the MUTOs unencumbered. He has concluded that they are natural enemies. As they move toward the U. S. and their nuclear arsenal (which the monsters love to eat), the American military devise a plan to blow them all to smithereens with an H-Bomb. While there is a satisfactory lead up the big gunfight at high noon, the movie really gets rolling when the big boys go at each other. To be clear, these are some big scary monsters. These guys aren’t King Kong big or T-Rex big, they are skyscraper big. The idea of creating such large creatures is genius. They aren’t necessarily even evil. They are just big darn animals and they knock down stuff in their way, including towering buildings and bridges. The special effects here are noteworthy, the direction is first rate. A sequel should be in the works soon.

I bought this on sale for 4.99 and it came with the digital and DVD and Blu-ray so it was a win win for the price and I got it so I can watch it before the new one king of the monsters hands down the best American Godzilla movie ever made.

its a good movie and even better in 4 k a terrific action. movie

This Godzilla movie was the best one of all time, favorite scene was when the soldiers fall down from the clouds in the middle of the night with the red dust following behind them when the god appears below. EPIC!!

As much as I enjoyed Godzilla vs. Kong, this is still probably my favorite of the Monsterverse films. That's likely because of it's wait-and-see approach to the film, as well as its treatment of Godzilla as more of a true force of nature rather than a mythical creature. Your mileage may vary, although I haven't found many people who don't enjoy the major Zilla scenes even if they think there are too few of them. As for the A/V presentation, the picture is not perfect and glossy despite this being a fairly recent film. It's a very dark film and there is a bit of crush in certain very dark scenes. But overall, this is the best the film has looked on home video, particularly due to the terrific contrast. Brighter highlights look incredible against the surrounding darkness, and really made me remember how terrific constructed the visuals are in this movie. This 4K release does have an Atmos soundtrack, which is an improvement on an already impressive DTS-HD track from the blu-ray. I can honestly say I haven't heard many better Atmos tracks on a 4K disc before. On a final note: in my opinion, the cover for this is terrific compared to the numerous red motif covers of previous releases.

Special effects are amazing Godzilla fights for his life with two giant creatures great storyline. I had to order this Blu-ray disc and watch it before the new one comes out May 31 2019 Godzilla King of the monsters

My son and I watched this movie and thought it was a lot of fun! We liked the graphics and the story was good. I missed this when it came out in the theater. I picked it up for $5 and was worth the purchase.

Godzilla movies never disappoint, and the movie is a great quality.

Saw the sequel first, so needed to go back and see the first. Great film. Enjoyed the camera angles, which were unique and different to other films.

I like this movie. The only thing I don't like is that some of the night scenes are really dark. Have trouble seeing the actors and the monsters.

King of the monsters! Awesome movie and is a must watch if you want to be part of the Monster-verse (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong).

Glad I was able think it the 1st godzilla very happy the way they're going with the monster universe can't wait to he meets Kong highly recommend this movie the best "Reboot" FrFr!!

Bought the DVD for my mother-in-law. She LOVES the movie! Now she can watch it when and wherever she wants! The entire ordering and delivery process was outstanding! Thanks.

Godzilla was a great movie I enjoyed the movie I had to add it to my collection because I have every single one that's available can't wait for the original second one to come out

I've always enjoyed godzilla movies since I was a young child. I'm know in my 60s and I love being able to sit at home and relax and watch my favorite movies whenever I chose to.

Took me a while to get into this movie, but overall not too bad. After all, titan monsters trashing a city...what's not to like?

Much better than the previous Godzilla movie (2009). It took me back to when I was a kid watching the original black and white movie

This is good for old and new fans of Godzilla alike. Well casted, and interesting story with great action and special effects.
