Not Nearly Enough Godzilla

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2014)

This Godzilla movie while a refreshing call back to the old Japanese movies, still failed to deliver a good Godzilla movie. While not nearly as bad as the Broderick movie, this Godzilla movie was still poorly done.
When one goes to see a giant monster movie, do we really need to see the actions of one or two humans? They had giant monsters fighting in cities, but where they went wrong is the constantly refocusing onto the human actors. The monsters were enough. There was no reason to focus on the humans, and quite frankly they annoyed the heck out of me. If it had just been Godzilla invading a city, then it would have been fine to have some focus dedicated to the human defenders. But this movie would have been so much better if they had kept the focus on Godzilla and the giant monster fight.
The other thing that confused me at least was the ending. What was with the attempt to make Godzilla out to be the world's white blood cell? He's a giant monster. We don't need to think of him as some giant Superman. It was pointless and seemed just to be there to create some kind of touchy-feely ending which was unneeded.
