Boring Plot- Excellent effects

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2014)

Godzilla 2014 is a vast improvement over the quite terrible 1998 film. The film started well and I enjoyed the mix of Science and Geography thrown in there especially about the nuclear reactor. It kept the film motivating and purposeful. Sadly this all faded leaving Godzilla and two other large creatures roaming around the world destroying various things. From here on end the film had a very poor plot (Kill Godzilla) and the acting was only mediocre. The US army were both good and at the same time pathetic. Trying to shoot the beast quite obviously didn't help at all. So what did they try doing... Blow up Godzilla! This just reminded me how lame the creativity of this film really was. In saying this the effects were brilliant and watching the film in 3D IMAX made things even better. The sound effects and music is to be commended too. I enjoyed the opening theme song also, however I would not recommend this movie.
