Not as good as everyone claims it to be..

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2014)

Did I enjoy Godzilla? Slightly. More so than I did Amazing Spider-Man 2, but then again that was a bad movie to start off with.
1. I find Aaron Taylor-Johnsons character to be ridiculously redundant and unneeded. Most likely the only reason why they put him in there was because Hollywood needed an attractive Caucasian character to be the lead. His character is utterly ridiculous, with no goal or motivation. He didn't disarm the bomb, so him being an EOD was not relevant. He failed to warn his superiors that the female Mothra or Muuto is already going through gestation. The movie made it a big deal about how they were seeking each other to mate, once they joined up, their mating only involved the male giving the female a nuclear payload? She could've obtained that on her own.
2. How on earth did they go from Japan, to a carrier, then take a helicopter back to Hawaii? Even military helicopters have a max distance of around 750 miles without refueling, the distance between Japan and Hawaii is 4100 miles. Even if the carrier was half way between Japan and Hawaii, they still wouldn't be able to make the distance on a helicopter.
3. Why on earth would the Muutos and Godzilla go to San Francisco? There are no Nuclear power plants, so for a creature who feeds on radiation, they're going pretty far away from a food source.
4. Ken Watanabe has "studied" Godzilla and the Muuto for decades yet know nothing about them. So his character was not relevant as well.
The movie isn't worth the $10-15 that theatre charges, in my opinion it's only worth a $5 discount ticket. The acting was really bad, the only enjoyable moments was the 5 minute fight at the end when Godzilla just wrecked mothra like a boss.
