Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla (2014) – Attractively shot but predictable and sluggish with overblown and uninteresting human drama, it’s a deadly serious film that refuses to acknowledge that it’s actually a fundamentally silly B-movie; it’s got some great disaster shots, but Edwards cuts away from its monsters at the most annoying times—if you want to get away with taking this kind of thinking-man’s approach to showing the carnage (and not showing Godzilla), you need a way better script; dear every character, why would you even try small arms fire on one of those things? 5
