Probably worth a watch, just...

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2014)

It gets a 7 quite generously as I believe is incredibly hard to make any sort or storyline whatsoever in a cataclysmic monster battle film. Firstly, Bryan Cranston. Wonderful actor, very realistic and moving tones of voice. That being said he is almost completely under-used. He's killed off by a rather sudden and unjust death. He doesn't even have the justice of seeing Godzilla with his own eyes. Secondly, there is no character development at all. Johnstone is a good actor and I like him in his Kickass films. His story is built on losing his parents to these muto monsters and spends the film making sure his own family doesn't perish with them. Not sure if it's tension they're trying to create with the nuclear warhead or extra drama, but it didn't change anything for me. The actual monsters we're pretty cool, nicely designed, but perhaps a little too invincible, everything seemed bullet resistant. The Godzilla blue flame breath was just a little too unbelievable for me. He already has what seems like eternal life and huge size, now he's part dragon. Special effects, brilliant as expected. The films main character(s) only change one thing in the whole film which is Johnstone Killing the muto offspring and in turn saving Godzilla. May I say the fuel truck was very conveniently placed... Only Godzilla films will never get tens because tens belong to films which can hit multiple genres. They've done as much as they can and definitely the best Godzilla film out there.
