Worst film I've seen in a long, long time.

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2014)

A correction. If you are 15 and under, its a terrific movie. Otherwise, save your money, as you'll feel like walking out. Although this low-budget movie starts off OK, and yes, the special effects are pretty good (although the x-man/spider-man effects were better IMHO), the movie drags on and drags on. Yawn! When Godzilla wants to 'help' humanity by killing off the pair of monstrous birdies, they actually have a sergeant tell his troops to 'hold your fire' so the birds can make it to their nest.
Never mind that the birds are destroying half of Las Vegas, Honolulu, San Francisco, and annihilating thousands of innocent bystanders, but hey, ya can't fight them! Politically incorrect to use ordinance on birds, I suppose.
I know tech always takes a leap out of the window in 'shoot 'em up movies', which is fine- so long as the effects are good. But the special effects team must have had a laughingly hearty field day to show dozens of jets and planes just falling out of the sky due to the EMP by the birds on them. Never mind there are mechanical over-rides to EMP by the military and commercial aircraft, the toy planes just crash 'n burn into the Pacific ocean like so many mosquito's swapped from the sky. It just looked too darn phony. They sure could have done a much better job with EMP special effects, but then again, I'm not a producer.
Finally, I guess Hollywood likes to show how ineffectual our military is, because when they had the fire-breathing Godzilla use that 'hot breath' to kill off one of the birds, it could have saved thousands of lives (and property, and a couple of cities) by just one private firing a couple of air to surface missiles down their gullet, into their soft underbelly, their eyes, whatever. But obviously, not that romantic.
Better to think that humanity is close to extinction because our military for some reason can't shoot some prehistoric birds down. Like I said, I love 'shoot em up' movies as much as the next, but the schtick is so over the top and with such erratic special effects, that if you're not a teenager, as they say, 'fahget it'!
