Godzilla 1985 (1985)
Not the best intro to Godzilla
This movie is something I originally was going to give a 6, but as the last thirty minutes dragged on horribly, I found myself lowering it.
pretty much all the action scenes last like at most a minute, then cut to the humans talking forever, then more talking, then more talking.... the acting is rather good, a lot better than expected. At first I was really into it, I was genuinely interested in how the Japanese government deals with the knowledge that Godzilla is back as well as the drama of the Soviet Union and the United States wanting to kill Godzilla with nuclear weapons.
The action (when it did happen) was fun and entertaining, mostly. Too little happens, just small teams of the self-defence force occasionally hit Godzilla, he mostly ignores them and sometimes knocks a building over.
Not a good first Zilla filick.
