(I feel for ya big guy)


Not even sure where to begin, I didn't like the film but I didn't hate it either, so that is where I will begin. This was definitely in the tone of the original Gojira and for that it gets my respect, the whole thing felt like a social commentary with Godzilla being the catalyst for change in the way policy is handled and bringing to light some United States/Japan foreign relation issues. The unfortunate thing is Hideaki Anno has some solid ground work but falls short(shades of Evangelion). The randomly mutating Godzilla is something new and by no means the worst Godzilla to grace the screen and the Prime Minister's endless cabinet meetings to discus the implementation of new policy to deal with this while missing opportunities to deal the situation when it is more manageable was brilliant, political back channeling to get the time needed to finish the plan inspired, but for some reason the whole thing just seemed average to me but lets face it, humans are weak animals.
