It’s baffling how often writers in genres like monster, superhero, and horror films seem to assume audiences lack any intelligence—or perhaps they themselves don't grasp just how bad their work is. The Godzilla script deserves a special condemnation for squandering the potential of what could have been a decent film. The movie began with those familiar scenes involving a nuclear power plant, which initially made me groan at the predictable anti-nuclear message. However, thankfully, it wasn’t quite as expected. That opening sequence turned out to be practically the only redeeming aspect of the entire screenplay. The rest is simply an accumulation of illogical and poorly thought-out material. The plot quickly devolves when Ford's father removes his mask, takes a sniff, and announces there's no radioactivity in the air. Only someone with limited understanding could write something so ridiculous. Then comes the scene where soldiers rush into the Nevada nuclear waste facility, meticulously checking each door’s inspection hatch until they find one with a light—only to discover that the monster has broken free, leaving a massive hole large enough for a battleship to pass through, and nobody noticed until some marines started inspecting doors from inside? It takes a certain level of intellectual deficiency to craft a scene like that. The entire storyline is essentially this same kind of nonsensical mess. They simply follow the creatures as they head toward populated areas before attempting any action. That’s just absurd. If a massive, city-destroying creature were approaching a large population center, it would be neutralized long before reaching it. Furthermore, when they do attack, they use light weaponry and perhaps a tank gun or two. If millions of people were in danger, I'd reasonably expect the military to commit every resource available against that threat. And don’t even get me started on the ridiculous idea of luring the monsters out to sea with a nuclear weapon—that’s just nonsense! Despite all this criticism, why did I award the movie 6 out of 10 stars? Because I enjoy large monster movies, and the scenes where they rampage and battle each other are genuinely impressive. Sadly, that's about all there is to praise regarding this film.
