The Latest "Godzilla" Movie (Had enough yet?) has Garnered Fawned-Over-Praise with Every Positive-Affirming-Adjective Available in the English Language.
Note...The Movie was "Made-in-Japan", It was Filmed in the Native Language and the American Release is Choiced between Subtitles and Dubbed.
The Filmography of "King of the Monsters" is a Tweak-Fest of Multiple Directions with the Only Consistent...The Star...
A Huge Monster (Dinosaur/Lizard) Born of Radioactivity. The Remaining Single Story Could, and was, to Go Anywhere and Do Anything...It was a Stream-of-Consciousness Affair and Each Feature was a Grab-Bag of Godzilla's Saga.
There are so Many Movies in the Canon and Has Picked-Up Along the Way so Many Fans and Cultists (one wonders why), and Deep-Diving into the Legacy that is "Godzilla" is so Convoluted, Inconsistent, and Wacky, that Maintaining One's Sanity is Not a Given.
There are a Number of Styles, an Ongoing, Regular Release of "Godzilla Movies" that No One, No How, No Way could Accurately Chronicle the Saga Without Devoting a Life-Time to the Endeavor.
Suffice to Say, this Latest Movie has Gone "Origin" and is a Straight-Laced Story Re-Telling of the Gig-Guys Entrance Post WWII,
with More Emphasis on the Japanese Experience from an Interpersonal Perspective.
But if One is to be Objective, the Movie is a Mediocre Affair with a Simplistic Style and Story of what Came to Be...
An Unlikely Main-Stay of Cinema that has Lasted, with All its Awful, Near Awful, OK, Some-What Entertaining "B-Movie Icon that has Defied Cheesy Effects, Man-In-Suit Awkwardness, and Toy-Crusher Kid-Activities, to Become Another Not Always Welcome Entry in the Mad, Mad, World of Moviedom.
Your Reaction to this Latest Offering is Likely to be the Same Reaction You Probably Experienced Watching a Previous "Godzilla" Movie, although this One is Heart-Felt to the Extreme and as Serious as a Heart-Attack.
Overall, in the End, it's just Another in a Long-Line of a Movie-Monster-Star, that has Run Amok, Wearing a Plethora of Hats and is Satisfied with Somberly Telling the Tale that Started it All.
Worth a Watch
Note 2...The One-Sheet Movie Poster should get a "God-Awful" Award...the dullest, nondescript, banal, color-drained, non-entity Art-Work, an abomination void of anything...Could be the Worst Movie-Poster Art in the History of Movie-Poster Art.
