It would still contain fissionable material for them to feed on.

umm, bombs have radiactive material in them, like uranium.

I pretty much agree with the OP, although I haven't seen any other Godzilla movies besides the 1997 Hollywood one.

Also, way too many cliches and buff American marines.

This was the most stupid and totally bllocks film in the last 5-6 years! Nothing in this film made any sense! You wanna watch a good monster movie then watch Pacific Rim!

My god most of you clearly have no clue how a typical Godzilla movie works.

This was a fantastic Godzilla movie.

There is always a strong human element and not 50/50 Godzilla. Sure, more focus on the big fights would have been better, but what was shown was great as is.

There is almost always a strong military talk/push. Of course now its fun to be anti-American since most good movies are Hollywood and of course have big American PR. We get it. You're tired of Hollywood depiction of US military. oh well. Deal with it or push your nation to have a better film industry. As for a Godzilla film, especially one where Godzilla is unknown, there is definitely going to be big cock military talk about plans to kill him. Of course it all fails horribly as you simply can't do that to Godzilla. Biggest reason why this movie destroys the '98 film. Aside from this one actually looking/acting like Godzilla.

Its a fantasy monster movie. The first one had a weapon that made oxygen into a weapon of mass destruction. Others have had freeze rays and tons of fantasy sci-fi BS. ITS NOT GOING TO MAKE PERFECT SCIENTIFIC SENSE. If you wan that, than stick to Discovery channel movies on dinosaurs. Go watch Cosmos. I want my fantasy/sci-fi Godzilla adventures! I mean an animal can create atomic fire/laser from its lighted back fin/bones for christ sake! How "real" is that? Did you cry foul when Smaug breathed fire too? or when a "elf" could nimbly move up a giant elephant and kill it with a few well placed arrows? wtf.

And all of you obviously Oscar voting motherfuckers talking about acting and darkened environment... oh my fucking god. GODZILLA WILL NEVER BE AN OSCAR WORTHY MOVIE!! Have you literally never watched a monster flick?

This was about taking a Japanese IP that has a very long and widely respected history and lore and recreating that with a modern technological approach. It was done VERY well. It is a great Godzilla movie and I can't wait to watch it again. It has also created a large new set of Godzilla fans from the multitude of kids who went and watched it. I love that.

Its just all you arm-chair big time movie critics looking for the next schindler's list that have issues.

But they fed on radiation. Not fissionable materials. The movie clearly stated this. It's a nitpick I know but it really was an annoying plothole.

And so is a banana. No way they would have been able to feed that nest off that much uranium.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're not familiar wirth the Godzilla series.

Because that is just making shit up yourself to make a terrible plot make sense. It was a plot hole. Don't need to defend it so much. I actually enjoyed the movie but I can take it for what it is. That part of the plot just really bugged me. 

If you're applying strict scientific logic to a giant monster movie, you're barking up the wrong tree in the first place; creatures like Godzilla and the Mutos couldn't even support their own weight on land realistically speaking.
