What are you talking about? Gareth Edwards did an excellent job on Godzilla 2014! It wasn't perfect, but it was far better than any other non-Toho interpretations of Godzilla. Yes, the human characters could have been better, but no one goes to a monster movie to see human drama. They go to see the monsters. As for the lack of screen time for the big guy, that's nothing to complain about. A lot of monster movies are like that. They only give you hints and traces of the titular monster's presence until about halfway through the movie, then they finally give you a good look at the monster in a dramatic reveal. It's a way to build anticipation and suspense, and it is a common element in classic monster films. The original 1954 Godzilla used the same format. In fact, Godzilla got more screentime in the 2014 film than he did in his debut film! Godzilla 2014 was a great film. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but when was the last time we got a perfect Godzilla film? I mean, really! It was certainly better than that giant, unbelievable steaming pile of crap we got in 1998. This film was a welcome relief from that fiasco. The titular monster was definitely Godzilla as opposed to something that only vaguely looks like him, and I actually felt like I was watching a Godzilla film, instead of just another d-list monster movie or a knockoff. Edwards is the only director so far that didn't work for Toho that can actually claim to have made a genuine Godzilla franchise film. People lie, you are being way to critical of what is a perfectly good film. Absolute perfection in cinema is something that is rarely achieved, if it ever has been achieved.
