This past Thursday, I went to the midnight premiere of the new Godzilla movie in high hopes of having a great time. Unfortunately, I was dead wrong in thinking this because I was thoroughly disappointed in this movie.

In the trailer to the film, it appeared that it was going to be a darker more story driven version of the previous Godzilla movies. It was Kind of like what Christopher Nolan did with the batman series with”The Dark Knight” Trilogy. How naive of me to think this. I know summer blockbusters never seem to be more than commercial films made specifically for the box office but I wanted this film to be good so bad that I overlooked my opinion on these kind of movies and saw Godzilla.

The fact that Bryan Cranston, star of the hit show ‘Breaking Bad’ was in this movie served as incentive for me to go to see it but unfortunately, he wasn’t in much of the film at all. The star of the film was Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played a marine and the son of a scientist who was responsible in discovering Godzilla. Taylor-Johnson’s character was the protagonist of the film but he didn’t seem like much of a hero at all. The only thing he really does is plan a bomb to distract Godzilla. Besides that this character is useless in the development of this movie.

Most of “Godzilla” is just million dollar special effect monsters fighting for 2 hours. “Godzilla” was more of a monstrosity movie than a monster movie.
