What to Know

Critics Consensus

With just enough human drama to anchor the sweeping spectacle of giant monsters smashing everything in sight, Gareth Edwards' Godzilla satisfyingly restores the franchise's fire-breathing glory.

David Sims AV Club Every time Edwards' Godzilla rears up, you stiffen with excitement. Every time he roars, Edwards wants you to feel it and wince. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'Godzilla' doesn't feel cynical; there's a sense of joy to the picture, of honest-to-God fun, which separates it from many of its summer movie brethren. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Richard Lawson Vanity Fair This isn't a thinking man's Godzilla, exactly, but it's certainly clever where it counts. Jan 5, 2015 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s a stunner in every sense of the word. Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Wael Khairy The Cinephile Fix Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla is a beast of a film, and while it does brush its thick tail close to greatness, it is not without its flaws. Oct 8, 2023 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Godzilla focuses more on the human characters than on the monster fights, and despite the narrative balance needing some adjustments, it surprisingly works quite well. The suspenseful build-up works in favor of the climactic third act. Rated: B+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jude M Very cool movie! Loved the actions and overall an amazing story. Just wish they didn’t give all the Lore too fast Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Very good movie. Great special affects. Godzilla is badass. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Finn K I just love this movie! Everything about it is perfect. The plot is very good and I personally really like the dark atmosphere. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Pretty solid reboot! You can tell a lot of TLC went into this. Wish Bryan Cranston had more screen time though, not the bland actor that played his son. The main action scenes are very impressive! Godzilla looks magnificent in all his glory. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Deano L Really enjoyed the horror feeling and suspense in this film. I feel the sequels lost some of the magic compared to the 2014 with a more action packed approach. Definitely recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Honestly, of all the Godzilla movies, this is the best by far. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
