Ghidora was brilliantly executed! So much that I didn’t really mind that Godzilla had so little screentime. The first attempt at killing him all the way to his evolution and destroying the town was the best sequence in the film. The crack and boom sound of his lightning beams was amazing in IMAX. Ghidora’s theme is fantastic and a great contrast to Godzilla’s.

The human element wasn’t as strong as in Minus One. I wish it was focused on the old guy instead of the two leads from the previous film. They didn’t really have anything new for the original characters outside of Noriko having the Godzilla gene. They could’ve centered it around the old guy and his quest for revenge no matter the cost (using Noriko and killing innocent civilians by directing godzilla at NY).

The couple taking the kid with them anyway after an overextended dramatic scene was a cop out IMO. The scene went on too long and it would’ve worked only if they actually left her behind.

Overall still a great (but very loud) movie in IMAX and I’m going for a rewatch next week.
