Went and saw 'Godzilla' and 'X-Men
ays Of Future Past' yesterday.
Gozilla was better.
=============================================
GODZILLA
=============================================
'Godzilla' was good. Not quite as good as I'd've hoped, but that's essentially all because Godzilla isn't in it NEARLY as much as I want him to be.
I want like 4x as much Godzilla. Too much human, needs more kaiju. Nonetheless, quite good. They got it all right as far as I'm concerned aside from the screen time balance between people and monsters.
I'm no Godzilla expert though. But my buddy is, and he seems to love it, so I can't be too far off base.
I recommend it. Good stuff. Cool stuff. The monster battle is pretty epic.
Godzilla is a badass.
An awesome badass.
FTR: Given that it is this movie's most direct contemporary comparison, I feel I should mention that Pacific Rim IS the better MUCH better movie, since it never fails to be all about the Jaegers and kaiju. It doesn't over-focus on humans in ways not relevant to monster fights.
But, as my friend said, while they're both about kaiju, they're still different types of movies....so...*shrug*
