A decent movie with amazing cinematography, great acting, realistic special effects, and a chilling score

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2014)

This movie is a lot better than I expected. The cinematography is absolutely amazing, probably the best I've ever seen. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and the rest of the cast did a great job at acting. The special effects and CGI were very realistic. The score didn't flow very well with the movie, but it was still great.
A lot of people complained that this movie has a horrible plot. They are right, to some extent. The story isn't very advanced, but you can expect that from a movie that was made for the action. This brings me to another point. Many people were also disappointed that Godzilla didn't get much screen time, which is also true. I too am disappointed by that fact. I feel like he didn't get much screen time so that the plot could progress, but the plot didn't progress very well. That is why I am rating this movie 8, instead of 9 or 10.
Overall, Godzilla was an entertaining movie that had great camera work, special, effects, etc. I will definitely see it again. I don't know why it is rated 7.1. Maybe hardcore Godzilla fans were expecting a better movie? Whatever it may be, I think that this movie should be rated at least 7.5. I obviously can't change that, so I can least make my opinion known.
Thanks for reading!
