Solemn. That's probably the best word to use to describe this movie. And although a bit of broodiness can often go a long way, given the right picture, Godzilla isn't perhaps the best movie to fall into this sort of mood; after all, a motion picture about a huge lizard knocking down skyscrapers and battling other equally gigantic monsters should convey a sense of fun... it should have you reeling with excitement, giddy to see what happens next. Sadly, Godzilla never really taps into those emotions; it's too sincere, too desperate to be taken serious for its own good. So what it could have used, really, is an added dosage of the fun factor; though parts of it are certainly enjoyable, coming out of the theatre it's all mostly forgotten. Granted, it's terrible, but even the awful 1998 version of Godzilla managed to have a bit of fun with the premise (though one could certainly argue it had too much fun). Finding such a balance in a movie of this nature is hard, of course, but Pacific Rim - which clings to any equally ridiculous plot - managed to create a sense of fun. With Edwards' flick, they fun times are simply few and far between. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.
