Oh no...

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2014)

The most anticipated movie of the summer. I'm shocked. Broken. Cannot get over it. That is why I write this review, that maybe this will restore my emotional balance. OK, here it goes. This movie is bad. There you go I said it. I read some of the reviews up here on IMDb and I cannot help but wonder: did we watch the same movie? Or all those people giving the movie 10 or 8 stars could have been seeing a special edition that was better? No I tell you what happened. Those people know that this movie sucks too. They just want to like it so much that they make themselves believe that this was the "Best monster movie ever!!!" No folks. It ain't. But then again, who can blame those people? Many of other reviewers talked about the story and the plot holes already, so I'm not gonna get into that, all I'm saying that the movie is absolutely awesome till Brian Cranston's character dies. That is the first 20 minutes or so. After that the movie falls apart by focusing on boring ass human characters, and two other creatures that are looking like the exact copies of the Cloverfield monster. Why?! Oh God why?! I really try to understand the reason behind these "creative" decisions. But I fail. The trailer looked so damn good. Moreover, Gareth Edwards is an intelligent, if not an original filmmaker. Monster proved it. He knows what the audience needs! He is a bit calculating, but again, the industry is full with just plain bad directors. His approach is more than welcomed! If the movie turns out the same thing what was suggested (lied) to us in the trailer, now that could be the best monster movie ever! I was so bored. Really people, whoever reading this review I wish you knew me! Because if you did you would understand what does that, "I was bored on a monster movie" means! My relatives would have a seizure if they heard about this! I'm the biggest monster fan! Love Godzilla! I collect monster figures for Christ's sakes!!! I almost walked out from a Godzilla movie! The characters are boring, the monsters are not interesting, you don't see a real fight and when you do, it is not epic enough. The movie is over 2 hours long! I understand that Gareth Edwards wanted to tease us like Spielberg did in Jaws! I really do! But this is not teasing! This was literally pissing in our faces! My girlfriend, who is scared senseless even from the lightest thriller, said she wasn't scared, or worried, or even alive during the entire movie! Ah, people I stop writing this. I feel tired. I feel tired of the blockbuster season every year, there are these awesome looking movies coming out, and then they turn out to be terrible. Movies are not what they were. Real creative people not even getting close to directing anymore, and money people making the decisions. The movie gets 3 stars from me 1 for the first 20 minutes with Brian Cranston & Juliette Binoche, 2 for the design of Godzilla, and 3rd that the Olsen girl is so beautiful that it hurts. See it if you must, but brace yourself you won't believe your eyes. It is that bad. :(
