Is it really about Godzilla?

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2014)

So I watched the movie this evening and I got to say that I am amazed. This movie looks and feels like an old Godzilla movie, classic design,classic roar and I appreciate it. But the movie fall just short for one reason.
The Characters: Godzilla movies are suppose to be about well Godzilla right? But in this movie we are introduced and tagged along with Ford and guy who does bomb stuff in the military for a living. The problem here is as the movie goes on it seems like the movie is just about him and his struggle to get back to his wife and son, and we forget what this movie is about sometimes. Let me remind everyone that the movie should be about Godzilla kicking monster ass, but instead we have character development about some family who experienced Godzilla. Don't get me wrong this is good but not when.the whole movie is about this. What this movie really needs to be is Godzilla's development as a character overcoming the challenge of defeating the monster and saving the human race (because as we know Godzilla has ambition to save the human race) with a small perspective of what people experienced not a whole plot. If Godzilla's fight and conflict was the center-point it would make a better movie. Well in my opinion.
