Although I (age 52) brought a lot of enthusiasm to the outing, it was the worse movie I've seen in a long time.

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2014)

The script wasn't good and the movie was hard to follow. A big bomb was promised but we didn't get it because the director had to let the monsters fight. We also didn't get the monsters eating the biggest bomb and getting even stronger than they were. Why even foreshadow that? I got bored with the movie. The audience was not moved by anything in the movie. Godzilla was too big, too long, and too bulky. I thought the movie was in bad taste in reference to showing the womb of the female monster and a bit too much bodily fluid. I didn't get enough on where the male and female monsters came from in the insect world, but, in their defense, they are massive, "unidentified" terrestrial organisms--not even a "they're a cross between..." After a good introduction to Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the character he portrayed, inevitably, I couldn't empathize with the human hero of the movie. He gets on the train with a kid who gets separated from his parents and he says meet us at the next stop--what a long ride before the next stop! Did we really need two little boys in this movie, his son and the boy who got separated from his parents? The boy who got separated from his parents either wasn't a good actor or the script and the director didn't serve him well. Elizabeth Olsen was good.
The climactic fight scene between Godzilla and the two monsters (MUTOs) was something to see--for a moment or two. It didn't rouse me or the audience. It didn't elicit any cheering.
