Really needed some decent actors! 6/10

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2014)

Review: I'm in 2 minds about this film! For a 2 hour film, you don't really see that much of Godzilla until near the end and the big showdown at the end was a bit difficult to work out. I liked the intense drama throughout the movie but the director got rid of the decent actors really early in the movie so your left with these B actors who look puzzled and confused most of the time. It really needed someone like Will Smith or Channing Tatum who could have brought some wit and action to the main character. The sets looked amazing and realistic, especially when the director pans out so you can see the total destruction of the city, but I was really disappointed with the corny ending. In all, it's a watchable movie which is entertaining and we'll put together, but they really need to get some decent actors if there going to come out with a sequel. Watchable!
Round-Up: The main character, whose played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, is mostly known for the Kick- Ass franchise so he was a weird choice for such a massive film. Personally I don't think that he was the right choice because he didn't really bring that much emotion to his character but thats just me being picky. Bryan Cranston played his father well and he brought some intensity to his role, especially when he was watching his wife through the door (trying not to spoiler), but there wasn't any other actors that stood out in the film. With all the attention to detail on the scenery, I wasn't that impressed with the look of Godzilla. He looked very plastic/rubbery which was surprising for this day and age. Anyway, it's definitely an epic movie which will look brilliant on a big screen and sound great with massive speakers, and judging by the movies takings, this is definitely a concept which will always be popular with Godzilla fans.
Budget: $160million Worldwide Gross: $525million (WOW!)
I recommend this movie to people who are into there epic movies about Godzilla taking on some nasty creatures. 6/10
