The story takes place today, while strange seismic and nuclear incidents occur, particularly in the United States and Japan. Humans then discovered that there are millions of years, giant creatures, the mutos, fed themselves of radiations produced by the core of the earth. But two of these creatures come back on the earth, to absorb nuclear power and destroy humanity. No weapon can stop the giant creatures that cause havoc in cities. But a Japanese scientist announces that there is a way to stop them: another monster, Godzilla, who emerges from the depths of the ocean to confront the mutos, to destroy them and restore balance on the earth.
A good idea was to put Godzilla against other giant creatures, to see titanic battles. And another good point: this time, Godzilla is on our side, not against us. The King of the Monsters is somehow the protector of the earth, and it protects against other threats. Unfortunately, the militaries are really stupid, and want to kill Godzilla, while it only wants to protect us. The film shows once again how can the human be willing to do anything to destroy what scares him, even when the thing in question is not hostile towards him. Fortunately, Godzilla is like the mutos and remains insensitive to human weapons. It seems that Godzilla is the only creature capable of killing the mutos.
The final battle between Godzilla and the two mutos is simply superb. We are witnessing the clash of titans expected since the beginning of the film. At first, Godzilla manages to repel them, but the mutos attack together and Godzilla is push down and injured by the two creatures. When we see Godzilla roaring and trying to get up, while the two mutos bite it, claw it and hits it, one can not help but encourage Godzilla mentally, and tell him by thoughts "Go Godzilla! Shows them that you are the King of the Monsters!"
After a difficult and brutal fight, Godzilla manages to defeat the two creatures, but injured, he collapses on the floor. At first I was afraid that he died of his wounds, having just defeated his enemies. But fortunately, at the end, Godzilla awakens and rises triumphantly and people cheer the monster, as their hero.
But there is also a little disappointed in the film:
The film is called "Godzilla" but the monster appears the first time after 50 minutes of film, after almost half of the film. This is ridiculous. Godzilla appears only in a maximum of four scenes, and even in the early scenes, it appears only a few seconds. The film is still based on the humans, a military father, who wants to find his wife and son, scientists who want to help Godzilla, and soldiers who want to do everything explode. One would almost think this film is centered on the humans, and that Godzilla has only a secondary role in his own film.
I have nothing against the actors, they have done their roles, but when a movie is based on Godzilla, normally it is he who should appear the most and be the top of the pedestal. But there, it's almost like the writers wanted that the human hero steals the show at the King of the Monsters.
But fortunately, the film ends with Godzilla, which roars towards the sky, victorious and alive, then it goes back into the depths of the ocean after completing its mission,
Finally, Godzilla is a good movie, I'm very glad I saw, but I was just a little disappointed with the lack of apparition of the monster. I wanted to see more scenes with Godzilla, or fight scenes, and less scenes with humans, some were not necessary, from my point of view.
Godzilla is the REAL star of the movie.
