Godzilla cameo's in Hollywood's latest attempt!

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2014)

This visually stunning blockbuster is Hollywood's second attempt at cashing in on the success of the greatest film monster ever know... Godzilla!
As we all know, the 90's version was hilarious for all the wrong reasons and should have actually black listed Hollywood from ever being allowed to do remakes ever again.
Mind you, that should have happened with the 80's cartoon of Godzilla...
So here we are again, with the finest in CGI and all in the hands of new director Gareth Edwards who shot to fame with his indie hit, Monsters.
Personally, Monsters bored the sh*t out of me and it took me a number of years to get through it without turning it off after 20 minutes. The problem I found with that, seems to have drifted in to this, and that is where lies the failure.
Focused more on the human side and drama of his stories, Edwards fails to recognise that Godzilla is the hero, the titular character, and above all, the star of any Godzilla movie.
This in turn leaves us with a beautifully made film about the US army (yay) who take on alien creatures intent on destroying the planet (or the US at least).
Oh yeah, and there is a cameo by Godzilla.
