Review of Godzilla (2014) by Raj_Ebert — 21 May 2014
The problem with Godzilla is it tries to attract the adult audience while remaining a silly fun flick meant for pre-teen viewers. And Godzilla totally fails in this attempt. The visuals are stunning. The monsters in the movie look over engineered and the audience are unable to comprehend what they are looking at.
This is neither a monster movie, nor a disaster flick but tries to achieve both and fails in both aspects. The human characters are underdeveloped and the monsters are overdeveloped to an extent that if you are not a pre-teen audience or a die hard Godzilla fan, this movie would be an ordeal to sit through.
The plot is silly and incomplete with most of the times some unknown character look at the sky with awe. The flying monsters are so synthetic looking, you get tired of looking at them for the second time.
Godzilla is an evidence that both Hollywood and the American audience are losing their taste in movies with substance, and are leaning towards eye candy, synthetic extravaganza with no life in the content.
