I absolutely love the premise of this movie. There are parts of this movie that are well done and thought provoking. Unfortunately there is quite a bit of the movie that drifts and becomes hard to stay interested in. Johnny Depp plays this in his most cool and aloof mode with almost a complete lack of emotion. While that made some sense after he is uploaded into a computer, he pretty much played it the same way when he was human. Rebbeca Hall is better, as Depp's wife, but the script just doesn't really allow her to do anything beyond mediocre. Paul Bettany is the highlight of the movie as far as acting goes.

If your a hardcore SCi-Fi fan, by all means see this movie. If you just have to see everything that Johnny Depp does, then go ahead and watch this. Otherwise there are better movies out there to invest 2 hours of your life in.

I read several user reviews and the first one I read was right on the money. This is a monster movie that tips it's hat to the Godzilla of the 1950's. If you loved the cheesy dialog and campy fun of those then you will love this movie. Of course, the CGI adds a lot that the early movie couldn't, then again you also lose the laughs of an obvious toy stomping around on thousands of fleeing Japanese. Outside of that though the similarities are endless, the dialog is wooden, the lines in some places are laughable. The plot could be predicated by any cinema knowledgeable 6 year old. and please don't go to see it for the acting, I promise you will leave disappointed.

The long and short of it is, if you loved the old Godzilla(as I do), you will love this one even more, otherwise stay home. Oh and one last thing, this is actually not Godzilla, it's Godzilla vs. Mothra, if you're a fan you'll know the significant difference.

This is not a a very believable movie. There are a thousand things that you can nitpick about the plot, but at the end of the movie I had to look back and say, I really enjoyed that. It's almost non-stop suspense, and I will give the writers this nod, I had no idea who the bad guy was until he's revealed at the very end.

The only reason I watched this movie was that I have become such a fan of the Liam Neeson thriller, I like millions of others became hooked with Taken. When you look at other action stars, say Jason Statham, for instance, he looks like a bad ass. Liam Neeson looks, and has the mannerisms of an everyman, so when he goes into full bad ass mode it's such a wonderful surprise, even when you know it's coming.

This long and the short of it is, this movie is worth your time and I think you'll enjoy it. If you liked Taken, there is an even better chance that you will like it, make no mistake, this is not as good a movie as taken, but it is worth a watch, IMHO
