Likes : Let me just say that everyone complains about c.g.i being in a film but this film will change your mind, the special effect, the C.G.I of this film blow me away, this is one of the most fantastic film's ive seen in a long time, although some of it is slightly flawed this film is awesome.
The direction of this film is perfect it doesn't just start off with an all out monster fight, it build's the film up to one massive monster fight, but it doesn't just focus on the monsters it also focus's on the human in the middle of the cross fire.
Who every design the features & look of Godzilla i would shake their hand because they made one of the best looking bad ass Godzilla looks ever it was like looking at a pit-bull on steroid big on a massive scale which gave Godzilla this mean looking don't mess with alpha monster, i love that they gave him a personality which i did notice because in curtain scene he seem to avoid killing an humans as he came in which was so odd because at first you don't really notice it but you start seeing that he not there to kill human but there to kill the creature's.
This is nothing like what has been done before because this seriously pay homage to the original Godzilla film's  not the failed attempted 1998 version of Godzilla, but this has one special surprise which i loved the fact they introduced in this film which really show's homage to the original films was brilliant done in this film.
Bryan Cranston's acting in particular is fantastic in this film really sell the emotional scene although (Spoiler Alert) he not in this film long, he part was brilliant to give the film its build up which was also emotional & intense at some point, The monsters? The visual effects? The story? are all Spot on.
This is truly the monster Godzilla film we have been waiting for all the fan of the original film we be surprised just how close to the original versions this film is the director who is a small time director has made a massive gem of a film that fans have been long for, the creature design is awesome in way they are parasite type creatures where the female is bigger & male are smaller but the fight scene with these creature with Godzilla is just beyond awesome this is a big must to see at the cinema.


Dislikes : (Spoiler alert) One thing that was annoying that was disappointing its the lack of fight scene's, about two maybe three fight scene just as it get in to a fight it cuts to other scene just as your about to get in to the fight, but the film does redeem that at the end because it was an awesome fight scene.

Overall : Finally a Godzilla film that pay homage to the original film, best monster fights & visual effects.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for story / Godzilla fights.
