Despite having three instead of one, it still fails to deliver the thrills.

Rating: 4/10 (2 June 2014)

Having loved its 1998 version with few sequences resembling the JURRASIC PARK series, I was pretty much excited to see this new upgraded version of the giant after more than a decade and so were the kids eager to see the monster on the screen in 3D. But sadly the experience turned out to be quite weird, since the film was completely different from the expectations raised and went on a surprisingly contrasting path dealing with nuclear plants, radiations, scientific researches and heavy gadgets instead of the monster.
In fact the most amusing news is that this time we don't have one but two distinctive varieties of Godzillas (3 in numbers) who fight with each other as rivals. The original monster we saw in the 1998 version plays the 'Good hearted Godzilla" coming out as a savior killing the other two, only to return back into the sea probably for a long rest before the next sequel. Interestingly this second type here is called MUTO which means"Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism" looking like some giant grasshoppers with thin legs. However what hurts the most is that despite having 3 instead of 1, there is no creature to be seen in a major part of the film, especially in the initial hour talking all about the radiations and nuclear energy.
Beginning well with some stunning 3D visuals and a brilliant emotional sequence between the couple in the nuclear plant (well enacted), the film goes on and on without introducing the hero (i.e. the Godzilla) for an hour or so. Plus it doesn't offer many exciting or entertaining moments later too, even in the giant fights painfully designed by the exceptional graphics team. As a result GODZILLA remains a major disappointment for most of its time with only occasional good sequences coming at intervals.
In short, after AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2 this is another high on technique and low on content much awaited project delivering quite less than what was being expected. It has some amazing 3D graphics but remains a non- performer on the entertainment level right till the end, unfortunately. On a lighter note, even the kids said that they wished to see GODZILLA much more than just in a small guest role.
And as one of my friends said, the film can easily be summed up as, "250 Ki Ticket Mein, Bas 35 Rupaye Ka Godzilla!"
