Tragically awful

Rating: 2/10 (17 May 2014)

This movie could have been really fun. The first 25 minutes were wonderful to behold and throughout there were many instances of eerily beautiful imagery. The fundamental ridiculousness of Godzilla is the main issue. A warder of the planet destroying ancient entities that harm the planet...needs another form. The film was so full of pretentious cinematic clichés, over indulgent militarism (are you really going to semi-auto weapons to hurt a monster 10 stories tall?), and battle scenes so poorly designed (one would think of an old sci-fi flick 'The Deadly Mantis'), that the start may have been the best part of this ride. The absurdity is in why these creatures exist and how their interaction with us mortals takes place. Nothing makes much rational sense after the first 25 minutes.
Bottom Line. Go at your own risk!!!
