To the movie: I don't think that in recent years I've seen a worse movie. I presume all the budget money was spent on CGI and getting the actors to agree to doing this stupid movie. Cranston, the only actor who seems to be eager to make his role look good is killed off after just 20 minutes. The rest of the cast is just wandering about with one expression on their faces. All characters are completely empty, no emotions and even when some come, they are cheesy and not authentic. There is literally no character development whatsoever. Most of what is happening is happening just for the heck of it. No logic, no sense, no nothing. No plot even. Godzilla herself (or himself) has painfully little screen time. On the other hand, the other creatures are there a lot. Godzilla actually acts here as the protector of all people, but the way it is done is just stupid. And they are boring as hell. They look unimaginative and they act accordingly. Camera-work is empty, music, although not bad is unimpressive, given the fact, that the movie has no atmosphere, no tension whatsoever. In most movies there are moments where you go: "Ah come on, now that's a bit far fetched." or "Come on, that's stupid/illogical/unlikely/borderline stupid" In this movie, These two, and other lines were constantly on mi mind.
End result: 1) If you want to go watch a monster movie just for the sheer fun of monster movies, go ahead. It's dumb, but there are monsters. And nice CGI.
2) If you want to go watch a movie, that's dark, atmospheric, tense and smart, run as far as you can from this, because this movie is as close to those characteristics, as I am to a hot sexy supermodel. Yes - worlds apart. Universes even. The trailer was a great lie. That scene jumping scene, is the only one, that bares any resemblance to atmosphere.
3) If you want to see a lot of army guys doing something, but really not that much, aside from prancing around and being there, go ahead. This is more about the army than it is about any monsters.
Oh and I forgot, the whole story about Godzilla, what it is, what the other monsters are and what they are doing is so utterly stupid, that I actually laughed out loud, when they said it. The only thing that beats it in sheer stupidity are the temporarily mutated neutrinos heating up the earths core in 2012.
The only reason I'm giving it a 1, is because there is no 0, otherwise I would give it. Simply said - if you value intelligence, quality and stuff that makes sense, there is only one thing I can say: Run Forrest, RUN!!!
