Silly Loud confusing and mainly plotless. The film is over dark and hard to see and the Special effects are clever but the old films made the monster more endearing!

Gareth Edward was a perfect choice to bring back Godzilla after his fantastic feature debut Monsters Bryan Cranston, fresh off the Breaking Bad series, plays an over-the-top crazed father to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's lead protagonist Ford Brody. Cranston's hair must not have grown back from Breaking Bad because his wig looks terrible -- like his performance. Frankly, it makes the first act tedious before he thankfully is killed off. His son and the film's lead Ford is luckily played in a much more understated manner making him likeable and grounding the movie a bit from Ken Watanabe's and Sally Hawkins' scenes of bug eyed stares and stupid exposition. You don't get a glimpse of Godzilla until nearly the first hour mark and the slow reveal is fantastic. And you don't see him again for awhile until he shows up at San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in one of the best scenes of the movie. The movie meanders a lot in the middle act between two many locations that feel like filler. But it's all a setup for an excellent final act and showdown in San Francisco. The special effects are good and you can actually see what's going on in the fights and destruction, unlike the sequel. My favorite scene, even with all the rest of the rampaging, is where the paratroopers skydive into San Francisco and you see Godzilla fighting a MUTO in a POV from their goggles. The payoff is worth the long wait to the end.

Not a perfect film. But Godzilla is great popcorn entertainment with great performances especially from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe and more. As well as having a very well written story and script. Godzilla like I said might not be perfect but it still delivers what we want.

Godzilla is a good watch apparently not because of the screenplay but because of its grand visual and audio effects, its action-packed scenes, and for being an overall enjoyable film.
