Just got back from Godzilla. The last 15 minutes or so are pretty good. The rest... meh.

I get that you don't want to have too much monster action or it all becomes white noise. But, that being the case, it's therefore essential that the human characters who carry most of the movie should have.. you know... an actual character. And it's not the fault of the actors. They're just playing the most generic of standard, one-note roles that could have come straight out of a made-for-TV movie.

Yes, the atomic blast is a moment of pure awesome. And there's a couple of other great moments here and there. But that's what they are. Moments. And in a two hour movie, you need more than just moments.
