Slow and boring

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2014)

I had high hopes for this Godzilla incarnation. While I didn't hate the Matthew Broderick version, I did see it as a cheesy disaster flick. This one is supposed to have more heart. It's terrible.
First off Brian Cranston is not in the movie for as long as the ad campaign would have you believe. The actual main character, Ford, is so vanilla a character and actor that I have trouble recalling what he looks like less than 2 hours after seeing the film, I doubt I could pick him out of a lineup.
The Monsters are excellently done, the have the feel of a man in a suit and realistic at the same time. Godzilla's design is a lot better than the last go, but it doesn't have the character that the old Toho suit did.
All in all, skip it, you can catch it on netflix.
