MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 1:02 PMThe small spoilers have been taken out for you guys by me(with the removed tag), thanks to Alien3 from the AVP forum for providing his review. If you want the minor spoilers please go here for the source:http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=12157.13410
Otherwise, here it is with the mini-spoilers removed:
first 3 points removed from review
Anyway you're probably wondering what I thought.
This film was f--king monumentally awesome! I wanted to write a bad review just to piss off Aspie but I can't. First things first the serious tone of this movie works incredibly well. It's not so serious that you can't have fun, the fun is all with GODZILLA. They nailed his character. He's intelligent, badass and above all scary. He's terrifying and yet you're on his side to kick the MUTOs arse. He's massive, and his ridiculous size is totally believable: every step, every roar, every movement carries so much weight. His roar is sooo loud, I was watching this in a screen with a Dolby sound system and it shook the room, literally. if this doesn't win an Oscar for sound design I'll be surprised! It was like the first time you heard Jurassic Park. I could cream more over how amazingly well they nailed the G but I think that sums it up. They nailed Godzilla. Oh and his removed
The MUTOs were fantastic. I don't want to give too much away but they surprised me by being so removed You'll have to see it for yourselves.
All the human characters were great, Aaron Taylor Johnson's character Brody was my favourite and Bryan Cranston steals the opening 30 minutes. But his character does pass the batten onto Brody who goes through a lot of shit but it's all executed perfectly. Not one character was boring or a drag to the films pace, which was fine, it didn't feel too long or too short, just right.
There were a couple of things I didn't like just to balance this review a little 1) No Godzilla theme but the music was so awesome anyway I didn't miss it too much. Just once would have been nice. 2) A lengthy daytime battle. 3) More Godzilla!
However don't get worried by those last two points there's a lot of other stuff and plenty of fantastic stuff going down with what we have that as a Godzilla fan I was satisfied greatly!
This felt a lot like a Godzilla film from the Heisei era with all the weight of the original. It's ridiculously well made and I can't wait to see it again, and again, and again. I'm so glad I didn't watch the trailers because I was in awe from start to finish."

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 1:51 PMIt sounds great,but the tab "more godzilla" gets me worried a little. I hope we get a lot of godzilla. He makes it sound like their are not that many scenes with godzilla. I hope he is just saying that to be funny?

He sounds very, very satisfied and even surprised so I wouldn't worry about Godzilla's screentime. It's probably a good balance between Godzilla and the characters. Remember, the original film was 98 minutes and only 17 minutes featured Godzilla. It didn't take away from how good the movie is. More Godzilla does not equal a better movie.

i totally agree with what you just said, it doesn't have to feature full non-stop kaiju madness for it to be a good film, not only the original godzilla 1954 film, but also the 84/85 movie as well. :)

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 2:08 PMI didn't read too much of the review. Happy to hear you loved it. My wife, My sons, and their pregnant wives are going with me on the 16th to see it.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 2:22 PMThe only thing I'm disappointed about based on his review is that the Godzilla theme isn't in the film. I also would have liked to hear it over the end credits at the very least. But hey, I still felt Michiru Oshima's soundtracks were really good on their own despite the lack of the Godzilla theme, and if the rest of the film is amazing as a whole, then I probably won't mind so much when I actually watch it.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 3:32 PMAccording to this reviewer the "Atomic Breath" is "Violent" and portrayed in a manner we have never seen before. Color me intrigued.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-30-2014 8:22 PMGiven the poster has approx 3000 posts, and some users know him,
it seems legit. It is true, that he could be pulling the legs of everyone, but I lean toward
him telling the truth and is reporting on what happened. The way he discussed the movie also sounds legit.
