Godzilla - In Search of Godzilla - Spoilers

By Ken Parker


One of my co-writers on this blog wrote a nice little review that told me ahead of time whether I would like this film or not.  I don't think we have agreed on a movie ever and since he liked it I figured I would hate it. Truthfully I stayed away from any review including this one but was not surprised by his reactions to the movie.  I, on the other hand, claimed early on that Godzilla was the film of the year for me and it was the one I was looking forward to the most.  A friend who saw it Friday had some issues with the lack of Godzilla in the film and I was fine with this because I did not want to see wall to wall Godzilla. I wanted to see human characters and their interaction with this walking disaster called Godzilla. I knew this would not be as fun of a film as Pacific Rim and since my co-writer, Harvey the Pooka, hates fun films, that would certainly be in Godzilla's favor.

'Godzilla' review: Return of The King

Ready for his closeup.
This is how you make a monster movie.

The new "Godzilla" is a throwback - and in more ways than one. Just like a onetime popular movie star who resurrects a career, the King of the Monsters makes a triumphant return in the new Gareth Edwards-directed flick. Together, they put all of the pretenders - are you listening, Michael Bay? Of course you're not. You've never heard of this blog - to shame. Not to mention the imagination-starved minds behind "Pacific Dumb."
