Godzilla saves the day in this 2014 remake.

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2014)

I feel like (spoilers) the movie would have been a heck of a lot more fun if Bryan Cranston had stared in the entire movie. But NOPE! Instead we get Aaron Taylor-Johnson who plays the most bland character out of every character in this movie (I felt more emotions from the MONSTERS instead of him!) Speaking of the monsters, they were SO COOL! Even if the part with Godzilla breathing fire was ridiculously convenient, let's face it, that scene was AWESOME! That's what the film has going for it. What it doesn't have going for it is that although I haven't seen too many monster movies in my life, the film does have a "been there, done that" sort of feel to it. What I mean by that is that the film had a lot of scenes involving kids in peril (who were HORRIBLE actors by the way) and involved the monsters attacking EVERY SINGLE MAJOR CITY! It was pretty much what Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was parodying. But overall, I liked this movie. The director knew what he wanted to do and achieved it, but at the same time didn't go above and beyond what was expected. Good job remaking Godzilla though!
