Godzilla is 2D experience not worth the cost of 3D or IMAX 3D

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2014)

I first saw the Godzilla trailer watching Captain American and thought; OMG, IMAX! I always have a quick peek on IMDb spoiler-free reviews before actually going to see a movie. Having seen all the one stars it made me curious and so I paid for regular 2D instead of IMAX which is actually less than half the price. I am so relieved. Godzilla bombed!
I know you probably liked the trailer as did I. The excitement surrounding this movie is rife. The movie just doesn't cut it though, not by a long shot. It's a marketing gimmick... Godzilla greatest monster malarkey... drama, fighting, action... n to the o - NO!
The trailer is the end. Believe what you read when they say you only see Godzilla for 10 minutes throughout the entire movie. And yes it matters, we paid to see Godzilla after all. A good human story would have been a bonus.
The battle scenes are cleverly cut in that we know the monsters are fighting but they are not played out on screen for us to enjoy. The focus is always put back on the human story, which is weak, boring & forgettable.
You probably feel compelled to watch this movie regardless of what you read here but I would recommend the cheapest ticket as it's likely you will feel a level of disappointment and/or regret.
You get 90% boring human story and 10% Godzilla. Not worth extra cash IMAX, nor 3D. Yet 2D is shown sparsely whilst the others are pushed in our faces. Thank you one star reviewers, I would have been so p'd off. Not simply because I'd have felt robbed but my high expectations of this movie would have been crushed. Somehow I don't care for the price I paid.
This movie is borderline rental. It will make millions only because the trailer tricks us and it's Godzilla, nothing more. Don't believe the hype, it's not real unless I'm missing something.
This movie is 5 at best for special effects and the short time we get some Godzilla action. I have given 3 because it's so minimal.
The movie is overall boring.
Thanks for reading :D
