Buildings and expectations crash down in Godzilla

Caught 2 movies last night at the local drive-in (yes, these still exist!) and another this morning, so got to get caught up!

I had high hopes for Godzilla, though I’m not sure why. Maybe I was ready for a good sci-fi film, unfortunately this was a big letdown. The acting is pretty bad, with very over-dramatic pauses, rough dialogue and even worse delivery of the rough dialogue. There are more scenes in the movie where the music quits, everyone gets quiet, and something moves in the background/foreground/off-camera than probably any other movie made in the last 50 years. I’m sad to say this movie feels like one of the old English-dubbed Japanese disaster movies that are always ridiculed, only with big budget special effects. I know a few people that roll their eyes a lot. If they saw this movie, they’d strain the muscles around their eyes by the end of this film.
