Much like last year's "Man of Steel," the latest iteration of the "Godzilla" franchise is high on beautiful and haunting imagery and low on story and character development. Director Gareth Edwards definitely knows how to stage an epic city-stomping sequence. His vision of the famous Japanese monster is exciting and, at times, awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, the humans in the film are as dull as any you'll see in the genre. The film hits its emotional high point in the first scene and steadily goes down hill from there. Despite the convincing nature of the visuals, the people never really act like real people would if giant monsters were terrorizing humanity, and therefore take the edge off the whole experience. This is possibly worthy of a look for the visuals alone, just don't expect much beyond that.
