Well I just saw Godzilla and while I did enjoy parts of it very much. I feel it was a swing and a miss. I knew going in that we don't really see monsters or the King himself for like the first 50 mins (of a two and half hour long film) because the director was "building the tension". Had that been the case I'd have been onboard, but instead I was just bored. See this Godzilla movie can't decided what it wants to be, Is it the thinking mans Godzilla? No it seems it wanted to be and had some neat "science" and conspiracies, but then they remembered "Wait this is a summer block buster and most americans are dumber than shit" so they dumbed down every thing real quick. Ok so is it the huge spectacle Crazy insane BLOCKBUSTER Godzilla? No, again it kept to much of it's slow build and stupid "smarts" to be that. It seems it's going to go there sometimes but then reigns it in. While some of the end fights are amazing, we jump from perspective and angels and shoots too often to make them as enjoyable as I feel they could have been. I really wanted to like this, and if it was and hour or so shorter might have liked it more.
