I rated it Good. Reasons (Not to mention i saw it in crappy 3-D so that is another blow to my viewing (hoping to see it again in 2-D))

The plot seemed rushed to get into the "oh they are hiding giant monsters here" and explaining what  MONARCH is was just put on a plate for us. And once that was done it slowed down alot and they killed off Bryan Cranston charcther because they didn't need him anymore. And what did that have on the storyline? Nothing. It made his son sad but that is it.

Serizawa didn't seem to have a role in the story other then telling what Monarch is and telling everyone that Godzilla is the answer. Really?

For me it lacked that Godzilla feel.

I felt cheated out of the fight scenes especaitly the 1st one in Hawaii. That was by far the most epic Godzilla entrance in DECADES and they didn't show us the fight just a few clips on a passing tv at Lts house. Then the 2nd fight scene we barely saw. Then the 3rd fight was mostly interrecuted by them foucsing on the soldiers.

Godzilla felt weak in this movie mainly due to him showing signs of exhaustion and then collspeing after fighting the MUTOs/using his atomic breath. << Read on down.

His atomic breath was epic looking and reminded me of his breath from Gojira/King of the Monsters. My 1st thought on it was it looked like firey vomit to me. Then when he killed the female it looked like his atomic beam. Varying levels?

Speaking of his atomic breath did anyone else think of Sasuke's Fire Release with Godzilla's chest enlarging.

The MUTOs were good but felt weak to me. Idk why they were clearly strong. Now heres the thing. The MUTO were a nature evoltion right? Meaning they were hatchlings from millions of years ago. So why was their ranged attack a emp? What would a emp do to a monster like Godzilla? Nothing. The mutos were more geared to fight humans. I understand wanting to show they were a threat but really?

Now for the really what heck scenes.

Showing the female was pregant was ok. Showing from behind and between the legs for an extended clip was awkard very awkard.

Then the giving birth scene was weird and not needed in my option. At least they didn't show the actaully birth scene.

Then it was the whole Gino scene of  OMG MY BABIES ARE DEAD AND OH LOOK THERE IS THE GUY THAT DID IT!!! I CHASE HIM/THEM NOW!!! OMG really?

Gareth has said he would like to do a Destory all Monsters squeal right? Godzilla collasping and showing signs of exhaustion in the 1st movie means to me at least he is going to have to boost Godzilla's stats alot for the DaM movie. I like the fact that Godzilla did show he was tired but felt like it would have been better to end the series with after a big battle in a DaM type moive.
