First movie this year I've rated under 9 stars.

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2014)

I really wanted to like this movie. I really, really did.
Most times I come here and read these reviews and think people are insane but, to be honest, I guess I'll just have to be one of "those people" this time.
I left the theater with a LOT of questions. There were things I just flat out didn't understand. I really didn't connect with the characters as well as I wanted to, because the chemistry just wasn't there. Also, why didn't we get more Godzilla? The huge fight scene at the end was amazing, yes, but the first two fights in the movie that could have been awesome were over WAY too fast. I was really bummed about that.
Also, I felt there were a couple of really cheesy moments in the movie. Most times I don't care about those but....just the way he announces that they named the beast "Godzilla".....with that long pause.....there were tons of people laughing in the theater at how silly that was. I actually felt embarrassed for the film. I never hear people laugh at something was supposed to me a more serious part of the film.
To be honest, there was quite a bit of laughing. :\
I am glad that I went to see it because it WAS enjoyable, but sadly as much as people hate it, I enjoyed the Godzilla with Matthew Broderick much more.
