I think what I forgot in my pre-watching enthusiasm for this one is that, actually, the monster movie isn't particularly one of my favourite genres. Nonetheless, and even though I'd call it good rather than great, this Godzilla held my attention, with a combination of satisfying creature effects and destruction and some strikingly poetic and beautiful visuals, like the sequence where a group of military types parachutes down into a smokily ruined city (that last a hallmark of director Gareth Edwards' previous, Monsters).
