Matinée Monster

Rating: 1/10 (17 May 2014)

Dear potential Godzilla watcher.
This movie will feel more merciful to watch if you don't pay full price. The special/fx effect and concept artists gave it their best and can easily be admired on a big screen if you're into that...
But that's it.
The script is riddled with plot-holes and luckcidents. Every character is a stereo type so outdated it hurts, it's almost worse that the cardboard cutouts featured in Roland Emmerich's movies... Listen to these: 2x Scientist knowitalls who no one listens to 1x The American Military hero 2x Wives in distress 3x Endangered kid closeups on; a bus, train and on a beach 1x Old angry officer with white hair and a mean face. 1x Highly "distraught cute dog." Bryan Cranston isn't the main character, he has no arch and no payoff. He hardly makes it out of the 1st act.
And what's up with BAD parents? The only beings in this movie who seem to care about their offspring are the "evil" monsters...
Sigh... This movie was rated 9,2/10 when I saw it first... Must have been all that army personnel they rented for this crap.
