Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2014)

Went to see it with awfully high expectations and ended up being terribly disappointed.
I wouldn't say it's as bad as the 1998 Roland Emmerich crap fest, but still this Godzilla has no soul.
I'm aware monster movies are supposed to be campy entertainment, and that's what I wanted to see!, I have no friggin' idea what Gareth Edwards intentions were!, the film is bland, boring, badly paced, the human characters are stupid and non sensical, and the monsters lack any real punch, even Gojira himself seemed overweight and weak, and the idea to make him a sort of antihero didn't work at all!
I grew up on all the Japanese movies from the 50's 60's and 70's and I can honestly say, as "bad" and corny and cheap as they may seem, they had more heart and authenticity than this version, still cannot fathom how this one has so many positive reviews!, half the audience at the theater was bored as hell halfway across the movie, and the worst part is they gave the lamest explanation for Gojira's genesis, in other words, I'm as ignorant as its origins as I was before going in to see the film.
