The first 20 minutes are pretty good

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2018)

The first 20 minutes of Godzilla are pretty good. Then the movie drags on with bland acting and a weak story for about an hour until it returns to "pretty good" status in the last 20 minutes. It never achieves greatness. Even the big monster fights, which should be really cool, are almost completely obscured by darkness and smoke. It's impressive as a visual effects demo reel, but Godzilla is only mediocre as a movie.
