not enough monster!

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2014)

Really love Zilla, always have , I still remember staying up watching the original in black and white but I have to say come on guys, too many actors that we are suppose to be getting these ah ha moments from (but rarely come,) and not enough true monster flick> When Godzilla was on screen he was fantastic, but there just was not enough of him the other monsters got more air time than he did! And what was with wasting some of the awesome acting talents of some these actors, Ken ended up looking a bit weak and was basically put in the position of being this spacey looking old school fan of the great monster and reduced too dramatic one liners but that is never developed, and Brain ( though effectively emotional and smart ends up looking a bit fruity , and the acting talents of Juliana were wasted on too brief a part. SO many actors , all a bit scattered. then the focus goes round and round with the military which end up looking a bit disorganized and somewhat inefficient and then we are to focus on the quiet , emotionally scared son of our resident loony scientist who is suppose to be sort of our hero figure but doesn't really make that work because well he's just a bit too how do we say "stiff". Godzilla should always be the real focus and he almost gets lost here . You want to watch , the last half hour 45 mins are the best. By the way did anyone notice Zilla 's roar was not exactly what is should be?? Come on guys, with a monster like that you could have done a bit better!
