Does that spoiler contain spoilers for the movie? Or can I read it without ruining the movie for myself?
 
It's a spoiler for the greatest moment in the film. Do not click it. You need to experience it in theaters.

Speaking of which, the roar sounds fantastic and powerful coming from those theater speakers.
 
Anyway, gotta ask. Basically all the reviews say the first hour, with all the human acting, just sucks. Your opinion?
 
People are hating on it too much. Cranston is damn fantastic. Watanabe's character is also a very interesting character. He gives a lot of the exposition for Godzilla.

One thing to note is that Godzilla's screen time is not as long as I would have liked, especially in the first half. The second half redeems it quite a bit. But like on Jaws, even when you don't see the monster, you feel his presence and he still feels important to the plot. The acting as a whole is not gonna win any oscars, but it sure as hell is better than generic blockbuster shit like Transformers. I found my self caring about what happened to these characters.
 
Now that a little more people might've seen the movie, here are the best and worst things (Spoilers (duh)):

I am serious do not open the spoiler tags unless you've watched the movie.

-Bryan Cranston
-The Intro and Intro Music
-a Reactor blows up ((not) Fukushima)
-Bryan Cranston
-Bryan Cranston cooking something (Meth)
-Hawaii gets devastated (I hate Hawaii)
-MUTO hatches in Area 51 (or so it seems)
-Atomic Bombs are tasty
-Bryan Cranston
-Two MUTOs kissing each other (hottest scene in the movie)
-After that Godzilla beating the shit out of the two MUTOs while accidentally destroying the entirety of San Francisco
-Godzilla: "IMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR"
-Some minutes later, Godzilla vomits his lazors into the MUTOs throat.
-And Bryan Cranston

-Americans forced some feel-bullshit into the movie like they always do.
-Bryan Cranston dies after about 30 minutes.
-There was a scene missing where Ken Watanabe points at Godzilla while moving his lips out of synch.

I laughed more than I should have. That being said, 8/10 would watch again.
 
I feel Cranston should've been in the movie more. But from what we got, he gave a great performance. I give it a solid 4/5. Would watch again.
