King of the Monsters, savior of our city? Or 9/11 as monster version with good outcome?

Rating: 2/10 (1 September 2014)

That is the end line of the movie, and it's as ridiculous as the movie itself. Well, what happens? Some strange "anomalies" in Japan some 15 years ago, climaxing in the rebirth of Muto(s), then Godzilla appearing on the scene fighting the Mutos, some US military efforts to stop them and the usual "hero" who miraculously seems to be everywhere where it counts, but who is in fact a completely blood less guy. Ah, and two big movie stars in neglectable roles, Binoche with three minutes, Strathairn maybe with twice the screen time. This movie really seems like 9/11 as monster story with good outcome, Godzilla being the "god" that saves the people. Of course, again tons of US military and the Mutos do appear in the USA, where else. This movie is Hollywood CGI trash with no real story, lacking characters (neither the main character nor anyone else is developing, Watanabe just looks shocked and curious, alternately), just packs (again for movies of such type) everything and every cliché in the story, be it every conceivable action or scenes like family reunion and lost little kids and has no chance against Godzilla from 1998. This version may not hold on to the original, but it's still better, with some funny moments and good actors. The 2014 version has nothing, I really mean nothing to offer.
