Went to watch this movie with huge expectations, I've heard and read amazing reviews so I was expecting a lot.
It's an okay movie, I do find the review a bit bias and calling Hollywood movies bad based on this one is an exaggeration.
The plot is so overdone, in Japan and in the US. We have seen this story many many times. It was very predictable and very slow. I found myself a bit bored and wanting for it to end.
There were multiple things I like, the characters are likable, there is a good post war feeling between people caring for each other. The characters were one of the things I liked. I like that they didn't need to call anyone to defeat Godzilla, that was nice.
My main issue was the editing and plot. I feel if it was cut properly it could have been and hour and half movie instead of a two hours dreadful movie. Also the logistics of the movie annoyed me, the war boats moving so fast, them connecting all the boats to the warship boats in seconds, the coincidence of the main character being in the train when Godzilla attacks, the main character casually finding the girl in the middle of a huge chaos? This is very 90s, if a movie has such a rating and such praise it needs to be better. The acting was also extremely dramatic. I constantly watch Japanese shows and movies and it's overdone but this was was insane.
Another issue for me was the CG, not the best Godzilla model I've seen, compared to the one in Kong vs Godzilla.
Overall I'm annoyed by the overhype, a movie rated this high should be better, it's rated there with parasite, fight club and game of thrones. Those are masterpieces, and I would say this is just not it.
