A Disaster of a Movie.

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2014)

No need for any spoiler alerts here, there is nothing to spoil. After watching Gareth Edwards' film, Monsters, I had high hopes that Godzilla would go beyond the formula and the clichés. It is a soulless film that does not garner any emotion. In a few scenes it attempts to mimic the suspense and drama of Jurassic Park, but even fails at that. It is fraught with so many problems, I can't begin to list them all. Even if the screenplay had a chance at one point, my guess is that too many studio execs and too many focus groups destroyed any hope for originality. No suspense. No emotional connection. No reason to see this film, unless you want to study what not to do. From shallow, one-dimensional characters that nobody cares about to inconsistent special effects, it really is a disaster of a movie.
