They killed the wrong Brody

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2014)

If only they had killed Bryan Cranston's son instead of Cranston this movie could have been redeemed. Aside from Cranston the entire cast is terrible. The token Japanese guy just gives onerous glares as if he just ate a week old burrito each time someone calls his name. The distraught wife is a complete waste and not necessary at all to the plot. Hey moron, why don't you leave your LG phone on vibrate while your husband is in peril across the world?
This movie has more plot holes and inconsistencies than I have ever seen. One of my favorites... after more than half of San Francisco is reduced to rubble they pan the camera into an office building. Everyone is quietly at their desk working away as calm as grazing cattle while buildings collapse outside their window. Hahaha. My other favorite is putting a nuclear missile on a slow moving train while a giant insect who can detect nuclear material from across the globe is roaming around in the same state. Another thing i didn't understand, why do the soldiers walk around buildings as if they're in Fallujah avoiding taliban? You guys are safe to plod around without checking corners, I think if Godzilla or those muto things are nearby you'll know it. There are numerous holes like this in the movie which have been already discussed but these are my favorites.
It is really sad that the movie started off incredibly for the first 30 minutes and then just collapsed along with the bridge on which Cranston met his demise. I give 5 stars for Cranston and the special effects. Negative 5 for the horrific acting, ultra weak plot, and glaring inconsistencies.
