MY REVIEW:
I wanted this movie to be awesome. I really did. I have always been a big fan of Godzilla Movies. I thought that I was going to get darker view of the old version. What I ended up with was a generic cookie-cutter military movie that was just far less that I wanted. It was good, but not great.

It was the ending that really ruined it for me! It felt like the movie wanted me to make the call if Godzilla was good or bad. That's just not what Godzilla is supposed to be. He is a force of nature that cannot be controlled. Godzilla is just supposed to "BE" nit thought up into something else.

Character development... A little flawed for me. I liked Bryan Cranstons character, it seemed that he was well developed and made sense. Everyone else just seemed like they were reading the lines as asked.

It summed to turn a little confection for me at times as thought the movie itself didn't know what it was supposed to be.. thriller, horror, science fiction, a hero movie... etc. Just seemed to be less cohesive.

I think it was a good movie. Overhyped and the trailers made the movie look very different from the movie that I saw.
