The skydive shot comes to mind and got me really pumped to see this one! Then I had to suffer through it once Cranston died. I'm still amazed (appalled?) that they killed him off after hooking us to him emotionally. I get that his son was estranged and not very emotionally attached but there are so many better ways to make this work. Once I realized that the guy who wrote Doom and the Expendables movies wrote this I wasn't really surprised it was so terrible. It's a shame though because this movie had so much potential.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125740232015356415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613122842587443050.post-67260403700604593202015-04-22T10:54:09.880-04:002015-04-22T10:54:09.880-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125740232015356415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613122842587443050.post-88559672679872433402015-04-17T21:58:22.148-04:002015-04-17T21:58:22.148-04:00Thanks, Vanessa!

If the director missed doing the monsters right, it would have received a solid F. I think that the monsters were just right, however: not crazy superpowered. Godzilla was awesome, but he was slow. It's not like he was zipping all over the place. That's what sets this film apart from transformers, who are so overpowered that it's just not fun anymoreJake Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490879796584307734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613122842587443050.post-92207337543144803242015-04-17T19:56:28.078-04:002015-04-17T19:56:28.078-04:00First, this entire post was hilarious.

Having Juliette die within the first 5 minutes was my first clue that I'd hate this movie. Then Bryan bites the dust and I was stunned and not in a good way. Poor Watanabe only gets like seven lines and is told to stare off into space because that's what every scientist would do, right? And 20 minutes of Godzilla in its own movie is not enough.

So the lack of plot didn't bother me because I wasn't looking for it, but my goodness, I did not give a shit about that guy getting back to his family. <br />I did like the slow reveal they did with Godzilla but this movie did drag a little. I forgot how long it was. I think you gave it a fair grade.

Lame. <br /><br />Dr. Serizawa, as Jacob Baugher noted, was there to be cryptic. Truly not a deep character, and depth is demanded of a scientist. Just didn't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
