I was surprised by how good the movie "Godzilla -1" is.
Godzilla was no "misunderstood monster" in this one, it was a purely destructive force filled with fury.
The REAL story was with the human cast though, which is rare with Godzilla movies, and with the redemption arc of one character in particular.
Great story, great effects, raging monster... what's not to like?
It really raises the bar on what a kaiju movie can be.
I highly recommend this one!
