Godzilla had the expectation to be one of the biggest box office hits of the year, but what was expected to be a bang was more of a whimper. Godzilla offers interesting special effects and a 3D experience that might seem fun walking into the theater, but you might not feel the same way walking out. This movie was one that did not have a “Wow” factor.

Godzilla’s visuals could wow anybody, but the plot was even sparser than one might reasonably expect. The destruction of major cities by a giant sea-beast is always fun to see, but besides that the movie does not have a lot going for it.

The reason this movie had a lot of promise was because the trailer was amazing and had Bryan Cranston narrating it. Even Cranston was a letdown, since his character was a marginal one. Halfway through the movie it becomes funny at how bad the acting is, which for some people is funny so it might have that going for it.

One of the biggest teases throughout the movie is that it a full view of Godzilla eludes the viewer until about an hour in and it is the best part of the movie. Chills will run down your back. He is the best actor by far and it is surprising to find out that he is not the main villain in the movie; once again back to the trailer which has been misleading since the beginning, he could be described as more of a vigilante.

Overall, the movie offers a dull script that even the towering Godzilla cannot save.

Should you see the movie?  You have to be a pretty big Godzilla fan to see this one.  There are just so many things working against this movie to see it.  Personally, I would suggest waiting for the DVD.
