Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle · review
I will admit, I was never and will never be a fan of the largely popular franchise Godzilla. God knows how many times they will recycle the story to grab some more cash. But man, even so, this movie is so exciting to watch and is completely better than the first movie Netflix released. The story takes off from the first movie's ending when most of the human's tropes have been wiped out by the almighty Godzilla. Seemingly all hope has lost but that's not the case for our main character, Sasaki Haruo, who by accident found out about a kind of human still survive onearth. Furthermore, he along with the surviving tropes discover a mean to destroy the Godzilla. Will their plan succeed this time? Well, that's what you have to find out for yourself.
I think the animation for this movie has improved quite a bit from the first movie. The characters and sceneries look more realistic and their movement is not so stiff anymore. But still in no way I can imagine that a Godzilla should be treated with such bad CGI, I can barely realize the Godzilla. I gave the animation a 5. The soundtrack is just the same, not bad but I do want something new for this. Gave it a 7.
What can I say about the characters? They never change, such one-dimensional, quite fitting for the settings of the movie but again the fact remains prevent the movie from any breaking grounds and hold back its potentials.
Even so, the entertainment value is great. I can say the way they deal with the Godzilla is quite clever though it's mostly just plot devices. A good movie to watch with your friends in the evening.
