Not enough Bryan Cranston, Not enough scenes directly showing the monsters fighting and destroying and killing

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2014)

It was a mistake to kill Brian Cranston character Joe Brody so soon ... He was brilliant .and the 2 scientists and his son who continued on had very little to offer in the way of human drama.. Ford Brody's wife, Elizabeth Olsen, was the only other character who had some spark and yet she was given so little to do .. .. . Other points .. that the airport fight should have been shown ..I was disappointed just seeing it in the background news. ,,,,One more point ..When Godzilla gets to the Golden Gate Bridge ..They HAD to show the military fighting Godzilla with missiles and rockets and tanks for more than the few seconds they did...It needed to go on one minute more at least ...The military needed to be shown fighting the MUTOs as well... and failing .. Without an extended confrontation between the military and the monsters, you weaken the theme that Nature is far more powerful than mankind .. And another thing .. They needed to show the MUTOs in the process of wrecking cities and millions dying, instead of just the ruined buildings .. even if only for a minute or 2 here and there .. hundreds of thousands dying at least .. This movie needed this kind of horror to drive home the end of the world stakes in this film .. Yes . the atomic breath was awesome .. and the last fight was great .. but that still doesn't excuse the imperfections .. Better than 1998 version 50% to 20% on a percentage scale, but so what?! That movie was horrible .. The original Godzilla made in 1954 is still better and scarier at 85%!
