Just terrible.

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2014)

I was always apprehensive going to watch the newest version of Godzilla because I didn't really appreciate the 1998 film. Having said that the thought of Bryan Cranston being the main character within in the film (Well, as the adverts suggested) was enough for me to go and see it. I'm sat here now wishing I hadn't paid to see such an elongated, thin plotted, absolute waste of millions. The film started promising with suggestions of the beast that would eventually rip apart the entire world and looked to have an explanation as how a giant lizard could inhabit the earth. The film starts with Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) and Sandra Brody (Juliette Bionche) going to work in their power plant, an 'earthquake' means that Sandra dies so prematurely that to be honest, I couldn't have cared less. The film was then single handed carried by Bryan Cranston until his again premature death and at that point the film died when Bryan did. Aaron Taylor-Johnson took over as the cliché macho lead man and was about as wooden as an oak tree. The film just became increasingly pointless and full of drawn out 'dramatic' moments that just don't go with a film that is essentially about a giant lizard. The writing became lazy and cringe like and Ford (Aaron) seemed to be a terminator the amount of blasts and falls he survives, which I could have been okay with if the film had just settled for what it was supposed to be, an action film not an action-adventure-drama-romantic- fantasy film. But by far the most ridiculous part of the film was the giant moth couple who kiss at one point and having Godzilla be the 'hero' of the film. At one point despite killing thousands of innocent people and destroying three cities Godzilla is announced 'Our saviour.' I honestly would not recommend this film to absolutely anyone! Everything about the film was just awful and I really don't know how I didn't walk out of the cinema.
