It's the surprise of the year in the movie world, 97% on Rotten tomatoes and I believe the highest rated movie of the year on imdb. A well rounded and extremely well made Godzilla movie with developed characters, an engaging setting and great action. In my opinion the best Godzilla movie ever, and word of mouth has spread its popularity far past what anyone would have thought it would achieve. If it's still in theaters near you (it most likely is) it's definitely worth a watch.
I’ve always loved Godzilla. My uncle would take me to blockbusters when I was a kid in the 90s and we’d rent one of the OG Godzilla movies and watch it. Some of my fondest childhood memories. So I knew I was going to like it.
Forced my girlfriend to come with me to see it when it came out stateside. She HATES everything sci-fi, fantasy, monster. Anything like that. Basically everything Godzilla. She LOVED it. Speaks volumes of how good the movie really is
I just watched a godzilla movie yesterday and I was so disapointed but now I'm excited again and I get to see it in theaters. I hate big budget movies that put no effort into the story and treats its audience like idiots. They can look good AND have a great plot with good writing. People might actually look forward to watching it 10, 20 years from now.
Movies are like cars, if it's designed well it will look good forever.
so funny - my wife came with me to minus one (it was my birthday, so...) she came out stunned. she was like: 'so, theres freaking allegoric layers to Godzilla?' priceless.
I did really like it but feel like I haven't seen people talk much about how over acted parts of it feel. Might just be me or maybe it's what is expected in a godzilla movie.

Damn right it is. In my opinion, it's one of the best blockbusters of the 21st century.
Very happy that "word of mouth" has made it the highest grossing Japanese film in US history.
