GODZILLA MOVIE REVIEW
by Tamera Lawrence
Friend or foe of man? That is the
question in the new 2014 GODZILLA movie and has been since the start of the
Gozilla’s film legacy that began in 1954 with the first original version of
Gozilla.
After laying dormant for many years, Gozilla
rises from the ocean’s depths to face down two menacing
creatures that are wreaking havoc and destruction on mankind as they feed upon
nuclear energy in alarming rates. The main battle takes place in Hawaii as the
trio clash in a battle that trashes and destroys anything in its wake. And the
US military is right there along the battle front to lend a hand as well as use
whatever means necessary to destroy all three creatures. No one seems quite
sure of Gozilla’s intentions, although it’s clearly hoped that Gozilla will
kill his adversaries.
Although a bit clumsy and seemingly
emotionless, Gozilla has one and only one motive – to kill the nuclear sucking
pair of creatures along with their unborn offspring and restore the earth to
its former balance. As a large reptilian
looking dinosaur with a lumbering gait, Gozilla cares little for the
destruction this battle inflicts on property or mankind, although there is one
point in the movie when he seemingly makes eye contact with a soldier bent on
the same mission – as if giving his approval to a team member.
Kids and adults can both enjoy this
newest Godzilla movie. This sea monster always manages to impress when he opens
up his mouth and bellows out his rage in a cry that clearly means he means
business. And I for one have been reminded of my childhood on a rainy Saturday
afternoon when I watched many of the old Gozilla movies at my parent’s home on
a small television set. But now I have to wonder if I watched Godzilla to see
the huge giant in action or just to have a laugh at the English words that
passed out of Japanese mouths in a funny disconnection.
Whatever the reason, I
was drawn to see this movie and connect with an old friend.
