Godzilla in a supporting role? Why?

Rating: 6/10 (17 May 2014)

The trailer made me think this is a movie half-between Cloverfield and King Kong pushed to the limits to meet the known giant, the king of Monsters. The biggest creature ever in a movie.
Well... while Godzilla is incredibly amazing when HE is in action, it lacks something that Cloverfield had. That feeling of being afraid of being ripped in a second, no matter how much you're trying to escape. The suspense is lacking somehow except in the beginning of the movie.
The scenes of people being in panic are close compared to Transformers 1, 2012 or World War Z. It's a replay of chaos in the streets that nowadays gets a bit un- touching.
The scenario? The "Clichés" are there. So if you dislike the American blockbusters, don't take it bad.
Despite these negative feelings, Kudos to the FX team who made Godzilla proud of its name. When he is on the screen, you're blown up by the immensity of the GOD- like reptile being a fearless beast.
But the creature is not so present on the screen. Poor Godzilla, he will eventually get an award for the best supporting role in a movie that bears his name. 6/10
