Good review! I liked it, mostly based on their creative idea.

Hi, Audiophilander!
I'll give the movie a thumbs up, too.
I was taken by the idea of looking at a Godzilla movie from the point of view of one of the people on the ground, instead of the usual 'omniscient camera' point of view.
I also liked how the action moved forward and the characters 'decided' what to do under these circumstances.
I even liked the almost typical twist toward the end.
The only part that made me lose my "suspension of disbelief" was the fact that there were so few people milling about wherever the characters went. I also had a twinge of plot distrust in that the monster just kept strolling through Manhattan. I was thinking that after 8 hours of screaming and knocking stuff over, he/she/it would get tired of getting shot at and bombed on and take the action somewhere else. (I'm sure there's a plot line for that behavior, but the monster seemed to keep walking down the same streets.)![]()
