Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (21 May 2014)

The movie starts at a good pace as the major stars are introduced. Juliette Binoche lasts all of 15 minutes. Bryan Cranston is around for another 20 minutes. Ken Watanabe was great in Letter from Iwo Jima, but in Godzilla played a very flat character. The rest of the cast was very bland. The CGI was outstanding as the monsters all looked ferocious and looked great against the cityscapes - this is not your 1950s-60s Godzilla movie. As I said the movie started at a good pace, and was very excited. But as the story dragged on so did my excitement. By the end I was as disappointed as its prior re-boot. The MUTO's I found were looking like a mix of Cloverfield and the smaller parasites that was on it - a huge bug with an attitude. Them eating the nukes were laughable and quite stupid. I, being a big Godzilla fan, was extremely disappointed - I do hope the next reboot will come from Japan, because as campy as those films are - they are 100 times better. And lastly - since when does ordinance disposal soldiers do HALO jumps? Really?
