"Godzilla 2014". As a refresher before I saw "G:KOTM", I decided to watch this, which I have not seen since 2014, when I bought the blu-ray.
I maintain, that this movie's greatest sin is not Godzilla's screen time, or lack of monster action, or Aaron Taylor-Johnson, or Bryan Cranston's early demise (if anything, I was more upset with Juliet Binoche's character getting the axe, in the very beginning!). The movie's greatest fault was still too many dark scenes which skewed my vision. I had to turn off my ceiling light, to get a better view of it all. Other than that, this movie still garners a solid *** stars. And for fun, I decided to watch this and 1998, the night before, and one could clearly see the difference between a filmmaker who did not care for the source material vs a filmmaker who actually did!
