The Beauty And Grandeur Of ‘Godzilla’ By David Chen/May 15, 2014 2:00 pm EST But one thing that is undeniable is how incredible Godzilla looks. While some may argue that this teasing goes on for a bit too long, I personally found it to be much more effective than showing a large creature destroying stuff while humans watched helplessly.
