Incredible boring drama cheese-fest from start to end

Rating: 3/10 (30 August 2014)

I have no idea why this movie has more stars than the 1998 American Godzilla version - in comparison that one was extremely stupid, but at least entertaining in it's corniness and did not focus as much on over the top drama. It's a monster movie, not a disaster movie!
I was actually quite excited when the movie started out in Japan and thought it might be so clever as to have it play there - but sadly it changed and went to US...
Godzilla is just a side character, rarely seen in 130minutes the movie mostly focuses on irrelevant rubbish like human side characters (in the most overdone American disaster movie way - looking into the sky with awe waiting for the monster to blow something up..etc), Infantry soldiers preparing to fight the monsters with handguns, or KIDS ...yeey maybe next movie we'll have "the son of Godzilla". WHat is it with American movies and kids that never die... wouldn't it be for once a twist that the kid dies and the father/mother goes out for revenge? Change it up Hollywood! Make me actually give a crap!
The lead character is completely pointless and the movie would have massively benefited from cutting this guy out (die as kid in the first half) and shifting focus on to the Japanese scientist and the lead characters father (the only characters you actually get to know and care about, a bit)!
I watch a Godzilla Movie to be entertained, to laugh at its corniness and not to TRY to root for some random characters I am supposed to feel for but instead wish every second of the movie to die so I can actually see the monsters instead of some forceful rubbish "human disaster drama"
Besides this the military is at its most stupid - beating in its stupidity its predecessors in the classic Godzilla movies, and even the 1998 version...
No real plot twists, predictable...
The only thing worth watching of this movie is the CGI/Mattepainting and about 5 minutes of monster fights at the end.
What a disappointment and waste of time!...so bad I actually felt compelled to write this review....
