Better than most people think

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

After the disappointment of the '98 Godzilla, you'll naturally have doubts about a new American Godzilla movie. Cast those doubts aside. Godzilla (2014) handles all the monster movie tropes correctly and the result is a great addition to the lineage of the King of the Monsters.First, nobody's favorite part of a monster movie is watching the humans talk to each other. This movie is no exception, but the characters aren't annoying or nearly as forgettable as other monster movies' humans. Even after Bryan Cranston's character dies, the characters' story remains followable and interesting.As for the monsters themselves, their roles are handled perfectly. Throughout the film, the monsters' presence is shown very sparingly, giving the creatures the air of mystery that causes you to regard them as titans, not just big things that destroy stuff. They are very rarely shown in their entirety for whole shots until the finale, making their appearances all the more mystical and powerful.One thing I think is noteworthy is that the film features two monsters that are entirely new to the franchise. These monsters, M.U.T.O.s, are terrifying and interesting. Additionally, they serve as the antagonists, giving Godzilla the role of protector of earth; a role that the uninitiated may not know he frequents.All in all, Godzilla (2014) is everything you want in this kind of monster movie. This is a great introduction to the franchise as well as a respectable American adaptation for long time fans.

Here we go again. ITS TOO DARK! Let's have light so we can see what's going on. Dark does not make it more tense, scary etc. Please filmmakers, I know it saves a bit on cgi but please. It's night time, I get it but let's see the monster.

2014 is the best for Godzilla because of the new movie and the 60th anniversary of the first film. This is the best monster movie of the 21st century. Great visual effects, cool writing, all star cast are so good, biggest monsters than skyscrapers. I would like to give this Oscar awards. This is one of my favourite movies in 2014.
