Godzilla

I watch a lot of trailers. Too many in fact. The problem with trailers is that if I watch them enough times I can see the plot and begin to guess what is going to happen, who's going to die etc. I watched the Godzilla trailer many times and I have to admit, I liked the look of it and couldn't really see what was going to happen. I was excited for this one. 

Weeks later, I did the usual trip to the cinema with fiancé in toe. She also loves films, but not trailers. For the first hour of set up with the human characters and Godzilla backstory and so on, I was intrigued but not desperate for more. By the time Godzilla made an appearance I was so bored and uninterested that I didn't care. I didn't care about the human characters one bit. Now I like Araon Taylor kick ass and I like Walter White, Elizabeth Olsen, ken watanbe but I just didn't feel anything for any of them. They let this film down for me. 

Only when Godzilla is on screen did I feel a little excitement, tension, even emotion. Without giving away the plot the end 20 minutes of Godzilla are the best and most fun. I really enjoyed standing out of my seat and leaving too. 

150 million well spent. 

Very disappointed.
