One thing I have to say is Bryan Cranston is a phenomenal actor, he steals each scene whether is is crying, shouting, or even looking around. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is one of the worst actors I have ever seen.
He just lacks charisma and when he tries to convey emotions it is without any conviction in his eyes and combine that with Elizabeth Olsen who I adore but overacts in every other scene, it was cringing experience.
The worst part of it all was how slow the plot was moving in the whole movie. They should of just Axe Aaron character all together and have Bryan be the main protagonist. With that being said, the visual affects of this movie was amazingly well done. The outskirts of Tokyo, Hawaii and San Fan was beautifully depicted. The destruction and chaos of cars, buildings, and planes falling everywhere had me on the edge of my seat.
When there was fighting, it was captivating and I cheered hard for the king of monsters. If they were able to just edit out all of Aaron Taylor's parts and reduced the movie to one hour and 30 mins then it would of worked much better. The pacing was great in the first 40 mins and fell apart in the 3rd act. I loved the film even with its minor faults, I would def recommended to everyone who is a fan of the beast. Jaden Smith and Aaron Taylor should have a battle on who have the worst "acting" ability.
A little disheartening when we know ATJ is our lead character.....but we'll see.

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-07-2014 1:42 AMWell, after reading the review, it sort of confirms my fears about how the story would progress according to Gareth Edward's way of directing.
To be honest? I wasn't too impressed by Gareth's last movie, 'Monsters' because there was too much focus and unnecessary interactions taking place between the casts that dominated almost 90% of the movie that makes one wonder where the F** are the monsters. And when you really get to see them, it was a turn off. And you know I was in the cinema watching it and there were a number of people who actually got up and left halfway through the show. Even my friends who watched it with me felt the movie was building up suspense only to end up with crap. Which is why I could understand why people like Roland Emmerich had doubts over Gareth being the correct person to do the job for a movie like Godzilla.
I hope I dun have to see people getting up and walking off the show this time again, since the reviewer mentioned that for 1hr 30mins u dun see Godzilla at all until the final 30 mins. I will provide my own review when I catch it on 13/14th May Pacific Time.
