a5c7b9f00b An unknown accident occurs in Tokyo Bay's Aqua Line, which causes an emergency cabinet to assemble. All of the sudden, a giant creature immediately appears, destroying town after town with its landing reaching the capital. This mysterious giant monster is named "Godzilla". Nuclear waste and carlessness of man mutate a gilled creature in the Tokyo Bay. With social media capturing the footage, the emergency cabinet meets to find out what the creature is and if it will be a threat, but only to say that the creature is so massive it's weight would crush it if it came on land. They are proven wrong as the creature comes on land scaring the people of Tokyo and knocking over buildings. The cabinet sends a defence force to eliminate the monster but it evolves and starts overheating with radiation. This causes the monster to run back to the bay, leaving a risk of returning to the cabinet. Later it comes back in its next form and is now taller and indestructable. The cabinet gives it the name "Godzilla". The scenes with Godzilla; 10/10. Loved every minute with that lizard jack-ass, they were really entertaining, very well done, had great effects. I just loved it, so much. The scenes without Godzilla; 1/10….Do something, please. I'm so bored. This movie is WAY too long, and most of it is just some boring suits talking about how they're gonna kill Godzilla…Who considers that entertaining? Not me. Decent movie though, but still not worth your time. This is a very unique modern spin on the Godzilla mythology. While the previous 54" Godzilla dealt with the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Shin Godzilla tackles more of the political climate of Japanese bureaucracy and the response to natural disasters. <br/><br/>Let me makes this very clear. This is not an action-packed blockbuster like you would see from Hollywood. Shin Godzilla is 80% a political drama that spends most of its run time seeing how the Japanese government tries to handle the situation of Godzilla's arrival. And that leads to lots and lots of debates, conferences leading to other conferences and approvals before anything can actually. This makes the film socially relevant about the difficult political landscape in Japan but is a bit irritating in the first hour. The last half of the film is when the politics become actually critical by showing how Japan is hindered by international laws and the incapability of making a clear decision without taking hours in a conference to do something. It makes thing even more complicated when other countries get involved with either destroying or studying Godzilla.<br/><br/>The "characters" are very exaggerated even by the standards of your usual Godzilla movie. Sometimes characters go overblown with their expressions when new information is learned. There are even certain lines of dialogue that are irrelevant to the plot that come out of nowhere. One female character that is an ambassador for the US speaks English in certain scenes for no apparent reason. This overall made the movie unintentionally hilarious for me.<br/><br/>And of course comes Godzilla himself. I will admit when I first saw the design of the newest incarnation of Godzilla I was not happy. Looked too weird. But now after seeing the bizarre design as a whole in the entire movie, it actually worked. This Godzilla is presented not just as a mutant abomination but also as a perfect, ever evolving organism. His transformation from a giant clumsy eel-like creature to his iconic "god-like" form paints Godzilla in a new, more menacing light. Along a new array of abilities, this is probably the most terrifying and destructive incarnation of Godzilla I have seen. And when the destruction finally happens, I was not cheering with excitement as I expected to but filled with suspense and fear as Godzilla burns Tokyo with very little difficulty. If he actually existed the human race would be in serious trouble.<br/><br/>Is this the best Godzilla movie? No. The 1954 original will always be my favorite. Is it better then the 2014 American remake? It's hard to say. Both films are not perfect with very little Godzilla screen time and very thin, boring characters. While I can say Godzilla 2014 is maybe more entertaining, Shin Godzilla does a better job of nailing those political and socially relevant themes and feels very thought provoking. This is not the best film of the year but it if you are a huge Godzilla and kaiju fan then definitely give this film a shot. Despite the movie's darker tone, there's still room for humor when you have rooms full of diplomats and scientists discussing how to contend with a "giant unidentified creature."
