If you are an ardent fan of Godzilla, you wouldn’t mind dropping everything to see him roar and annihilate his foes.

Viewers looking for wall-to-wall mayhem along the lines of Roland Emmerich’s bloated 1998 version will be disappointed. But those who savour an immersive visual spectacle will likely go ooh-aah in the presence of the freshly-minted Godzilla.

Director Gareth Edwards delivers a satisfactory reboot of the iconic monster movie!

Those who have seen previous avatars of this scaly beast will immediately reconnect with that sense of speechlessness and rapt awe they felt when they saw Godzilla in their childhood. Godzilla’s roar is not for the faint-hearted. This is a fantastic homage to monster movies of yore and is bound to go down as a modern classic. Go Godzilla!

Godzilla is a smashing summer blockbuster and it holds not qualms about playing up that card.

There is only so much you can do if you are going to make film like Godzilla and Edwards vision is as good as it can get.

As a Godzilla film, it gives you enough bangs for your bucks.

The battle scenes are terrific. The scale is massive, the CGI is super detailed and the Kaiju artwork is really fucking cool. The 3D isn’t the best, but the super wide shots are superbly choreographed to show how puny humans are, and you’ll get the best experience in 2D.

Giftwrapped in an emotional father-son and family bonding story that hooks you on the sensitivity graph, “Godzilla” doesn’t give anybody time to be endearing or sarcastic or human in any way. It is a conundrum of a techno-thriller and a fabled nightmare put together.

A film that is about Godzilla needs no more reasons. Watch it for the reboot and the changes that have been brought in the film, and the resized monster.
