Godzilla is Big, its a 'Big' disappointment!

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2014)

It has been one of the big challenges for 'Hollywood' in recent decades to make a truly epic 'Godzilla' movie. They can make huge disaster movies, with multi-million dollar budgets and an all star cast yet when it comes to this Japanese legend, nothing seems to work. The previous attempt in 1998, was heavily criticised yet was a decent movie with a good cast. Now we have this modern day hugely hyped up monster movie which only offers more of the same. The film seems to follow an over complicated story line which fails to convince and as you wait for 'Him' to finally appear, it's lost in overly long action sequences and poor dialogue. The only plus is 'Elisabeth Olsen' who like most female leads in disaster movies, is under used. I never go into a movie believing the hype or buying into a pre-conceived idea of what it is going to be. I just watch it as a movie comparing it to my expectations based on the genre. Sadly what we have here is no more than an over glamorised B-rate movie with a big budget and a legend it fails to live upto!!!!
