Rating: 2/10 (5 July 2014)

Bryan Cranston was the only bright spot in the movie.
(Q) How I felt about the movie ?
It started off well. In fact I would say the first 30 minutes or so, was the best part of the movie. This says a lot about the movie since there were no creature effects in that duration. I love the science fiction / horror/ thriller genres and hoped to see plenty of creature stuff. I did not expect to see a movie from the drama genre. It was a developing plot and I said "Okay, let's see how it goes.".
(Q) what was i really expecting to see ?
I was hoping to see plenty of action. Among it raw gore, plain carnality, lots of destruction/damage of property. You know carnage (read: destruction of tanks, fighter jets, ships, bridges, buildings, etc.). A good boss fight in the end would be welcome but definitely not expected.
Let us face it. Godzilla is a monster and I certainly did not expect it to know its manners and leave after finishing off the two monsters waving goodbye to the people around it. It even took care not to step over anyone while it was leaving. Like a true hero, who did not even wait for people to applaud for him.
(Q) What really got me annoyed/fuming about the movie ?
The plot. I mean what the hell was happening out there. Why the hell do I care about Ford Brody's wife or his son and what they do. Did I pay to see a drama ? No, I paid to see a monster flick.
The other scenes of Ford Brody with that Japanese kid and soldiers were equally exasperating. I was like "Get out of my face." I was literally cringing whenever Ford Brody or his family made an appearance.
I thought the plot was really stupid.
a) Why wasn't the entire city which ended up as the meeting place evacuated before the battle began ?
b) Why do you have to fight a monster with plenty of people on a bridge ? What sort of army/police allows this to happen ?
c) Why can't you move your ships out of the way to prevent them from getting destroyed when you know not one but three monsters are coming there ? This after having ships follow Godzilla wherever it went (like paparazzi for celebrities)
d) Why did Godzilla want to destroy the two other monsters and again its eggs ? How did Godzilla know where the monsters were going and what they intended to do ? Why does Godzilla let those follower ships follow him wherever he goes ?
e) When you decide to let Godzilla kill the two monsters why do you have to let the monsters get even anywhere close to armed bombs, knowing fully well your own army is helpless ?
f) Why does Godzilla love to fight in the dark and only in the dark ?
g) What was the need for so many unnecessary characters in the movie who you could have really done without ?
h) Did you really have to do the mating and 'nest in the city' thing ? I mean can't we have Godzilla simply destroy the monsters just because they threatened his existence rather than Godzilla act as mankind's savior and destroy the monster colonies ?
(Q) What was the most disappointing part of the movie for me ?
a) Ken Watanabe (such a waste of his talent !!)
b) Thought the movie had plenty of potential and it being reduced to nothing.
