I can appreciate a take like David Ehrlich's but man does it feel like he brought a lot to that movie. Reminds me in some ways of the original style of Pitchfork or CokeMachineGlow album reviews where the story a writer was able to tell about the art was more interesting than the art itself. For me, the most authentically Godzilla bit of this movie was how bad anything without monsters involved was. At least it's full of gorgeous sights and sounds, even six years later. The jets falling out of the sky, the skydive and the train attack are legit fucking rad.


But then I gotta wish the movie had a less serious tone of they're going to give me all that crap, nothing dialogue for an hour and preface Godzilla facefucking the not-Mothra with Aaron Johnson pointing a pistol in its face. Why'd the movie wait two hours to have a sense of humor?!
