Not exactly the "Godzilla" movie I was expecting...

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2014)

So O.K., Godzilla is making a ton of money at the box office. So O.K., Godzilla has a great script. But something is missing. GODZILLA! "GODZILLA" doesn't appear for most of the movie. But the movie is named "GODZILLA" it's about him, right? So where is he? It turns out that GODZILLA is a bit player in his own movie. It's like having a movie called "DRACULA" and Dracula only appears in the last 10 minutes. The movie feels flat and very downbeat in attitude. There's a definite lack of dynamism in the whole production. In other words, it doesn't move you. I really did not care what happened to the characters on the screen. Compare this movie to the vastly superior "Pacific Rim" where the scene of the little Japanese girl running away from the huge monster in Japan had a definite impact on me. The acting in Godzilla was horrible. The fighting scenes between the monsters were boring. Who cares. Boring. When I start to think I could have done a better job in directing and producing a movie I'm seeing, there's something wrong with the movie. Go watch "PACIFIC RIM".
