so-so overall

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2014)

i'm a huge Godzilla fan just to get that out of the way. i have been since i was a kid and my father would show me the old Toho movies in our basement. i was so excited when i heard they were doing a new Godzilla, and it would be American, and we could FINALLY have a replacement for that terrible piece of junk they made in the 90s. the trailer came out and it looked pretty good so I couldn't wait. then I went to see it opening night and overall I thought it was just so-so. I was a little disappointed because you barely even saw Godzilla really. there was so much time spent talking about it, and almost seeing it, it was just kind of annoying in the end. when you finally did see Godzilla though it looked great. the effects were pretty good and the destruction was perfect. but I didn't like any of the main actors so much because I didn't believe their performances. oh well. I'm sure there will be a sequel and maybe they will finally 100% get it right the next time!!!
