B-movie material

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2014)

This movie is so unbearably bad. The only reason why I don't resent the producers for having misguided me into watching it in a theatre, is the fact that my friend and I laughed so much with the absurdity of it.
There are so many plot holes that it is easy to say this movie has no particular plot. Godzilla shows up after the first hour of the film to save humanity(!) from giant moth-like monsters who are the actual villains of the film. The plans humanity makes to fight this monster have no purpose and defy logical explanation. In general, the leaps this movie makes to move on with the story are too far fetched for anyone over the age of 7 years old to believe. And even then, the plot devices are the greatest clichés cinema has to offer.
Furthermore, at some point the movie decides to move the monsters to America for no apparent reason. It seems that Tokyo isn't enough to cause us distress over its destruction. We need to see Americans suffer and run for their lives. And of course American soldiers are the only ones capable of saving our innocent lives. Well that way of thinking did nothing for me. Although I did shed tears of laughter with the unconcerned wife of the main character, whose husband is in the middle of a nuclear event and after a phone call to some office she continues living her life without a care in the world, even though her husband had just returned from being in a war zone for 14 months. With so much love I think I might be moved by this film after all. Especially since all actors lack acting skills and have the inconceivable variety of one facial expression per actor.
Did I mention that Godzilla was actually a secondary character? Or that our protagonist shoots at a giant bug with a shotgun? So many fine points in this film. The only reason why someone should watch it is if they want to have a laugh or play a drinking game. Every time the script is wrong or cliché drink. You'll be wasted halfway through the film.
