Not entertained...

Rating: 3/10 (28 August 2014)

For a movie rated close to 7 out of 10 it was certainly a major let down. Too little Godzilla for a Godzilla movie, overly dramatic protagonists and, what is worse, a ridiculous plot! The story was expected to be simple (let's face it, one would expect good visual effects, at least one fearsome monster, protagonists who would rise up to the challenge, devastation and either a happy - NOT CHEESY! - ending or an apocalypse), but instead it was rather confusing and off-putting. I had a feeling during the entire movie that things happened "just because" the movie had to somehow end the way it did. There was no natural flow of events. There is too little explanation about what happens. Hence it is difficult to be part of the experience and enjoy the movie.
In a few words, this movie does not qualify as an entertaining action movie about a legendary monster. The real battle will be about yourself trying to watch all 2 hours of it. Good luck with that.
A generous 3/10 from me just because Godzilla looked like the original monster and because I have seen worse.
