Hard to Enjoy What Can't be Seen

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2016)

My hubby and I like watching old Godzilla movies -- the cheese is just wonderful and the monsters so silly. I can't say whether or not this movie is very cheesy or the monsters silly because at least half the movie is in darkness! What few glimpses of the monsters we had seemed in line with the old films, silly and huge. The attempt to make an interesting human story underneath the entire monster fight scenes felt contrived; the humans could have been removed from the movie and it would have only made a shorter film. The acting wasn't bad but it was pointless because in all honesty, there isn't anything a mere human or human military could do against such creatures if they aren't making a personal connection with them. I have never checked my clock as often with any other Godzilla movie. Bored out of our minds.
