This is a film someone is going to see for the CGI, we already know that.
Thing is, it fails in everything else! No character plot, no story, but most importantly Godzilla appears only 15-20min in total of 2:30hour movie, and with interrupted short fights! It kinda reminded me of Dark Knight Rises and Superman Returns, where you only have about 10-15min (at best) fight scenes. Finally when the fight starts with the two bugs, it is continuously interrupted by US soldiers trying to do their stuff. I did not pay to see US soldiers, but Godzilla!
Looking for a story? Well, the excuse of a new Godzilla movie is that Godzilla "must restore balance to nature, that's why he must kill the two bugs". Real movie dialogue! Go figure. At least in the 1998 movie it wanted to reproduce, that's why it surfaced. We had a reason for its appearance.
Overall, please ignore this insult to the Godzilla movie history. Still my best movie is the 1998, and i really do not know why reviews bury it. Prefer the original 1960's Japanese movies. They are so much better than this, and Godzilla fights much more, with extended screen time appearance.
