Rating: 7 out of 10, This was a very
fun ride on the absurdity scale which is what makes these movies so
entertaining. It could have been better if the humans could have stayed out of
the way a little more. Coach Taylor seemed in a perpetual frenzied state whilst
11 from Stranger Things, as his on screen daughter, proved she is ready for
bigger things. I guess the frenzy is understandable as the world reels from an
onslaught of immense monsters started by his estranged wife but he could have
toned it down. Godzilla is the hero here fighting against a three headed space
dragon (yep!). The script must have been penned by a frustrated Yankee fan
because poor Fenway Park takes a savage beating in the climactic battle. The
advance of CGI technology means the monsters are more “realistic” than the
iconic 1960’s versions but this is still a lot of harmless fun (except if you
were standing near the real Green Monster).
MVP: Watanabe who gets to utter
several trademark “godzillas” which should only be uttered with a Japanese
accent
