While I hate the concept of what biopics have become (a mere bait film produced specially for Oscar contention), Bon Dylan’s music has always meant a lot to me.

We as a species have suffered much pain during our existence and we all carry it out in our own certain ways. We grieve and we hurt and that's what makes us human. Because in the end we always persevere, finding comfort in each other along the way.

A monster movie filled with so much heart, courage, redemption and a celebration of the human spirit. I never expected to feel so emotionally invested in the human element of a Godzilla movie but I'm so glad that this film took that route. Also I'm glad Godzilla is a straight up menace, contrary to most recent films.
