This movie is a joke

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2014)

Well, where do I start. I went to this movie without to much hope, but after seeing the trailer and having seen pacific rim I had the feeling that it had potential to be good. Well, it wasn't. The trailer make it out to be this mystical and realistic movie. Basically the trailer contains every scene worth watching, the rest of the movie is just visual "lorem ipsum". Let's not forget how it totally make Bryan Cranston out to be a leading role in the movie. Instead he has about 20 minutes of screen time.
The first beginning of the movie was actually pretty good, but after Bryan Cranston's death the movie turns into a rolling train-wreck. The total lack of plot, character development, realism and good acting doesn't make it anymore interesting. The rest of the characters are so uninteresting that I mostly wanted them to die so I would have a reason to care about them. The worst is possibly the immortal main character, who seem to keep one single facial expression through the entire movie. It doesn't help that his facial expression looks like a mix between Kristen Stewart and Jaden Smith. The absent of realism and focus on any other country isn't helping either. Pacific Rim did that right, it included a lot of nations. It appealed to the audience outside of the states. But in this movie Godzilla doesn't even show his face in Japan.
The movie continuous on with different sets of flaws to the very end. You sit there hoping for some sort of redeeming quality that you can take with you when the movie ends, but there just isn't any. The worst part of the movie must have been in the end where the main character has this "standoff" with the female Muto, it was so stupid and unnecessary that it made me cringe. Even my friend who invited me to see this film fell asleep. If they just had invested time into the story and characters this movie could have been really good. Instead they barely give the good actors like Brayan Cranston and Ken Watanabe any playtime and spends more time focusing on this dull main character than Godzilla himself.
