Godzilla (Blu-ray Review)

October 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins
Director: Gareth Edwards
Running Time: 123 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 27th 2014 (UK)

After the disaster that was Roland Emmerich’s dreadful 1998 take on Godzilla you might have thought Hollywood would never touch the property again. However the massive monster has returned in a movie that sticks closer to the original Japanese Toho ideas than Emmerich’s efforts, and yet is still very much a modern blockbuster.

While working at a Japanese Nuclear Reactor in the late 1990s, Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) lost his wife (Juliette Binoche) during a meltdown. However he’s never believed it was caused by an earthquake and has become obsessed with the idea that something is being hidden in the supposed disaster area. After recruiting his estranged son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), they venture into the hot zone and discover that not only is there no radiation, but that an organisation called Monarch is hiding a pupating monster.

Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe
Director: Gareth Edwards
Running Time: 123 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: May 15th 2014

16 years after the dodgy Roland Emmerich version of the 1954 Japanese cult classic comes a welcome Hollywood reboot of the mother (or father) of all monster movies – Godzilla.

Gareth Edwards, who shot to fame as the director of the hugely successful Monsters, is behind the camera this time and has managed to breath fire into this dormant franchise. [Read more…]

Godzilla Asia Trailer – The best look at the monsters yet?

April 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Most of the marketing for Godzilla has been based around hiding the big beastie, but it appear audiences in Asia wouldn’t put up with any of that nonsense, and so this Asian trailer gives us our best look at the giant lizard yet – along with the other monsters that feature in the movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

‘Gareth Edwards directs “Godzilla,” which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Kick-Ass”), Oscar® nominee Ken Watanabe (“The Last Samurai,” “Inception”), Elizabeth Olsen (“Martha Marcy May Marlene”), Oscar® winner Juliette Binoche (“The English Patient,” “Cosmopolis”), and Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), with Oscar® nominee David Strathairn (“Good Night, and Good Luck.,” “The Bourne Legacy”) and Bryan Cranston (“Argo,” TV’s “Breaking Bad”).’

The film is out in May. [Read more…]

Best Look Yet At The New Godzilla In A Fresh Pic

April 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Godzilla-new-pic1The marketing of Godzilla has largely been based around hiding the giant creature from us, mainly showing us bits and pieces of the lizard, while hiding his entire frame in the mists and smoke.

However now a new image has shown up online which gives us our best look yet at Godzilla in full daylight, although it’s still not quite a full body shot.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

‘Gareth Edwards directs “Godzilla,” which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Kick-Ass”), Oscar® nominee Ken Watanabe (“The Last Samurai,” “Inception”), Elizabeth Olsen (“Martha Marcy May Marlene”), Oscar® winner Juliette Binoche (“The English Patient,” “Cosmopolis”), and Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), with Oscar® nominee David Strathairn (“Good Night, and Good Luck.,” “The Bourne Legacy”) and Bryan Cranston (“Argo,” TV’s “Breaking Bad”).’

Godzilla Extended Look – Aaron Taylor-Johnson vs. one enormous monster

April 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If something’s called an ‘Extended Look’, you’d expect it to be longer than a normal trailer, but this isn’t really. It does however feature a decent amount of rather cool new footage, which suggests this is going to be a big movie and a big monster.

I am slightly perplexed though, as Bryan Cranston starts shouting, ‘You’re hiding something out there’, and I’m not entirely sure how you hide something as enormous as Godzilla – he’s the size of a small country.

All will be explained (hopefully) when it hits UK cinemas on May 15th.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

The Giant Lizard Is Back As New Godzilla Posters Roar Online

March 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Godzilla-new-Teaser-poster3
I’m half starting to think that even when Godzilla is released, there’ll be nothing that gives us a really, really good look at the giant lizard. All the marketing has been based around showing bits of its body and whenever the whole thing looms into view, it’s hidden in the in the swirling dust.

Two new posters have arrived and they don’t change tack, with one just showing off the tail and the other only showing us the beast in silhouette. They’re still pretty cool though.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

The film’s due in cinemas in May.

Fresh Godzilla Trailer – Aaron Johnson vs. one big city-crushing critter

March 18, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The marketing for Godzilla has traded on only showing us bit of pieces of the massive creature, with this new trailer being no exception. However we do get to see him shrouded in fog, as well as some sort of enormous flying beastie.

Of course there are also a few humans who have to deal with the legendary city-crusher, such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe and Bryan Cranston.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

New Godzilla Trailer – The massive lizard is back and causing havoc for Aaron Johnson

February 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Right from the beginning of this trailer it’s clear that one thing no city (or insurance company) wants is a Godzilla, as they are not conducive to peaceful living and not having enormous holes smacked through buildings. It may be 60 years since Godzilla first started causing havoc, but in this new big budget Hollywood flick he’s certainly not lost his destructive powers (and Aaron Johnson has lost his hotness either).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

The film, which is looking pretty cool, is due out in May. [Read more…]

Godzilla Towers Over The City In A New Poster

February 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Godzilla-new-Teaser-poster2
That naughty Godzilla can’t see a city without wanting to trample all over it. He’s like a three-year-old! Now the giant lizard is back to his old tricks in an ominous new poster, showing devastating being caused by a creature that dwarfs even the tallest buildings.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
