Utterly pointless film. Worse than the previous Godzilla film

Rating: 4/10 (8 September 2014)

Watched this on the plane to the US last week. So caveat my experiences reflect watching it on a small screen. Probably not the ideal environment for a big screen film.
The film should have been a jokey B movie update. But it tries to be a 'modern' reboot of Godzilla and fails. Silly pretext for Godzilla in the first place. The Nuclear reactor setting at the start of the book pointless and lacks any sort of real emotion.
The Japanese/US link never really explained as to why the US army is managing the Godzilla 'eggs'. So many plot holes it's unreal. I think what sinks the film is really a lack of direction. The action scenes are confusing and mostly uninspiring. The monsters themselves are fantastic. Really well imagined, but the fight scenes are mostly boring without any sort of real drama.
