Not good in my book.

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2014)

Its a meh. I actually fell asleep in the 2nd act. I actually went to see this because 'Heisenberg' from 'Breaking Bad' is in it but they kill him off early. Bad move there because he is the best actor in the film. Very much a let down because I enjoyed Bryan Cranston's performance immensely. As far as the Godzilla design is concerned, my kids say he looks 'fat' as compared to the original Japanese versions and the classic Godzilla roar is noticeably off. What is curious is how in the trailers they conveniently use the original/traditional roar and then they pull the carpet out from under you in the actual film. Note to Hollywood producers: Don't fix something that isn't broken! One has to expect they will change the look of the Keiju to make it fitting in these CGI times. However, the roar of Godzilla is not negotiable. It would be like if they changed the sound of the light saber. It just wouldn't be the same. That is how I felt with this. In fact, the first time Godzilla roars, I felt confused. Like perhaps my hearing was off. I was reminded of similar feelings when I saw Godzilla 1998. Not good. It is what it is. Hope to have better luck next week with X-Men: Days of Future Past!
