First Look: Godzilla roars back into movie theaters
What: “Godzilla”
Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins, David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston
Writer: Max Borenstein
Director: Gareth Edwards
The story: Godzilla battles giant monsters to protect Earth in this 60th anniversary celebration of the beloved creature.
The buzz: Japanese fans already are complaining that this Godzilla is too fat. But it would take a lot more than an extra chin or two to keep this one from at least being better than that 1998 monstrosity starring Matthew Broderick.
