'Godzilla' Review/Thoughts

Today my brother and I decided to see Godzilla to see of our favorite childhood monster. And trust us the King's new movie does not disappoint. Thoughts are spoiler free. Review will have minor spoilers.

What We Liked:

• Bryan Cranston's Performance
• Nods to other Toho monsters
• Incredible CGI effects
• Interesting origin story
• Classic Godzilla look 
• Godzilla is beautiful and imposing
• Intense 3rd Act
• Fun Monster fights
• Ken Watanabe saying Godzilla
• COSMIC BREATH!!
• Shots of Godzilla swimming or underwater

What We Didn't Like:

• The wait to finally see Godzilla
• Human story dragged near the end and didn't really pay off
• Could Have used more Godzilla overall
• Not enough Bryan Cranston either

Review: Godzilla gives you a human filled story until it's an amazing monster mashed 3rd act. There are nods to classic Toho monsters such as Mothra that old school Godzilla enthusiasts will love, but you will have to wait to see the King of Monsters until later in the picture. Bryan Cranston's performance as supposed crack pot Joe eases the long wait, but he doesn't get as much screen time as I would have liked. Other actors like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen do an admirable job, but nothing really groundbreaking. All in all you do not see a Godzilla film for the acting, you see it for the privilege of witnessing the King of Monsters kick the asses of all challengers. Ken Watanabe calls Godzilla the Alpha Predator. The King earns this title and more in the film's final fight sequence, but before that the viewer gets a new and intriguing origin story for the kaiju. We learn how Godzilla is really a force of nature who can't be controlled. He truly is the closet thing to a 'God' on Earth. Overall the Informers give the new Godzilla a 8 out of 10. It's a fun watch for new and old Godzilla fans. 

First Pictures of Ultron From Avengers 2?!!

The other day it was reported that The Avengers: Age of Ultron was filming scenes in Italy with Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor Johnson), and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Now we know who they were battling with, the film's big baddie Ultron (James Spader). Thanks to CineFilos, we also now know that Italy is being used as a backdrop for in the fictional Eastern European city of Sokovia and that Ultron is responsible for all the craziness taking place there. So I guess there will be no snowball fights, that's disappointing. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is shooting now and due out in May 2015.

Looks like it gonna be a fun fight. I found this final picture humorous.

Avengers: AOU Filming Snow Scenes!

Wanna see Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch fight in the snow? Look no further because Avengers: Age of Ultron has granted your wish. Joss Whedon's follow up to 2012's smash hit is filming snowy scenes in Italy according to Aostasera.it. The site has also posted photos of Fort Bard or where the battle will take place and has also posted inside information claiming actors Jeremy Renner (American Hustle), Aaron Taylor Johnson (Kick Ass), and Elizabeth Olsen (Godzilla) are all in town to partake in the snow fight. Who would win in a snowball fight Hawkeye, Quicksilver or Scarlet Witch? Hawkeye has precision aim, but Quicksilver can dodge anything and Scarlet Witch can use her mind to manipulate the snowballs trajectory. This would be so much easier to choose a winner if the Hulk was involved. You hit Bruce Banner with one snowball then the Hulk straight murders you. Winner Winner! Well anyway, Avengers: Age of Ultron is continuing to film all over the world and is expected in theaters in May 2015.

Concept Art For Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch Revealed!

Marvel has released concept art of the two newest members of the Avengers, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. The brother and sister duo look like a pretty awesome fit into the MCU. My first thought was how much better this Quicksilver looks in comparison to Fox's silver haired seventies look. Aaron Taylor Johnson looks much more like his comic book counterpart than Evan Peters does. Peters looks like someone who drives an ice cream truck around to local playgrounds. Not a good look, bro. Avengers: Age of Ultron is shooting now and will be in theaters in 2015. Who looks better? Let us know in the comments.
