I want my money and the two wasted hours of my life back.

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2014)

(Be warned: spoilers ahead.) I'm not only disappointed, I feel cheated. The trailers led me to believe this was a remake of the classic original Godzilla movie from the 1950's. That movie featured Godzilla as a towering terror that attacked mankind. This movie embraces the very thing I disliked most about all subsequent Godzilla movies: Godzilla versus some ridiculous adversary. I don't want to see Godzilla as a superhero, I want to see him as he originally was, a menace. For all its flaws, at least the 98 version got that part right. In this version, Godzilla is just an afterthought, and he's trapped in a laughably stupid plot. Two giant cockroaches crawl out of the ground to mate, Godzilla hates cockroaches and stomps them, mankind gushes "My hero!" and Godzilla swims away. The End. Seriously?! What is it about Hollywood that few of its highly paid producers, directors and actors can understand the meaning of "remake"? Well, I'm done. I've learned my lesson. After this, I'm not spending my money on any more remakes.
