Boring and agitating.

Rating: 1/10 (23 October 2014)

Revive a storied franchise? How about embarrass the hell out of it. Storyline is flimsy. Graphics are murky. Characters are like cardboard. Acting...someone acting? Direction must have been phoned in. Action is loud and confusing. A couple of insect-looking creatures crawl out of a long buried enormous carcass. They are said to be gravitating to large amounts of radiation near San Francisco and the state of Nevada. Mankind is threatened by these giant monsters and military enforcement is placed on land and sea. But it is going to take something bigger and more powerful. During all the mayhem, the King of Monsters is awakened. Godzilla comes to battle and destroy the two strange monsters. The title of the movie is Godzilla, but he is only on screen maybe ten minutes. Godzilla is no longer the monster that causes death and destruction...Godzilla is a hero! Something I did like was hearing a few seconds of Elvis singing "Devil In Disguise".
The cast: Bryan Cranston, boring. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, pedestrian. In support are: Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen and Juliette Binoche.
