Reviews

shoobe01-1 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.

robertsquentin Godzilla by Gareth Edwards will polarize audiences. For one the giant lizard is barely on screen and even the fleeting moments are punctured by the focus being strictly on the humans. This is not to say this is a bad adaptation of the iconic Japanese monster- if anything this is more faithful than the 1998 effort. The scenes of mayhem are well executed but we have seen all the carnage so many times it doesn't surprise us anymore. De-sensitivity has set in and even scenes of massive waves rising and hurling towards land don't bring out any kind of excitement. On the other hand, some moments of silence are good- including a scene on a railway track which is a highlight. The actors are all competent.

TheNameBrand The first Godzilla I've seen, I definitely enjoyed the giant fighting monsters the best. The plot and the characters were not super great, and I definitely wished they kept Cranston alive and made him the protagonist, because all the stories of the human characters were a little bland, but I appreciate the focus on Godzilla. For what it was trying to do though, it did it well, and I can appreciate the art in that, even though it's not particularly my cup of tea.

drystyx Hard to believe that a Godzilla movie could be dull, but this is dull. The production team makes the mistake of modern movie making. They try to confuse the audience with a bunch of special effects that make you feel the headache of an annoying arcade or a goofy casino full of those annoying lights flashing over and over. Pretty much everything is contrived for the sake of what little the writer and director have in mind. We never feel we're there. We only feel we're in the presence of people making a movie, and that's a poor sign. If you can stay awake for the first two hundred years of this movie (it will seem like two hundred years), you'll finally see a monster. The biggest problem is we just get the same characters over and over. Hollywood thinks all men have to be married with families, or they're worthless garbage. Again and again, we are alienated by Hollywood "superiority" complexes. Not pathetic, but this movie is tedious and annoying.
