This weekend I was at a basketball tournament and I was a lot bigger than most of the players there. While I was there somebody called me Godzilla. Naturally that made me want to see the new Godzilla movie. On Saturday we had the night off and my team and I went to see the movie. You would think that this movie would be full of monsters and action throughout the whole film, but that is not the case. Although you see the monsters, there is no fighting until near the end. There is also a love story incorporated into this film. The main character's name is Ford and is played by Aaron Taylor Johnson. He has a wife and a kid, and he is also a marine. Him being a marine symbolizes how he is not there that often. When the monsters were discovered he had to go and fight again. the rest of the movie is him trying to get to his family while saving the world at the same time.
A key scene in this movie is when Godzilla and Ford make eye contact. Ford had just destroyed the egg sack of Godzilla's enemies while Godzilla was fighting them. Godzilla got knocked down and Ford was right in his line of sight. you could see it in Ford's eyes that he was saying "get up, get up" to Godzilla. He also realized Godzilla isn't there to hurt people. he is there to save his city. After about 20 seconds of Godzilla and Ford staring at each other Godzilla gets the power to get up and beat his enemies. This is when the action really starts to kick up. there is about 20 minutes of fighting after this and it is very suspenseful.
Overall, I found this movie very entertaining and would recommend this movie to anyone. The only downfall of this movie is that they completely modernized it and didn't really follow the plot lines of the past Godzilla movies. Other than that I still really enjoyed watching this film and recommend it to everybody.
That is an interesting way to decide to go see a film. But its unfortunate that they modernized the movie.
