A reboot that stuck to what made Godzilla great in the first place.

Godzilla is a threat once again and not only that, he is represented in the style of putting the blame on ourselves. We are the cause for Godzilla and we are to pay.

As it stands, it's a good reboot for new audiences to enjoy, even if you have not seen the classic 1954 original which this movie is a new-branching sequel to.

Action is great and the bump in the budget is very noticeable. While Godzilla's size is dwarfed by the now-massive skyscrapers he is surrounded by in his concrete jungle; he gets a larger playground to wreak havoc in.

But our favourite titan isn't the only one who gets an updated look and new toys, the human element also adds more to the table. With new advanced technology, Godzilla won't be swatting planes away for the entire time. He has an actually competent opponent in that of the human side of things this time around.

As for the rest of the human stuff, it's okay. Again still haven't gotten around to fixing this issue yet, and they'd play it overly serious too much for the silly things it adds. Trying to recreate the feel of the horror of the original, but taking away from that when you add sci-fi goofiness.

Overall, a good attempt to bring back Toho's beloved kaiju to the masses after his well-deserved rest.

**7/10**
