Here's my honest review of the movie:

WARNING IT CONTAINS SPOILERS

Characters: Legendary actually went out of they're way to make these characters memorable and you got to admit, you atleast felt a little sad at the father's death scene.

Now Godzilla is just... Not really Godzilla. Now they got the character perfectly except for his backstory. This is the first Godzilla movie to completely ignore the original source movie. They just slapped a giant bipedal fire breathing lizard on it and named it Godzilla. I completely loved his CGI though.

The Muto scenes were amazing too. My favourite scene with them was when the main character was hiding on the train tracks and the female Muto was taking a look at them. The characters really went a far way from the being designs on action figures. I just wish the male and female Mutos really had more of a difference. All I saw was the male was smaller with wings and the female was bigger without wings. That was it. No color difference. Nothing. Just wings. But they still were fantastic monsters though.

Plot: Amazing. Just speechless. But there were a bit of plot holes.

Special effects: Now when you give Legendary a high budget film to work on they really try they're best and it ends up paying off. I mean I loved that scene where the main character is about to be killed by the female Muto was Godzilla stops her and does the atomic breath into her mouth to burn her insides and eventually blow her head off only for it to be thrown into the ocean. Now that is a Death Battle quality death there. But time to get back on topic. The special effects were amazing. And the CGI used for the monsters were no exceptions. I seriously love how much texture and detail was given to Godzilla. Too bad he didn't appear much. His atomic breath looked amazing though.

In all: I'd give this movie a 9 and a half out of 10.
