Godzilla

                 
I honestly can't think of anything that really, properly works about this movie. Why is Godzilla a giant mutant lizard? He should be an ancient angry god beast. Why is every character is isn't worm guy comic relief? Seriously, this film is full of really dumb characters. At different points I thought it was turning into either 'Friends' or 'The Simpsons'.
                
                       
There are lots of coincidental meet ups with Godzilla, and we're always following along as some wacky character or other happens to go after him. No one ever really seemed scared in this movie, I was never close to being scared (or feeling anything) while watching it.
The dumb Godzilla babies were dumb. They were possibly the worst example of bad CG (like no shadows, bad lighting, limited interaction with the real environment etc) but Godzilla is terrible too. The whole movie takes place in the rain to hide how bad the CG is. Oh and Godzilla keep changing size! And why did they try the fish thing twice? And why were the helicopters flying through the city between the buildings? Oh, and you know the worst thing? Godzilla dies. Godzilla doesn't die.
So yeah, watch this if you want to watch a shitty version of 'Jurassic Park' with a big dinosaur watch this. If you want to watch a Godzilla movie, watch the originals.
