I'm not a big Godzilla fan, but this is what I think of the movie:
1. I too hated the part when they cut the male Muto-Godzilla fight in Hawaii. The movie could have been better with 2 or 3 fights.
2. Killing Bryan Cranston in the middle of the movie was a big and stupid mistake. Aaron Taylor-Johnson tries to do his best, but he's simply not experienced enough, and I felt that his acting was really forced. It could have turn out better with Bryan Cranston there.
3. The final battle was awesome! Incredible! I have no words to describe it. And the Atomic Breath... I almost cried when he did it! But I felt that the marines scenes at the end were forced into the script.
4. I liked the background story they built up since the beggining, and I liked that the movie didn't take too much time to explain Godzilla's origin.
Overall I think it's a solid 7/10. An enjoyable movie. It could have been perfect if it had 3 full battles, and if they didn't kill Bryan Cranston because I can't really imagine ATJ as the main character of a sequel.
