Great! Another battle scene with monsters... Meanwhile, waiting for Godzilla VS King Kong aired on next year 2020!
Hello Godzilla Fans.
I see no one has seen the Movie or why is here no commentary about this movie ?
And ? Who likes it ?
A little bright spot was the dedication to
Haruo Nakajima
and
Yoshimitsu Banno.

Don't know about the rest of the UK but the film received zero advertising here in Scotland which is unusual for a major film. It also preformed so badly in the cinemas with viewers that they stopped showing it after a few weeks. Most films are shown here for about 4 to 6 weeks. Not seen it myself will check it out in the future.Hello Godzilla Fans.

Thank you.
Why can not Americans just leave it ?
They just are not capable of it...
Their Movies have no Gojira Soul,no Spirit.....
They KILL Godzilla.....again.

For reasons unknown I persist in watching silly films. I never saw the earlier one so I was essentially going in cold, however if I was going to treat it as some kind of "in medias res" then at least did something there without something I will note as too obvious of a flashback.
Anyway this.
As a Godzilla film. No. I might even take the first American effort over this.
As a piece of coherent storytelling. No. Everything from the quasi/para military forces doing stupid things (would be OK if they were just a team or something but they had full on plane squadrons with tech alone that would make them a world power, this despite them apparently successfully resisting the US government's attempts to stick their beak in and probably spies to boot), the laws of physics as it pertains to humans being... basically non existent, if we are continuing with fancy Latin phrases then deus ex machina was basically the order of the day (even the Michael Bay transformers showed more restraint here), not the absolute bluntest exposition I have ever seen but by no means good, the power levels of the "titans" being all over the map and the only peril there being what the characters tell you it is as you have no understanding, said titan abilities also being woefully under used or under explored, the guy might have joked about setting up a boat tour but this was something of a world tour. They killed off enough of the cast surprisingly quickly which was amusing for this sort of thing -- you get the occasional drawn out heroic sacrifice (which you did here too, technically twice) or redemption arc (also present) but several were randomly snuffed out too... I mainly note it for if you are going to break from formula in that regard you can surely do more.
However as a spectacle of sorts. OK. I once saw a film review wherein a person said their friend that went with them popped in a set of headphones and treated the visuals as an accompaniment to a metal album and had a blast for what was otherwise a fairly tepid film. This is not that (though if someone wants to make a fan edit then it might be possible -- one thing I might note is they clearly did not care about "give the impression of a monster" as we saw several shots in all their glory but I do wonder if they had a limited CGI budget as shots were themselves limited in number, that or they spunked it on military hardware.) but I will grant it the description of rather entertaining light show, even if the ending montage was something I would normally expect to see in a comedy film. I did also find it amusing that Godzilla got its own entrance music/chant, but at the same time that remix of Blue Oyster Cult did little (while none will replace it in my collection any time soon pick any "unexpected" remix of some classic rock song made for a film in recent times and it will beat that hands down, not to mention there have been several great remixes of that song). Typing this I thought I would bring up a copy of the music playing at various points in this... OK orchestral/borderland operatic stuff I guess but drowned out in the mix otherwise. Mind you I would not call the CGI as anything other than top budget but pedestrian.
There was clearly some talent involved in this one (though Charles Dance was somewhat wasted) but it did not come together into something that notable for me. I am not even sure what I would chop here as it would be utterly unrecognisable if it was going to be done. Back to the "can surely do more" thing then I would openly wonder if someone skimmed an article titled "beginner's guide to subverting expectations in film" and went from there, or perhaps they saw a film which subverted their expectations and copied that.
To watch it. Even at 1.5 speed I found it slow and as such if it is a rainy day and it is the only DVD you have not watched then there are worse choices. "Silly FAST6191 DVD are for old people and we all have streaming services"... you think I don't know that?

So the evil lady trying the redemption thing decides to take the recently fixed (microelectronics aplenty, but still fixed by jumping some wires in the rain) maguffin to "buy some time". Available to her is a humvee and an osprey (combined helicopter-plane thing). Seen as they are ground zero for a several monsters battle and also a city that was just hastily evacuated...). Sure she is trying to save her daughter who was also there and otherwise doomed but eh. That said she was lucky and there was indeed a nice clear path through it all to barrel down for a while.
Back on the monster powers Rhodan was shown as catching up to a very swish fighter jet seemingly attempting to outrun it before shredding it with claws. Fair enough but if you are that fast, that hard and that big then that alone is a serious ability that would have changed the game at any number of other points.
Also that "oxygen bomb" that takes Godzilla out of the fight for a while could have been useful.
I would query what said maguffin was the single only one with one person that knew about it, and not at least the schematics stored elsewhere.
