5 Huge Godzilla Mistakes That King Of The Monsters Must Avoid

5. Inability To Maintain Focus On Godzilla

Godzilla may have been the headlining act in his 2014 reboot but the truth is that he played more of a recurring role, losing the spotlight to just about every other character (human or otherwise). In fact, he ended up spending most of the film underwater, with his glorious spines on display from time to time, only properly surfacing for the film's final act.

Though the Gareth Edwards film did use a lot of smoke and mirrors to make Godzilla seem like the star (such as monologues about his role, a long-drawn out scene focusing on the impact of his arrival building up to his first appearance and multiple discussions about whose side he was on) it still couldn't make up for the fact that he was barely on-screen for eight minutes.

There is absolutely no justifying that, especially when the film was essentially all about the MUTOs (who aren't exactly known for being two-dimensional characters), as well as an abundance of under-developed characters (more on that later).

When you think about it, all Godzilla: King Of The Monsters really has to do is focus on the titular character for at least 10 minutes and it will automatically outdo its predecessor in that department. Shouldn't be too hard in a Godzilla movie, right?
