I'd have loved for dear old Bryan Cranston dad to join with Ken Watanabe's Dr. Granted he does lock and load and goes to war against the MUTOs, but he's at heart trying to find his wife and son - which is all too conveniently wrapped up in a nice little bow. Essentially this journey home quest is pretty damn close to War of the Worlds. With that, I do feel the drama of Aaron Taylor-Johnso's Ford and his family could have been handled in a more interesting way. Not to body shame a 390-foot monster, but he hasn't been doing his crunches. As he says we're ants to the big guy so we're only given perspective glimpses of him until it is absolutely essential that the audience see him in all his glory - even if occasionally it does look like he's spent the last few decades watching daytime tv and swilling beers. While I agree with parts of what Michael said in his original review, I actually like that this film pulls back on the Godzilla vs MUTO action.
