Godzilla
SCORE: 66
We had a reader request come in for Godzilla. The 2014 reboot of the
franchise. I liked the 1998 movie a bit better personally. Maybe we will
get around to purchasing that one and reviewing it at some point. I am
thankful Family Friendly Gaming had enough money to purchase Godzilla on
Black Friday. Months later we are finally getting around to watching
this movie. This is an odd Godzilla movie since it has more time with
the humans.
The bad content in Godzilla is the religious teachings of evolution,
death, bad language, violence, blood, and massive destruction. Godzilla
also teaches nuclear power is bad. I am thankful for how clean and safe
nuclear power is personally. I also found it odd the military was messed
up by EMP pulses. I am a disabled war veteran and remember all of our
equipment we used in the Air Force was protected from EMP pulses.
Another Holly Weird mistake?
I have to give some spoilers from this point on. If you have not seen
the movie, and want to avoid any spoilers, then please stop reading this
review right now. Hey I warned you. There are two Mothra monsters in
Godzilla. They are trying to get together, breed, and repopulate the
planet. Which would of course be the extinction of the human race.
Godzilla hunts them, and eventually kills them thanks to some blue fire
breath.
The main characters are very interesting in Godzilla. I also appreciate
the concept of transitioning back into civilian life after being
deployed is a hard thing. Godzilla also references the monster as a
false god. Godzilla is the character that saves humanity from the other
monsters. Although I doubt he cares about us much since he also causes
plenty of destruction. I am not fond of the model they made for Godzilla
in this movie.
There is an entire DVD of special features in the two disc set Family
Friendly Gaming purchased. Godzilla Force of Nature, Operation Lucky
Dragon, Monarch The M.U.T.O. Files The Godzilla Revelation, and more are
some of the bonus features on Godzilla. Sadly Godzilla was not very
memorable. It did not have the character depth of the 1998 reboot. The
whole government cover up helps viewers distrust government. This movie
reminds me of that Battleship movie.
