CRAPZILLA, tears of dispair

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2014)

Alright if you're reading this, you're going to get some spoilers.
First, the story opens up okay. It's a little like a made for TV movie at first, but when Cranston comes in, you feel a lot better. His part really lets you believe he's going to be part of the entire film. WRONG, he dies in a helicopter. Oh and who takes over? His no-name actor son (Taylor-Johnson) and Ken Watanabe (the guy who owns the airline in Inception).
First I love Cranston from B.B., so why kill him early? He totally sets up a decent film until he dies. Then it's all down hill.
Second, I really like Watanabe. He's a great actor, why does he look like he's really depressed, really tired, or really drugged on something during every shot. Seriously, go back and look at him - he's a total mess, but he happens to be the one and only scientist who knows everything about the monsters.
And third, the love/family scenes between Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olson (one of the Olson's who plays the wife) with the kid who looks like the kid version of Peter Dinklage does not need to be in the film. It really lacks the sympathy for them. Godzilla should've squashed that story or blew blue fire at them to make the audience feel better.
Last but not least, people are comparing this to Pacific Rim. DON'T. We knew that Pacific Rim was suppose to be campy and over the top, we were not suppose to take it seriously. This film tried too hard to do that. Don't waste your time or money. If you're a Breaking Bad fan, look somewhere else. Cranston's in it for a few minutes. :(
