I adore this movie. The story, the characters, the cinematography, the music... I love it all. Caleb McLaughlin gives one of the best young actor performances I've ever seen, Idris Elba is also amazing, Jharrel Jerome shines as well. One flaw I will say is I don't care too much about any of the other characters outside of Cole, Harp, and Smush, but, that's ok. This is a brilliant coming of age story. We see Cole start off as a scared teenager at the beginning, not knowing who he was or his place in life, and he eventually finds a home with these people and starts to actually care about himself the people around him. He actually goes through the hero's journey in this film.
I've seen a lot of people criticize that the film doesn't focus on Fletcher Street enough. I get it, but it's quite clear from the script that this movie is meant to be Cole's story, it's about this teenager going through this journey and Fletcher Street is apart of that, but Cole is the focus.
Overall, I love this movie, I don't get why it has a 6.3/10 IMDb score. It seriously is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Godzilla was awesome. Now, now, it isn't perfect, but overall it was extremely entertaining. Lets dive right in. Also, the movie actually shows the title in beginning! Most movies don't do it till the end or not at all! That annoys me! So here we go.
First off, the story was interesting. I enjoyed seeing the military action that took place against Godzilla. David Straharin and Ken Wantabe played an interesting role in it. Now the film definitely follows the role of Aaron Taylor Johnsons character named Ford Brody. He is in it for almost every scene. Ford Brody is an interesting character. You do wanna see him get back to his family. You wanna see him and wife meet again. But by the time it gets to the end you don't really care about him and you can guess why. The whole government conspiracy was interesting, and Bryan Cranston played a very interesting role in that.
Acting- The acting was good, mainly from Bryan Cranston. While he won't win any Oscars, Bryan did a very good job with his character. Ken Wantabe did a very good job and so did David Stratharin. The beautiful Elizabeth Olsen did a good job. So overall, good acting.
CGI- AMAZING! WOW! I FELT LIKE I COULD REACH OUT (and touch faith) THE MONSTERS!
The MUTOS- Yeah, the other monsters, something I have been curious about seeing for a while. I mean, WOW were they badass. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like them, but they are badass and terrifying. Little kids that are gonna be brought to this movie aren't gonna be scared of Godzilla. They are gonna be scared of the MUTOs.
Godzilla- Yeah, the reason why we came to see the movie. How was he? AWESOME! They portrayed him so well. While it would have been nice to see him more, every second he is in is badass. And the very second after you see him that is a second of not seeing him, you want to see him again. You just want to see him AGAIN AND AGAIN! The movie does make you be patient, but the final act delivers. This movie has the most badass Godzilla you will ever see.
Visual Style- The Visual Style of the movie was very nice. Very good cinematography.
3D-Well done. Not the best 3D I've ever seen, nowhere near of the level of this years The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or 300: Rise of an Empire, but the 3D still delivered, especially in the rainy scenes.
Here is quick pros and cons
+ Godzilla is badass
+ Great soundtrack
+ Amazing CGI
+ Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor Johnson) is actually likable
+ Bryan Cranston
+ The MUTOS were awesome
+ Good 3D
+ The Last 30 Mins Is AWESOME
+ The Atomic Breath
+ The Way Godzilla Is Portrayed
Overall, while it can get slow and boring and it needed more of the title monster, Godzilla is overall a very awesome, entertaining, and badass experience that needs to be seen in IMAX 3D. Godzilla is a very good film that would make Ishiro Honda proud. 9.0/10

- Not Enough Godzilla
- The Story Starts Off Nice But Once It Gets To The Final Act It Gets Boring
- Another thing that it needed more of. If you've seen the movie you might know what I mean.
- A Lot Of The Shots and Scenes of Godzilla are short.
- It Gets Slow

Jason gets his hockey mask, its in 3D, its a slasher movie. You'd think it's the best film right? Unforantly, no, it's one of the worst. It's very boring, the charters aren't very likable, and very unmemorable kills. You need to see this in 3D, it has great 3D, and if not you'll be miserable watching a Jaws 3 like movie, a 2D 3D movie. The film is fun, I guess, but not very good. Jason is ugly, he has a huge butt chin and his mask looks like it's made of plastic. The charters are very ugly, escpacily Debby, Shelly, and Chris. Many of the kills are simple, uncreative kills. The only kill I've never heared of is a rake to the chest. All the other kills are overused and simple. It's just boring and bad. It does have some good moments, but not really. The final chase scene is great, but the rest of the movie is boring. Still see it though. 4/10
