More Than Meets The Eye

'Godzilla' is possibly the most anticipated movie of the year. Coming on the heels of a somewhat sarcastic web slinger, we're all in the mood for some depth, and Zilla delivers.

In this clip there are three strong character reveals and writer Max Borenstein (from a story by Dave Callaham) deserves a lot of credit for the power of this scene. Director Gareth Edwards handles the goings on nicely, but Borenstein came up with the goods and managed to establish a clear character within 90 seconds.

I'm assuming that, at this point in the movie, we have yet to see the monster, however this introduction leaves little doubt that Godzilla is a perceptive creature with clear motives whose actions will mean something to audiences.

Great hook.
