How sad is this?

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Started out promising, some great cinematography, but rapidly devolved into American Action Movie Mess®Way too broad in scope, so the origin story is buried, shuffled past, and just too much is happening. The Hero is absolutely generic, in looks, as written, and has no acting ability at all. At least when we're promised the movie is full of Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche and he acts alongside one of them for a while. It sticks out. Action scenes are poorly done, so it's often hard to tell what is going on. Or, things make no sense. Or, it's just so dark you cannot tell anything is happening at all. Despite, apparently, thousands dead, there is no sense of consequences. The peril is told, not felt, not really shown. Maybe that's all they could get with PG13, but in that case: make a different movie. HORRIBLE continuity and accuracy. Forget plausibility, we can go with alternative histories and stuff, but the same buildings are destroyed multiple times, "EMPs" work when needed for the plot instead of on all devices, a clone of SFO is in Hawaii, and Yucca Mountain is in the hills outside San Francisco, the bay is a mile deep, and much more that is distractingly stupid and awful.

I loved it! Very suspenseful and exciting! This was the Godzilla movie I was waiting for and hoping for, but the ending is a little weak because it leads the door open for a possible sequel!

This film is the best drinking game. I shan't lie, me and my girlfriend got pissed watching this. Every time there is a cliche. Drink. Every time 'Sensei' pull the same face. Drink. Every time a child is used as emotional blackmail to make you feel any kind of emotion other than tooth pulling lameness. Drink. Just watch it with people with the sole intention of wasting the evening with intoxication. it'll pass the pain of it. No hard drugs though kids. All in all it was great. loved it.P.s. I'm still quite drunk.

I grew up watching the old Godzilla movies when I was a kid, so when I saw Legendary was making a Godzilla film I knew I had to see it...and ended up watching it three times in movie theaters. I loved it even though it didn't quite turn out how I expected I'll take watching it over almost any other movie to come out in 2014 any day of the week. If a Godzilla fan walks up to you and tells you it sucks, because Godzilla isn't in the movie that much and the human story is boring, they're not worth listening to. That's how it goes in almost all of the Japanese movies and no one ever complains about that, so they're just being biased...and they won't admit it. Granted the movie is a little slow, but I've never felt this much suspense in a Godzilla movie since I watched the 1954 movie...and I've seen every Godzilla movie that's come out so far! Thank you Gareth Edwards for bringing back my all time favorite movie character. I know you're not directing Godzilla King of the Monsters or Godzilla vs Kong, but I can't wait to see what's in store for the universe you helped create. GO GODZILLA
