What a waste

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2014)

Godzilla followed a formula for building up the audience by teasing. It also kept the human connection to the story strong with the main family. If anyone expected Oscar-caliber acting in a monster flick should wake up.
What really ticked me off was that there was a total of perhaps 5 minutes of godzilla battling the other monsters. I wasn't expecting a start to finish flick with nothing but fighting, but come on. Once the fighting starts, I need more than a highlight reel, for God's sake.
The other thing that ticked me off how the director filmed the monster fight at night and with dust thick in the air. This kind of technique is what I'd expect from a movie with a low budget where they're trying to hide bad fx. As you'll see, when they *do* show clear shots of the monsters, the cgi was impeccable. So what were they thinking?
This movie was like teasing a hungry German shepher with a thick new york strip. When feeding time comes, you only give him enough bits and pieces to feed a parakeet.
Nice idea, bad execution.
