El retorno de Godzilla

Almost after a decade of no Godzilla films comes a legacy sequel/reboot to the original with all the seriousness that was missing all those years between this and the original. Starts off as an 80s horror movie and then gets into the political landscape of the Cold War. The original was about the fear and the public consciousness surrounding the nuclear threat that was something the people witnessed. This is the next generation for whom nuclear threats are more of accidents or the egos of America and Russia in the Cold War. The various political conferences between experts and representatives of different countries are deliberately included to remind the threat is real and to highlight the policies and principles that should be upheld during such times. Of course, more ground-level characters to relate to are also there and those characters represent fear, hope and tenacity of the people to overcome this by relying and believing in each other. The last shot of Godzilla with just the music speaks a lot more than what could've been said. This is definitely the best one since the original one.
