Godzilla, the savior of humanity

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2016)

This movie is sadly a big pile of rubbish. I like actions movies, and oddly enough I also like (super) Monster movies as well, but this just turns out to be one more of those movies where the entire focus is put into making nice effects and cool 3D but where the rest of the movie, like actual plot and development suffer greatly.
(spoiler alert) They claim at first that post WW2 nuclear testing was actually an attempt at killing Godzilla, yet they never explain how that battle ends, or how they got Godzilla "to go away", clearly they didn't obliterate it since it magically comes back to life, apparently without any trace of memory of the fact that humans tried to nuke it.
After MUTO first hatches and flies away, the US Navy states the obvious, that they need to 'find it', one would think it not too hard considering its size and human's relatively competent surveillance and searching capabilities (satellites) added to the fact that MUTO kills all electronics around it (can't be too hard locating elements on the grid suddenly going off-line, following an obvious geographical logic, as in, it travels, most likely away from the point of origin, not to mention it's highly radioactive).
Godzilla suddenly becomes not the monster everyone fears, but the equalizer of the natural order, his existence being only justifiable as being the counter-force to MUTO's. So when MUTO magically appeared many years ago, did Godzilla as well? Why was Godzilla the only monster around during the nuclear testing 'past'? Or did the egg-laying MUTO just manage to stay below radar before disappearing into thin air?
In this 'aim', to destroy the MUTO's, Godzilla just casually becomes humans' "natural" ally, he lets ships cruise next to him without disturbance, he goes the extra mile to avoid any human casualties, such as diving under boats in his way instead of straight through as one would expect, he even protects innocent people on a bridge by inserting himself between it and a wall of ill-fired airborne missiles and the way in which he finally takes care of the MUTO's to then leave, was done in a way to insinuate he was protecting the humans and nature of the dangers of over-sized, nuclear monsters.
In the filming, most of the focus is set not on the monsters, but rather as seen through the eyes of the terrified humans. We feel cheated at times, when Godzilla first meets and confronts a MUTO, we can only see it through snippets from News channels and the ruins the day after (instead of showing you what actually happened, they figured you'd just have to imagine it yourself, fill in the blanks). We don't care to see how panicked people get, we want to see monsters going at each other!
Oh, and to show some "deepness", the symbolism of the son becoming an anti-bomb guy, wow, now that's profound thinking.
A complete and utter flop!
