MemberMothra LarvaeMay-15-2014 5:08 PMI just arrived home from watching the movie, and OMG the movie is so damn awesome, but as reviews say, the human element is just average, but I will leave the rest to my review.
**SPOILERS START HERE**
EDIT: I just remembered a few more plot holes:
-(Minor) Plot Hole '0.5'- So, when Joe and Sandra enter the jeep to go to the nuclear plant, Sandra tells him that Ford made a birthday sign but Joe missed it, is surprised, and then, Sandra says happy birthday and Joe acts all surprised like if he just knew at the moment she told him that.
-Point 1:
So, Aaron Taylor Johnson is not bad, but the way they forced his character to the front by killing Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) was tough to swallow. I knew Joe would die since the "Whatever it Takes" spot, but I did not expect it to be so early into the film.
Anyone else agree with me that Joe's death was premature, or you feel that it was ok, as he would not have a significant role on the rest of the film?
-Point 2 (PLOT HOLE):
If the MUTO's are walking EMP's, then how the lights went back on on the airport when he was on it?
-Point 3:
The airport "battle scene" felt like a sucker punch. Right when s*** was about to go down, we change scene and we only get to see glimpses when Ford's son watches it on TV, but since the MUTO got away in less than a moment before it began, It is kind of forgivable...
...or did you want a full battle from any civilian's POV?
-Point 4 (Plot Hole): On the part where they rushed to the nuclear waste storage to check on the cocoon, how the hell could they not see the MASSIVE hole on the mountain, bringing helicopter and stuff?
-Point 4:
The Atomic Breath. Oh my f****** god(zilla). When I saw the spines starting to glow on the tip of his tail, then lighting his spines like a christmas tree, I was like "OMG, he is gonna do it. He is gonna do it now!!!" When he fired the first time and then, fired again, I didn't get to see the rest as I had to go to the bathroom change my underwear(just kidding, I held long enough until I got home). It was what I expected it to be, but I thought it would be powerful enough to make a hole on the MUTO's.
Do you think the Atomic Breath was fine or did it felt a bit weak(on the first two times)?
Point 5:
Best part: Ford holds the female MUTO at gunpoint with a pistol (lol), and suddenly, Godzilla grabs her and forces her mouth open to fire the Atomic Breath into her throat, melting her neck and decapitating her, and lets out a victory roar, throwing the head to the water. (FATALITY!)
Come on, I don't think many people disagree with me, but if so, what was your favourite moment?
Point 6 (Plot Hole):
When Godzilla first emerged in Honolulu, it caused a big damn tsunami, but when he emerges and goes back into the water in San Francisco, nothing happens.
**END OF SPOILERS**
Easter egg:(On the scene where Ford and Joe return to their original home in Janjira, if you pay attention to what seems to be and aquarium, there is a label with MOTHRA written on it.
So, that is it. Please do not take this as a review, but rather some thing I wanted to discuss with you.
