Godzilla (2014)

way too much fucking focus on the son life and his love life you dont even see the first two battles. Over all I was expecting more however the movie was pretty well done. the surprise of the 3rd monster was quite nice. the black people who sat next to me @ the IMax were rude talking and whispering through out the movie. the ending was a let down he just wakes up and walks back to the ocean ok ...i guess. The climax fight was good breathing that atomic breath down that bitches throat and ripping her head off thumbs up. I guess the hole explanation for godzilla waking up just to fight was stupid he just happen to be listening to there mating call? and whoever said he was too fat was right.

Bryan Cranston dying was a huge mistake for the story. After he died it felt like there was no real lead character. They could have gone indepth with his research rather than the whole saving the family plot. The japanese dude was also hard to understand sometimes.

I too agree that killing off Cranston early was a HUGE mistake. I think the human story could have been significantly better with Walter White caliber acting driving the plot instead of ho hum Kickass.

Killing Cranston off so early just seemed so goddamn stupid. I thought it was gonna be awesome with Watanabe and Cranston teaming up to figure out what these monsters are about, how they interact, how to get them to fight each other, etc. Instead Cranston just dies in a shitty way, and Watanabe utters the most idiotic things in a soft whisper. "We should do nothing, Godzilla will save us." Wakandan, are you fucking high, what the fuck kind of scientific idea is that???

Yeah I understand Godzilla is supposed to be this japanese thing about how after WW2 they felt utterly defeated, and Godzilla represents nature kicking their ass without being able to fight back. Thats not really an American philosophy though and besides, that didn't really happen here anyways.

Like I said in my first review, I thought the last 20 minutes were great, his finishing move on Momma Muto was AWESOME. But I don't want a 20 minute movie, I want a full movie. I'm fine with their idea of not showing much of the monsters until the end, I get the "horror buildup" idea like Jaws. But shit, if you do that you gotta have a good story involving the humans, not Slab McJockRock traveling around the Pacific bringing death and destruction wherever he goes. movies like Independence Day or Stargate barely show the baddies until the end, but they have a great story and actors to carry it. This didn't. I kind of wonder if Cranston just wanted off the movie or something and they had to do a last minute complete script rewrite.

Also, the Godzilla convoy was great. It was all like, "OK guys, lets get this big boy back to MURRICA!"
