Godzilla ****

Who doesn't love a monster movie and Godzilla is the crème de la crème. I was hoping we would do justice to this monster god because lets face it our track record for rebooting films is less then stellar. But I have to say it was entertaining and Godzilla looked great sounded great the action was great but sadly there wasn't much of the main man in the movie. It started off solid and I enjoyed the beginning but once it got to the 15 years later mark it felt like there was a lot of pointless scenes that didn't have much point to the main story. I feel that they could have eliminated these scenes and gave us more monster on monster action.  The fight scenes were awesome and got you pumped but they were maybe the last 25 minutes of the 2 hour movie. I can say that the first time you heard Godzilla roar it sent chills down your spine but it was over all too quick.  I feel that yes Godzilla was in the movie but it was more about the guy saying he has to get back to his family. But at every turn choosing to not get back to his family and putting himself were ever the monster was all in the name of duty. It was a bit annoying he kept telling his wife to wait for him but then he choose not to get there on time. I do love that they made Godzilla like a hero in this movie but I can tell you humans would not cheer if Godzilla got up and walked to the water after defeating the other monsters  we would try to kill it just saying. But over all it was a  good movie I just wish it was more monster less human.

Pacific Rim *****

I can't say enough about how much I loved this movie.It was like Godzilla vs Transformers! I just totally
geeked out about how cool the monsters were they were never the same they were always evolving. The Robots were unique to each nationality and the idea behind how they worked was so in depth. I have been pretty rough on movies lately nothing has been different all the action movies have been the same thing no plot and lots of explosions and action. Which is OK if you want to turn your brain off for a bit. But this movie is just so complex. they have great character development and back stories. You are never wondering why someone is acting a certain way or why something is happening. You pretty much just watch it unfold and enjoy the story and action. It is so rare to have both A great story and plot line with amazing action and special fx. Also I must say if you have the chance to see this in 3D I implore you to do so. It had to be the most amazing 3D movie I have ever seen. It was not just certain parts of the movie were in 3D the whole movie was and it wasn't always the pop out 3D its like the back of the screen is gone and it just opens up into the scene and you could just walk through. just amazing!. I also will have to say the acting was really good Idris Elba can really give a mean speech after his rallying of the troops I was on board and ready to fight. If you also are a fan of his like I am and you haven't watched his show Luther you must it's on BBC America. Anyway,  I also didn't think Charlie Hunnan was going to be able to hold his own off the set of SOA but boy was I wrong kudos to him cause I was pretty much saying he will never be able to move on from that show. (eats her words). I love when actors prove me wrong. So if you haven't already seen this just go out an buy the DVD because this one you will want to watch over and over again.
