Would have been 0 but FX raised the bar

Wow, just wow.
To put this review in perspective I like the last Godzilla movie with Matthew Broderick and Jean Reno. It was a little quirky, very clichéd but it somehow clicked and I found it quite watchable.
This Godzilla on the other hand was poorly acted, had no coherent storyline and lacked any charm whatsoever. The lead character, Ford, was so wooden he was in danger of getting a bad case of white ant (presumably why they had him in protective gear for a lot of the movie). The writing was simply abysmal, as has been stated in many of the other reviews, and full of plot holes so big you could fit a MUTO through. I mean fancy putting a nuke on a train on the tracks right past a monster that wants to eat it.
The only redeeming point of this movie is that the monsters are big and reasonably well done with lots of destruction, if that floats your boat.
To cap this tedious movie off, you have to sit through over two hours and be left cheering Godzilla on to kill the baddies just so the movie can end. Don't watch it, go and watch the last one again, it will be time better spent.
