Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla is the 2014 remake (reboot?) of the original. If you like monster movies (and I do), you'll like this.

trailer:



Roger Ebert's site gives it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars and says,
"Godzilla" represents some sort of high water mark (pun intended) in Hollywood's nearly forty year crusade to turn once-disreputable genre films into pop art that demands our contemplation, if only because of the wit and skill that its army of technicians lavished on each frame.
Empire Online says, "Edwards’ film boasts great filmmaking, noble intentions and cracking monster action." EW has a round up of mostly positive reviews. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 74%.

  1. Wow. I haven´t even heard of a Godzilla remake since the one with Matthew Broderick, which wasn´t very good, was it? This looks pretty scary, probably because they don´t show the monster. Juliette Binoche, too. Need to find this...

    1. No, that one was definitely a disappointment. This one is fun, but I'm still partial to the original.

  2. I never saw the original Godzilla, but this looks interesting. Godzilla returns to exact more revenge on the world sounds perfect.

    1. We like the old monster movies like Godzilla and King Kong. Remakes are sometimes horrible, but this one's good.
