This isn't a terrible movie. Production costs are obviously high. Acting is not great, but is above average. Story is okay... but thats not the draw to Godzilla movies. Special effects are also top notch. You get, not one, not two, not three but four major Godzilla monsters. The recipe for at least an above average movie was there. Unfortunately, they decided to go all in the human/people drama. The movie is about 2 hours, and out of that run time, 90% is all about the humans. I know you can't make a whole movie only on monsters fighting, but wow, they really went overboard. Every time you finally get into any monster fights or just monsters appearing, within 10-20 seconds, immediately cuts to the human drama. It would be nice to get about a minute or two of just the monsters going at it from time to time. It all just felt very unbalanced and awkward, and felt more annoyed by the characters than anything else. If you want a great example of balancing human drama with suspenseful monster fights watch Pacific Rim.
