When this movie started I was starting to see why it was getting rave reviews. We had a story set at an interesting time in Japan and plenty of Godzilla roaming around creating havoc.
But then the actors started to speak. They are horrible and it was a huge distraction throughout the film. Unfortunately overreactive cartoon acting is the norm over here in Japan and it flooded out onto this movie too.
A movie that if treated more seriously could've been great.
(This may not be as much of a problem for people who watch in overdub and/or don't live Japan.) The other thing that crippled the movie is that it started off interesting showing a side of Japan we don't see so often in cinema yet ended up a typical, predictable story without much surprise.
Great to see Godzilla up and running and doing his thing in some fantastic scenes, unfortunately he was let down by his supporting cast.
