Just a bit better than the old American Godzilla "movie".

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2014)

Readers beware, MAJOR SPOILERS.
So, I went to watch Godzilla some days ago and what I expected was not what I saw. First of all, let me tell you that the trailer was really misleading and Bryan Cranston who I wanted to see more didn't even get 20 minutes of screen time. Also, Watanabe is someone else that I like and he didn't appear for more than 20 minutes either with little to no scenario.
But that should be great because Godzilla is about Godzilla fighting other monsters that feed on radiation and kick ass right? Wrong. The rest of the movie should have been like that but it was not. Seriously, they sent the Monsters to the US and showed the American army taking over the case to fight the monsters and such, failing at every level since Godzilla did everything in the end, but still were there. For 1 hour all you saw were stupid plans that you knew wouldn't work, the forgettable main actor that did nothing but watch and the two MUTOs along with Godzilla trying to reach their destination. Of course, near the end, we got what we wanted with Godzilla literally destroying the female and male MUTOs only to be acknowledged as a hero and go back to the sea for sleeping after his goal of natural balance is finished.
I would give this movie an 8 at best since I didn't really dislike it but I really hated the way they tried showing American nationalism and how the Americans kick ass or tried to kick ass. Just like the Transformers movies.
Other than that, if you want to see Bryan Cranston, don't watch it. If you want to see Ken Watanabe, don't watch it. If you want to see Godzilla being awesome for more than 40 minutes, don't watch it. If you hate Japan and believe that having this Godzilla movie take part in the U.S. will make it great and you want to see 'Murica, go ahead and watch it.
The overall movie was OK but no more than just OK. Forgettable and useless characters where the monsters were cameos in their own movies. Too bad that no sequel with match the original Godzilla. That would be because the original came out for a reason at that time and not just for money.
