Great effects, mediocre screenplay and acting

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2014)

First off, yes this movie is entertaining, but only the animated monster- fighting and the collapsing of buildings. The screenplay and acting seemed to me like they used 90% of the time making the Godzilla scenes and at the end remembered the scenes with actors and didn't have enough time to pull if off. Around me in the cinema I could hear laughing when emotional scenes were played, and I understood because it seemed parodic.
The actors seemed to have one or two facial expressions throughout the movie, monotone acting and just non-believable characters.
Made me wanna go home and watch cloverfield instead.
