Irrelevant drama & dialogue = fillers

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2014)

Too much irrelevant dialogue/drama. There are shows/movies that have good dialogue & drama, but those are actually relevant to the theme of those shows/movies. Irrelevant drama = fillers. Some of them could have been cut shorter.. for example, the scene where the main character's mom died could have been 1 or 2 minutes shorter, or better yet, it should have just been left out and instead just present it as a short anecdote. They tried to make it look so dramatic how she died, even though it was just a few minutes into the movie... that's just unnecessary and silly.
As for the action scenes... Too few & too brief. The only memorable scene was the atomic breath scene. Without that scene, I would have probably given this movie a 2/10 or maybe even a 1.
This movie has a 7.1 IMDb rating because of the atomic breath scene and the hype from all the fans. If the Godzilla franchise didn't exist prior to this movie, then the ratings would have been much lower.
This is just one of many movies that's mediocre but has 1 memorable scene.
