Watch the trailer, skip the movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2014)

I was excited about the movie after watching the teaser and trailer, but then realized that watching the rest of the movie just ruins the trailer.
I think the biggest fail of this Godzilla movie is that they over-Americanized it with a prominent human lead. The main character, Ford, zigzags from the center of the action in once scene to the center of the action the next scene. He manages to meet all the monsters eye-to-eye a half dozen times, and lives!! The movie is mostly about him, with Godzilla there just as a backdrop.
It's better than that Matt Broderick movie they made in 1998, but not by a lot.
