Simply shocking

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2014)

I feel so strongly about how bad this film is I have registered with IMDb just to give me somewhere to air my views. Gosh, this is a bad film. From being about 45 minutes too long, to awful acting to a plot exhibiting so many flaws. The so called lead, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Ford Brody is woeful, so out of his depth he needs to concentrate on getting another role in Casualty on a Saturday evening. David Strathairn as Admiral Stenz - what can I say? These are just two, I could go on. Yes, the CGI is decent and the destruction caused by Godzilla and the two MUTO's is very good, but it represents two hours of my life I won't get back. Maybe it was a step too far for director Gareth Edwards. I liked his first film Monsters but maybe going from making a film in his bedsit to a big budget blockbuster was just too much at this early stage of his career.
